TRAIN INSPECTION.
its Probable Resumption in This City by
the eoston and Albany.

Railroads are discussing the pros
poets of the establishment Of the
train inspectors on the Boston & Al
bany railroad. It is said unoAicially
that the management of the road in
tends to put on a force in this city
whose duty it will be to inspect all
trains running into Worcester on that
line.
Ever since the accident at GAINESVILLE
last Thursday, when the S.35 train out
of Worcester narrowly escaped figuring
in a frightful accident, the subject of
train inspectors on the Boston and Al
bany has been freely discussed. The
GAINESVILLE accident happened when the
train was speeding along at 40 miles an
hour. Then the front axle Of the great
driving wheel snapped and the driving
rod was driven up through the boiler.
The driving bar was also shattered and
the engine badly damaged. The latter
was derailed on account OF the snap
ping of the bar and but for the prompt
and decisive action of Engineer Frank
Barnard, a serious wreck would have
resulted.
1t was then alleged that the safety
of the passengers travelling on that
road were subject to unnecessary dan
ger by not having a system of train
inspection. Had that train been on the
down grade at Charlton at the time of
breaking of the driving wheel axle,
probably no action of the engineer
could have prevented serious results.
The Boston & Albany has system Of
train inspection at the terminals but
not in this city. Years ago they had
train inspectors on their road here, but
about four years ago decided to get
along without the usual inspection Of
every train. The other roads running
into Worcester all have this inspection.
AT the time of giving up the local in
spection, the Boston & Albany put on
the paper wheels, automatic air brakes
and other Improvements which greatly
decreased the danger Of accident. But
the dropping Of the local train inspec-
tors, in the opinion Of many, more than
counterbalanced the improvements in
question.
Since the GAINESVILLE accident the
matter has been brought to the atten-
ton Of the proper officials, and 1t is
stated on good authority that some ac-
ton viii be taken soon and the merry
whang Of the hammers will again be
heard testing the wheels Of the b. & A.
passenger cars arriving in this city.

A NEW YORK CENTRAL INNovA
TION.

George H. Daniels, of the New York
Central & Hudson River Railroad has
made an announcement which is of a
rather startling nature, but it is one
which ought to please the patrons of
that great system, and particularly
those who travel on mileage books. The
circular reads as follows:
Mileage books, good for 500 miles and
1000 miles travel, are now on sale at
all stations on the New York Central
divisions and branches) at the rate of
$40 and 500 respectively.
These tickets are good until used, and
are available for passage on the main
line of the New York Central, and of
all its branches and divisions, including
the Harlem, Putnam, Rome, Water
town & Ogdensburg, Carthage & Adir-
ondack, Geneva & Lyons and the Adir-
Ondack (Utica to MontreaD divisions
Mileage books will be issued in the
name of the head of a family or firm.
and will be available for the use Of any
member Of such family or for any
traveller for a firm, provided the name
of such member or traveller is written
IN the book by the agent selling It. in
the place designated. They will be hon
ored for transportation by the conduc-
tors Of all trains, including limited
trains, but only to the end Of the RIM
of each conductor
II the holder of such ticket desires to
ride beyond the run Of a conductor, or
on a night train, or to a point on a
branch line, he should present his mile
age ticket to the ticket agent.
Who will detach the proper mile
age and issue a mileage exchange tick
ct, on which baggage will be checked
to any station on the New York Central
or any Of its branch lines, thus avoid
ing the necessity Of being disturbed
after retiring. or of rechecking bag
gage.--From the Pittsburg Post, Aug.
q. 1898.

MARKET NOTES.

Sentiment respecting industrials and
specialties continues bullish, and when
long stocks recently sold find resting
place, it is predicted that there will be
a renewed advance.
Flower & co. have not given up their

this year.

There is talk of a pool in Federal
Steel and that it is the expectation of
people connected with this property,
that it will sell in the near future as
high as it has sold at any time. A COM
bination is said to have been made up
to an amount in excess of 10000 shares
which has begun it's operations around
the present level.

A NEW COMMISSION.
Bill Now Before Legislature viii Make a
Big Change in Tuberculosis Law.


Big Change in tuberculosis Law.
A bill to abolish the present state
cattle commission has just been re-
ported back by the Senate commission
on agriculture to the general court,
and if it is passed in its present form
the bill will provide for the appoint
ment of new commission to consist
of three members instead of five as at
present, and this new commission will
have full power to enforce the law re-
garding tuberculosis. The new bill also
provides that where a healthy COW is
killed. by order Of the commission, the
full value of the COW up to maxi
mum of $40 shall be paid to the owner.
The commission may establish quar-
antine and make all necessary tests.
The maximum sum to be paid under
the old bill was $50.
Until 1894, the commission consisted
of three members, but in that year
the number was increased to five, and
Leander f. Herrick of this city was
appointed. Mr.. Herrick is inclined to
think that the new bill will pass and
become law, although he has had no
intimation whether or no he will be
retained upon the commission.

(Ioward, Crosby & Co.'S Boston Letter.
Cables from Liverpool were steadier
than expected, being up Esd. This and
the light Argentine shipments for the
week gave wheat good start this morn
ing. The first prices were &c. higher.
Crop news was divided, as rain has APP
peared in several sections of the wheat
belt, and seasonable temperatures pre-
vail over much of it, But to offset this,
was cold weather and some snow in the
spring wheat belt.
Argentine shipments for the week were
1,2S0,0O0 bushels, as compared with
2,432, 900 the week before, which was con
sidered rather significant. The visible
supply next week will probably show
a decrease of 100000 bushels, and this
was looked upon as bearish and helped
the selling. Shows crop report summary
regarding wheat was: This year the
conditional loss is nearly 20 points, and
on that basis the acreage will be re-
duced 100000 acres" This would give a
winter wheat crop Of about 100000 900
bushels, as against 1872, 0000 600 a year ago.

May into July, and the Chicago crowd
