GASOLINE COACH 0N
 BERLIN BRANCH LINE
Steam Train Supplanted After Nearly Fifty
 Years

Tie New York. Now Iiavrn x
 Hartford Railroad Co.,. today m,ro-
 4uced an innovation on the New
 britain-Bcrliu branch line in Inc
 form Of a gasoline car to suppluut
 Inc steam locomotives and coaches.
 The change in the method of trans
 porting plssougers from this city to
 the junction on tho main line ol the
 railroad is the first taken hy the
 railroad company since tue line was opened about l5Su.
 The new vehicle will accommodate 37 passengers. There are seats for 92 people in the main vesibulo and accommodations for five more iu g.
 baggage compartment This com partment is situated at one end of the coach and is a spacious room for the transfer of trunks, smrcasps and larger articles.
 Ii requires only two mon to op- crate the car. one the operator and the other the conductor whose duties are twofold. the taking ot tickets and caring for the baggage. There are two control rooms. one at either end of inc vehicle. With tine change from the use of steam 10 rasoun. Frank Whalen and John EiesoI- brack, two veteran ba4gag.uen on this line, have been transferred to another division Of the railroad. Martin Conlon yesterday completed his service with the road.
 An inspection Of the engine room on the train gives to view the latest thing in motor-car construction. The vehicle is propelled by 8 EriIl-West- inghouse gasoline motor T. is 8 six cylinder affair with a 250-horsc- power capacity.
 The car is also equipped wirh a Westiughousa generator Of large size. In power it develops lGn lliIo- watts and G10 volts. II ganyr4jas its own electricity and furnishes inc lights for the compartment and for night running
 T. is operated from either and by one control over both the gasoline and electric portions of tho engine. The driver needs but to pull a han de down a notch and the engine starts going. He can give ir its speed or cut if off by the same operation. The car is also equipped with what is known as straight air brakes" the latest l known thing in railroad or trolley 1 service.
 The coach is of all-sfccl coustruc- i lion with standard railroad ,quip- ! ment. Trials on the run between { this city and Berlin this morning . demonstrated that inc car takes tbc l grade between Berlin and this city ! with eI

 There is a persistent rumor among he railroad men that inc "DiaNy' run between Bristol and Hartford will soon be supplanted by another gasoline train.

GRAVES OF DEAD
over THERE ARE
NOT FORGOTTEN
Will Be Hidden in Flowers
on Memorial Day, Word
From Paris.

Bu Times Special
PARIS, May 2S.-The graves of
those buddies who died In France
will be hidden in flowers this Me
mortal day.
For weeks employees of the Graves
Registration Bureau in Paris have
been busy trimming hedges and
planting new flowers in the GENE
teries at Bony, Romagnes Suresnes
and Belleau and all of these resting
places of the war dead present a
beautiful appearance today. On
Sunday trips will be made to each
one Of them and flowers will be
placed on every grave.
Decoration of all soldiers graves,
whether his relatives have communi-
Gated with the bureau or not, is
made possible through two funds.
American Legion fund, which this
year amounts to $5,932. The other
is from interest on $4,000 francs
which were contributed for war me-
mortal purposes by Americans liv-
ing in various parts of Europe.
#AThe war cemeteries Of France are
recoming more beautiful each year.
The shrubbery is taking size and the
cemeteries are losing much of the
appearance of newness that they
once had. Arrangements are being
made to place white stone or
French or Italian marble cross over
each grave instead of the wooden
ones which have been there since
the war This work will be COM
pleted during the coming summer.
About 800 families in the United
States have written or cabled special
requects for attention to individual
graves. Sums of money ranging
from SIS to $40 have been received
by the registration bureau and each
of these has been listed separately
In order that the family's wishes
may be carefully carried out.

