sible for the deaths from
suffocation. There will be no
closed doors in the New York
subway.
But there are many other
devices for safety that the
passenger will notice. 1t is
said that more thought and
ingenuity have been expended
on safeguarding patrons than
on any other feature of the
subway. These safety de-
vices have been carried even
to the smallest details. An
instance of this is furnished in
a simple device that is attach
ed To the sliding doors. It
was suggested that a woman's
garment might be caught in
the door, dragging her along
the platform as the train
passed on. This is impossible
now. for set along the lamb
of each door is a semi-circular
band of rubber. The door
may close upon a garment.
but with the slightest exertion
of force the rubber stretches
and the garment is released.
The dreaded danger of the

linoleun. and rubber mats are placed
in the vestibuleS. There are two
sashes to the windows, the lower
one being stationary while the upper
one drops, thus preventing the pass
cngerS from thruSting their heads
and arms out OF the windows and
mourning the danger OF striking
some obstruction. One is impressed
g on entering the car with the amount
OF room inside. Although the seat
ing arrangement is similar to that
OF the elevated cars, the subway
coaches have much more
available fof passengers. Each car
has a seating capacity OF tfty-two.
There are three hundred motor
cars. each supplied with two motors
of Two hundred horsepower each.
They can easily make forty miles
an hour, the speed at which the
express trains are to be run.

danger that the escaping electricity
may set fire to the car, the con-
ductor can cut his car entirely
off from the circuit without even
stopping the train. Should the
conductor, however, desire to stop
the train suddenly, he can do SO
without signaling to the motorman.
Above the signal rope in each a
is another strap working what is
technically known as the "conduc-
tors valve" A pull on this shuts
off the power, automatically sets
the air brakes and brings the train
to a standstill within a few feet,
even if going at full speed.
Another remarkable invention
makes it impossible for a motor
man to bring disaster to Il train.
If a motorman is drunk or becomes
crazy or falls dead at his post, the
train is in safety. The cars carry
two lines of air pipes-a main
reservoir and a train-line pipe.
The former is charged with ninety
pounds of compressed air to the

how the harmony is brought out

effects. He will also note with
pleasure that the walls are not
disfgurcd with advertisements. as
are the elevated roads in American
cities and the underground stations
in London and Paris. Close at
hand are a lavatory and a news
stand.
One of the most striking things
that the passenger will notice is
the purity of the air. The stations
are so near together, the tunnel is
SO wide. and the stairwavs are so
large, that the passage of the trains
will keep the air in circulation
and provide all the fresh air need
ed. The subway is so near to the
surface that there is no fear as to
the ventilation. Toprovide against
any possibility of failure in this
regard, however, plans have been
made to install ventilating shafts

deadly third-rail, by which the electricity is brought
to the motors. is entirely abolished. The rail is pro-
teced by an insulated hood which will permit any
body to walk over it without danger. One cannot he
injured unless he deliberately seeks to come in con-
tact with the third rail, and he can do that only by
thrusting his hand under the hood. When the Paris
accident occurred the lights went out and the pass
engers were left in darkness in the midst of the
wrecked trains. This could not happen in the New
York subway. as the lighting and power circuits are
entirely separate.
Ever effort has been made to provide all the
trains with all the necessary appliances for safety.
Each car has in the rear a marble switch board in a
steel case. If the insulation is defective, and there Is

fans. There has been much complaint about the ven
tnation in the "tup-penny tubes" in London. But
the tunnels there are deep-set and narrow, and the
stations are equipped with only two entrances. while
those of New York have four. In addition to this,
the New York subway is nearer the fresh air and is
four times as wide as the London tunnel.
In the Paris underground the ventilation was even
worse than it was in London, and it is believed that
this helped to increase the horror of the recent dis
aster there. 1t was learned after the accident had
occurred that because of complaints made by women
of a draft down the stairways a double set of swinging
doors had been installed. When the smoke from the
burning cars filled the tunnel, the closed doors pre-
vented its escape, and were in a great measure respon-

from the street through a kiosk by a broad marble stair
way, He would pass by a ticket-otfce with a neat brass
barred window to a large semi-circular platform of which
way from the opposite sides of the cross street comes
down at the back, midway in the curve of the semi

traveller, if he is a New Yorker, will note at once the
comfortable feeling of room on the platform. In
stead of the nine, ten and twelve-foot platforms on
the elevated stations. he will find that he has a space
of twenty to thirty feet in the middle.

is STARTLING
COINCIDENCE
Death of Two Relatives the Same
Day.

A startling coincidence is reported
by the Banner correspondent at Sand
gate, a circumstance, the like OF
which is seldom recorded.
On Saturday the eighth, occurred the
death of Miss Hattie Amelia Hurd
aged IA years. She was born in that
town, the youngest of four children,
and lived there until fifteen years ago
when she went to Chenoa, H., to live
with neice Abbie Jurlema Hale.
The latter was born in Sandgate in
1854, and went west with her father the
late Deacon Elias Hale In 1895. He
settled in Chenoa and that has since
been her home. Miss Hurd went to
live with her after the death of Mr.
Hale about 1899. 1t has been the GUS
tom of the two ladies to frequently
visit their former Vermont home. They
arrived at Sandgate about four weeks
ago on a visit.
One day both visited the Battenkill
valley fair at Manchester Center met
many friends, but contracted severe
cold. a day or two after arriving
home, pneumonia developed and both
died last Friday, Miss Hurd a short
lime before her neice.
A double funeral was held, both be-
ing laid away in Hillside cemetery in
their native town.

SALISBURY

Charles Sawyer of Georgia, VT,
and Miss Jennie E. Carpenter of
Castleton, were united in marriage by
the Rev Mr. Nye Oct 3, 1904 at the
home of the BRIDES parents, Mr. and
Mrs Solomon Carpenter, in Castleton.
The ceremony was performed on the
lawn under very pretty evergreen
arch trimmed with pink flowers, pink
being the wedding color. Six young
ladies dressed in white and carrying
evergreen ropes preceded toward the
arch, in front of which they halted,
while the bridesmaid, Miss Agnes l..
Carpenter, sister of the bride, attired
in pink net, and the bride on the arm
of her father, passed through to take
their places where the groom and best
man, George Ballard of Georgia, VT,
awaited them, after which the six
young ladies formed a semi-circle
back of the arch. The bride was
beautifully attired in a gown of white
albatross trimmed with lace and rib
bon and carried a boquet of white
asters. The ceremony was a very
pretty one, the ring being used and
the father giving away the bride.
Nearly one hundred guests offered con-
CALCULATIONS to the newly married
couple and gathered in the house to
partake of the dainty refreshments
which had been prepared. The din
ing room was tastefully decorated in
pink. A tissue paper parasol was sus-
pended over the center of the table
from which pink streamers and smilax
extended to the corners of the table,
in the center of which stood the BRIDES
loaf. The numerous gifts were both
beautiful and useful. Amid shower
of rice and good wishes. Mr. and Mrs
Sawyer took their departure for Bos-
ton, Mass, where they will spend their
honeymoon and will make their future
home in Castleton.
