J. H. EYM0N DEVISES
new RAILROAD CROSSING
ELIMINATES THE JOLT AND
KNOCKING OF THE
WHEELS.
Inventor Was Started Thinking by
the Ceaseless Racket at the Union
Depot In This City.

Attorney James Eymon of the
firm Eymon ana Thompson, has in
vented a railroad crossing which is
probably the most practical track
features that has Deen developed
since the invention or the automatic
switch frog. Eymon secured a pat
ent on his ideas Monday
While standing ABOUT the union
depot waiting on Erie trains Ey-
mon conceived the ideas which re-
suited in the invention. He noticed
the heavy pounding of the loaded
freight cars as they passed over the
Hooking Valley tracks. He realized
that this pounding caused the rail-
roads great deal of expense. Ii
set him 10 thinking. He carved the
designs for his invention out of wood
and later moulded them I'm brass
Eymon's crossing operates in such
a manner as to make a continuous
rail for each road crossing. Small
steel blocks operate in such a man
ner as TO take up the space between
the crossing rails, thus eliminating
eny jar whatever. The crossing Is
cast in solid steel. There are no
bolts. no complicated mechanism. II
is simple and easily operated. The
llanges are moved by single rod
which is attached to the interlocker
switch motor. There Is nothing
about 1t to get out of order The
present crossings cost several hun
dred dollars while Eymon's invention
can be manufactured at a great saw
ing.
Mr.. Eymon has explained his pat
ent to a number of practical rail-
road men and they declare 1t one
of the most remarkable track ini-
provements of the day. Several
Pennsylvania firms are anxious to
manufacture the crossing and Mr.
Eymon has had some very hatter-
ing offers to sell the patent out
right. He has not definitely decided
upon the matter of manufacturing

IN THE GRIP
OF A BLIZZARD
SNOWFALL is THE HEAVIEST
IN YEARS.
TRAFFIC SERIOUSLY DELAYED
SEVEN AND oNE-uALT INCHES
FALL IN NIGHT.
Street Car Traffic Is Delayed and
Business I'm the City Is Very Quiet
for Saturday---Rccords May BE
Broken Before the Blizzard Ceases.

The most terrific blizzard of the
winter began early Friday evening
and continued to increase In VIC.
lence during the night. Seven and
one-half inches of snow fell between
the hours of o'clock Friday even
ing and o'clock Saturday morning.
The snow is greater in depth than
it has been any other time this win
ter and the storm still RACES.
Marion awoke Saturday morning
very slowly. Despite the fact that
the big business day of the week
had arrived. the merchants did not
hurry to- their places of business.
There was work at home. The
front porches were covered with
drifts and the walks were complete
ly hidden beneath the white man
tel.
The street car company had its
troubles. 1t was just the kind of a
morning to do great business.
But the snow froze in the switch
on the tr cks nearly as fast as the
snow plow could clear them. Traf-
fic was exceedingly slow, the cars
moving along at a snails pace.
Street Commissioner John Kinsler
was the first man up i'm Marion Sat
urday morning. He placed n num-
Der of extra men to work and hur-
ried into commission all the avail
able snow plows, in order to at least
orat tla oil \
streets cleared before pedestrians
started to work. He found progress
very slow and many working girl
was compelled to plough through
snow in order to reach her place of
employment.
While 1t Is unfortunate for the
business man to have q stormy Sat
urday, it is pleasing to the school
'marm" and school children. Many
parents would keep their children at
home rather than allow them to
plough through the snow in the face
of the storm. The school teacher
was thankful that she was not COM
PEELED to harry to her school and
receive score of half frozcE
youngsters
A number of wires of the Marion
county telephone company were
snapped during the storm Friday
night Several lines were Knocked
out of commission and the linemen
had an unpleasant day. The West
ern Union telegraph company suf-
fered heavily as result of the
storm.
The interurban cars were exceed
ingly late Saturday morning and
practically all of the trains running
into Marion were from one to FIVE
hours behind time.
The weather reports indicate that
the storm will continue all day Sat
urday and Saturday night.

1.-THE Goodenow estate must pay the
entire amount of its taxes. l will not
agree TO u compromise and accept
any part" This I'm brief is the ulti-
matum delivered to Attorney Will
liams, of Sandusky today by County
Auditor Charles L. Allen when the
former, who represents the estate, en-
deavored to pay a portion of the
amount claimed by the auditor and
have the legal proceedings stopped.
The estate, according to the figures
of the auditor, owes the county SILL
712.5S taxes since the death of JOS
ephus Goodenow. The estate, or
rather that part of 1t located in Ma
rion county amounted to $23S,490. II
Iwas all in personal property, being
money, notes, mortgages and stock
In various corporations.
When the auditor put the amount
pom the tax duplicate for collection and
notified the local administrator, w.
IL. Schaffner, the latter with the 9TH
er administrators commenced an ac-
ton in the common pleas court, seek
ing an injunction restraining the aud
itor from collecting the taxes. The
injunction was granted. The case was
then taken to the circuit court which
held that all moneys in the hands of
the administrator in snis county were
subject to taxation. The case Is now
in the supreme court having been
carried up by former Prosecuting At
torney John II. Clark. 1t should be
decided this year and the officials are
hopeful Of a decision whereby they
may levy on the entire personal estate
of the decedent.
In his lifetime, Josephus Goodenow
did not pay any taxes here. He
claimed a residence in New York, Aft
er his death the Marion county admin
istrator, w. II. Schaffner, had the
greater part of the estate i'm his pos
session and It was assessed for taxa
tion on the first Monday i'm April, the
auditor having had knowledge that
the moneys, stocks ana other personal
property had not been transferred.
The suit in the supreme court not
only covers the taxes for the first
year but II decided favorably to the
state, 1t will govern the action in re-
gard to the time which has elapsed
here.
What good is it going to do you to
get n favorable decisiQn?" asked At
torney Williams. The property has
all been taken away and distributed"
TO this the auditor replied that he
was not in the least worried as to the
disposition or the property. The To-
cal administrator is still here and the
county may recover on his bond II
the taxes are not paid, as he had full
notice of the suit.
