LESS DANGER TO EMPLOYEES.
Texas Commission Declares Double
Headers Reduce Hazard.


Headers Reduce Hazard.
Austin. Tex. May 1S-The railroad
commission has Issued its formal order
refusing the application Of railway m
plOyeS to prohibit h operation Of dou-
b1e-header trains on Texas railroads.
The order is a pronounced victory for
the railroad companies. It says:
Having received a number Of petit
tons from railroad conductors. engi-
neers and hremen requesting an invest
igation of risk Of injuries to employees
engaged in the operation OF trains pro-
PEELED by two or more locomotives, the
commission gave notice of q hearing on
that question, and, having heard and
considered the evidence in the case and
having read and considered the written
arguments of counsel in favor of and
against the prayer of the petitioners, it
is the unanimous opinion OF this COM
mission that the evidence o not show
that the use of more than one engine to
propel a train Of cars causes an unrea-
sonable degree of hazard to the en-
ployes on them
I'VE also find from evidencethat there
is no more and perhaps less danger to
such employees on trains propelled by
more thar one locomotive than on trains
propelled by a single locomotive.
also find from evidence that
there is a decided economy in
transportation in many cases in the use
of more than one engine on a train of
cars. and that the facilities Of trans
p~orIati0n are thereby greatly improved
and unless some injury to the public
should result from q use Of more than
one engine on a train of cars we be
Heve it would be unWise for this COM
mission to assume to control the man
agement of rains Of cars The applica-
ton of the petitioners IS not granted

THE D TRIAL.
Now Looks Like the Defendant Would
Be Acquitted.

CIV AOOkS Like the Ou1o
Be Acquitted
Emporia, May 1S.-It is probable that
the crisis Of the Bradley case occurred
when John Digman was put on the
stand He was at a lance in January
before the murder in July. Pearl Brand
ley, Frank Rfnard and Harry BrandIey
were also there. Rinard and Pearl were
sitting in a window when Dfgman re-
marked to young Brandley that the two
in the window appeared to be having
quite a conversation. Brandley replied,
III fix it all right" and walked away.
On cross examination it was shown that
was uOOr manager and was
speaking Of his duties as such. The
state also attempted to prove by Fred
Lewis hat threats were made at the
dance but failed.
At the close OF Digman'S testimony
the defendants attorney moved to
strike out al the testimony, on the
ground hat it did not prove nor tend
to prove n threat of Brandley against
R1nard and that 1t had occurred So
months before the murder. A long argu-
ment followed and the judge sustained
the motion.
The DEFENDANTS lawyers made a mo-
ton to strike out all testimony bearing
on he friendly relations of Miss Brand
ley and Frank Rinard It resulted in
some argument, but the court sus-
tanned the objection This action takes
away from the jury all evidence of mo-
tive, and coupled with the courts de-
ciSiOn regarding Digman's testimony it
leaves the state very little to base its
case on.
The states most dramatic evidence
was that given by the last witness. W.
H DOSier was put on the stand and
when asked to relate a certain converse
ton between him and Harry Brandley,
he said. H came to me to sign an
affidavit for change OF venue and said
that he wanted TO be tried by twelve
men. I said b If his father had done
what he ought to have done he Harry
never WOu have been suspected; that
when two other murders occurred in the
ne~ighbOrhOod his father had offered a
reward. but when a man was killed at
his own house he had ordered the hands
out to work the next day. Harry Their
said that if his father had lone what
he ought to have done, b ID dog
would have been left lying in the hog
lot where they found him" A motion
made by the defense to strike out this
answer was overruled-
Frank Calvert was the first witness
for the defense and testified to hearing
one Of the gates on the Brandley place
noisily opened about 1890 in the night
of the murder and that he then heard
the sound Of a retreating horse. He
testified that It was more or less COM
mon in that community to carry re-
volveTs and named a number who did
He said that Rfnard and Harry were
/ apparently friends.

1.-THE Wonders of Thessaly," and was
followed by fourteen moving picture
scenes projected by the Depue chrono-
matograph AT last nights lecture Mr..
Holmes showed something more than
the wonders of Thessaly, which were
indeed most wonderful. He showed
that he himself possessed a marvellous
power of Viewpoint selection, and it
was this appreciation of the point of
view that made the scenes portrayed
not only greatly realistic, but brought
out in a very original manner those de-
tails of the subject which in many in
stances We're by themselves enough to-
fasclnate and charm the beholder. The
"Olympian Games" We're enough to
make the heart of any American thrill.
1t was at the conclusion of these games
in 1896 that a member of the Boston
Athletic club received the first prize IN
one of the running contests, and Gar
rick of Princeton beat the Greeks in
their own game Of throwing the discus.
And last evening Mr.. Holmes showed
his audience and described in most
happy way these athletic sons OF Amer
lea receiving their awards from the
hands of no less a parsonage than the
King of Greece himself. The vast i'm
mensity of the audience at these games
was almost incomprehensible there be-
ing 10000 people massed along tiers of
solid marble. The "Monasteries in the
Clouds" were as curious to see as was
the approach to them picturesque,
weird and almost inaccessible. The
moving picture. scenes were also OF con-
siderable interest, the one portraying
the Ninth United States infantry in ac-
ton in Manila being exceptionally well
reproduced. The lecture itself was de-
livered in that comprehensive and con-
else style for which Mr.. Holmes has
become so famous. Those who missed
the lecture last evening missed a rare
treat
