NARROW ESCAPE FOR HIS LIFE.
Ernest Ford. son of Prof. Lorenzo
Ford and nin-law OF John NJ.
Browning of this city, was the victim
of a peculiar accident which almost
resulted fatally. Late Monday even
ing he was at the Glenwood saucer
track riding around on a motor cycle
which he recently purchased.
AS near as Ford can remember, IL
seems that he had ridden around the
, track so many times that he grew
| dizzy and tainted In some manner
| he turned the motor on FOR full speed
and it ran away with him. 1t struck
a pole and he was thrown to the
| ground. The gasoline of the engine
| in the tank caught fire and burned up
! and set fire to his clothes The
| timely arrival of friends probably
| saved the young mans life.
Ford was removed to his home on
| Madison avenue and remained uncon-
| scious for several hours. He was
burned about the legs and face and
| hands, and is suffering from a number
of bruises which he received by
! falling from the motor.
| A report received from the Ford
! home early this morning is to the er-
| feet that the young man is resting
| comfortably and is in fair way to
| fully recover.
The case is peculiar in that an effort
| was made to keep an account of the
accident out of the newspapers. Why
| this was done is not known

REFORM WAVE IN WEBER.

Ogden. July 2--Sheriff b. b. Wilson
has been advised by County Atty. Har-
ris that hereafter he. the sheriff. will
see that the resorts in ogden canyon
do not sell any more liquor on Sunday.
The order Is directed at the proprie-
tors of the Hermitage. the Oaks and
the Idlewlld, and was delivered to them
last Sunday by the sheriff.
The county attorney says that his
sole object in closing up the canyon
resorts on Sunday is for the protection
of life and property. He claims that
numerous reports have reached him TO
the effect that liquor imbibers have
nearly caused serious accidents in the
canyon recently by their reckless driv-
ing.
Owing to the fact that the closing Of
the bars practically means the closing
of the canyon resorts. there Is soma
talk of a test case. being made. The
claim is made that the resorts make
their money by serving drinks with
their meals on Sunday and If this
privilege is denied them they will have
to close.
ANTI GAMBLING CAMPAIGN.
The statement was also given out
yesterday that the county attorney will
also inaugurate campaign against
gambling in the city. Nothing has been
done in this matter heretofore owing
to the officers claiming they could not
get any evidence. Within the past 10
days there have been cases in the police
and district court which show conclu-
sively that gambling exists in Ogden
and IL Is with this evidence that County
Atty. Harris will proceed.
in connection with the fight against
the canyon saloons and gambling the
chief of police has started crusade
against that class of men who live on
the shame of women. There are many
of them In ogden and as fast as they
are found they are arrested and given
Jail sentences varying from rs to 80
days upon the rock pile. Truly the re-
form wave has struck ogden again.

StraIuht Railway Track,

In spite of the apparently mathe.

the western railways appear to follow
on the map, it has been stated that
the record in this respect will be beat.

the Grand Trunk Pacific, 70 miles OF
which will be constructed without a
curve. Five years ago, however, a
length of II miles Of perfectly straight
railway track was constructed on the
extension Of the Rhodesia railways

Victoria falls. So far, therefore, as
the length of straight line is con-
cerned, the record is held by the por.

NEW SYSTEM A GOOD ONE.
InterIockIng Switching Plant That
Can't Make Mistakes.

One Of the largest railroad signal
and interlocking switching plants in
the world has been put into operation
by the Delaware, Lackawanna & West
ern railroad. The new plant controls
all Of the train movements at the new
Hoboken terminal of the Lackawanna,
and is the first plant Of the track cir.
cult interlocking type to be installed
In this country. There are 131 little
switches on every track that runs
into the main terminal. The old way
Of switching required at least 30 men
to do the work. Under the new ar.
rangement four men can do the work
In less time, and so perfectly con-
structed is the plant that according
to the engineers, 1t is almost impossi.
BILE to make a mistake. This system
Of interlocking eliminates the old-fash-
toned detector bars used with the old
or interlocking plants. In the inter
locking cabin, where the system ope-
ated, there Is perfect model Of the
yard, showing every track controlled
by the apparatus and which indicates
at all times to the men in charge ex-
actly how the system Is working. As
soon as the automatic signals are In.
stalled, the engineer, before he starts
his train, will get his signals, his
routing will be absolutely fixed and
the signal will indicate to him when
and where to move. As soon as the
engineer gets his train on the fixed
route the operator In the tower can
not possibly change that route or
change the switches under that train
until the train is clear Of the route.
1t will be impossible for another train
to foul that train while 1t Is on the
route fixed for 1t. Seventy-fve miles
Of insulated wire was used in connect
ing the track circuits with the inter
locking layout. The system is known
as the electro-pneumatic, the power
used being compressed air, the move
ment OF the switches being controlled
by piston operating in an air-cylin-
der. The operations in the air cylin-
ders are made by means of a magnet,
electrically controlled, which opens up
an air valve. so as to apply the air
In the cylinder in such fashion as to
move the switch. When the train is
made up in the terminal and is ready
to 60 out, the station master touches
little electric button, which indi-
Gates to the director in the operating
tower that the train is ready to 60.
The director then fixes the routing
for that train, gives 1t the signal and
the train is off on its journey.

IS SAFETY DEVICE
NEW APPARATUS IN USE ON
EN0LiSH RAILROAD.
Shows Plainly to Occupants Of En-
gIne Cab How Signals Are Set
Simple and Said to 30
lnfalllbls.

There is urgent need, 90 the ap.
palling Shrewsbury disaster has clear.
ly shown, for the adoption Of some
safety device which shall infallibly
make the driver and stoksr Of every
train fully aware Of the position Of the
signals indicating whether the line ID
clear or obstructed.
For some months past the South
eastern & Chatham railway has been
giving facilities for testing a new ap.
paratus which automatically repro.
duces In the engine cab both distant"
and home" signals, as set for an ap.
preaching train.
A short double third rail Is laid
between the metals for some distance
from signal box, and electrically con-
nected by wire running over the or.
binary telegraph poles with the levers
in the signal cabin. In the engine cab
itself, in front Of the driver, Is small
case about foot square, and above
1t a powerful bell.
In the face OF the case are two small
apertures covered with glass. in which
appear miniature semaphore arms, cor.
responding with the home" ana dis
tant" signals on the line. Two tiny
bull's-eyes Of red and green glass are
above the apertures.
From beneath the engine hand two
sets Of oval Shoes" Directly the
train approaching the signal box
reaches the short third" rail the
shoes begin to glide firmly over, the
contact completing the electric circuit.
Thereupon the signals are instantly re-
produced in the little case In the en-.
CINE cab, and the attention Of the
driver and stoker called to them by the
ringing of the bell. At the same time

Attached to the device Is q tefe-

Rapid and Good Work,

A gang of Great Northern railroad
engineers and platelayers one recent
Sunday gave a remarkable display Of
rapid bodybuilding, according to an
English newspaper. A bridge outside
Harringay station over the Midland
railways line had to be widened, and
two enormous Orders were construct
ed. During the week supports for the
girders were built under the old
bridge, and as soon as the heavy traf.
Gc of the Saturday night had been
dealt with gangs of men, working in
relays, pulled up the rails, demolished
the old bridge, and earted the debris
away. By eight p. m. both Orders
had been hoisted into position, and at
midnight the permanent way was In
order again.
