MILFORD L. Smith, supervisor OF
signals on the Maryland division of
the p, W. l. B. railroad. is busily
engaged in looking after the erection
of new safety appliances along the COM
pany's lines. A new machine for inter
locking the switches is being placed at
tho long bridge draw over the Potomac
River, where new gauntlet protects
the cars. No train can get on the
bridge as it is being turned off nor can
q train reach the bridge, as it would
be thrown from the tracks to the
ground at a certain point before it
could reach the open space. Two trains
cannot go onto the single track on the
bridge from either end at the same time.
An electric bell system has been placed
at either end Of the bridge, as safe
guard.
A 2s-ever machine will shortly be
placed in position at Bowie, inter
locking tho junction tracks Of the
Pennsylvania Central and Baltimore &
Potomac lines. This will prevent col
lisions similar TO that which occurred
on Tuesday night between the trains
of the Delaware railroad and the Will
mington & Northern railroad near the
Delaware River pier.
An electric lock operated by the
operator. in the tower, has been placed
in position at Newport, and governs
passenger train sidings. The device
has been in operation for several days.

ment connected with the works fought
the fire with 10 streams of water. The

with frequent rfle-lilse explosions,
caused by the gases formed by the
combination OF chlorate of potash and
water. The entire works were threat

Man Who Died IN West Chester After
Drinking Wood Alcohol supposed to be
John sicConneii of This CITY.
Today week Coroner Trautmann of
West Chester, Pa, succeeded in partly
clearing up the mystery in connection
with the body which was delivered by
woman and colored boy at the Chester
County Hospital on Tuesday. The dead
man is said to be John Mcconnell, of
this city. The cause of the death has
been found to have been wood alcohol,
taken in mistake for the common
variety. The woman who took him to
West Chester and left him at the
hospital did so out OF sympathy and
drove away before she knew he was
dead, believing him to be simply un-
conscious.
The death Of the man took place

covered some time later in terrible

him to- the hospital at West Chester
for treatment. Mrs. Paige's. sister
volunteered to make the trip, the
colored boy accompanying her.
The name of John Mcconnell does
not appear in the directory and the
police authority know nothing about
the matter. They have received no
communication from the sChester

raE ADAMS TAX M0NsT.
Mandamus Proceedings WIN Probably be
ID Instituted by the city.

The proceeding under which the city
will attempt to secure the more than
IS, 600, which is its share Of the Adams
tax money. will probably be that of a
mandamus to compel the payment OF
the money. AT present it is not de-
termined who shah be the defendant
in such a proceeding, for although
City Treasurer Curry made demand
upon County Treasurer Rettew for the
money, he has not the money, and
cannot pay it. Mr.. Rettew hasn't it,
because Collectors Dicxey and Donahoe
have not paid it to him. They, it is
understood, arc directed by their
sureties not to pay out any more of
the money.
City Solicitor Conrad in speaking of
the matter Friday. said that the city
objected to the collectors making fish
of one and flesh of. another, the col
lcctors having paid tho county, and re-
fusing to pay tho city. He referred
also to the fact that threatened suits
and not actual suits have had the
effect of lettering the collectors from
paying the money. Should the man
damus be made against Mr.. Rcttew,
the collectors may also be included.
