Failed in His putx.

Commissioner Wight, who has immediate
charge Of the fire and police departments.
has reached the conclusion, after hearing
the statements Of all concerned, that Po-
lfceman Kenny did not properly perform
his duty at the Riley fire in South Wash
ington last week. 1t will be recalled that
Mr. Javins was accused by the firemen
OF driving over their hose. and that the
policeman refused to make an arrest, on
the ground, as he stated, he did not wit
ness the commission of the offense. and,
therefore. was not authorized to interfere;
also that he afterward made the arrest
without warrant
Mr.. Wight says: "This vascillating way
OF doing, probably had a tendency Of ex-
citing the crowd and increasing the trouble.
Oficers should understand exactly what
their duties are such occasions, and
should perform them fearlessly without
being influenced by what is said by the
crowd Of bystanders 1t should be espe-
cially understood by all officers that on the
occasion of fire the firemen are to be
abundantly protected in the discharge of
their Duties"

AUTOMATIC COUPLERs,
Discovery of Device Which is Said to
Be Perfect.

For the past fifteen years, but especially
since the adjournment of the conference
recently held in this city on the subject of
automatic couplers. between the repre-
sentatives of most of the leading railroad
compani MES throughout the United States
and the interstate commerce commission
the mechanical departments of the rail-
way companies have been searching for
an automatic coupler for air brakes, which
would comply with the law passed some
years ago by Congress.
The Southern Railway Company has, it
Is asserted. at last found device which
not only couples the cars, but uncouples
them with equal facility. This device is a
combination of air and steam couplers and
IS intended to couple automatically the
senger cars or the air hose on freight cars
Severe tests to which the device has been
subjected prove that thus far it is exactly
what 1t purports to be. One great adj
vantage which the coupler possesses is
that no one has to touch it. When the cars
come together the air signal and steam
hose all couple instantly and perfectly.
There is no screwing together by hand or
adjusting. There is no leak, and when 1t
Is desired to uncouple, the ordinary car
coupling being released. the cars pull apart
and the device is not strained in the least
1t Is expected that the adoption Of this
rev device will save the Southern Rail-
way Company an expense of many thous-
ands OF dollars per year. ithout attempt
ing to go into detailed explanation of it,
1t may be said that the attachment is fitted
underneath the car coupler, of whatever
make. AS the cars come together a tongue
on each attachment attaches the other q
spring Is forced open, two heads with
parallel surfaces, containing the orifices
leading to the air and steam pipes come
together and are held by a head and slot
under pressure of a stiff spring. perfect
adjustment is made, and the air, signal
and steam connections are completely
coupled. There are no complicated parts,
nothing to get out of order, nothing to
wear and no strain on any part to cause
. break.
The merits of the coupler are that 1t re-
quires no attention from trainmen, saves
time in coupling. removes an element Of
danger from the work of the employees. and
last, most important of all, in an eco
nomic sense, saves money by practically
dispensing with the use of hose If the
cars break apart the air uncouples with
out breaking any part of the attachment
II, for any reason, the air couples and
the cars do not, the air device suffers moth
ing when the cars pull apart, and it will
couple again when the cars come together.
Placed with mechanical precision under
the car coupler, the impact is borne by the
buffers above, and the air attachment be-
low gets only sufficient contact to make a
coupling.

unsess the national homer can only be main

Referring to tho added business to rail-

pal lines running into Washington said to q
Star reporter:
ITO the Southern railroad war would
mean stimulated tradlc, and the increased
business has already been felt. Such sys-
TENS as the Southern railway, the Louis
Vile and Nashville, the Illinois Central and
the Plant system would probably be called
OH to move great quantities of munitions
OF war and coal. as well as troops. The
Central OF Georgia and the Atlantic Coast
Line would play important parts and the
Seaboard Air Line would probably come
In for q share.
War would stimulate the movement Of
all supplies and products. The people will
continue to be consumers, while the army
and navy will become abnormal consumers,
ana about everything that is consumed and
carried now would be continued to be con-
stunned and carried in case of war and GER
tain items would show a very large in
crease in these particulars.
During the war between the states the
railroads of the country enjoyed a pros
perity they had never dreamed of before
and that was an internal war, where our
lives and property were often in danger of
destruction. In war with Spain there
would be no fear of the paralysis OF
great internal lines Of traffice and travel
as there was then. The increase of freight
and passenger traffice would probably be
enormous, and the movement from the
west to the seacoast would doubtless be
unprecedented, while the profits of the road
would be swelled correspondingly."
