GOSSIP OFTHE COURTS
YFIAEEUR

Comparatively few people know of the
rigorous precautions taken by British
railway managers to insure the safety of
the king when he travels on their lines.
When King George goes to Balmoral all
that the public knows is that "the royal
train left Euston and reached Aberdeen
and then Ballater in so many hours,
after a speedy and safe trip But the
journey of 600 miles means the success
ful accomplishment OF an elaborate
scheme of arrangements in which not
only the chief officials Of the line and
the crew Of the royal train but nearly
every employe on the route has had some
share.

partwe. OF passing through every sta
tion. and of the arrival at Ballater ter

and copy together with special list
of general instructions is placed in the
hands of every person who may have
some work to do in connection with the
running of the train, way down to the
switch and tlagmen. These men are or

tains general directions as to speed. en-
phasizing the necessity of travelling with
great caution over sharp curves and
through functions and past crossings and
impressing the fact that an absolutely
clear road must be kept for the royal
train.
When Queen Victoria used to travel
from Windsor TO Bslmoral. gold bor-
dered time table was provided for her
use. II showed the mileage and hours

valleys all the way TO Ballater, which is
Cos miles above sea level.

ways accompany the royal train SO as
to be on the spot in the event of any
thing unforeseen happening. On one oc-
casion. when Queen Victoria was on her
way back from Balmoral, the engine
driver Of her train was killed near
Aberdeen. He had to 60 to the tender
lof his engine for some purpose, and
while passing under a bridge his head
struck the arch. But the train was not

When Thomas Mccorkle, whose body was buried
here yesterday in his prime he had a host Of
good friends in Wilmington ane participated actively
and benehciay in civic and commercial affairs.
There was glneral regret when. years ago his health
failed and he left Wilmington in what proved TO be
futile effort to obtain restoration Of his physical and
mental powers. Mr.. Mccorke was man Of genial per-
sonality and untirng energy and thousands of VIII

membrance That is particularly true Of men who

BY FLAEEUR.

Everything that human Ingenuity can
devise Is done to avoid accidents. Fif-
teen minutes in advance of the royal
train runs a pilot engine so that If
there is any danger ahead or anything
wrong with the track timely warning
VIII be given. Still even then, ac-
cidentally or designedly, the line
could be blocked after the passage
of the pilot engine. and before the
arrival of the royal train. but that
Toe would be impossible. for the in
tervening space, at distances not ex-
ceeding a quarter of a mile, is guard
ed by a line of trackmen with haRd
signals. Each man on his beat care
fully examines the track before the
royal train approaches. (This pre-
caution is not needed in Germany, nor
pilot train. as the track on all rail-
roads there is patrolled day and night
by men who are housed in cottages
a mile distant and who must salute
the conductor, who sits in an elevat-
ed observatory watching the track
independently of the engine driver.
The salute is the regulation military
neutrality-suspicious. by day
and lantern swinging by night. If
the man is not at his post the train
is stopped at once).
Each keeps within sight Of his fell
low on either side This living link
of workmen stretches all the way
from London to Ballater, i'm the
Deeside Highlands, and is quite on
the same order as the precautions
taken in Russia for the Car.
But with all these elaborate pre-
cautions, the anxiety of the railway
managers is not quieted. The line on
which the British King travels is
kept under surveillance for at least
ten miles ahead, the distance over
which The engine pilot heads the way.
For there is the possibility that a
train passing In an opposite direction
may be wrecked within the ten-mile
guard limit and obstruct the royal
progress. Therefore, within this
radius traffic is temporarily sus-
pended. but only at the precise hour
at which the royal train passes. For
thirty minutes before il is due TO pass
a given point no engine, train, or
vehicle is allowed to proceed along
or across the line. For a similar
period all switching or shunting
operations on lines adjoining the
main line of traffic must be stopped.
In the early days of Queen Vic
toria's Journeys to Scotland no trains
or engines were permitted TO travel
between any two stations from the
time the pilot engine was due to the
time the royal train had passed; but
this drastic order has been modified
since in favor Of passenger trains and
of trains hauling fresh fish to market
But these trains, when nearing any
point toward which the royal train
is advancing, must lower their speed
to not exceeding thirty miles an hour
Nor must there be any steam whis.

LET'S GET ACQUAINTED

INA y ALL
FOm the Newark Post.
Thankful indeed that we are unlike
the pessimist who cracked off the
epigram that the more he saw of men,
the better he liked his dog" The more
we see of men, the more we like them;
the better acquainted we are with
men, the more we like TO do business
with them. the more successful we
are in doing business with them. We
make money off our friends. because
they understand us better than our
enemies.
Foreign trade is always a difficult
proposition. We like TO deal with
friends, folks we know and under
stand. We know their pecularities
and isms and they know ours. We
can get together quickly because of
the confidence we have in each other
All development and improvement is
based on Confidence. All business is
the result of Confidence. And Conf
dence is formed on acquaintanceship.
BY this we sense our common inter
ests. Then Reciprocity-and there we
have 1t. Upon Reciprocity all sue
cess is based
This Chamber of Commerce who
paid us an all too short visit on last
/ Thursday has struck the key note
for Delaware and Del-marvan, i'm
lprovement. They are inviting them
selves (shame on us) to visit us. They
realize that what most of all is needed
on this peninsula is knowing each
other. They are realizing that what
Us of vital Importance to us is
peculiarly of interest to them. They
are showing us that their advance
ment is Of practical concern to us.
The more we see of Wilmington
business men, the more we like them.
They are just like our folks. In fact
many of them are our folks. Their in.
terests are our interests II we can
lonly realize It in friendly, practical,
icommon-sense way.
Far too long has there been a feel
ing OF strangeness. often antagonism
between Wilmington and the rural
lsections We have too long felt that
Wilmington was In some way trying
to take superior advantage and re-
Trained from giving neighborly sup

MEXICAN DEPUTIES
ARE UNDER ARREST
Men Who Criticized nuerta
Thrown into Prison.
SOLDIERS FILLED CHAMBER
After signing Resolution Of lnvesaioa-
ton ITO Of the Deputies Were
Placed Under Arrest-A
Huerta Critic MISSING.

The City Of Mexico, Oct. 11.-One
hundred and ten members of the
chamber of deputies who had signed
resolutions Of warning to President
Huerta as the result of the disappear
ance of DR.. Belisaro Dominguez. sena-
tor for Chiapas, were arrested and put
in the penitentiary.
Five other deputies who signed the
resolution were absent when a Gordon,
Of troops was thrown about the legis-
lative building and several hundred
soldiers invaded the chamber.
The deputies took their arrest calm
ly, making no protest, but many were
pale and showed their agitation plain
ly. After all had been arrested, Fran
cisco Chavez, chief Of the secret police.
entered the chamber and announced
that the president had ordered the
arrest of all except the Catholic mem
bers, who might go to their homes.
When arrested, some of the deputies
appeared at the windows of the build
ing, and when the dense crowds in the
streets saw them. they cheered them
and cried:
Our hearts are with you, deputies!'
Tremendous excitement in the
streets finally caused the soldiers to
charge the crowds and drive them
back with cavalry, using the flat sides
of their sabers. The streets were
cleared for several blocks and all ap-
proaches to the building We're held by
soldiers, including artillery.
Great excitement prevails through
out the city. Enormous crowds are
making their way to the quarter where
the chamber is situated and all streets
leading to it are held by the artillery.
No one is permitted to pass.
The arrests followed demand by
President Huerta that the chamber
withdraw the resolution, which carried
the threat that the deputies would
abandon the capital owing to an al,
legged lack of guarantees for their
personal safety.
