Foreclosure Gases.

Additional findings OF fact and conclu-
SION of law were yesterday filed in the
district court i'm the Utah Central fore
closure cases at the request of Joseph
Goddard ct al, intervenors.
In the findings of fact it is stated that
Goddard and others sod and delivered
company to the amount of SS65o.33 and
that the same is unpaid. The court also
finds that certain moneys derived from
the sale of receivers certificates eX-
pended for the betterment of the road by
the receivers was justified and necessary
and was such an expenditure as II make
it proper to require the mortgages to
pay it back and that under the evidence
in the case the interYenerS should mot be
held to have lost their rights because tire
claims accrued more than six months be-
fore suit was brought or the receivers aD-
pointed. and that the judgments IN favor
of Goddard ct al. should be paid out of
the proceeds of the sale in the order indi-

WONDERFUL IF TRUE.
a System For Telegraphing From
Moving Train

a System For Telegraphing From
Moving Train.
Chicago. Aug. 2s.-George V. Trott,
a former telegrapher, has devised a
system of telegraphing from a moving
train, which viii shortly be given a
practical test by the Pennsylvania
road. BY his system Trott claims
every srain on the line will be in con-
slant communication with the station
ahead or, if desired. with the train
dispatcher. The device used is an
adaptation of the third rail of the ele
waited railways. Two insulated metal
lie tracks are laid between the parallel
to the traction rails. On these rails
runs a trolley mechanism hitched unt
der the tender The contact of the
wheels with the rails COMPLETES the
circuit and insulated wires conduct the
current into the engine cab and, by
means of the bell-cord, to any part of
the train where the telegraph instru-
ment is located.
