by the aid of a great many polysylla-
bic expressions and torrent OF pro-
fessional phrsseology, which swept
everyone Off their feet. but which. on
being filtered down for the benefit of

the following facts. viz, that the edges

made its entrance, were torn and

DR.. Cartwright. having brought his
evidence to a conclusion, now gave
place to another witness, and one in
whose power it might be to help to
unravel the mystery. This last was
the guard of the 4:3O train-an in
telligent looking man. who, with
bandage round his head and one arm
in n sling, bore tokens of the injuries
he had received in jumping from the
train while 1t was in motion.
On being questioned as to what he
knew of the matter, he replied, with
out any hesitation, that he remem-
bered the fourth carriage from the
engine well. and the passengers that
It contained in that particular com.
partment.
"Was he sure that there was more
than one passenger In that compart-
ment OF the carriage referred to?"

Aim to Proven, Accident.

The frequency of accidents to pas
sengers at railway stations and at the
stopping places on elevated electric
lines has led inventors to devise some
means of lessening the sacrifice of
life and limb. A recently perfected
safety gate for use on railroad trains
and trolley cars, particularly for ele-
vated systems, provides a step guard.
Upon closing the gate. which is made
OF hinged three-quarter inch pipe, the
step guard is swung into place flush
with the platform and at It's extreme
edge. thereby giving a continuous fiat
surface from gate to gate. The usual
folding gate has to be located ct some
distance inside abe platform. or else.
especially where several steps arc
needed to reach the platform. Pm open
space Is left, which experience has
shown to be a fruitful source Of acci-
dent.

This is an action In assumpsit by

iZATloN ARRANGED.
COEtHO HERE.

Monday last saw the organization in
Waikiki, Maui, of the first regular fire
department the place has ever had and
the action taken at that time marks
very important event in the history of
the place. The meeting was held in
the court house and was presided over
by w. ]. Coelho, formerly Of this city,
but who is now making Maui his home.
The result of the election was as fol

The organization committee appoint
ed at the preliminary meeting. report.
ed and recommended draft of a con.
stitution similar to the constitution OF
the volunteer fire department, which
existed In this city long years ago.
This was accepted at the meeting.
The plan of the fire department Of
Wailuku is to secure location on the
main street,of the town in the imme.
date vicinity of the court house. In
this way It Is thought that the very
best results can be obtained. The
horses and fire apparatus can be kept
at this place and extra men can be
placed on the police force whose duty
II will be on the sounding of an alarm,
to get everything in readiness and pro.
coed with all speed to the scene Of the
confagration. AS is well known. the
court house stands at the highest ele
walton so that 1t Is always a matter OF
going down hill whenever there Is a
fire. The plan is that the hired men
shall take the engine and hose cart ia
the fire and that all the members OF
the department shall instead Of run
ming to headquarters, also make di
/ rectly for the scene of the trouble. The
very best element of Wailuku is back
ing the proposition.
The alarm system has not yet beer
decided on. Mr.. Coelho. who is in Ho
nolulu for the express purpose of con
ferring with the chief Of the local fir
department and the fire commission
ers. will obtain facts from these mel
which he will submit to the Wailuk'
department on his return next Friday
The intention is to always consul
with those in the employ Of the gov
eminent who have to do with the fir
department of this city.
As to uniforms, the members OF tn
Waikiki department will apply to tn
