THE NEW YORK CENTRAL AL
WAYS HAS THE BEST.

{ That the passenger equipment of the
New York Central & Hudson River
railroad has attained a degree of de-
velopment very nearly approaching
perfection is a fact that is universally
admitted. OF the many inventions of
safety appliances which have been in

served their purpose better, nor added
more to the comfort of the travelling
public. than the lighting of Us passen-
ger cars by Pintsch gas. This method
OF lighting produces a clear, white.
steady light. causing no shadows, and
also has the merits of softness and
comparatfve coolness. and. most i'm

The New York Central has recently
contracted with the Safety Car Heat

gas equipment for 250 more coaches,
making total of nearly 1900 passenger
coaches Of this line equipped with this

SOME BLOOD SPILLED.
TWO Unknowns Fight in the Freight YARD
at Union Depot Over Dispute.

Two unknown men fought yesterday
morning in the freight yard at Union
depot. The men appeared in the vi
cinity with a crowd of followers short
ly after 10 o'clock, and prepared for
battle. The dispute which ended in
fsticuffs was said to have arisen
through differences of opinion on the
merits of Lawler and Sweeney, who
settled their dispute in public the night
before. The shorter of the two men
was very aggressive, and insisted on
making a target of his opponents nose,
which resulted in the splitting of much
blood. The bruisers fought uninter-
rupted for is minutes, when some one
in the crowd spied officer Condy APP
preaching, and the bout was off, The
contestants and spectators vanished to-
ward East Worcester.
