WAR IN lNDlA'S HILLS.
Afridis Moving on Khyber Pass-Tele-
graph Lines Cut.

Bombay, Oct. 4.-Advices received
from Guistan say the OrakZais are
again gathering in force in the Kuhanki
valley prepared to resist the advance
of the British troops. while bands Of
Mamozais have arrived five miles west
OF Khangarboor. In addition the Afridis
are moving on the Khyber pass and the
telegraph wires from there to Hangu
have once more been cut.
The Chamkanis are also raiding. They
attacked a cavalry patrol near Sadda,
but decamped so soon as reinforcements
arrived. A heavy fall of snow has made
the Koh range safe. The ameer of At
ghanistan has issued a proclamation
forbidding his subjects to leave Afghan
istan to join the holy war under penalty
of 5000 rupees.

All Hut AboIishes the Locomotive Driver a
stopping Places.


st. Paul. Oct. "A very ingenius and
valuable contrivance for the saving OF
life by preventing railroad accidents
through fcrgetfulness OF trainmen has
been invented. The machine has just
stood a very severe test on the Great
Northern railroad, after having been
previously operated successfully on the
st. Paul and Duluth road. The
mechanism Is simply but positively
connected with the forward trucks OF
the engine, thereby accurately measur-
ing the distance Travelled. the dial
placed In front OF the engineer-show-
Ing correctly that distance. Above the
smaller OF two dials are placed fifteen
triggers or dogs, pivoted at equal dis
tances around the center.
When the engineer receives his orders
he sets one or more OF these triggers
to a point one mile short OF the dis
lance to be Travelled before reaching
the stopping place. The mileage indi-
Gator. on reaching such point. releases
the trigger. which starts a signal whistle
blowing. This continues to blow for
one-quarter of mile. promptly warning
the engineer of the near approach TO a
stopping place. If the engineer is mat
tentive and fails To stop when this last
mile has been run the machine sets the
air brake and stops the train for him.
A train similarly equipped coming in
the opposite direction would be stopped
in the same manner, and a collision pre-
vented. The device can be made TO run
forward or backward.

divided in their efforts TO secure the
appointment of a man 10 fill the va
cancy caused by the death Of Judge Of
Probate Peter Pascoe. There are ten
candidates in the field, as follows: S.

Charles Roberts, William Peters and
Henry II. Mildon, Ishpeming. Several
ntiPingree men are urging Lieuten-
ant Governor Dunstan to make an ap-
pointment in the absence of Governor
Pingree, but he declines to do so. He
says the office is too important for him
to fill and desires the governor to make
the choice. About half Of the candi-
dates were out for the office before
Judge Pascoe died and the other half
announced their candidacy before his
interment. II is likely several more
candidates will be in the field before
