THE RAILROADS.


The telephone has superseded the tel
egraph to q certain extent on the Santa
Fe railroad system. The railroad COM
pany now has in operation on its Chi
caso, eastern and middle divisions q
private telephone system connecting q
largc number OF the. block signal sta
lions, and the passage OF trains in and
out OF the various blocks now Is sched-
uled from operator to operator by tele-
phone instead of by telegraph, as here
toforc. However, the management Of
the road believe In the telephone ns a
means Of communication In railroad
work; onlylto limited extent. Stimuli
famous with the establishment OF the
system an order was issued prohibiting
absolutely the use OF the telephone for
the transmission OF train orders. Tho
question of substituting the telephone
for the telegraph In railroad work ia
one that now Is being earnestly consid-
cred by railway managers. The Penn
sylvania officials have gone so far as
to supersede the telegraph on a portion
OF the system with the telephone, and
80 far the experiment Is said 10 be a
success. 1t IS believed'by some mana
gers thrtHthe danger OF mistakes can
be greatly lesscned by tho use OF the
telephone.ag The only difficulty TO be
considered In the matter Is the fire.
Quency with which the average tele-
phone getsy''out OF order If interest
In the telephone as successor to the
telegraph continues, the Santa 70
probahlywi decide upon n more ex-
tended test. ~

The reasons for making the change

dates for the Columbus tohlo) fair are
in the Jfrs. week Of September, and
there being number OF exhibitors and
owners OF fast horses anxious to come
to Wheeling after the Columbus show
1t was thought advisable TO make the
dates conform with their desires. Last
year the Columbus exposition WINS held
the same week as the West Virginia
Fair. and the effect was felt in several
quarters. This year the circuit has
been formed and Wheeling's in It for

There was minority. two or thraa
strong. in the committee that favored
nominating the candidate for criminal
judge in the convention. and not at the
primary, but the result was ucquiesced
In by all the committeeman. and the
meeting went on record as one OF the
most harmonious In the history Of the
Ohio county Republican organization.
The action OF the committee In fixing
the date OF the county convention for
September l, and delegating to it the
choosing of the senatorial and judicial
conferees, makes 1t assured that these
conventions will come rather late this
year-aftcr September /, Of course.

would soon call the senatorial convpn
