Two Kinds of DANCER.

Familiarity with danger sometimes
breeds contempt for it.. 1t is a Curl
GUS fact that employees who are en-
gagged in work that involves peril OF
fire or explosion have to be restrained
by strict regulations for their own
good. But fire and explosion are not
the only hazard. Some of the insti-
tutions that seem farthest removed
from danger are really places of cor
siderable hazard. A small private bank
In the village OF Charleston looked
about the last place in the world
where an inmate might consider him
self in danger, but danger was there.
The temptation to enjoy a smoke at
the risk of lives and property and the.
loss of employment to 100 fellow-crea-
lures differs only in form from the
temptation to grow rapidly rich by I'M
lawful use of money deposited by
trusting fellow-citizens for safe keep
ing, a small rate Of interest and the
promotion Of the business welfare of
the community.

FLAWS EMPLOYEES.

Are Held.

New Haven, Sept. 17.-Three en-

ner Mix to be criminally responsible
for the disastrous wreck at New

or and fiaglnan. respectively, of the
Bar fIarbor train.
The coroner neither blames nor alb

finds the signals were in perfect or
der and whether the banjo signals
are obsolete or not, the accident
would have been prevented if the
~company's rules had not been violat-
ed - He declares the number of VIC
lations Of rules by employees makes

Engineer Is Arrested.
Engineer Miller was arrested on a
bench warrant and pleaded not gull
ty before the superior court.
Bench warrants have been issued
for Adams and Murray. 1t is said
they will be brought into court to-
day.
In his finding the coroner says Of
Engineer Miller:
The lives of a large number of
people were III his care and he was
in duty bound to take no chance and
incur no risks. Engineer Miller was
aware the late train was ahead and
that it was imperative and his duty
TO have had his train under perfect
control, ready Il stop at a signal of
danger. Miller approached
the banjo signal, set at danger, just
north of the wreck, at a reckless rate
of speed"
Says of Other Conductor.
Regarding Conductor Adams of tho
Bar Harbor express, Coroner Mix
says:
1t was clearly his duty (after the
train had been stopped) TO get away
from danger at once and clearly his
duty to have left a competent flag
man behind and at once proceed"
OF Flagman Murray of the Bar Har-
Dor express, the coroner says:
1T is claimed that he did not have
time to go back the required distance
before being called in by a signal CIV
EN- by the engineer and before he
could place his torpedoes and light
his fuse. From all the testimony, |
find directly to the contrary. He did
not go out Immediately when the
train came to a stop. He did not
