The pay car passed over the
north end of the Ohio River Rail
road yesterday and the south end
to-day, paying off their employees.
Aboard the car was trainmaster, j.
B. Hopper, and examining physi-
clan, ii. b. Stout, who had all the
train men along the line go through
a severe test as to their capabilities
for seeing at distance and for
color blindness. A majority of
the men examined he'd obtained
am average of so or more, which
goes to show that the men who
hold trusty positions on their line
are men who have splendid eye
sight, both for seeing objects at a
long distance. and are capable of
telling all shades of coIors, which
is a very important thing on rail
road, especially SO for the engi-
neer, who has to keep lookout for
obstacles on the track and be able
to discern at distance the color
