A School of Railroading

The need of special training for rail- reading, and much more of it, promises the establishment of so-called national school of railroading, It is said that the railroads of this country need fully two hundred thousand more men to enable them to conduct the operating and the transportation departments as they should be conducted to meet require ments of to-day. The importance of such school is realized elsewhere over the country. There is likelihood that the railroads will establish such school at Chicago.

S4OOO AUTOMOBILE
 BURNS 0N THE ROAD
OCCUPANTS NARROWLY ESCAPE
Machine was Owned by President of New England Lime Company and was Insured for $2800-Had no Chance to Save Luggage-0yer- heated Bearing Caused Fire.

A Winton automobile costing $4. .00o went up in smoke in less than that number of seconds between Canaan and Falls Village Thursday afternoon. It was owned by Charles E. Griffing of Danbury, president of the New England Lime Company. the principal offices of which are at Canaan.
 MT. Grifing, his son, the latter's wife and chaffeur were on their way from Canaan to Danbury. A short distance from Canaan spring, connected with the machines mechanism, broke and was temporarily repaired by the chaf. feur. When they reached a point opposite the residence of Charles Beaujon the chaffeur remarked that it was a favorable spot to stop and permanently repair the spring. All the occupants ahghted and found the rear portion of the machine on fire. An effort was made to extinguish it but it was found i'm. possible. Because of the danger of the explosion of the gasoline tank MT. Grifing and his party dared not attempt to get their luggage and this burned with the machine. In few moments nothing but the iron work was left. The lamps, alone were saved.
 The party proceeded to Falls Village where they spent the night and notified N. A McNeil & Go. of Lime Rock, with whom the machine was insured. I. R Fenton of the McNeil agency went i'm mediately to the scene of the fire and adjusted the loss at $280o-
 How the fire originated is not known but it is presumed it was the result of 2 bearing becoming overloaded.
