THE BLOCK SIGNAL 111-
Cure for Death Dealing Collisions
Urged by Railway
Paper.
Referring to the wreck record
for October, the Railway Age
Gazette says of I he collision near
Gibnore Junction between Mis
souri Pacific trains on Octo
ber 15:
The most disastrous accident in
this list is I he collision which oc
curred at (lilmore Junction, Nidi.,
on the fifteenth, in which seven
persons were killed. This ac
cident was reported in the Railway
Arc, Gazelle of October 20, page
802. The circumstances were in
vestigated by a coroner's jury, and
we have the somewhat unusual
result, of a verdict in which the
main cause of Hie collision is
correct ly slated. It will be remem
bered thai, according lo Hie
original nrrounl, the conductor
and cngineman of the freight ef
South Omaha without examining
the train register. The coroner's
jury finds Dial, in addition to this,
these men perhaps mistook train
No. 155, at South Omaha, for No.
105, which was lo be met at Gil
more Junction; and "We further
find that the mere keeping of a
register, as now maintained at
South Omaha, is not a sufficient
safeguard." The verdict goes on
to Rive further particulars, and in
some respects shows a lack of
neoessary knowledge of railway
practice; but everyone who has
had experience wilh train regis
ters, and who has seen the dif
ference (in results) between Ibis
means of preventing collisions
and the use of an efficient block
system, will recognize the force
and the exact accuracy of I be
main statement quoled above."
E. Wurl Displays Goods.
If you have not seen K. WuiTa

tractive dress troods for sale by
Mr. Wurl and Ihe other depart
ment to furs and fancy articles.
In the design one can see the idea
of a skilled advertiser who knows
how to display his wares lo the
bust possible advantage. Colors
aro artistically blended, lending a
pleasing and allraclive air to the

beauty which would make an
elegant Chrislmas present for a

Fined $2 and Trimmings.
C It. Keir, an apph-pirker from
south of (ilenwood, was in Ihe cily
yesterday and was run in by the
police as a plain drunk. When
sobered up the police judge took
bis temperature, looked at bis
tongue and pronounced ? and
oosls. Mr. Kier explained bis
business in Ihe city by saving thai
he bad run out of apple-picking
and chanced lo be near Ihe Junc
tion in Mills county when he was
soized wilh a terrible I hirst and
for serving1 banquets, will be ar
ranged. Toilet and dressing rooms
with every convenience will be ad
ded, anil being on the ground floor
will add very materially to the
convenience of the dining room.
Should the bulge decide to rent
their dining ivkiiii and kitchen to
other lodges or organizations in
the city it will have no difficulty
in doing so, the convenience to the
heart of the business district and
the added advantage of being on
the ground floor is a most desir
able feature for such purpose.
The building committee met
last night, and considered the
specifications and plans of the
new structure and will be gov
erned somewhat by the weather as
to proceeding at once with let
ting the contract, but. it is to be
hoped that. I he work can be com
menced soon, as a large and com
modious hall will be sorely need
ed, if the floafes' hall, as is ex
peeled, should be devoted to other
purposes. The M. V. A. is the
leading fraternal order of the cily,
and its eiilerpri.se in planning to
own its home is to be commended
and I here is no doubt, but the hall
will receive a liberal patronage
from other organizat ions.
