The evidence before tho coroner's Inquest
over the body cf John C .Mendham, who
was killed In tho wreck here Wednesday
rvenlng, brought out some facts In modem
railroading. Engineer Livingston, who has
a record of thirty-three years of continuous
service, was asked by a Juror If he reversed
his engine. Ho replied "I did not. Tho
idea of reversing an engine, which Is sup
plied with driver brakes, In making an
emergency stop has been exploded In recent
years. Bach drlv'rr Is 'supplied with a
brakeshoc eighteen Inches long and six
Inches wide. When these are applied tho
Instant you reverse an engine you simply
cx'hapge all that brake power for a small
two-Inch bite upon the rail. If the drivers
were not provided with brake then It
would be" proper to reverse."
Another Juror asked him why he didn't
.answer the flagman's signal. "There are
, several reasons why I made no answer,"
replied Mr. Livingston. "When I first saw
the danger I knew at a glance that I could
not avoid striking them. An answer to
;the flagman would have conveyed a false
I Impression simply relieved their anxiety,
and by remaining silent they kne that 1
was either working with both hands or
else did not sec them."
1 C. J. Mullch, a brakeman, testified that
when he saw tho collision could not be
averted he Jumped on the caboorfe platform
and a second warning was given to tht
stockmen to leave the car. A Juror asked
him If he thought ho heard b' them.
'"Yes." he replied. "1 took particular pains
to emphasize my words and I know that
they heard me."

CONDITION OF cVlTOW TO BE IMPROVED

AkvIkiiciI for Supreme
Court MttliiK.
LINCOLN'. SInrch 9 (Special.) Governor
Dietrich, Adjutant General Klllan and
others paid a visit to the state penitentiary
today for thu purpose of maklnR a thorough
Investigation of the damage sustained by
the recent fire. As u rrsillt of this In
vestigation the governor's views In regard
to changing the location of the penllentlury
to some point where It could be surrounded
by from two to four sections of go'od farm
ing land, as expressed by hlni last week,
are somewhat chanced
"The damage to the building Is not
nearly so bad as I was led to believe at the
time 1 made those suggestions." said tho
governor, "and while I am still of the opin
ion that the suggestions made by me nt the
time of tho fire are practical I think, since
looking oer the ruins, that the damago
sustained by the fire Is not of such n nature
as to Justify such a change at this time.
I was led to believe that the damage was
much greater than It has provid to be, and
had such been the case I am still of the
opinion that It would be a wlso move on the
par of tho state to securo u large tract
of good farming land and erect a thor
oughly modern prison. The prisoners could
be employed at much more profit to the
atnto In farming than they arc at the pres
ent time, and with a penitentiary sur
rounded by a large tract of good land It
could, think, he made largely self-sustaining.
However, I do not think the state
l In condition to make such a change at
present. It would nbcus3ltatc tho sacrifice
of too much property whlctn at tho time
I made those suggestions, was supposul to
do entirely destroyed.
"What I would suggest now Is that the
old cell house, the one thai burned, be
placed under a new roof and temporarily
repaired bo that the convicts could be
kept there until the new coll house can
be equipped with modern steel cages, when
they could be moved there permanently
The new cell house I find Is not damaged
and It Is suttlciently large for tho ac
commodation of nil the prisoners and
should be fitted out with new cages of tho
most approved pattern. It Is estimated
that such equipment will cost from J50.000
to Jio.OCO, while the other repairs made
necessary by t&c fire will be In the neigh
borhood of J100.000."
.Not to He Neiit to Innn.
The governor was of the opinion that
tho prisoners could bo kept here and
guarded by a detachment of the militia at
less e.xpenso than It would require to send
them to othcrstctes for safe keeping while
tho new cell house Is being equipped. These
questions and others pertaining to repairs
at the prison wero discussed by tbo Iloard
of Public Lands and Hulldlngs nt a meetlns
held this morning, but aside from awarding
a contract for a temporary bako oven at
tho prison no action was taken.
Adjutant Oeneral Klllan announced to
day that hereafter the members of the
Lincoln company would bo relieved as
much as potslblc from duty at tho peniten
tiary by members of other companies.
Many of the Lincoln boys hold responsible
positions and It Is considered an Injustice
to them to keep them at the prison so much
of the time.
IniprorrniFnta nt Capitol.
By practicing the strictest economy lu
the expendlturo of the small appropria
tion that will bo allowed, the Stato Iloard
of Public Lands and Ilulldlngs hopes greatly
to lmprovo tho appearance and condition
of the state capltol building and grounds.
For all expenses, such as for heating,
lighting, repairing and refurnishing nnd
maintaining the grounds, the finance, ways
and means committee has recommended an
appropriation of $13,000 and tho Indica
tions arc that the amount will be allowed
by the legislature. Several plans for beau
tifying the grounds have been submitted to
tho board by Neal Grldln, custodian of
the building, and they will be carried Into
effect as soon as the appropriation becomes
available.
Of tho total appropriation recommended
$10,000 will be for tho current necessary
expenses of the building, leaving only J3,
000 for alterations nnd Improvements. The
largest Items of expenses are heating nnd
lighting, but not a small amount will go
to the Janitorial force.
Of tho changes contemplated and ap
proved by the board the most Important
will be the raising of tho footwalks on the
state houso grounds. Tho largo flagstones
will bo raised up to the top of the curbing
on the four approaches, or slightly above
the surface of tho lawn. As the walks
aro now arranged they form excellent
drainage ditches for snow and rain and In
bad weather aro worse than no walks at
all. Another Improvement will bo the con
struction of a green house on the capltol
grounds. This wilt be started on a small
! scale and in inch a way as to admit of
extensions.
The legislature of two' years ago appro
priated JIO.OM for simply repairing th
capltol bulldlug, but the only evidence of
the expenditure of this money for the pur
pose Intended may be found In the silver
coat on the dome and the varnish on th
corridor walls. Mr. Griffin expects to make
many lasting Improvements with an ap
propriation only one-third ns large.

The druggists throughout the state arc
