Any invention that saves time and labor
is bound to come into universal use. Wit
ness the sewing machine, the telephone,
the electric light and scores of Others.
They were received with doubt at first;
now every intelligent person takes advan-
tage of them.
So Fel8-Naptha soap will some day be
used by every woman in this country who
washes clothes. More than million now
make it save them time, bother and hard
work, and the number is growing every
wash-day. If you are not one of these
million modern women, you will be some
day-juSt as soon as you have courage
enough to break away from old-fashioned
methods, Every week your delay means
another half day of backbreaking labor,
coal OF gas wasted, danger of colds from
steam, unnecessary wear and tear on clothes.
With FelS-Naptha you can wash in cold
or lukewarm water without hard rubbing,
and IN half the time it takes by the wash
boiler method. Follow closely the direc-
tons on the red and green wrapper.

Many Citizens Claim That They Are
Dangerous and That There Ought to
be Flagmen Placed at Each of These
CrOssings-Decision Reserved.
The hearing before the state board Of
railroad commissioners relative to the
railroad crossings at Thompson street
was concluded yesterday afternoon,
but no decision was given out. The
commissioners stated that they would
take the matter into consideration, and
make report.
The state board of railroad commits
sioners held a public hearing in city
hall yesterday on the application of the
city that the New Haven road estab-
lish fiagmen at the grade crossings at
Thompson and Brewster streets, on the
Northampton division. These crossings
the residents of the Ninth ward say are
regular death traps. The case of the
city was presented by Corporation
Counsel Daggett, who called upon.
many citizens who reside near the
crossings to testify as to their dam
gerous condition While they are unpro-
tected.
Samuel H. Williams, druggist, was
the first witness called. He related an
incident whereby one Of his children
had narrow escape at the Thompson
street crossing, and for that reason,
if no other, he wanted to see the cross
ing protected, There is a school house
close to these crossings, and Mr.. Will
Hanls said the pupils ought to have
their lives protected.
An acquaintance of the railroad COM
missioners with the surroundings will
be made, for they stated that they
would visit the crossings. 1t was an
nounced that the speed of the trains
would not be taken into consideration.
W. W. Stowe of 225 Shelton avenue
said he appeared as matter of duty
10 protect the lives Of the citizens of
the ward. He stated that he had seen
many distressing acct lents at the cross
ings and many narrow escapes. Mr..
Stowe took occasion to score the bell
system used by the railroad at some
c. the crossings,
W. J. Buckley of AZ Dorman street
pointed out that many of the employees

ley said that just before the recent ac-
cident at Thompson street, only few
moments before, a man told him that
somebody would surely be killed at the
crossing
John NJ Crock Of 25 Brewster street
declared the Brewster street crossing
to be dangerous.
William d. Minor, grocer in the To-
cality, said he had seen escapes so mar
row that he was compelled to turn his
head away.

CHILD KILLED BY RUNAWAY
Mother and Three other Children Per-
haps Fatally Injured.


New York, Jan. IA runaway team
dashed into crowd at a First avenue
crossing tonight, killing a baby in it's
carriage and so injuring the child's
mother and three other children that
they can hardly survive.
AS the driverless team, drawing a
heavy truck, turned into the avenue,
MRS. Minnie Klappel, pushing a car
riage occupied by her sixteen-months-
old boy, Sidney, and with another son,
Harry, aged four, and a daughter, Mil
lie six years old, on either side, started
for the opposite curb. With them were
Frank Sohn, aged three, and Frederick
Leachman, seven years old. The wom-
an saw their peril and made a frantic
effort to get her charges back to the
curb. Only Mile escaped. The baby
was crushed to death in its go-cart,
while Mrs. Klappel and the other three
children were trampled upon.
Removed senseless to a hospital, all
were found to be frightfully injured, in
each case internal wounds being prob
ably serious enough to cause death.
The momentary check to the runa-
ways as they stumbled among the vic
Tins permitted others in the avenue to
ESCAPE. The team was stopped by po-
lisemen. who arrested Alexander Tag
CERT, the driver, who is alleged to have
left his horses in the street. He was
charged with homicide after he had
been dragged through an angry and
threatening crowd to a police station.

