important Railroad Decision.

A brakeman on q freight train has
no right to remove a trespasser, under
a decision by the supreme judicial
court of Massachusetts in Harrington
VS.. Boston. The court said it has
never beer decided before that such
is the law Of the commonwealth, and
there is a conflict of authority in decl.
sions from other states. Those favor
ing the rule do SO IN the theory that e
brakeman in charge of a car Is a serT
ant of the railroad charged with au
thority to remove trespassers there
from. Those opposed maintain that
the doctrine is not applicable to the
case of a freight train where there is
a conductor, who is the person pre-
sumabiy in charge of the train, and
for this reason giving the brakeman nc
authority over the passengers or the
collection of fares. The Massachusetts
court concludes: "On the whole, we
think that OH principle and the weight
Of authority the proposition that in a
case like the present there is a pre-
sumption that the brakeman as such
is vested with authority to remoys
passenger is not sound"

TOT the OHPnSe.
DO not believe that a train can al
ways be heard. 1t cannot. For this
reason people are killed People think
they can hear the noise of a train
when it is far away. A lot of these
people have been struck by locomo-
tives when an instant before they
would have taken their oath there was
not a train within half a mile OF them.
The noise made BY a last railway
train is chiefly directed away from the
train at the side. Comparatively a
small portion of the noise is projected
along the track in front Of the train.
AIRY other unusual noise at the same
time may divert a persons attention
from the noise made by an approach
irg train,
Another reason why trains may come
upon a person walking on the track
before he realizes their approach is .
quality that sound possesses in com
mon with other wave phenomena, al
though to a less degree, Of travelling
in straight lines. Thus a fast train
approaching a sharp curve on the con
cave side of which there is high ground
and on the convex side a broad plain
will give a person on the curve almost
no warning Of its approach until II
swings into view, a short distance
away.
Walking on a road with two or more
tracks is particularly dangerous. A
large portion of accidents to trespass
ers occur on double-track roads where
a man in getting out OF the way o.
one train steps onto the other track II
'front.' Of another train which he has
not seen OF heard.
It seems worth while. therefore, t
