Car Weights Corrected.
Fafrmont yards is equipped with one

weighing cars of coal that can be con.

scales, 1t sets them into operation.
The car is weighed while it is in mo

is printed upon "a narrow
slip OF paper which comes from the
stamping machine into the plain view
of the clerk, who takes down the num-
her of the car and the weight thereof.
The car is then shipped in accord
ance with this weight, and IL it is
greater than the capacity Of the car
calls for, it is ordered to be returned
to the shipper, with the memorandum
that there is too much coal loaded
thereon.
There is a large number of empty
cars weighed at the same scales This
is done SO that the net weight of the
car of loaded coal can be obtained. 1t

Train Wrecker Al Cresco.

Last week ON different occasions
trains were compelled to stop and re-
move distractions placed on the track
on the high embankment just east of
town. A railroad detective was sent
to investigate the matter and suspicion
was directed to young boy aged
about twelve years, the son of @. w.
Pierce. Upon being accused he add
mitted his guilt. The case was re-
ported to railroad headquarters and
will be disposed of according to their
wishes in the matter. While it is
thought the boy did not realize the
danger to which he was subjecting
life and property in placing ties upon
the track ito see them jump as he
expressed it, when struck by the pilot,
still it is crime considered so serious
that a penitentiary sentence of from
two years to life Imprisonment is the
penalty in a conviction for putting
distractions upon a railroad track. -

Apropos of this case, the city of
