THE NEW STATION.
ADaconda's Handsome New Railroad
Depot Attracts Attention.

Yesterday the new depot building of
the B., A. & F. railway became avail
able for the first time. The building is
situated just off West Commercial ave-
nue. and about 300 yards east of the
old station. 1t is built of brick and is
two stories in height. A handsome
tower surmounts the building. 1t has
been in course of construction for many
months, and some delay in it's erection
has been experienced through the failure
of material to arrive. A detailed de-
scription of the building was published
in the Standard some months ago. The
station is without doubt the handsom-
est and most convenient railway build
ing in the state.
The various officers of the company
yesterday transferred their books and
furniture from the old depot. and at 3
o'clock the first train departed from the
new station. The old depot will be
used as freight office.

A Parliamentary Question.

To the Editor of the Standard:
To settle dispute please answer the
following and cite authority: If an
amendment to a motion carries and the
original motion is lost. does it not car
ry the amendment with it? In other
words. no progress has been made in
the business; it stands just where they

If the original motion is lost all
amendments that may have been tackled
onto it go down with lit. of course.
Reed in his parliamentary Rules
does not cover the point specifically,
doubtless because it is SO perfectly OBJ
vious: but in his classification and or
der of motions in rule 200, pages 144
and 145. there is abundant authority for
so deciding
