Pendleton, who acted as auctioneer of the bankrupt stock of the Bradford Grocery company, has a heart much larger than his bank ac- count, but he is ever on the alert to do a good turn for somebody, and doesn't make much difference to him as to the personality of that some- body, so long as the deed im worthy. The bankrupt stock was of the usual character found in the country grocery store, which included in addition to staple grooceries, Yankee.notions, un- derclothing, etc. A lot of children's underclothing was offered for sale The low bids did not suit Mr. Pendle- bonafide, and that this special stock wu'd go to the highest bidder, just 12 sam2 as all else that was offered for sale.

GENERAL FUNSTON GETS LETTER OF APPRECIATION Good From Secretary Garrison tor Work Done at Vera Cruz, . 25.—Secrétary rte 2 letter to Ma- Iunston expressing his and appreciation of the neral’s handling of the situation at ra Cruz during the American occu- on. Mr. Garrison’s letter will be o General Funston when he h his troops at Galveston tomorrow and is as follows: Dear General: Now that you and your command hfve returned afely to this country, I desire to ex- {» to the great appreciation that I have of the excellent service rendered by you ard the men under - General u vou while at Vera Cruz. “In many ways the situation there as difficult, if not more so, as actual warfare. The proper perform- of the duty called for self-re- t. coolness and judgment and discipline in the very highest degree The fact that during all the months vou occupied Vera Cruz there was not one untoward incident is of great sig- nificance. Any laxness of discipline or any carcless handling of the situa- tion might have precipitated cense- quences of a most disastrous char- acter. The skill and ability of the of- ficers and the discipline and exem- plary conduct of the troops. not only prevented any untoward incident, but reflected the greatest credit upon themselves and the country which they represented. “T desire to convey to vou and the officers and men of your command my warmest thanks and sincerest appre- ciation, “Sincerely yours, “LINDLEY M.

WILLIMANTIC TRAIN CDNTROL DEVISE GIVEN TR!AL On South Manchester Road Wednes- day—Appliance Said to Satisfy All Requirements. “Three yea wretched bearing down wa Willlam Macfarlane of Philadelphla, connected with the importing house of Henry W. Peabody company of New York, and a nephew ‘of James S. Mac- farlane, the silk manufacturer of Mans- field, who has bcen the guest for the past week of H. T. Clark at “The Ridges,” on the South Coventry road, is the inventor of the Macfarlane Au- tomatic_Train Control and Constant Signal System, an electrical applianca which is said to satisfy every one of the jSlehteen requirements of the N. Y, N. H. & H. R. R, as well as those laia down by the Interstate Commerce commission. . The device was tried out on a sec- tion of the track of the South Man- chester railroad Wednesday afternoon, through the kindness of the Cheney Brothers, and worked successfully, this being the first. time anyone has ever accomplished the feat, taking the elec- tric current from the rails, whilé the as on the track, and using volt current. Macfarlane is no electrician, and vet in the year which has elapsed since his first patent was obtained, has, it is claimed, done what the head elec- tricians of many of the largest roads in the country have contended is im- possible. Its Chief Points. The chief points in regard to the appliance are that it gives a continu- ous indication in the engine of the cab of the conditions in the block in which the train is running, and the two blgcks ahead, by means of red, green yellow or white lights as desired; that it automatically the train in caution blocks to any pre- determined number of miles per hour, but releases the brakes instantly when the block ahead is again safe; that it automatically stops the tra*w in danger zome; that it rediices the speea on dangeruus curves, cross-overs, etc., if so desired; that it may be used by the tower man to stop or regulate any train in his system; and that it com- forms to the eighteen requirements of the New Haven road and those of the Interstate Commerce commission. Cost of Operation Small. The cost of operation is said to be small, in fact, the amount of watts re- quired to lizht one train on such a road as the Jersey eCntral would op- erate the whole system of the road, so far as this devise is concerned. in- stallation is not very expensive, as all that is needed is the appliance in the engine and the substitution of a dif- ferent battery. Mr, Macfarlane was seen by The Bul- letin representative Wednesday, and voiced his gratitude to the Cheney Brothers for the way in which they had put their road at his disposal on ‘Wednesday, and given him every fa- cility to try out the appliance, which was a pronounced success. He sald that if it were possible to run a equipped with the device from Boston to New York, without an engineer, and only a fireman in the cab, with another train ahead of it, stopping as often as would a trolley car on the city streets. the engine so equipped would otop automatically every time the one ahead did so, start agaln when it did, and get into the Grand Central sta- tion exactly one minute behind the frst train, if that was the leeway pro- vided for in the rules of the road. Many other reasons were given why this appliance is far ahead of any which has ever been suggested, but space forbids setting them forth In detail. It {s enough to say that the clalm is made that the application of the brakes may be delayed for any de- | ‘termined number of revolutions, to al- low for breaks in the current, which ‘wonld otherwise automatically stop the train, that it can be used so as to stop & train, or simply slow it up to one or more miles an hour, thaat it will work nnder all weather conditons, that It can be installed for one quarter of the cost of any other proposed system, and that it is thoroughly workable, and did the work to satisfaction on Wed- Commerce Commission Interested. Mr, Mactarlane is in receipt of a let- ter from the Interstate Commerce com- mission with members of whom he has talked, which states that a representa- tive will be sent on to look into the of the m‘!x‘lm. now that he ion. ‘t was and in addition, although the sum of ten thousand dollars was offered to Personals.