Pocomoke Ball Club
Lacks Proper Punch

1t seem hard for the local base ball
team to break into the win column
Only one game this season stands to
their credit. They have played many
creditable contests which have been
lost by one or two runs, but the need
ed punch is not forthcoming when
hits mean runs.
Last Saturday they were over
whelmed by the Newark team, score
10 to 0. I've games are scheduled
with Chincoteague on the local
grounds today; but it is doubtful the
grounds will be in shape after the
days of rain.
The boys are to be commended fol-
their pluck in putting up the best
game always of which they are ca.
pable, and at times have furnished
good ball.

FIRE DESTROYS THE
MILL AT FRUITLAND

Fire Saturday morning last swept
the mill of the Long Lumber Com.
pany at Fruitland, bringing a loss
tentatively estimated at $4,000, about
so per cent of which is covered by in
surance.
The blaze consumed the mill prop
er, equipment, machinery and part of
the lumber stock. Valiant work of
the fire department of the town, as
sisted by the Salisbury department,
saved the warehouse, lumber yards
and nearby buildings.
The alarm was sounded shortly af-
ter three o'clock in the morning,
when flames were seen to burst thru
the structure of the buildings which
comprises the mill proper. Only
chemicals could be used as the town
is without water system.
When it appeared that the mill was
doomed and other buildings of the
neighborhood in the path of the
flames, assistance of the Salisbury
firemen was sought. Two chemical
trucks were despatched.
Unable to save the building in which
the fire was raging, firemen concen-
trated upon an effort to prevent the
spread of the flame through the lum-
ber yards and the warehouse.
Heat from the fire ignited three
freight cars on the siding. 1t was
necessary to cut through the roof of
one to extinguish the blaze.
Members of the firm stated that
they were unable to explain the origin
Of the fire. The conf1agration could
hardly have started at that time in
the night one official said, unless it
was of incendiary origin.

The annual pilgrimage to Old Green
Hill Church in Stepheny parish will

prayer and sermon, will be conducted

exception of the interior embellish-
ments which have been made within
the last two years.

DEMPSEY.& TUNNEY
MEET AT THE SESQUI
Failing To Secure Favorable Action
From New York License Com
mittee Results In Transfer

The big boxing contest between
Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney will
take place in the Stadium at the Ses-
quit Centennial grounds instead OF
New York, and September 28 is Sc
lected as the date for the coming to-
gether of the gladiators.
After vainly endeavoring to obtain
"a license for Dempsey to meet Tunney
in New York, Tex Rickard closed a
contract with the Philadelphia Off
cials, and posted $4,000 to bind it.
Rickard had obtained the approval
of the Athletic Commission of New
York for the bout, but was turned
down by the license committee. He
had determined to test the matter in
court, but thought better of it, and ex-
pressed himself as unwilling to drag
the Athletic commission into q litiga-
tion.
The meeting between the heavy
weights will have to be confined to o
limited number of rounds, according
to the laws of Pennsylvania, ten be-
ing the maximum. These will probably
be enough to settle the supremacy be-
tween these two hard-hitting pug
lists.
The Sesqui will draw a handsome
revenue from the exhibition, and no
doubt the funds will be very accept
able to the management of the big
show. It is also likely strenuous eff
forts will be made to prevent by prob
ably the same element that opposed
Sunday opening of the Exposition.

Lightning Strikes Edifice. Totally
Consumed. Bolt Descends 4
P. M. Last Saturday.
CONGREGATION TO
REBUILD AT ONCE

The Baptist Church at Girletree,
this county, was struck by lightning
on Saturday last, and entirely con-
sumed by fire.
The bolt descended about 4 O'Clock
P. NJ, and selected the steeple for ITS
objective point. The whole church was
soon ignited and the building itself is

Some of the furnishings of the
church were saved; there was some
insurance, but not sufficient, it is be.
lieved, to restore the structure as il
was. E. Fontaine, Pocomoke City

mount to be $4,000.

charge. He and his congregation will
take immediate steps to rebuild.
