Should Have Walled.

Burroughs had worked as a spare
man ever since the line was opened.
and, having been employed practically
every day, knew all the workings Of
the system and what safeguards were
to be observed. He should have made
his run to Warwick station, and there
have taken a switch and waited for the
inward bound car TO pass him. Why he
did not do so nobody will ever know.
He not only failed TO stop, but he ran
a quarter of a mile farther and down
into the deep cut, with its sharp curve,
opposite the Foster farm.
When he was on the centre OF this
curve, a little boy, who sat at the left
OF the motorman, and who had a. clear
view OF the small stretch of track be-
fore the car, sighted another car ap-
preaching. and cried out to Burroughs.
who made the same startling discovery
Just as the boy gave the alarm.

NO SERIOUS AFFAIR.
No Trouble Likely 60 Follow stopping
ofsea witch.

London, May 3, 6.0g p. m lit has been
learned BY q representative of the Asso-
oiatsd Press that United States Ambas-
sador Choate has asked Lord Salisbury
for explanations as to the alleged abuse
Of International rights In the case OF the
American ship Sec Witch which, accord
ing to the statement o. her com mmAnder,
Captain Howe, was boarded by the
British warship Wasp within the three
mile limit Of Portuguese territory In
East Africa.
ssThe Amarican ambassadors oommuni-
cation to the British Premier hardly
amounts to protest ana serious oowpli-
cations are not likely to ensue. The case,
as transmitted BY Secretary Hay 20 Lon
don, consists of the captains allegation
that while the Sea Witch was of Delae oa
Bay he signalled to the Wasp which was
patrolling, and the Wasp sent boat to
her. The captain OF ths Sea Witch oom
plains that the visit resem blsd a war-liks
boarding party and that his manifest
Was examined against his Will when

latter statement Is true . serious ofsnss
has been committed by the Wasp whi oh
will call for an ample apology from
Great Britain. But. 1t is pointed out that
the fact that the Sea Witch signallsd the
Wasp before the Wasp noticed her invests
the Sass with q curious uncertainty.
