Ran by Signals.

According to an official statement,
given out by the railroad, the iDdica-
tons are that the engineer OF the
second section ran by both the distant
and home signals.
The Springfield express was the
same train that was in the wreck at
Westport, Conn, last October, in
which eight persons were killed and
scores injured. This wreck was
caused when the engineer ran by sig
nails.
The first section Of the train which
made up at Boston reached here on
time, but was halted momentarily to
change powers from steam to electric.
While awaiting orders to proceed the
second section rounded a curve at
high speed and crashed into the last
Pullman car. The engine plunged
through the car for 40 feet. This car
was we'll filed and that more persons
were not killed outright is considered
miraculous.
simultaneously with the crash the
wreckage took fire and the city depart
ment was called out The blaze was
easily extinguished and the work OF
rescue begun at once.

herty put on the air brake, but it did
not seem to work, it was stated, and

which was struck, the engine ploughed
twothirds through the car. Griggs,

PIA PROBLEM
READILY SOLVED

What to do with pins when wonl-
an is at the sewing machine is some
times puzzle. The usual small
cushion which is kept at the side of
work to be convenient when one
wants to take out the pins as she IS
stitching. Worse yet is the prac
tise of throwing them carelessly upon
the machine, for they are liable to
fall upon the HooT, making extra
work, The pin tray which is used BY
many is satisfactory Is some ways
but the objection to it is that the
pins cannot be picked up SO quickly
as they may be from a cushion, and
If # is pushed or Jared from the ma
chine, much time is wasted in pick
ing up the pins.
IN walking through a shirtwaist
lfactory some time ago there was seen
"a simple little scnntrivance which soly-
ed this problem perfectly. A long
piece of flannel was wound round the
arm Of each machine where it would
not interfere with the wheel or the
thread, and just thick enough to make
d good cushion. The strip of flannel
was three inches wide, and the length
required depends upon the thickness,
with ordinary: flannel or outing fan
mel three quarters of a yard would
be sufficient. After it Is wound, It
may be- pinned or sewed underneath
the arm where it will not show, and
the f-ept Of IL used for pins and the
back OF me cushion for needles. Since
the trip to the factory this little de.
yIee has been tried by several home
land professional dressmakers, and
mas proven SO satisfactory that they
