SHORT Line
Has All Sorts of mlshaps and De-
lays These Days.
Landslldes Occur All Along the
Line-Tralns Very Late.

a great many delays and worries as
well as danger are experienced in
travelling on the Short Line railroad
these days. The trainmen are kept
busy figuring how to arrive at their
destination and it is always an uncer-
tainty as to whether the train will
get through at all or not. The propo-
sition which confronts them is the
large number OF land slides along the
line. 1t looks like all terra frma
might come down on that road before
the winter is over.
The passenger train due here about
so'clock last night did not arrive un.
til almost O'Clock this morning, or in
other words 1t was nearly thirteen
hours late. Going out yesterday af-
ternoon it was delayed by land slides
at Lumberport and Folsom and was
several hours late getting into New
Martinsville. On the return here. II
came to standstill at Hepzabah on
account Of slide and small wreck, a
tank having gotten Off the track
there, while crew was engaged in re.
moving the slide. 1t hung up there
until nearly ! O'Clock. There was a
delay Of an hour at Adamston also
caused by a blockade of freight trains.
The train remained here until 1890
o'clock and there appeared but little
disposition then to start out and the
trafilc was very light.

DANGEROUS
Triple "Dead Mans Curve" of
Street Car Tracks:
Reported That Cars Would be Run
In Opposite Direction.

Ihere fs.a dangerous curve of the
track on the street railroad in the
East End over which it is very difi-
cult for moterman to guide his street
car in icy weather. The place refer
red to is on East Pike street Just be.
yond the Elk creek bridge, by the
Catholic church. There is a triple
curve there, and the grade is rather
steep. The street cars run the down.
hill way. When the weather is cold
and there is ice on the ground the mo.
'torman experiences the utmost diff
Guilty In controlling his car while 1t de-
scends the hill. Even IL the brake is
securely tiehteneds the icy rails cause
the locked wheels to slide along. The
curves are SO sharp that the spout OF
the sand box hangs away over from
the rail. The street car motormep
have to be very careful in making the
approach to this dead mans curve
for If it should happen that the car
would start to sliding and get beyond
the motorman's control, it would
certainly jump the rail- at the second
sharp curve and dash headlong into.
the Elk creek, which flows at the bot
tom of the hill. 1t has been said that
the street car company had the matter
under consideration of changing the
course of the cars that run on the
inner loop and Adamston tracks, and
running them in the opposite direc-
tion. However the, motormen use
extreme care and precaution while
making this piece of track, and so
far, no bad accidents have happened
there.
