given $4,000 In cash, the homestead
In Chicago and the income from ST.
900 during her life, the sum to re-
vert to the estate after her death. Her
acceptance OF the will would have
made It practically impossible for her
to leave anything to the two sons, who
were practically disinherltcd by their
father. Her third interest as DOVER
gives her $3,O0O.OOO in personal prop
erty and a one-third interest for life
In the real estate held by Mr.. Pullman.
The estimate makes the estate OF Mr..
Pullman aggregate at least $15,OOO.O 600,
instead Of $7.OOO.OOO, as announced
Immediately after his death.

=. . o. Improvement. comp,s,ed.


The Improvements on the main line
OF the Baltimore and Ohio. west OF.
and between Martinsburg. w. Va. and
North Mountain. were completed No
vember 1st. They cover a distance Of
nearly four miles. starting three miles
west of Martinsburg. and extending
some distance west OF Myers Hole.
which Is near the North Mountain sta
tion. At Myers Hole the line was
changed. taking out some very objec-
tionable curvature. and the roadbed
raised nearly fifteen feet. eliminating
two grades OF 42 feet per miles which
came together at Myers Hole. and sub
stituting therefor an almost level
track. This point on the road has
always been q dangerous one and
many freight wrecks have occurred
there. Apart from doing away with
the dangerous feature OF two sharp
down grades coming together. as was
the case In this instance. the saving in
operation OF the road by the change
viii be very large, as 1t enables the
tons per train TO be greatly increased
and reduces the liability to accident to
the minimum.
At Tablers the road bed has been
lowered about thirteen feet. and the
same At Tabbs. besides taking out OBJ
1ectionable curvature and reducing the
rate OF grades at these points from i2
feet per mile to ten feet per mile. thus
Increasing the cars that can be hauled
per train. Though these improve
ments have cost quite q sum Of money.
the expenditure IL fully justified by
the great saving In operation.