VERY GRAVE REVhLATTOM
Conductors and Engineers Have Not
Regulated Watches by Company's
Standard Clocks,

Conductors and Engineers Have Not
Regulated Watches by Company's
Standard Clocks.
I Washington, AIN. Tt was disclosed
at the coroner's inquest to-day into the
Terra Gotta wreck on the night of De-
cember 80 that engineers and conduc-
tors have not heretofore generally OBJ
served the rules of the Baltimore and
Ohio in regard Ito regulating their
"a A serrttcciites In accordance. with the COM
panys standard clocks at Baltimore,
Cumberland and Washington. In his
Testimony Conductor Hoffmeir, Of No.
212O, the dead" train, intimated that
these clocks did not always keep cor
rect time.
Superintendent Galloway was appar-
emily much surprised when he heard
the latter's statement, and said that an
order was issued last October requiring
operators to regulate their clocks ac-
cording to standard time. He said
that the regulations require conductors
and engineers, before leaving for run,
to compare their watches with these
\ clocks.
Mr.. Galloway said that the failure Of
men engaged in the movement Of trains
to comply with the instructions was a
grave mistake and made serious acct
dents liable.
Engineer Hildebrand, Of the dead"
train, admitted, when recalled to-day,
that he failed to observe any signal at
Takoma Park on the night of the
wreck, as he thought that station was
dead" and consequently did not look
for the signal. He stated that he did
see the base of the tower, but that he
did not look at the top because he did
not expect to see any signal there.
1t is thought the coroners inquiry
will not be concluded before Wednes-
day or Thursday.

Measures

Work of Year Reviewed by Fire Mar
shall and sealer of Weights and
Measures.
Two annual reports were handed in
TO the city clerk yesterday, and were
to have been read at the meeting of
the board of aldermen last night. The
first of these was from Edward J. Ma
roney, sealer of weights and measures,
and the second from Fire Marshal
Gladwin.
Mr.. Maroney's report shows the fol-
lowing: Number of articles inspected
and found correct, Il, 3O4; corrected, 361;
condemned, 166; total, 1881.
His fees for the year were $746.66. His
salary is $500, making total income
for the year of $1,414.66, or slightly less
than he will receive this year. His
salary this year will be $1,5OO and no
fees.
The following is the fire marshars
report:
TP the Board of Aldermen.
Gentlemen:-I have the honor to
submit herewith my ninth annual re-
port, comprising the business transact
partment for the year ending Decem-
Der 81, 1905.
The following are the number of IL
censes issued during the year: 1853 IL
censes for sale of kerosene oil at re-
tail, 10 licenses for sale of kerosene oil
at wholesale, S5 licenses for sale of fire
works.
On January 26 Professor H. L. Wells
made test of kerosene oil, and found
a poor grade of oil, and the company
dealing in the oil ordered to remove it.
Five other personal tests have been
made by me as follows; March IA, June
lo, September Is, October 10 and De-
cember 6. I found in each case the
oil of a quality sufficient to pass the
test provided by law.
All explosives were transported
through the city under my supervision,
and without accident.
Stores, cellars and back yards were
inspected under my supervision during
the year, and were found or placed in
good condition,
The cause of two fires has been at
tributed to incendiarism, and reported
ito the state fire marshal according to
law. Sufficient evidence was found in
these cases to warrant arrests.
One case, that Of ]. & T. Cory, gro
Gerry store, at 1874 and 1856 State street,
on January 8, was brought to trial, and
Corey Brothers bound over to the SUI
perior court. Since then nothing has

The other case, that of Raffaelo Ru-
tolo, for fire in q dwelling house at IS
