Automatic Switches DspIace Hundreds
Of Veteran Railway Men.
BOSTON, July 31.-When motormen
and conductors on the electric railway
system in the East became old and gray
In the service, when their strength be-
gan to fail and their eyesight became
weak, they were installed as switchmen
and allowed to earn a few dollars a
week by working IL hours a day, but
now the Boston magnates have secured
control of an automatic switch and over
a hundred men are to be displaced this
month and the balance in the near fu-
ture. The new device is electrical, and
according to Boston dailies, will be
generally adopted. The old switchmen
will be thrown on the scrap-heap, like
so much worn-out old iron.

Of from 25 to so, and in some instances to a

not give even temporary relief, and will

Yesterday afternoon the driver of the
repair wagon of McKee's pump shop on
South Main street drove up in front Of
the blacksmith shop at the corner OF
Main and William streets TO have a shoe
removed. The blacksmith began work
but the horse became frightened and ran
away. The traces had been Ioosened and
at the first jump the wagon pole fell to
the ground and the horses became thor
oughly frightened and began running in
earnest. The driver jumped from the rig
at the corner of Main and Douglas and
the horses turned west. 1t is wonder
that the pole did not strike the car tracks
and wreck the wagon. but the two ami
mails kept It going until in front of Nc
Leans lumber yard, where wheel
struck another rig and the horses broke
loose. They ran around one of the big
barns on West Douglas avenue and then
across the bridge TO the barn on the West
Side The wagon was not injured in the
least but the one wheel and axle nt the
buggy struck was smashed to pieces.
