New York's Grade Crossing Reform
From the ALBANY Argus

Another step in the direction Of abolish
ing grade crossings has been taken in the
signing of the bill prepared by the rail-
road commission and passed by the late
legislature. The reform is still in its in
fancy. little having as yet been accom-
plshed in comparison with all that remains
to be done. 1t is gratifying to note, how
ever, the constant if gradual advance be-
ing made. The time will come, in the not
remote future, when that relic of an earlier
time. the grade crossing, will no longer i'm
peril life and limb, and when that time
does come the mOrtuary statistician will
have his labors materially reduced.

remembered that WeibeI is the young

less bicycle from J. J. Taylor few

Patterson and Wallace represented
the defendant and the district attorney
the state. There was no outside pro-

against the boy. The jury was about
one minute In finding the prisoner
guilty, and gave him the highest SEN
tence possible, two years in the peni-
Tertiary.
AS soon as the verdict was read by
the court, the attorneys for the defend
ant presented to the court q petition
for the young fellows pardon. The
chances are good for the prisoner to
get out inside of thirty days.

men lost their positions under just such
circumstances:
'There is very general regret in this
city that Conductor Sperry and Brake

censure. These employees are known
to be faithful, competent, and efficient,
