ing serious accident was narrowly
averted sometime ago caused by this
neglect and the trainmen were warned.
Last evening the passengers in a tour
ing car had even closer call when sew
eral cars were pushed out of the dark
ness at the side of the street into the
glare of the auto lights just as the
chauffeur thought the crossing was
clear. 1t was only by throwing on all
the brakes to their limit that the auto
mobile was kept from being smashed
into by the train and then only by the
narrow margin of less than a foot
The slow speed at which the automo-
bile was going was the only thing that
saved it for they were within a dozen
feet OF the tracks before the train could
be seen and the train crew either did
not care or did not see the approaching
auto. None of them were in sight until
the train had nearly passed. 1t is the
duty of some of the officials of the town
to see that such criminal carelessness
is stopped.

scheduled for the curtain to rise.
After the last act of the play, Prin-
