To Guard Against Accts.ptx

An experienced conductor, referring to
TWO destructive collisions resulting from
neglect Of orders in running 81. ,;al trains
made the following suggestion:
In cases whero heavy excursion trains
are being run. particularly when run us
specials, the best safeguard would be for
'he company TO put competent man In
charge of the train as conductor. having
hothing to do with ticket collections.
If there had been conductor on
those excursion trains who had nothing to
90 put ride in the baggage ear, or. better.
sun. on the engine. and attend strictly to
the movement Of his train, those accidents
would have been avoided"
AS result Of reading this suggestion,
the management Of The Baltimore and Ohio
mas issued the following order.
IN view Of the coming inaugural. WI, n
we VIII have a very large passenger tusi-
ness ] deem II essential that the trains
should be fully manned You are hereby
authorized to put on an extra man on nj
these extra trains, who Will take the
tickets, leaving the regular conductor to
give mis- fun time to the running OF the
train. This not only applies to the in
auguration trains. but to all excursion
trains in the future"
Tho precaution seems ominently wise. On
crowded excursion train the conductor
is so harassed by the work OF collecting
tickets, and answering inquiries and main
tanning the peace that he can not properly
keep the run of meeting points and spe-
cial orders. The employment OF ticket
collector on such occasions will leave 10
excuse for forgetfulness Of orders by the
man whose sole business will be the safe
movement of tho train

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Oct. S.-Romance
and sensation have crowded one another
closely in the trial of the suit of Mrs.
Mary r. Crandall against Mrs Clara
Thompson Crandall. The plaintiff in the
suit. which was decided to-day, prayed
.or $500 damages from her successor to
the affections and protection of E. Z.
Crandall. Mrs. Crandall No. l charged
that she had been injured to that amount
by the alienat tion of her former husband s
love. The court did not take that view of
the case and the plaintiff was nonsuited.
Some interesting features were devel-
oped in the course of the court proceed
lngs yesterday, not the least of which
were the love letters of the plaintiff to
Joseph E. Gross. a private detective, the
letters having been written alter the suit
had been filed.
Learning of the trouble between the
plaintiff and her husband, Gross wormed
himself into the confidence of Mrs. Mary
r. Crandall in 1894, and was engaged to
hound Mr.. CrandaIl to obtain evidence
against the defendant, then Mrs. Clara
Thompson. Mrs. Crandall evidently soon
lost her heart, or the remnants of that
shattered organ, to her crafty EN- ploye,
and wrote to him the spicy letters pro-
duced in evidence yesterday.
Recently Gross, always with an eye to
the main chance, sold those interested
epistles to the successful rival OF his en-
ployer.
Gross has been singularly concerned in
other divorce cases and in no instance did
he fail to work both sides to his own gain.
The last escapade of Gross was at Sacra-
mento. He obtained place as ianitor in
the Capitol through Captain Cross. He is
said to have sold out his salary warrants
in advance and come 10 this city. The &C.
currence was the subject OF considerable
newspaper comment
Mrs. Crandall No. l procured divorce
from her husband in Cincinnati on April
%, 1894. On the 7th of May following the
present suit was instituted and On Decem-
ber 4. 1895, Cranoall mai lried Mrs. Thomp-
son, the defendant The latter is decId-
edly handsome woman and is worth in
her own right about 100000. The story
OF the romance in the case is as follows:
Twentyseven years ago Mr.. CrandalI
was poor apprentice in the great o. 'Brien
dry-goods store in st. Louis. He met his
elm pioyel's granddaughter and they fell
in love. The wealthy old man objected

da went TO South America.
Years later the lovers met again in Los
Angeles. He was married and she was

was renewed the trial has disclosed. The
woman secured divorce from Thompson
by giving him, it is said, $50, 600.
