Chief Fire Marshal W r. Kline has
returned from a triD to Winchester,
where he held a conference with
prominent ciGzens and fremen con
corning the proposition to hold the

that they would entertain the conven-

demonstration, as is customary
when The fremen of the valley meet

OF meeting. and Mr.. KLINE announces
that a meeting of the citizens and

safeguard train Go from the approach
of extra 2120; and furthermore, by his
failure to require the operators on the
Metropolitan branch to transmft prop
er train reports after the departure
Of each train; also for his failure to
enforce the rule forbidding operators
to close their Offices before receiving
from him, the said Dent, the usual
good night clearance order.
Kelly Blamed for Schedule.
"Trainmaster J. w. Kelly, for pro
mitigating schedule for week days
which trainmen were compelled to use
on all days of the week, and which
was impossible for train No. 6G to
make on Sundays, thereby addins
confusion and danger to the move
ment of trains on the Metropolitan
branch.
THE jury is of the opinion, on the
evidence submitted at this inquest,
that the normal block system as at
present operated on the Metropolitan
branch Of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, does not afford sufficient pro
lection to the lives and property of its
patrons; that the wages paid to the
operators and signal men are not
large enough to secure the services OF
competent and reliable men.
1--WE find that the practice OF clos
ing block signal stations for the day
between the hours of $50 and 8
o'clock in the evening is not condu-
Give to the safety of traffic.
I'VE recommend that all block sig
nal stations be kept operating twenty.
four hours a day, and that no addition
al duties, aside from working the sig
nails and attending to the telegraphic
duties, be imposed upon operators.
we recommend that a more rigid
of timepieces in use by the
operators and trainmen, and also for
a uniform compulsory rule for the com
parison by trainmen aud others charg
cd with the responsibility of operat
Ing trains with clocks known and
designated as standard time

alleged carelessness of a telegraph OPP

which was participated in by Super
intendent Galloway, of the Metropoli-

road and resulted in the superinten.
dent agreeing to direct the parties
said to be concerned in the incident to
appear in Washington Immediately.
AS a result, J. H. Peer, of Martins,
burg, veteran engineer, appeared at
the inquest just at adjournment time.
He was dressed in his working clothes
and was grimy with oil and coal dust,
showing he had hastily quit his en-

ceiving his telegraphic summons.

ton he saw red signal change 10
white. the latter indicating a clear
track to Silver Spring. Under this
signal he proceeded on his way to Sill
yer Spring without stopping at the
block. About three miles from Ken
sington, he said, he was met by nag
man, and brought his train to stop
within about 100 yards of another
train.
The mistake resulted in nothing Sc
riOus. and was brought out by the cor
oner with a view to showing that two
trains oft times get into the same
block without orders.
Operator Dutrow was in charge of
the Silver Spring end of the block, and
the, train was not supposed to entel
until the Kensington operator had re-
ceived a confirmation from Silver
Spring that it was clear Whether
Dutrow telegfaphed that the block was
clear will be shown today when both
he and the operator al hensington
will be on the stand.
Engineer Peer said he asked DutroN
fer an explanation on arriving at Sill
YER Spring and was told by the latter
that he had not given on order to the
operator at Kensingeon tiat the track
was clear.
The testimony of Engineer John c. |
of Martinsburg was most IA |
vorable to Hildebrand, inasmuch as
the witness stated to tie jury that III
he had been running the reXtra' on !
hight and had been given the |
double green signal at Silver Spring, |
that he would have proceeded as Hill
