That of Her Children.

NEW YORK, Oct. IA woman and
her four children We're found dead by

Forty y-second street and Eleventh ave-
nue., this morning. The woman had
evidently killed her children and COM
mitted suicide. They were registered
as Mrs. Caroline Rivinius, West Point,

train which came from West Point

peared to be about 40 years Of age. The

TO PREVENT RAIL ACCIDENTS.
A VERY INGENIOUS AND VALU-
ABLE CONTRIVANCE.
Which Warns Engineers of Their
Train Orders for Stopping or
Meeting Points.

ST. PAUL, Oct. IA very ingenious
and valuable contrivance for the saw
ing Of life by preventing railroad acci-
dents through forgetfulness of train
men has been invented. The machine
has just stood a. very severe test on
the Great Northern Railroad, after
having been previously operated sue
cessfully on the ST. Paul and Duluth
Road. Practical railroad men in this
section have given strong Endorsements
to the device after seeing it's work
The object of the device is to pro-
vide an accurate and reliable remind
er signal and distance indicator for
locomotives, by means of which the
engineers are prevented from forget
ting their train orders for stopping at
meeting points. The mechanism is
simple, but positively connected with
the forward trucks of the engine, there
by accurately measuring the distance
travelled, the dial-placed in front of
the ngineer-showing correctly the
distance Travelled. Above the smaller
of the two dials are placed fifteen trig-
gers or dogs, pivoted at equal distances
around the center.
When the engineer receives his orders
IIe sets one OI IIlQTC VI lH6S6 triggers
to point one mile short of the dis
tance to be Travelled before reaching
the stopping places. The mileage in
dicator on reaching such point re-
leases the trigger, which starts signal
whistle blowing. This continues to
blow for one-quarter of a mile, prompt
ly warning the engineer of the near ap-
proach to stopping places. If the engi-
neer is inattentive and fails to stop
when this last mile has been run over
the machine sets the air brakes and
stops the train for him. A train SINH
larly equipped coming in the opposite
direction would be stopped in the same
manner. The device can be made to
run forward or backward.
For foggy or stormy weather or for
darkness the device is considered es-
pecially valuable, for ordinary road use,
although its life saving feature was
the point at first sought for by Mr..
Wallace.
After a trial on the st. Paul and
Duluth and repeated trials on the Fer
gus division of the Great Northern. the
new invention was given an unusual
test on the recent trip of President ].
J. Hill to the coast and back. For this
trip the new scheme on one engine, No.
G64, with Engineer John Wilbane for
the entire trip was tried, and the new
life-saving device was on the engine
For the 1,S20 miles to Seattle on the
Great Northern, ITO to Portland on
the Northern Pacific, $50 to Spokane
on the Oregon Railway and Navigation
Company, and through Montana, back
to st. Paul, the new device measured
all distances with accuracy. and by
other tests completely demonstrated its
ability to do all claimed for it.
President Hill has approved it with
considerable enthusiasm, with other Of
ffcials on his road. During the past
five months the new device has been
used successfully on over 1000 miles
of road
A peculiar feature of the test is that
it has been made with the inventors
working model.

A Woman Sells Her Husband for
Four Thousand Dollars.

ST. LOUIS. Oct. 1.-According to the
Post Dispatch John A. Truitt, a con-
ductor on the Northern Central Elec-
trio Street Car Line, was sold by his
wife for $1,000 to a woman who de-
claras that she loves the man more
than his wife does. The deal was the
sequel to the following remarkable
statement to Mrs. Truitt by a Mrs.
Stephens, who lives in this city with
her father:
Mrs. Truitt, I love your husband: 1
want him. 1 have travelled the world
over, and he Is the first man / ever
loved. 1 viii give you $1,000 cash for
him. if you viii give him up

children, seems to agree to the deal.

Truitt, knowing that her husband loved

Mrs. Victor Lahe, sister of Mr.. Ri

to New York was merely a pleasure
excursion. Neighbors scout the suicide
theory, saying that Mrs. Rivinius was
not that kind of a woman, and her
home life was very pleasant, and her
love for her children remarkable. They
know no reason why she should wish
to take her life.
