The New York Central Company
Recent Tunnel Disaster.

Albany, n. Y, Feb. 1O.-The state
board of railroad commissioners on
Friday handed down its decision re-
garding the recent disaster in the New
York Central railroad tunnel in New
York city. The decision censures the
company for allowing an inexperi-
enced engineer to run train through
the tunnel and recommends that at
some time in the future. the roof be
taken off the tunnel, using bridges at
intersecting streets. However, in this
connection it says that such a change
would be intolerable unless electricity
is substituted as the motive power for
trains and recommends legislation to
allow such change.
The commission finds that the COM
pany "has been negligent, derelict and
unprogressive in failing to take meas
ures to increase it's terminal facili-
ties,' and that it has also been negli-
gent in "failing to examine more
closely into the qualifications of new
engineers"
The commission points to the inter-
esting fact that in 1901 there were
177,45O trains moved through the tun-
mel, an average of over 1856 per day.
Therefore. the commission says, the
B. & O. tunnel at Baltimore and the
Liverpool tunnel under the river Mer-
sey bear no comparison to the New
York Central tunnel in respect to
traffic.
New York. Feb. 1o.-Eightactions for
damages, amounting in the aggregate
! to $1s5,000 for injuries received in the
wreck in the New York Central rail-
road tunnel in this city on. January 8,
were commenced in the supreme court
at White Plains Friday.

A learned scientist has recently
shown how the velocity of the wind
can be reckoned by noting the musical
pitch of the sound given out when the
wind blows across a stretched wire.
The principal elements on which the
calculation is based are the diameter
of the wire and the temperature Of the
air. The length of the wire is I'm
material, SO long as it is not changed.
Every variation in the winds velocity
is faithfully represented by the rising
or falling Of the pitch Of the note sung
by the wire.

COUNTRY GLIB

A movement is on foot in Montpe-
lier which has already received liberal
encouragement to form a Country
Club that shall own grounds and
buildings equal to any in the State.
An option has been secured on the old
fair ground farm of 100 acres, now
owned by Samuel Smith, on which it
is proposed to erect a modern club
house. lay out an eighteen hole golf
link, a base ball diamond, tennis
courts, etc. 1t is proposed TO form
corporation of fifty shares at 800 each,
nearly all of which have already been
subscribed
The gentlemen having this project
in charge have already secured the
services of George Low, with the
Dyker Meadow club of Brooklyn, N.
Y, who is in the front rank of ex.
perts i'll this country to lay out the
links. Mr.. Low was in Montpelier
this week and pronounced the grounds
among the finest he had ever laid out
This beautiful plateau on which it
is proposed to erect the club house
and lay out the golf course is easy of
access, and is, indeed, beautiful for
situation. The view in any direc-
ton is charming Suburban trains on
the Montpelier q Wells River railroad
will leave passengers in close proXim-
ity to the grounds and foot bridge
will doubtless be swung across the
Winooski at this point to accommodate
those travelling on the electrics.
The young men who have this affair
in charge have received nothing but
encouragement from those to whom
they have applied to take shares.
They are men of excellent business
ability and the project is sure to go
through. Other large towns and cities
in the State have institutions of this
kind which are source of pride and
pleasure to all connected with them
1t is gratifying to state the unques-
