FIRE ENGINES

Announcement is made that the Penn

its yard engine in Altoona and Pittsburg
with IRE pumps and hose is meeting with
success.
The company has also reorganized its
Ere departments in these yards in this
manner: Their crews are systematically
trained as fire brigades to promptly put
out any blaze that might occur in the
hundreds Of cars out of reach Of city IRE
departments. The same system may be
INTRODUCED by the "Pennsy" in wlnsng-
ton
Tho yards are divided into districts,
lnumbered as are fire alarm boxes in cities.
When lire is discovered the nearest
switch tower is notified and alarm whis-
ties are blown throughout the yard limits,
by a code OF signals, engineers Of iocomo-
ltives within the yard can tell from the
whistles just where the fire is.
Each engine at once uncouples from
Its draft OF cars as soon as the latter can
be placed where they will not obstruct
main tracks. Yard masters and train di-
rcctors gve necessary orders To- provide
a clear track TO the scene of the fire. Al
most before the locomotives are uncoupled
signals are set indicating the routes by
which TO reach the fire, and by the time
they arrive their crews have pumps un-

RADICALS DEFEAT THE CAR.

It HE Car of Russia has more trouble on his
4 hands. The Gar is not popular with his
subjects. Returns from the recent election show
that the radicals again will control the Russian
Parliament, despite the fact that the suffrage was
restricted so that the ballot would be largely in
the hands of the so-caed conservative classes
and the property owners.
1t was designed to shut out the revolutionists
and the radicals, who have gone to extremes in
the recent Dumas and brought about their disso-
luton But the returns show that the radical
sentiment is not confined by any means to the
propertyless. The new parliament may be some
what more conservative than the previous ones
have been, and in this the members would be
wise From despotism to extreme radicalism is
a long step that cannot be taken at leap. Should
the new Duma prove as obstreperous as the past
ones have been, the Gar may abandon hope of
giving his subjects even a semblance of repre-
sentative government He will then have the
humiliation of knowing that he is ruling abso-
lutely without the consent of the ruled Russia.

CONDITION OF DELAWARE BANKS.

He government report of the condition of the
4 national banks throughout the country last
August makes proud showing for the Delaware
institutions. There are twenty-six banks in the
State and not one of them is reported as either
insolvent or in liquidation. This is a high tribute
to the carefulness of the management of the
States financial institutions. and the Board OF
Trade does well in making this fact known in all
its correspondence in the effort to induce indus
tries to settle in Delaware. No other community
in the United States has such proud record
Utah is the State which has the number OF
banks nearest to that of Delaware, the far West
ern State having twenty-five banks, but it also
has one insolvent and six in liquidation. The
District Of Columbia, near home, has twenty-five
banking institutions that come under the gov
ernment report but three of them are insolvent
and seven are undergoing liquidation Not only
are the Delaware banks on a sound basis, but
there is an increase proposed in the banking inst-
tutons of the State. Several have been estab-
lished recently in Sussex county and more are to
follow as result OF the prosperity that has come
TO that part OF the State owing to the good fruit
and vegetable crops. Nothing speaks better for
community than sound banking institutions, and
Delaware holds the blue ribbon in that respect.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Jan. 19.-The
appearance near KamlOOps of
white man with a terrified Indian
woman companion, is believed to
prove that the girl who was thought
to have been murdered some years
ago was carried off by an insane
"squaw man. The Kamloops Indians
are much excited over the story OF
the finding of the man and the woman
between Fish Lake and Cherry Creek,
sparsely populated section OF the
dry belt.'
An Indian of Kamloops who became
separated from his fellows was
shouting for his friends when he was
surprised to hear a wOman's voice
answer him. Dismounting he found
the woman, who on his approach,
burst into tears and told him he was
| the first Indian she had seen for seven
years He was persuading her to 60
| to Kamloops with him when big
dark. white man with long hair and
beard, appeared on the scene and
| asked the Indian what he wanted
The Indian replied he was hunting
horses. The white man told him he
had better depart and threatened him
with his rife. The Indian retired as
gracefully as was possible under the
/ circumstances.
When he told the story to the tribe
at kamlOOps it at once occurred tC
Chief Louis that the Indian woman
must be the girl who disappeared al
the time of what is called the Bridge
River murder, seven years ago, wher
whole Indian family is believed tc
have been killed by unidentified per
sons The bodies of all the victims
save one girl were found and Chiel
Louis thinks the girl who appeared
at Fish Creek is the missing woman

There are shaving mugs in which

tales when troubles could be cured in

fairy is electricity. We have lighted
our houses, opened doors. rung bells
and run cars for some time now, and
the wonder of all these have ceased
to be marveled at, but what is fast
becoming almost as much admired is
the introduction of this time and la
bor-saving current into the smaller
affairs of the household. Clocks, can
dlesticks. kettles. dishes, kitchen con-
trivances and numerous others come
in the new category Of electrical ap-
paratus and the best part of the whole
thing is that some of them may be
used in a house which is not regu-
larly supplied with electricity for
lighting. Many of these articles have
their own little batteries attached, and
may be used under any circumstances,
while others must be connected with
! the main current of the house.
Cost Is Not Great.

of electricity in a house where every

much more than the cost of coal and
gas for the same space of time. Their

are no ashes to be carried away, nc

fifteen and Insisted on her signing them,
but that she told Thaw she would not,
because the statement was not true"
Mr.. Delmas objected at once on the
ground that the question was a repetition
of others ruled out by the court.
Mr.. Jerome read from the record, the
statement Mrs Thaw made on cross-ex-
animation which he sought to re-but. Mr.
Delmas renewed his objection and said 1t
was based largely on the ground Of man
ifest misconduct on the part of the
district attorney.
Justice Fitzgerald said that the ques-
ton ruled out included portions OF the
present question.
Mr.. Jerome cited additional decisions to
uphold his view.
HummeI Contradicts Himself.
Nh. Delmas in concluding a lengthy
argument on the new question declared
that the fact that Evelyn Nesbit had
refused to sign documents for Harry
Thaw was not evidence that she had not
made the statement to him. He also OBJ
jected to the question put to Hummel
on the ground that he was acting for
Miss Nesbit's attorney. In one question
put to him, Hummel said Evelyn had
called on him in his professional capacity.
He declared Immediately, however, that
ing for Stanford White.
Mr. Jerome declared that young Mrs.
Thaw had waived the right of profession
al privilege as between herself and Hum
mel by stating on the stand her version
of the interview with the lawyer.
1.-The learned district attorney knows"
Interrupted Mr. Delmas. that Mrs. Thaw
was not at that time stating any histori-
cal fact. but was testfying merely as
to what she had told her husband, the
truth of that story not being open to i'm
parchment under the rules of evidence"
There is not a scintilla of evidence
here" said Mr. Jerome, that Hummel
was ever attorney for Miss Nesbit. On the
contrary, we have the oath of the wit
ness that he was so acting"
"He has answered both ways accord
in ; to the record said Justice Fitz--
gerald.
Mr.. relmas said: Stanford White told
Evelyn Nesbit he was taking her to see
Hummel in order that Hummel might
protect her from Harry Thaw. Protect
her howe" concluded the lawyer, "as a
man or as a lawyer?
Mr.. Delmas asked permission to put
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw on the stand to
testify that Hummel acted as her attor-
ney.
To Call Mrs. Thaw.
Mr.. Jerome demurred to this at first and
then said he would not object II the wit
ness were called to the stand before re-
cess and cautioned not TO discuss her
testimony with any one.
DO I understand the district attorney
to imply" said Mr.. Delmas. that there
