REPORT ON RAIL SIGNALS MADE,
.Congress is Given, Resist or inquiry
into saiety uevices.
' t .Washington. An" elaborate report
has been submitted to congress by the
1 UIOCK B!IJtU uuu uaiii CUUI1UI uutliu
of the Interstate-commerce commis
sion. DurinK.thc last year the board
examined the specifications of 371 de
vices; 248 of these being block signal,
cab signal or automatic train-stopping
devices. Only 12 of the devices were
considered to possess sufficient merit
to warrant the board In authorizing
the Inventors to establish a working
Installation with a view to conducting
ti'Sts at the government expense.
In Its Investigation of the telegraph
Mock system the board finds many of
the block signal men In the l ulled
.States are lacking In training and in
experience. Here and there the board
nas rouna instances or tne employ
ment of men whose incompetency was
manifest and lu some cases there has
linen evidence of I he excessive use it
intoxicants. 4 '
, In Its investigation In Kurope the
r board found that the signal men. a a
rule, are better trained than those lit
America and that the system la oper
ated under a stricter personal suner
Wslon. So far as th.2 safety devices
themselves are concerned. It Is be
lieved by the board that little Is to be
learned by the American railway man
nrers from a study of Kuiopvun rail
ways.
Telephones recently have been; ex
tensively Introduced in lieu of the tele
graph In block signaling, and It has
been .fouund that they . operate ad
mirably. ,-. ..
The board, had received many com
plaints concerning the alleged sup
pression of Important Inventions by
powerful corporations and associa
tions to the detriment of , the travel
ing public and to pecuniary harm to
individuals.

Miss Livingston on October 6. ISO1!,
began to advert Ue for a husband. She
stated that she was 36 years old and
good looking, that she had a farm In
the town of Colburn, and money in

he maintained that if it heratix a
custom for women to advertise for
husbands there would be greater
chances for happiness in married llf".
beause by this means a woNmn could
tret out of her.r.nrrow home village or
city spuere ami search tne eua.o
world for her idlinity. ,
Miss Livingston's ' announcement
was printed In newspapers In 'all parts
of tbe United .States, and some of tl.o
Mexican and Canadian, and European
tapers also took It up.' Consequently
proposals came from men in every
walk of life residing In the two con
tinents. December 31 she hud received about
1,000 proposals for marriage. Fhe
tben proceeded to classify ami eliniri
ate the candidates, and finally decided
upon Mr. Struvans, a prominent !r
Chester man, as her atllnlty.
