BRADY SAYS Il
He IS GUILTY.

Not even standing room could be
secured in police court Friday morning
when the hearing of Bert Brady,
charged with assault and battery upon
Tynaoz Rakovisc in the saloon row in
Crystal park Saturday night came up
before Mayor Smith. The hearing oc-
cupied the entire morning and after
the noon hour Brady pleaded guilty to
the charge and was fined $25 and costs
and given 10 days in the workhouse.
Four of the Hungarians were then
placed under arrest by Chief McCloud.
They were witnesses in the Brady
nearing Charges against them were
filed by officer Brisbin in behalf of
William Reese. The foreigners are
Tynaoz Rakovisc, Joseph Rakovics,
Joseph Samogy, James Beda.
In the Brady hearing it developed
that the defendant had not started the
row but had gone to Reese's assist
ance. The fight was caused when
Reese, it is claimed, sold coat to one
of the foreigners and kept the change
of $40 bill, the coat being sold for 81.

ney John Craine the defense. The

The signals used by railway men in
the running of trains are in the main
Greek to the public. There are those
who are associated with railroad peo-
pie orwho live in the busy centers who
know some of the signals more COM
monty used, but others are known only
to those who have studied the books
of rules. Since the adoption SO uni
versally of air brakes the old signals
for putting on and releasing brakes
have been changed, as the engineer
controls the air from the cab instead
of depending upon brakemen to twist
the brake wheels.
The signals that the Pennsylvania
railroad uses are the ones most pre-
valent in America. These signals are
simple and large-two great advan-
tages-for, being simple, they are easily
understood and remembered, and, be-
ing large--requiring big, sweeping
gestures--they can be read long way
off.
In the day time stop" is signaled by
moving the hand up and down, the
palm inward, before the body-a verti-
cal cutting the air with the edge of the
hand, the movement extending from
the chin to the waist.
Back" is signaled by a big, low
beckoning gesture of the arm a cir
cular gesture made shoulder high.
ut is presumed here that the signal
man is behind the train, and wishes il
to approach him. If he Is in front oi
the train and wishes 1t to go back away
from him he makes the opposite or ''go
ahead gesture.)

hands are held at the breast, and
thence each arm describes huge YER

circle means that Everything is all

railroader says, Ease off," The arms

ders, and, while they remain motion
less the hands are jigged up and down
from the wrists.
At night the signals must, of course
be made with lighted lanterns. The
lantern signals are:

Back" The lamp is swung clear
around the head in tremendous YER
tical cirlce.

B. & 0. IS SUED
Coal Company Wa nts $4,000
Damages-Cars Were Not
Provided Who n Re quIred.

Columbus, Aug. 14.-A damage suit
for $4,000 was filed Thursday after
noon in the United States circuit
court by Gen. Thomas e. Powell, at
torney for G. F. Evans of Columbus
and ]. s. Jones of Chicago, against the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad.
The two men bought 800 shares Of
coal land on the Monongahela division
of the road near Shinnton. w. Va. in
December 1900. The property was i'm
proved and was capable Of a daily out
put of 900 tons.
The plaintiff claims the railroad
made an unequal and unfair distribu-
ton Of It's cars, and when its attention
was called to the matter promised to
see that Riverdale Co., which was the
style of the firm, was taken care of.
Instead of remedying the alleged
grievance, the coal company continued
to receive but six or seven cars daily
and was unable to work the mines to
their capacity. The plaintiffs claim
they were compelled to sell out in
May, 1902, to avoid further losses.

go ahead" The lamp Is moved up
off," The lamp Is moved up and down
in q straight line before the body
slowly. and the length of the line it
travels is very short.
A rare signal is one that announces
that the train has parted, leaving q
car or two behind This is given by
first giving an up and down and then
a circular movement; up and down,
then a circle; up and down then circle.
The speed of these signals denotes
their urgency. Slow and gentle, the
engineer obeys them slowly and gently;
fierce, emphatic, swung as lightning,
the engineer obeys them as fast as he
possibly can.
Besides the hand and lantern signals
there are those of the flag, the whis-
ties, and the torpedoes. The flag sig
nails are:
A red flag-"Danger Stop at once. "
A green 0ag-"Caution. Go very
slowly
A white fag-All right now. Go right
ahead"
In conjunction with the flags tor
pedoes are often used. The explosion
of one torpedo means that the train
must stop; two means that it is to re-
duce speed advancing cautiously. A
, fuse burning on the track Is warning
that the train is to halt and not 60
on until the fuse is quite burned out.
