WILL FIT UP ROOMS
Baltimore 8 Ohio Officials Are
Here For That Purpose.
INSPECT THE PASSENGER DEPOT
Will Arrange For Accommodation of
Trainmen Here Rumor of New
and Handsome Station In This
City Again Revived.

Master Carpenter S. G. Tanner, of
the Baltimore G Ohio railroad, and
Mr.. John Hating, who has charge of
the plumbing and heating of the sec
ond and third divisions of the same
road, have been in this city today for
the purpose of making an inspection
Of the passenger station here in or
der to draw plans for the fitting up
of the second and third floors of the
building for the accommodation of
the trainmen, who will be compelled
to lay over here after the 16-hour law
goes into effect, next spring.
1t is expected that they will COM
plete their inspection of the building
and return to Cumberland tonight, and
that the plans will be prepared and
work started Immediately. In all, 10
rooms will be fitted up for the accom-
mediation of the railroad men, and
these will include bath and toilet
rooms, with probably a room or two
for the purpose of instructing the
trainmen in matters pertaining to
their duties.
A local Baltimore &c Ohio official,
when interviewed this afternoon on
this subject, expressed the belief that
the fitting up of these rooms in the
old passenger station was but the fore
runner of more important and extern
sive improvements here. This official
declared that the impression prevail
ed that a new passenger depot would
be erected here next summer, and went
SO far as, to state that the foundations
Of this new station would be built
Of concrete, and that it would be a
handsome and commodious structure.
He also stated that in all probable
ity the arrangement of the upper
floors of the passenger depot for the
accommodation of the railroad men
would be followed by the establish
ment of an institution along the lines
of a railroad Young Mems Christian
association. which might be made an
auxiliary to the city association.

Samuel Glen Had Exceedingly Mar
row Escape From Death.
He RECEIVED PAINFUL INJURIES
Slipped and Fell From Tender Under
the Wheels, But Caught Hold
of Iron Ban and Escaped a
Violent Death.

Samuel Glen, a freight brakeman on
the Cumberland Valley railroad, and
a former resident Of this city, who
is well known here, was the victim
Of serious accident while at work
with other members OF his crew near
Cumbo on Tuesday, from which he
emerged with severe injuries after an
exceedingly narrow escape from
death.
Brakeman Glenn was helping to
shift a string of cars, and was riding
upon the tender while the engine was
running backward In some manner
he lost his footing and fell onto the
tracks, directly in the pathway of the
engine, which was running at a good
rate of speed.
Although half stunned by the fall,
the brakeman realized the danger OF
his position and retained his presence
of mind sufficiently TO grasp a bar on
the under side of the tender as that
portion of the engine was In the act
Of running over him.
He hung to the bar tenaciously and
was dragged along the ties for a
considerable distance before his per-
ilous position was discovered by the
other trainmen and the engine brought
to stop. He was taken to the agents
room at Cumbo, where an examine
ton showed that he had suffered an
number of Commissions about the head
and body. 1t is not believed that any
bones were broken.
Later the injured man was removed
to his home in Chambersburg, where
surgical attendance was given. While
his injuries are severe, he is not dan
gerously hurt, and will be able 10 re-
sumo his duties in about week
