There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and bv constantly falling to cure with
local treatment. pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be con-
stitutiOnal disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by f. J. Cheney IL

General Leaves the Income of Only 100000
to Harold.

The will of the late General Samuel Thomas of
Dobbs Ferry and this city. who died here on Janu-
ary IL was filed for probate in the Westchester
County Surrogate's Court at White Plains yester-
day The instrument was executed on July 90 1900
and names executors the widow, Ann Augusta

nav the income to General Thomas's son, Harold
Edgell Thomas a resident of Chicago, for his main
tenance and support. In making this provision in
his will General Thomas says:
Il make no further provision for my Harold
because his condition. mentally and physically, is
such that he is incapable OF managing his own
affairs"
The executors are directed to invest enough of the
residue of the estate 10 produce a net income of
$4,000 a year and to pay the income to his
widow during her life.

SCENES AT THE WRECK.
Most of the Wreckage Removed or
Burned Up.

At westfeld yesterday the evidences Of the
terrible collision were almost obliterated- The
two wrecking crews had labored all night the
great derricks hauling spIintered timbers
masses Of twisted iron and the trucks OF the
wrecked cars bodily off the track. The wood
and useless iron were cast to one side, when the
wood was consigned TO the flames Great roar
ing fires blazed merrily at the sides of the rail-
road tracks, fed by the wreckage. Early yester-
day morning the tracks were clear and trains
were running in both directions without delay.
Gangs of laborers were reballasting the road
bed and replacing with new ones the ties which
had been torn up by the ploughing of the cars. A
little crowd Of villagers stood on the top OF the
ernbankment watching operations and dis
cussing the accident which Will be the chief
theme of conversation in that town for months

eastbound tracks a few were industriously rak-
ing with sticks. expecting to turn up money,
trinkets or something available as souvenir
Others were carefully disturbing the mud at the
bottom of little brook by the side Of the
tracks with equally 1audable ambition.

IDLE HOUR IN DANGER.
w K. TanderhHs Country House
Said To Be Settling.

e.,,i,,e Long Island, Jan. 2S-It is said that
the great Idle Hour mansion of william n van
derbiIt at Oakdale. is in constant danger or
des+ruction Although the house, which was
built to replace the one destroyed by hre some
wears ago. had been supposed to be nnished'
large number of mechanics have for seVerai
weeks been employed on it. 1t was given out
that some alterations were in progress Out II
is now said that they have been engaged IN re-
pairing damage resulting from the setting Oh
the main building.
Like all this region of Long Island, the grouhu
under Idle Hour consists of sand. Idle Hour
with its e1 eat weight Of stone, steel and brick, IS
the only structure in this district OF great
weight While it spreads over great area, It's
base is small compared with the miles of SAND
surrounding il. Mechanics almost constantly
employed on the building say that apparently
the weight of the building is slowly but surely
driving out the sand beneath it. or else is slowly
compressing 1t. If the resulting setting was
even it would not be so bad, but one side is SAID
to he settling faster than the other. The result
is of course disastrous. Several times the slate
roof has cracked, and each crack has called for
extensive repairs.
The walls both inside and out, are said to
have cracked at times. and the damage has been
so extensive as to call for the spending or
large sum of money.
The most expensive item thus far has not
been from the repairs made to the main parts
of the structure but to the decorations. When
a wall cracks ii not only requires the repairs
to the WALL bat the whole decoration of the room
has to be redone. One of the cracks near the
roof is said to have been so extensive and the
strain so great that it parted the copper gut
ter not at a joint, but midway In the stretcn
literally tearing the particles of the metal apart
No information be obtained from the
s,nariptendent at Idle Hour, but different me-
cbanics in various trades agree to the dam
age All but one ascribe the trouble to the un-
certain foundation. The one who did not, at
frst agree thought the trouble due to faulty
construction but when told of the shifting sand
theory he said he had not thought of that be-

SAFETY DEVICES FOR RAILWAYS.
Apparatus for Stopping Trains Automati-
cally When in Danger.

1vo inventions have recently been brought for
ward prominently in Europe for stopping railway
trains when there is danger of collision. On Swiss
roads tests are being made with the following
nlan: At points where trouble is anticipated
stout metal arm is placed between the rails ana
arranged so that 1t can lie down when no service
is required but it can be raised on end by block
signal or other apparatus when there Is danger
ahead On the under side of the locomotive is a
swinging lever which will pass clear OF the arm
when the latter is In the safety" position but will
he hit thereby when the has been thrown up
The motion of the lever automatically sets the air
brakes and warns the engineer. The second inVen-
tion is now being tried in Germany. and is de-
scribed bv the American Consul General at Berlin
This other system is electrical, and differs from
the first in one or two other particulars, but the
general effect is the same.
A continuous third line Of rails Is laid between
those on which the engine and cars run, and at
short intervals provided for letting an
electric current into this conductor. To the loco
motive is attached sliding shoe. which Is always
in contact with the third RAIL- and which picks up
the current when there is any. By electric means
an alarm bell in the engine is rung and red light
caused to glow there. An Improvement which is
not always used goes a step further, and applies
the brakes either to the engine alone or to TIE
whole train The current may be turned into the
third rail by signal man, but it is intended that
the work shall be done automatically where there
is a block signal service A train entering a sec
ton on which there is already another train would

locomotives may have telephones, and communl-
cation between them would be made possible
through the third rail- provided that there was not
too much noise to hear Conversation would be
feasible, of course when both trains were standing

HOW THE SIGNAL IS OPERATED.
Compressed Air, Actuated by Electricity,
Raises Arms

The signal which is reported to have been dis
regarded by the engineer of the express train is
situated about one-fourth of mile west Of
Westfield station, and very nearly three-eghths
OF a mile east of where the trains came into
collision. 1t is a frame supporting two sets OF
semaphores one for track No. 1 and the other
for track No. 2. Diagonally across the roadway
is a similar signal for the two eastbound tracks
These signals operated by compressed air
actuated by electric valves A railroad man ex-
planned the operation of these signals to Trib-
une reporter
When train enters the block, said he, the
two arms for that track are raised to a hori-
zontal position by air admitted by valve which
is opened by an electric circuit completed by the
