The Proposed Elimination Of
Grade CROSSINGS,

On the face of it, this seems an at
tractive proposition; but when a person
considers it carefully with the present
uses of our highways it becomes a seri-
Gus problem whether the proposed
change would not be far more danger
GUS condition than what we now have.
Our present crossings have been in use
since the railroad was constructed,
over 60 years, and we never have heard
of an accident in that time. Does any
one think that the proposed underpass
with its dangerous curves could be used
five years without serious accident?
The underpass at Vergennes is objec-
tionable because of the sharp curve
west of the cut, and the very abrupt
turn at the east for all teams drawing
freight to and from the cars. Several
accidents already have been narrowly
avoided because of this condition of
things, and we Judge there is not
nearly as much travel there as there
would be at the proposed underpass in
Middlebury. Some of the people of
Ferrisburgh and Vergennes are quite
dissatisfied with the change, much pre-
ferring the old condition of things.
We are informed that an underpass
near Royalton, VT, is constructed with
curves at the approaches and as a re-
suit they have already had several acct
dents there.
We think that none of our people want
to jump from the frying pan into the
fire.

Before Mr.. Gerrity had returned to
the runabout, the footing of an automo-
bile horn caused Murphy, the horse at
tached to the light vehicle, to make a
break up Fifth avenue.
When the horse started Miss DuBose
dropped the reins and she and Miss
O'Connor attempted to jump from the
runabout. At Ninety-second street
Traffic Policeman Daniel McGlinchy.
mounted on Fatigue, called to the girls
to keep their seats. At Ninety
street Policeman McGlinchy caught the
bride. A hole in the asphalt caused the
traffic horse to fall, and Policeman Nc
Glinchy was thrown violently to the
street and rendered unconscious.
In the meanwhile an automobile
driven by Benjamin Sones, of No AZ
Garden street, Brooklyn, gained the
lead of the score or more machines in
pursuit of the frightened horse. Miss
DuBose and Miss O'Conner were
screaming, while persons in automo-
biles and on bicycles were calling to
them not to jump.
Miss Lille Cohen of No. 60 West 14Oth
street, and Benjamin Werbelozsky were
passengers in the car with Sones. At
lOSth street, the automobile ran into
William Volquarts, chauffeur.
At lO9th street Nathaniel Goldstone. a
law student of No. 918 West 117th
street, who was on bicycle, was struck
by the automobile At 116th street
Volquarts, who had jumped into another
automobile, placed Benjamin Sones
under arrest charging him with assault.
GIRLS THROWN OUT.
The runaway horse ran into a lamp
post at l11th street. Miss O'Connor
and Miss DuBose were thrown to the
sidewalk. With harness and shafts at
tached the horse continued his run. At
ll2th street young woman had her
dress caught in the harness and was
dragged block.
At ll6th street Murphy came near
running into a crosstown car. In the
upper part of Fifth avenue scores of
families were seated on the curb and
the runaway upset half a dozen baby
carriages. At the entrance to Mount
Morris Park, at 12Oth street and Fifth
avenue Policeman Herbert Hollweg
tried to stop the horse. He was dragged
through the park to 124th street and
Mount Morris Park West, and regaining
his feet there, he threw the rens over
a post and threw the horse off his feet.
AT the East l26th street station Chris
topher Gage, a liveryman of No. ITO
East l23d street, put in claim for the
horse. New York Herald.

Pittsburg, Pa, Thursday, -Four per-

The train was fast express going at

their neighbors, the Reeds, and started
upon the i'll fated pleasure trip. Just
as they were nearing home long freight
train shunting from the Brushton yards
to that at Williamsburg blocked the
crossing. Waiting until it had cleared
the tracks Bachelor, who was at the
steering wheel, started across. Just at
this moment Elmer Bachelor, brother
of Edward, reached the scene and waved
to his mother and called to her a CHEEKY
greeting.
AS he did so, he saw the fast express
laundering toward the automobile. Too
dazed to call to them a warning, he saw
the heaviest express train on the Penn
sylvania system drawing seven express
and two passenger cars strike the motor
car fairly in the middle, shoot it ahead,
catch it again and grind it into bits. -

Reckless Chauffeurs.

Mayor Roberts has taken commend
able step in emphasizing the necessity
of greater care on the part of chauffeurs,
particularly in turning the corners of
our streets. We have seen autos come
round corners at speed which would
have made an accident inevitable in the
case of team or another auto coming
in an opposite direction. And owners
are often as culpable in this direction as
those who i'll their employ have the
direct manipulation of the machine.
The Rutland News makes the following
timely comment:
Parts of headlines from a single
column of New York paper yesterday
make up an eloquent story; Four killed
in auto by train at grade. Auto kills
unknown man. Two autos in collision;
one demolished and its occupants hurt
while the other rolled on freely Auto
runs over farmer; when wagon is
smashed he is thrown under speeding
machine. Collector Egan's auto hit
young woman injured internally in col
lision with trolley car.
If we could know how many auto
accidents occur throughout the country
in any single day we would be astound
ed. 1t is time for all authorities to
adopt the most stringent measures to
enforce the speed laws, especially at
street corners. Burlington Free Press,

When one speaks of California. Yo-
semitic Park naturally comes to mind.
As long ago as 1864 an act of Congress
granted Yosemite valley and the Mari
posa big tree grove to the State of
California for public use and recreation.
The Legislature of California by the
act approved March 3, 1908, receded the
jurisdiction and ownership of this tract
to the United States and only since
June II, 1906, has the management of
Yosemite National Park been under the
control of the federal government. The
entire park has an area of about. SO bv
DO miles. Yosemite valley. which is the
most frequently visited part, is about
seven miles long and three fourths of a
mile wide. In the center of this valley
is a level parklike meadow. through
which runs the MERGED river while on
either side the mountains rise, steep
and precipitous, to a height of 4 GOO feet
above the floor Of the valley Numer-
our streams drop from the edge Of the
cliff to the valley below.
The first of these to be seen as the
tourist enters the valley is the Bridal
Veil A stream fully 80 feet wide falls
distance of 600 feet, then rushes over
a sloping pile of debris, and then drops
perpendicularly 300 feet more. From
the points from which it is generally
viewed it seems to make only one
plunge, and the general effect is that of
fall 800 feet high.
In Yosemite, the Sequoia and the
Gen. Grant National Parks are found
the groves of big trees whose equal are
seen nowhere else in the world. These
trees grow to a height of $40 feet and
have circumference of more than 100
feet at the base, the bark sometimes
exceeding 40 inches in thickness. In
the Mariposa grove the road extends
through the base of one of these trees
and a coach and four is regularly driven
through this tunnel in the tree without

traveller approaching Mt Rainier passes
through areas in which the climate and
the vegetation range from temperate to
Arctic. The lower valley is thickly
covered with fir, hemlock and cedar,

floor is covered with moss and litter
of fallen branches and decayed wood.

afternoon to take two young women
friends for drive through Central
Park. After leaving the park his hat

avenue. While he was trying to re-
cover his headgear the footing of the
horn of an automobile frightened the
high spirited animal attached to the
runabout and he started up Fifth avenue
at high rate of speed.

ened horse, but before the animal was
captured by policeman at 124th street
and Morris Park West eight persons had
