It was found necessary to station a policeman at tho crossing to prevent the progress of travel (rom being retarded as wo.li as to keep people off tbe track.

The crowd was commenting freely upon the question of responsibility In tho The general Impression to be that the switchman was always known to be faithful to his duty, but that be had more to take core of than shoukl devolve upon one man. Hs was obliged not only to flag the crossing, but tend to switches on the east and west side of the streei, and in so doing It was necessary for'frim to leave the street very quickly sometimes, before he nail siir- ucleut time tu warn poaserb-by. Station- Keeper Strong thought trains were sometimes run fast otross the street. He did uot think train Wednesday night was going too fast, though he beilfved the company would have to po a good ways to flnd good a switchman, as the one Dow employed. believed thn public were very careless about rushing the crossing, and sold only a day or two ago switchman hod told him that people would ruoover him when ho attempted to stop their croeaiog before comini: train.
