AX AUTOMATIC BLOCK SYSTEM. How tbo I'einij vania Itontt Run Trains Without Serioim Accidents. Tho Pennsylvania Railroad company operates its lines Between Now York and Philadelphia and for some distance outside of Philadelphia and Pittsburg by moans of an automatic block system, said to furnish much better protection than tho block system used on Long Island, which depends upon towermeu, who may fall nsloep. The supervisor of signals on tho New York division of tho road thus describes the working of tho automatic block: The principlo of it is that signals are thrown to tho danger position automatically by a train entering tho block which tho signal controls, and are returned automatically to the position indicatidg that the block is Wear ns soon as the train loaves the block. The average length of tho blocks is about one half of a mile.

There lie was visited by several political and personal friends, who congratulated him upon his robust nppearunee. A Report in Faror of 'JTIicir Proposed Road Across York. Tho East River Bridge company, which proposes to build bridges from Broadway and Hudson avenue, in this city, to tho Bowery, near Grand street, Now Y'ork, has secured a report in favor of its being granted tho right to build elevated railroads on tho streets of Now York, from the terminus of its bridges to Wost street, Now Y'ork, connecting with tho various elevated railroads In that city.

Those commissioners wero appointed by the supromo court of Now York last May to examine this question: Adam H. Jolino, Samuel W. Milbank and Thomas L. Jnme3. Their report, just mado, says, in part: Tho provisions of the rapid transit and the conditions imposed by the common council "of the city of New York and the aeceiitnno of those provisions and conditions by the petitioner, will, if the elevated railway in question be built, give to the public an uninterrupted trip over both the railway and bridges for the single fare of 3 cents, enabling passengers to reach a certain point at a saving of 2 or 3 cents per trip.

The utility of the proposed bridees will be greatly enhanced by a direct connontion with the various railway and transportation lines in tho city of New York. With thesj general facts in mind, the spociflc'ob jections may be separately considered. The commissioners are of the opinion that it would be unreasonable to require, as a condition to granting a consent to tho construction of the proposed lines, that tho entire amount sufficient to defray the whole cost of the road and bridges should bo subscribed or paid in advance. he testimony suffi; ciently establishes the fact that the petitioning If tho arrangements for tho labor day parade are carried out according to tho plans adoptod at the suggestion of Grand Marshal John J.

The differ I enee between the two systems is in the opera tion of tho signals. In our new system the mo tivo power by which it is automatically operated is compressed air. This is furnished by air compressors loeutod nt both ends of the sys tem. Tho compressed air is conductod to tho signals. by means of two inch nir pipes laid throughout the entlro length of the lino to which i the system is applied.

It is siguillcant as presaging a peaceful and altogether unarehistio demonstration that no corporation is proceeding in good raith, ana represents such a substantial money interest as to warrant a reasonable expectation that it will complete its enterprises. The amount of stock at present subscribed for and paid in is not merely nominal, but is sufficient for the present requirements of the company.

Tho richest plum is that or sheriff, for which are any number of: candidates. Daniel Ryan, the "Eighth ward leader, is in the van at the present time, but by many it is thought that tne nomination will go to some strong German in tho eastern district.

Personally thero is no opposition to Mr. Ryan. Ho is regarded as an honest and strong man. but it is argued that South Brook lyn will be well represented on the ticket in tho i mayor aud two or three senators. Supervisor at Kinkel has not intimated whether he desires a renomiuation.

To morrow tho emperor will start for Sletz, where preparations Have been completed to make his entry a veritable march of triumph. This demonstration has considerable significance. It is not a mere coincidence that the German emperor and the Italian crown prince appear in Mete almost exactly on the anniversary of Sedan.

Be of tho parade, and while there may be numbers of socialists in tho march, their identity will i.e lost in the organizations of which they are members and the red flag is to be rigidly tabooed. Tho loaders of the movement for a monster parade do not agree as to tho numbers that may turn out, but, according to the ilgures attainable by Chief Aid Rosenkrnnz, men are expected to be in the line. Tno column, with its escort of mounted polico under Sergeant Cole, will move from the corner of Lafayette avenue and Cumberland street on the minute of o'clock tomorrow morning, and tho march will be straight up Lafayette avenue to Bushwick; thence to Harman street and Myrtle avenue to Ridgo wood grove, where the rest of the day will bo spent in merry making and in listening to addresses on topics that interest laboring mon. In tho live divisions all of the trades unions afHI iatod with tho Central Labor union will be represented and all of them will carry their own distinctive banners and most of them have ea gaged bands or fife and drum corps.

