sent to applicants informing them of
the time and place for examinations
and only those will be permitted to
take the examination who have been
formally notified, Some time may
elapse following tho examinations be-

seems that this policy is not to be fol-

FIRE DESTROYS LOCOMOTIVES

TWO B. & o. ENGINES AND THE
ROUNDHOUsE BURNED LAST
NIGHT.
Fire broke cut in the rcundhOuse OF
the B. & o. railroad, at the foot of
Stroud street, shortly before 10 O'Clock
last night and completely destroyed
the structure, together with two loco
motives.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
Ii was discovered by Joseph Peoples,
who sent i'm an alarm from box No. 62,
Sixth avenue and Duncan streets. The
flames originated i'm a small oil closet,
and as the building was saturated with
oil, it was only a few, moments before
the entire structure was in a blaze.
In the building were four engines
but two of them were run out of the
house before the fire reached them
Jacob Griner who succeeded in get
ting the two engines out, rushed into
the flames to try and save the two re-
manning, but the fire was so hot that
he was compelled to leave them 10 the
flames. The cars which were on the
siding near the engine house were
|scorched. The fire burned fercely
and for a while the heat was so intense
that it was almost impossible to gel
within square Of the burning build.
ing Some of the houses on Stroud
street were scorched, and a stream OF
water was turned on them to keep them
from catching fire.
The burned structure was about 2OC
feet long and 30 feet deep. The re-
Election OF the flames could be seen all
over the city The loss is about S11 600

London, Sept. 2S.-"Be sure to visit the

our train moved off for London
"Where is N?" we shouted All we
heard of the answer was. Hyde Park
One pleasant afternoon. therefore, we
started out and proceeded to stop an om-
nibus. Here, selecting the usual seat OF
an investigating committee, the one next
the driver, we tapped that fountain of
knowledge on the shoulder and asked:
"Can you tell us where to find the dog
cemetery?"
The jaws Of John dropped. Perhaps we
had asked him the only question about
London that he could not answer. and he
felt his professional reputation to be at
stake.
The route ended at Hyde Park, opposite
the Duke Of Welingtons house, and near
the statue presented TO that hero by the
women of England. Here the driver
cheerfully swinging into line for the re-
turn trip, affably accepted a slx-penny
tip, and babe US good afternoon"
We did not meet any one crossing the
park, and SO plodded along under the hot
sun, ignoring all shady paths, as we had

A wild Ride neneoth n Traip.

On every standard gauge passengeH
coach there are four places on the truckA
where man can ride. Crawl over the
axle and you VIII find yourself in a bod
like space About six or eight inches
above the ties Is a cross formed by two
one-lnch iron rods A man can sit on this
cross, facing the axle, with his feet on the
rod that he sits on that runs towards the
axle. Some professionals use a cleated
board to make the seat more comfortable
The rods that control the brakes run par
allel with the shoulders and do TO hold ON
by. The back rests against the frameworla
OF the truck The head is near or agalnsG
the floor of the car. Unless looked for, ~
man on the rods can hardly be seen, even
In the day time.

from dusk to dark when the whistle blew.
the wheels turned, and the ties began TO
slip backwards slowly, then fast and
faster till there was only yellow streal1
under me. The quivering of the rods made
the muscles of my legs trembe. Thrills
shot up my back We struck a curve. Al
shower of sparks fell from the wheels as
the brakes were set. Tie car swayed

me. / had heard stories of men who fell

/ could not but see that, being
neither sleepy nor drunk, / was I'm no real
danger, the close quarters and the impos-
sibllity Of changing them till the train
stopped made me feel piifully helpless.
But the whizzing, dusty air, the grand
swaying racket and roar, varied as we

plunged across the open, had an intoxicat-
ing effect At times ! shouted and sung
like a maniac. ! could understand better
snatch of song had once heard:
Oh do not be afraid
When you're going down the grade.
Put your faith right In the Lord,
Keep your seat upon the board
Whensyou ride the little rods beneath thu
car.
About the third or fourth stop a shack
came nouchiug along and spotted me with
his lantern The conductor was about Ia
