This is the nrst rig. that mas been
struck on the Broadway crossing,
but seldom u day passes but
runaWays ur other accidents are
imminent on account Of that crossing,
and there is also considerable delay
by reason of the crossing being
blocked, or frightened teams refusing
to go past locomotives standing in
close proximity to the crossing.
Monday afternoon an engine stood
at The water tank taking water. A
farmer, whose name we did not
learn, with two women in his wagon
attempted to cross in front of the
engine. His tear became frightened
and started off at a terrible pace. 1t
took him some time to regain con.

witnessed it expected to see some
serious accident to the occupants OF

CHINESE MERIT SYSTEM.

Considerable time is given by the Chi
nese to keeping account of the merits
and dement's credited to them, according
to their conduct. If a man, for example.
loans an umbrella, picks up a grain of
rice, or frees a bird from Imprisonment,
he is entitled to one merit. If he gives
a coffin to a bereaved family he may
add 80 merits to his list. It Is not SO
meritorious to pay the debts of oue's
father, but he who renders this filial SER
vice may count 10 merits to his credit.
1t is worth so merits to save. a child's
life; but there are two other specially
good works, each Of which entities the
person performing them to 100 of these
good-merit marks. One is to publish a
good book, and the other is to marry,
after one has become rich, an unattract-
i've girl, whom he had promised to wed
before he had acquired wealth.
One of the minor sins is to dig an in
sect out of it's u nest in winter. This
~unkindness is punished by one dement,.
1t is not at all neat to Blot a book, ard
this carelessness is punishable WITH R1a
dement's. The same penalty attaches
to the offense of drunkenness. In some
parts it is considered just as wicked to
eat beef as to kill a child, and 100 demer-
its are recorded in each case.