Beside tnese the other tradesmen who are magnet on tne signal eylmuer. mo rails oi me track of each block are insulated from the rail3 of the adjoining blocks by means of fibre placed between the joints of the rails. The rails aro charged with a low current of olectrieity. When there is no train on tho block the current from the rails is conducted to a relay, which puts into action a stronger battery which in its turn operates the magnet on tho signal cylinder. The charging of this magnet opens a valvo which allows of the admission of the air into tho signal cylinder, as bo.oro described, and forces the signal to the 'clear' position.

When the block is occupied, the current on the rails is short circuited through the wheels cago platform meant release Irom tho imposition oi the robber barons of protection: that American manul'acturors did not need protection; that tin workingman got none ot th benefits of protection, and that none of tho factories would close nor would any of the American workmen be thrown out of employment by the great increase of importations that would take place. I thought my people knew better but when the votes wero counted the rainbow hued oratory was found to have had its effect. The town had gone almost solidly Democratic. It wasn't any use kicking. I saw what was coming and just took and soaked it away in a trust company.

When the banks began to break and tho factories closed and tho hard times enms my customers oancellod their orders and I had to shut up.

Justice Sutherland held Lambley for trial on Monday.

There is something in Coney Island air that makes everybody except Chief McKane wicked. Reputable newspaper men who in tho oity write facts just as they are. lose all sense of accuracy while on the beaeh. Therefore tho ghost storio3 and publications ot" that nature. Tho stories printed in papers other than tho Eagle about the visitation of mosquitos have been very misleading.

One morning paper general plan of construction of the bridges and approaches thereto embodied in the petition is sufficiently definite for tho purposes of this application. The petitioners contend that there is necessity for the construction of the proposed elevated railway as a separate and independent enterprise, irrespective" of tho question of whether tho bridges shall be constructed or not. The commissioners ore n.it satisfied by the testimony that any such necessity exists. In order to warrant the commissioners in substituting their judgment for that of he property owners, they should be convinced that tne interest of the publie and the community at large require that tho proposed line of railway should be built, not withstanding mere local objections. The testimony does not convince thorn that tlier is anv pressing demand for a cross town elevated railroad at this particular point, unless it bo as an approach to the proposed bridge or bridtrei.

We do not, however, consider it necoisary for ns to determine that tho proposed bridge or bridges should be completed in advance of the construe 'ion of.the proposed elevated railway. We have baeu unable to find any statutory requirement that the construction of the approaches to the bridges should be deferred until the completion of the themselves. Tlie question of tho order of construction is one which we believe ma safelv bo leTt to the good judgment of the builders. The objection that Spring street is not an appropriate street through which to build the proposed railway, and that the construction of tho road through that street will came greater damage to the adjoining property than will be caused bv tho construction of a liko road through some other street is not well founded. The construction of the proposed connection, extending Irom the New York terminal of the proposed bridge to the Grand street ferry, is a necessary connection with tne important surface railroads running to houses which somewhat perilously cap the conventional foundations spiles.

Tile White house is on the right hand side of the out bound track of the Rocknway Beach roa 1.

Noll gra 1 uated from tho dignity of a blue coated guardian of the peace several years ago to assume the responsibility of proprietorship of a saloon on Atlantic avenue, near where Mrs. Vondersmith Uvea. lie s.ill owns this place, as well as his interest in the White house. Both the landlords of the latter are indi3nant over the published reports about Mr.

Edwards' supposed relations to the Voudcrsmiths. Their statements in connection with the case are borne out by half a dozen other men about Broad Channel. Said Mr. Dyer yesterday: 'The whole story is just this. Mr.

Edwards oamo here about the middle of July and he recognized Carr.o Vondersmith, who was helping her mother do the housekeeping, as ono of his old pupils whom he hadn't seen lor several He had nothing more to say to her than you or 1 would to a girl in her position. You can't llnd a man about the place hero with children of his own but will say the same thing. Well, a week ago Inst Saturday he started to tho city to buy some things ho needed, and it happened that Carrie Yonder smith was on the train. My partner had nt her away because her mother had been dismissed for drinking, and he didn't think a young girl like that should stay around here alone. Edwards back that night, while Carrie went, she said, to hor home in Brooklyn, where she found her mother aad hor crippled father in noed of money.

