|NSTRUCTING THE
RAILROAD MEN

Lexington, Ky, March ia new idea
has been put into operation here by the
Cincinnati Southern railway for con-
structing and examining trainmen on the
meaning of train rules as applied to the
various pieces of apparatus which form
SO important part in the successful op-
Grafton of the modern railroad. 1t is
called the Murphy method" taking it's
name from the originator, w j. Murphy
of this city, superintendent of the Gin
cinnati Southern railway. Mr.. Murphy
has equipped the examining room at Lex
incton with an electric stereopticon and
a large number of lantern slides showing
the signals track and apparatus of all
kinds used on the road. By projecting
these views on larger canvas. the train
men are enabled to see the road equip
ment as it would appear to them in the
daily routine of working. 1t has worked
so successfully in examining the men on
the Cincinnati Southern that it is likely
to be adopted by every railway in the
country. W. Murphy, the originator,
has been in the railroad business all of
his life and was for a number of years
general superintendent of the Erie road
at Jersey City

A CONFLICT CAN
NOT BE AVOIDED

Havana, March 15.-The reported
resignation of Civil Governor Mora is un-
true. A certain nervous tension and un-
easy restlessness especially during the
evening is noticeable in the vicinity of
central park where the men congregate
and talk politics. The police do not al
low gropus to assemble and are disper-
sing them. Another Gomez manifeSta-
ton has ben planned for this afternoon
and it is said that the Cuban officers will
organize a manifestation in favor of the
Cuban military assembly which, if it
takes place, will probably lead to a clash
between the opposing factions. In fact
some people declare such conflict cam
not be averted.

THE ASSEMBLY
MAY BE DISSOLVED

Chicago, March ia special to the
Times Herald from Washington says:
Discretionary authority has been given
to Maj. Gen. Brooke governor general of
Cuba, to dissolve the Cuban assembly
From the tone of Gen. Brooke's dis
patches, officials expect that he will i'm
mediately avail himself of the authority
invested in him. Such action will be the
first interference of the government of
the United States with persons styling
themselves the representatives of the
Cuban people and if it occurs it will be
entirely due to the illegal and unjustifi-
able acts of those persons. Furthermore
Gen. Brooke will recognize Gen. Gomez
as the representative of the Cuban people
until such time as the national assembly
of Cuba shall be organized. He will be
consulted on all points relative to the
welfare of Cuba and Gen. Brooke will
continue to show him the Difference due
his position as the recognized leader of
the Cubans.

claims, issue proSpectuScs of water

have organized companies, their scheme
being to sell their so-called rights to the
public. No one should buy anything until
perfectly satisfied. There will be any
