A Mexican laborer will carry 100 pounds

He carries 4 can of oysters on his head,

SPIRIT or JEFFERSON.
4 Proaressfre lfore.

There has been much discussion with
in the last few years in railroad cir
cles concerning the handling of excur-
sion and other trains carrying large mum
bers of passengers. A.number of times
accidents have happened to these heavily
loaded trains and, almost invariably. in
vestigation developed the fact that the
conductor was so busy taking tickets that
he did not have the time to pay the prop
er attention to running the train.
The receivers of the B. & o. Railroad
have been investigating this matter for
some time and have decided that hereafter
whenever there are excursion trains on
the road, that there shall be two conduc-
tors to each train. 1t will be the duty OF
one of these conductors to attend the
passengers and collect the tickets, while
the other will look after the running of
the train. General Manager Greene has
issued the following order TO general SUI
perintendents, effective February 3rd:
"In view of the coming inaugural,
when we will have very large passenger
business, deem it essential that the
trains should be fully manned. You are
hereby authorized to put on an extra man
on all these extra trains, who will take
the tickets, leaving the regular conductor
to give his full time to the running Of
the train
This not only applies to the iuaugu-
ration trains but to all excursion trains
in the future"
1t is believed by good railroad men
that this is the only proper solution of
handling large numbers of people expe.
ditiously and safely.
