.P.,B. & WIS NEW STATION
TO Be BUILT ON PILING
Temporary Structure Is Toe
Small to Accommodate
Travellers

Owing 10 the nature Of the ground the
new elevated station at Front and French
streets to be erected by the p. b. 4 w.
Railroad Company viii be built on a
series OF pilings which will be driven TO
the depth Of some twenty-five feet below
the bottom of the excavations that viii be
made for foundations.
Workmen engaged In removing the train
shed are gradually encroaching upon the
old station and Il is expected that by the
middle Of October it win have been COM
pletoly demolished and the debris cleared
away. 1t will take probably four weeks
more to excavate, drive pilings and lay
foundations for the new station. The time
in which it will be completed cannot be
estimated at present.
Already comments are being made as
to the size Of the temporary station and
many believe that in order 10 accommo-
date the public the company should have
made the waiting rooms at least double
their present size. In the general waiting
room used by both men and women there
are f2 seats while in the ladies' waiting
room there is not half that number Half
the travel on Saturday nights now cannot
be accommodated in the station and what
1t will be during the winter. especially
at holiday times can readily be imagined.

the runaway the carriage almost
turning over in the mad flight.
But from the mass of people an
athlete form sprang, timing his jump
+ to the second. A pair of powerful
hands grasped the bride, and a pair
/ OF muscular arms brought the horse
to a standstill. The girl looked down
'on her rescuer.
She was Miss Bertha M. Kinne.
He was Joseph p. Dillon, assistant
