More Perfect SignnIs.

The recent accidents on the Vandala and
the Chicago & Northwestern emphasize the
necessity of still further improving signals
by some emergency arrangement by which,
as in the case of the Vandalia or the Chi
cago a. Northwestern, every man of the
train crew can be brought to his senses.
An experienced railway official of Pittsburg
says that railroadng will never be made
perfectly safe until an arrangement is in
troduced whereby in case an engineer fails
to detect a danger signal the extended
horizontal arm of the semaphore will in
tercept a rod on the cab roof and make
an automatic emergency stop. He says
this will have TO be done some day if they
keep on burdening the minds of the en-
gineerS with too many orders and at the
same time requiring them to make faster
time with heavier trains, necessitating
greater attention to the condition of the
engine. He thinks that the plan devised
by some Of the Eastern roads in having
an extra man on the engine to look after
the water and the machinery, leaving the
engineer to look after the signals and the
running of the machine alone, is a capital
ONE and ought to be more generally in
troduced, and especially when several extra
sections of express trains are to be run
over road where the men are not used to
q heavy traffic.

TO Represent the &c.

Henderson, July 13.--After three
postponements the property of the
Ohio Valley Railroad Company was
this afternoon sold at auction to the
highest bidder. Only one bid was
made, but as that was equaled to the
upset price fixed by Judge Barr the
railroad and equipments were de.
clared sold to Judge Alex p. Hum

Trust Company, in whose name the
suit was brought against the Ohio
Valley Road.
Immediately upon the conclusion

court, Judge Humphreys drew from
his Pocket leather case from which
he produced check which he hand
ed to Commissioner Roberts. The
check was drawn by Judge Hum
phreys on the Bank of Kentucky for
100000 and had been certified by
the bank.

Trust Company for the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad, which is known to have
already secured controlling interest
in the bonds of the read.

precipitated Mr.. Cooper, catching
him under the vehicle and dragging
him some distance, however he es,
capped with but few bruises, and a
torn coat. The buggy was totally
demolished.

Shooting at saIubrIa.

The colored people around Salu-
bria, near Pembroke, had festival
last Saturday night. Things went
we'll for a time, but later in the
night row occurred between John
Rawlins and George Fruit. Rawlins
drew his gun and shot Fruit in the
breast. The ball passed directly over
the heart, but barely broke the skin
and the wound proved only slight
one. Rawlins Immediately fled and
has not been heard from since. Fruit,
who at first thought that he had been
fatally wounded, was out the next
day and has suffered little incon-
venience on account Of his injury,

Two Ladies' Badly Hurt.

While Mrs. r. G. Pace and Mrs
Thos. Adcock, of the Herndon neigh
borhood, were out driving Monday
afternoon the horse became frightened
and ran away. Mrs Adcock jumped
out of the buggy and was very badly
bruised. Mrs Pace was thrown from
the vehicle and sustained what nav
prove fatal injuries. Her collar bone
was broken and it is feared that she
was injured internally. She was also
cut and bruised in many places and
owing to her age-62 years-there are
serious doubts about her recovery.

WARNER AGAIN INSANE
Taken to the Hillside Home Along with
an Italian Boy, Who Was Also
Adjudged Insane.

"Billy" Warner who not many years
ago was one of the best engineers the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
company had, was taken to the Hill
side Home yesterday for the second
time as an insane patient. On the
same train to Clarks Summit and
handcuffed to Warner was a 13-year-old
Italian boy, Joseph Triko, of Dunmore,
also insane.
Warmers arrangement is said to date
from 1889 when he was injured in n
wreck on the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western railroad on the bridge
over South Adams aveule. The engine
Warner was driving was badly smash
ed and he was hurled from the bridge
to the road. His left leg was badly
smashed. The wound healed but War
ner has been lame since and his leg
shows the effects of the injury.
He was confined to the home once
before but recovered and was discharg-
ed.
Wednesday night Warner began his
insane antics in the North End. He
was arrested and afterward released.
Yesterday he was again arrested by
Patrolmen Hart and Peuster and in the
afternoon Drs. Gunster and Bernstein
for the Poor district, examined him and
declared him insane.
Two watches found in his clothing
were sent to his wife at her home on
Prescott avenue. In the cell at the
police station yesterday Warner tore
his clothing off.
Triko, the young Italian, was hand
ed over for examination to poor board
physicians by his father. He was ad-
judged insane. He got into a buggy
on Lackawanna avenue Wednesday
night and drove to the South Side
| where he was captured. Thursday
right he persisted in stealing the dan
ger lanterns on Mulberry street. His
| home is in Dunmore.

Did you ever notice that most women
go up stairs on all fours? Well, not
quite, perhaps, but entirely too much
in that fashion.
1t is fashionable just now in this
town to have hay fever If you sneeze
twice in one day. you have it.
Miss Buckbee, who was one Of the
most capable instructors at the insti-
tute, believes that the Pollard system
of phonics, so much in vogue, does not
combine all the advantages to be de-
sired in this study.
A small boy, not many miles from
Scranton, was saying his prayers the
other night. He was a very little chap,
indeed, only four years old, and after
he had concluded his petition, he in
quired: Mamma, why do I have to
say amen? Why isn't 1t a-woman?
do get awful tired of calling 1t "a
men all the tine" There can be no
doubt in the world that this child is
destined to be an apostle of advance
beyond even Mary Elizabeth Lease.
