Pete Young and Oscar. Mack were the
victims OF an explosion at Ruby last
week. The accident was due to careless
handling OF the giant powder used in
blasting. To thaw the powder they cut
one end out OF an empty powder can,
made holes with pick pointin the other
end, placed a pit lamp under the can, and
three sticks of powder on top of the can.
In about fifteen minutes the powder ex-
ploded iniuring both men quite seriously

chance for recovery. The injured men

Jos Ruunoe has secured patent on
what he calls a Take up-device,' for
lessening slack in the brake levers on
railway cars. This contrivance does away
with the check rod and key bolt and
thus saves the railroad company large
expense each year. This invention also
averts the danger which so often occurs
in case OF lost key bolt, when the brake
is rendered useless. There is no part
of this arrangement which can lose. unless
the device is broken, SO many runaways
would be done away with by tho use OF
Mr. Runnoe's invention. Another great
danger to life and limb is prevented. By
the merhod at present in use in order to
take up the slack in the levers which
work the brakes it is necessary for one
to crawl under the car, lie on his back,
and use both hands, thus placing him
self at the mercy of the car, if itstarts to
move, whereas this device can be oper-
ated instantly by either the hand or foot
from the side of the car The "Takeup-
device" fits under the car, one on each
truck. The patent was obtained through
Mum & Co. of New York. This patent
covers the United States and he expects
to secure Canada. Already MIR. Runnoe
has had several chances to sell his in
vention or let it out on royalty. The ex-
cellence of the device is plainly apparent
to any railroad man and there is no doubt
that its use will be adopted by the great
railway systems. Mr.. Runnoe is to be
congratulated by his many friends.
