It Is statsd that the New York Central railroad authorities have usued an order directing atl signal tenders to stand on tbe track for five minutes after each train had paesed, with a red light or flag, and after five minutes have elapsed to stand five minutes longer displaying a green signal. No trains dare run by the red signal, bence the chances ia the case of accident are materially lessened by this arrangement. This action is taken as a result of the Palatine Bridge some time ago.
