coach was on fire. The engineer
put on extra steam, and running
past the depot stopped at the
water tank two hundred yards
beyond. When the water pipe
was lowered and water turned
on, II was seen the blaze could
not be reached, and some of the
crew secured axes and mounting
to the top of the coach soon made
q large opening, and the water
turned in. The passengers were
for time discounted, and had
to take refuge in another car.
After the blaze had been extin-
guished the train was backed to
the depot and passengers taken
on, and it proceeded on its way.
DR.. @. B. Woodard of Spring
field, is in receipt of information
from parties in New York stating
that a bill, which means the
adoption of an exit door recently
patented by him, has become a
law. DR.. Woodland has made
several trips TO New York in the
interest of his door and will in
the near future leave for that
city, where he will organize q
a large stock company to manu-
facture and place on the market
the door he had patented. The
law enacted in New York requir-
es all factories, amusement
houses and other public places to
install the latest and safest exit
doors at once. The commission
ers who have the enforcement of
this law in charge have declared
DR.. Woodard's door the best in
existence, it is said, and will
have them installed in that state,
which, of course, means that the
sale there alone will be great
enough to make the door a sue
cess.
