of which had been turned out as
warning that the tracks We're not clear

ser ahead and stopped. Four passen-
ger trains We're included in the list
and only two of these even slackened
speed. Aroused by the criticism heaped
upon the railroads recently because of
the large number Of wrecks, the Lake
Shore officials decided to make a test
on this division of their road They
darkened the lights, which signal
whether or not the tracks are clear
and then they waited for developments.
Train after train flew past the tower
and the crews paid no attention what
soever to the absence of signal lights.
Out of the twenty-fi five trains which the
officials noticed. only one stopped to in
vestigate what was wrong The engine
driver was commended.

feature of the house is the broad ar
Dor supported by massive pillars
which extends from the front verania
to the yard entrance

expended close to ten thousand dol
lars in making improvements. The

cement facing was almost entirely
rebuilt.

been closed, what he paid for the
property but he declined to make the
price public. He admitted, however
he had secured bargain. 1t is said

| weeks ago for $4,000.