My bartender was with tho girl till she got to her friends in Brooklyn. I don't blame her for not wanting to roturn to her mother." Landlord Noll said: "I have boon a policeman Ipng enough to know when there's anything wrong going on in a ease like this.

I was around hero all the time and I know that Mr. Edwards was as straight as a string all the time. Ho had nothing to say to Mrs. Yonder smith and only very littlo indeed to Carrie, and then it was only what a principal of a school might be expo ted to say to an old pupil. How did Mrs.

Upon arriving Emperor William will proceed first to the military Held service, which will be hold in the presence of the whole Sixteenth army corps. Tho road which has been out Irom the station to the vast plain whore the service will be held is spanned by triumphal arches. In tho middle of the plain the groat imperial tent has been erected.

It is surmounted with an immense crown and has at the four corners golden eagles with wings outspread. After the field service the emperor will enter tho Metz gate leading to the Pariser strasse and will pass under arches and over flowers to the Tlace Espluuade, whore, under the shadow of his grandfather's figure in bronze, he will watch tho troops march past. All the municipal authorities, the usual company of maidens in white and bands of school children with flowers will welcome him formally to the city. At 3:30 o'clock the imperial party will depart for Urville, the emperor's new country house. Tho rain and high winds of Thursdny night injured some of tho decorations in Metz, but the damaee was repaired yosterday and there is promise of line wenthor to morrow.

The emporor of Austria Hungary left Isehl this morning to attend the maneuvers in Galieia. It was decided early in the week that ho should not leave Ischl until he should bo due at the Hungarian maneuvers which will begin on tno danger position. Any lanure in the air pressure, therefore, or any interruption in the circuit, will cuuso the signals to go to danger. A broken rail will interrupt tho traok circuits and also cause tno signals to assume the danger position. Tho only points heretofore at which the automatic system, when fully in operation, has come in contact with an intervening human agency are tho interlocking points; that is, switch points whero tho switches and signals are managed by an operator by means of tho interlocking machine; but even hero the automatic systom has iately been so extended that the operator in tho cabin is mechanically provonted from clearing his signals until tho block ahead is unoccupied.

"I have thus far only spoken of tho signals which govern the block immediately ahead of nn engineer. But the automatic system givos information not only of tho condition or that block, but oi the ono beyond it.

It is manifest that the existing bridge and ferries are insufficient to meet present requirements. If, as is contended, it will be to the local advantage of the city of New Y'ork to limit and restrict frto communication with the city of Brooklyn, it would seem to follow that an entire cessation of communication with that city would result benefits to tlie city of New York.

The press has raised such a clamor, however, about the exposure ol the troops in Gulicia to cholera and has reproached the government so bitterly for assembling a large force from the infected districts, that the emperor felt ho must show his willingness to brave all the perils to which ho subjected hi3 army.

Germany and Italy are tho only powers which will be represented by attaches at the mnneuvars. No other countries were invited to be represented. The district in which the operations wiil be carried out is swampy.rife with typnoid lover and dysentery and is bor uerod with what are known as cholera spots. Directing Surgeon Kowalski of tho Vienna hospital and the Vienna board of health warned tho government that military operations in such a region must tend to 6proad cholera. The only concession of the war ollleo, however, was to agree not to call out the reserves from places known to be effected.

Buruors have reached Berlin that cholera has already appeared among the troops marching to the field of the manouvers.

"It has been seen that when there Is any failure in the operation ot tho automatic apparatus, tho home signal inevitably assumes, through the action of gravity, the danger position.

In order to prevent a congestion ot trains on tho road in an event like this, permission is givon to the engineer, after bringing his train to a full stop and waiting ono minute before a danger signal, to go ahead with great caution, expecting to find a train in the block. After careful consideration we have come to the conclusion that ono minute is long enough. The point Is to got the engineer to come to a full stop. After that thero is no danger in his proceeding slowly, with momentary expectation of coming upon a train. If he finds that the trouble is in tho automatic apparatus, ho telegraphs the fact to the proper persons from the nearest station.

As in tho case of all new contrivances, there have been occasional failures ot the automatic apparatus, but as the signals thereby have b'en thrown to danger, there has been no breakdown of it as a safeguard, while the instruction to tho enginoers has prevented any serious delays. Shortly after the re organization of the Bo publican party the Third senatorial district began to receive attention from the leaders of wards embraced within its limits and largely because of the reason that Jacob Worth was represented as wanting it lor his friend and coworker, Assemblyman William J.
