Dr. Burnett made no answer to the suit. Dr. and Mrs. Burnett have not lived to- gether for two years,-and before that time, for several years, they had not enjoyed do- mestic felicity.

TO WHITE ———— VISIT HOUSE Consideration of questions affecting rail- roads was resumed this morning at the second day's session of the tenth annual convention of railroad commissioners, held at the office of the interstate commerce commission. Reports were heard from the various state members as to the powers, duties and work of railroad commissions, which were, in effect, statements of what had been done by the commissioners during the past year and the general railroad con- ditions in the respective states. It was evident from the reports made Bargains at Johnston’ Every dollar's worth and every cent’s worth of goods you purchase at our great Stores are guar- anteed. z that one of the questions that is absorbing the attention of those who have to do with the regulation of railroads is the one of grade crossings, especially in cities. The increase of the rapid trensit electric roads was mentioned as tending to bring this question to the front. As a rule, the com- missioners expressed the opinion that all such crossings shold be made either by elevated or depressed tracks. The. inter- locking system as a means of protection for grade crossings was referred to, and Mr. R. 8. Kayler, the commissioner from Ohio, mentioned a case in Cincinnati where an attempt was made to protect a grade cross- ing by such method. He said on one occa- sion the motorman brought his car to the crossing and the conductor ran forward to move the tracks, but could not do so, for the reason that a railroad train had en- tered the section. The motorman, wever, became con- fused and ran his car on the track and it was cut in two by the steam engine. There was only one passenger on board, and there was no loss of life as the result of this ac- cident. This incident was used to illus- trate the importance of doing away with grade crossings, even when such supposed safety device as an interlocking system was in use. Elevation and Subway. In the report from Pennsylvania, made by Mr. James W. Latta, he stated that searcely any roads within the suburban limits of the larger cities now cross rail- ways at grade, and with elevation and sub- the difficulties of street travel have been greatly relieved. Outside the ‘arge citfes, he added, notably on the main line of the Pennsylvania railroad, the grade crossing for many miles has disappeared entirely. He quoted from the report of the superintendent of the bureau of railways for the year ending June 30, 1897, to show thet the us? of the bicycle is a prolific scurce of the rediiftipn in the receipts of many street railway companies. Asa result of an observationsmade for two days on a street in Harrisburg..Pa., it was found at of the total number of persons pass- ing about €8 per gent:4vere on whec!s and 2 per cent in stréat étrs. The chairman was authorized to appoint a committee to mke a report upen the original ecst of railro: The representative vermont. Mr. Ted §.

It was also"te cars should come. to a full stop at a po! fifty feet from the track. In some states, he said, grade crossings were prohibited by law,’ and he thought it would be a publi advantage if suca a law were enacted gen- erally. Uniformity In Returns, A resolution was adopted, offered: by the ecmmittee on railroad statistics, author- izing the committee to prepare forms and data looking to a uniformity in returns of railroad statistics to the intersiate com- merce commission. A resolution was also offered by Mr. Isaac B. Brown of Pennsylvania, which recited that grade crossings are the most prolific causes of accidents in the opera- tion of steam and electric railroads, and therefore the chairman of the convention be authorized to appoint a committee of five to prepare a bill providing for the abo- lition of all existing grade crossings, and to prevent the creation of grade crossings. The cormittee, it was provided, was to make a report at the next meeting of the convention, with the view of having a bill presented to the various state legislatures. In the discussion which followed some of the members, while favoring the resolu tion, especially if it resulted in the aboli- tion of the dangerous grade crossings, were of the opinion that it would be impossible for the proposed committee to frame a law that weuld be applicable to the conditions in all the sta It was brought gut that in some states laws already existed for the abolition of grade crossings, ,the exp2nse to be met by the state, by the locality and the railroad companies. But the improvement in same cases was left optional with the ies ramed, In other states, it was said, nt power exisicd for making such improvements, but the cost sometimes pre- vented. The resolution was adopted. Defecia in Law. The report of the committée on legisla- tion was read. by Mr. Edward A. Mosele: the chairman, which called attention to the defects in the law and suggested some remedies for existing evils. ‘fhe report recommended that laws be made so as to provide for 4 more specific method of enforcing rates, requiring public carriers to Keep their books open to public officers, especially showing the cost of the Property and the details of the various transactions, and providing more perfect machinery to enforce the criminal clauses of the laws in regard to common carriers. There was some question raised as to the in.-mediate adoption of this report, or post- Fenement of its consideration, the chair- man having stated that he had been un- able to get the committee together, and the report was the expression of his individual views. Some opppditien was expressed to some of the views: he report, and after discussion it wag ,decided to postpone action upon the reporé until the afternoon session. gal Shortly before 1 forock the convention took a recess and’Lreteeded in a body to the White House, ¢ the members were received by fous ave the me It is probable the ognyention will finally acjourn at the co apr the session this afternoon. Afternoon Session Yesterday. At the afternoofy séision of the conven- tion yesterday some reports of special com- mittees were recel¥ed,,put they were large- ly of technical intarest: In reporting upon the classification jpstruction expenses, A. K. Teisberg of Minnesota eapressed the desire that the roads of the country so classify their Sieeiction expenses as to enable the commissioners to obtain a more comprehensive idea of them than ‘was now possible. A lively dlecussion was precipitated over the question of thé powers, duties and work of the rail commissioners, in the course of which it was developed that rail- roads generally regarded the orders of the commissioners as merely “advisory.” Sev- eral cases in which the authority of the commissioners. is one being tested in the “seg Pigs acaourtwrgd ie fosep! ‘ot yuri ui con- or Indore Ane arbitration Abia ada , which. is now peeing. ‘Dellore the Sen- ate, having already passed aie House of Representatives.
