The House has not ordered a second reatling. Tbe Speaker. Yea it lias, aom tim BL'". Mr. lluhn. Tho nttestion has not been put, "Will t bo 1 louse agree to second mailing?" Mr. Jackson. (Mercer) The Chair has ordered a aocnnd reading. Mr. lluhn. lie bus no right to nuike such nn order without tbe con stint of tba House. The Speaker. Tho aocnnd reading of the resolution was culled for and no one objected, and therefore, aa is al waya customary, the Chair ordered second reading. Tbe objection comet too late. Mr. lluhn. Why, air, tht qnastion must alwaya ba put, "Will tba Mouse atrrca to Ibe aecund reading f That qoeatlon baa not I ecn put tn tba Hot and f tba Cbair trill refect, be mt tntna iioum., Ill tea tbat 1 am right. CLEARFIELD, PA., The Sneaker. I think tliia is tbe customary course for a reaolution to tako. Mr. lluhn. I waited until tins res olution waa read the first time lor the information of the House. It was not put before the Hotiso. Mr. Setiiiutteriy. 1 nan t lie Moor upon this resolution and I cull the gen tleman to order. Mr. lluhn. The gentleman was not entitled to the floor. Mr. Schitalterly. If I could not hold the floor, bow could you ? It is open to debate, and I desire to speak upon it. .Mr. Iiniin. i here lias ueen no order of the House to proceed to its second reading. 1 lie Speaker, n ben a resolution it rend the first limo and a second read ing ia called for, antl there are no ob jections, tbe resolution ia ordered to be reatl again. Mr. lluhn. I did ohjuct in timo the moment a aocnnd reading was called for. The Speaker. Tho gentleman did not object until alter a second reading was ordered ordered a cou pie of times. Mr. lluhn. Well, I cannot under stand that kind of ruling at all! '1 ho resolution was then read a sec ond limo. The question being on tho resolution ottered by the gentleman from Fayetlo Mr. Schnatlcrly. ilr. lluhn. 1 movo that tins resolu tion be laid upon tho table. 1 be Speaker. 1 hat motion ia not in older. Mr. Sclinntterly. 1 desire to sny only a few words upon this resolution. 1 should not have given it any atten tion whatever, if 1 bad not found this article alter being published in a I'ltts- onrgli paper, oniuimng a circulation through thoeustern papers of thoStuto, und, tn fact, throughout the Common wealth. 1 hit article is n reflection upon tho western members of Penn sylvania. Mr. htooer. I raise tho point ol order that a motion to lay on the table is not flehuluhlo. The Sneuker. A motion to lay upon the tuble is not in order. Mr. Osbourno. Will tbe gentleman from Fayetlo Mr. Sehnalterly allow hiiiiHcll to he tulcrrogiitcil f Mr. belinalteily. ISo, sir. Mr. Osbourne. 1 desire to axk if he is not ono of the gentlemen referred to in that resolution I Mr. Schiiatlerly. 1 decline to an swer. I desire to say tbat I was not upon that train, und take no share of the responsibility in these charges am in no wise implicated in the muter. Those who wore in the train must tuke thut responsibility. 1 think, my self, air, thut the article is un unwar rantable reflection ukiii the members tins Legislature, hecause it does not discriminate between the guilty und the innocent. Those who did not participate in the iiiigunllemunly conduct, and were in no wise a parlv toil, are made to suffer equally wall the guilty. 1 simply ottered the resolution lor the purpose of giving every gentleman un opportunity to expluin, and when luul is done l will wituuruw me reso lution. Mr. lluhn. I movo to lay tins res olution ux.n the tuble. Mr. Wulker, t Allegheny). 1 uo not rise for tbe purpose of explaining any thing in connection witb tint anony mous communication an article which baa no father whatever. A Member. No mother you mean. Laughter. jur. "Bluer, (Allegheny;, i accept the geuiluman'a correction. It baa no mother. It ia a mere anonymous pub lication, so lur as the gentleman from Fayette Mr. Scbnalterly, ia concern ed. I have rcsieeted hi in as a friend, and loved him as a brother, laughter, and I Uo not see why bo should give such unmerited attention to a commu nication of so little importance and au thority. It may bo that the gentleman Irom Fayette Mr. Scbnullerly was not upon that train, but it is possible that be or bia friends may sometimes be accidently associated with such a matter as this; and if such ia the case he will not thank any one lor giving prumiuunco to anything in the nulure of this article, which puts those con cerned in un utterly false position. 1 did not think that the "young Hurry of the West" the N ester of the olher side would aloop tofiir.aslo bring ill a mailer of this kind, unworthy of a miniums consideration. 1 thought that tho Robin Hood of tho wilds ot Fuyelle would launch bia shall ut higher uml nobler game than a mere uitoiiynioiis newspaper comtnuntiicu- Uoii. 1 have no explanation Whatever lo make. Mr. lluhn. I insist uihm my motion to lay upon tbu tuble. The Speaker. Tbe Chair will tlato that a motion to luy on the table it not a parliamentary law as practiced in this Legislature. That niotlo of dis posing of a subject grew up under Hie old Constitution. When they did nol want to print a bill, or refer it to a enmmillee in order to obviate that, or to lighten labors of Committees, this practice grew up of disposing of them by laying them on the table. As I uiidurnlauJ tbu parliamentary law ol Pennsylvania, a motion to lay upon the talde is no part ol our parliamentary proceedings. I but ia tbe judgment of the Chair. Mr. Jluhn. If the Chair to rulot it ia certainly contrary to all rulings burotoloro in this bod v. The Speaker.

THE BLOCK Si'STKM OF THE l'JiXX'A.ItAljUiOAP. The ecurcily of accidents on the Pennsylvania Huilmad during the progress of the Exposition, when millions of passengers wero carried, was largely attrihutulilc to the clll ciency ot Iho block system of ruilwuy signals. It consists simply in dividing a line of railroad into sections or blocks, of nidi length that the movement of trains thereon can be easily observed and recorded by telegraph operators stationed in signal towers at the end uf each block. As might be expected, tbe signal towers are nearly equal in number to tho stations, a few ot the minor stations only being without sig nal towers in the perfected block sys tem. In nccorduttco with its usual liir seeing policy, the Pennsylvania Rail road Company was Ihe first to intro duce on this sidu uf the Atlantic the system of train signals outlined above. The company's first efforts in this di rection were begun a few months since. Tbe work once begun was sure to be completed, and the block syslem is in operation on the New York division und on iho main line between Philadel phia and Pillsbiirgh. Oh the main lino the system was first used between Philadelphia and Puoli station. It was ulterwurds extended to Hurrisbiirg, and then between Altnonn und Pitts burgh, and recenily it bus been estab lished on the middle division of the rood. Kits t of llurrisburg on Iho main line, a distance ot one hundred and six miles, there uro lorty-tvvo signul stations, thus giving nn average interval from one lo the other ot about two and one-third: miles. Further west on Ihe mud the distances between the signul stations are considerably greater. The iipuiu- lus ol each stitlion comprises a signal box, located near tho truck so us lo be easily seen by engineers of trains ti- proaching troui cither directum, ami the Icb irriiiih instrument within The signul box pmper stands about eighteen feet Irom the imuiul uml consists ot sliding green untl red signals, two on cuch side ot tlillereiil colors, t nrso signals cull be seen Irom a considerable distuncediiring the tluy, and tire iliumn Hated ul night by a powerful lump ill the cetitru ol the box, which is divided into two .-ontintr.,.-.,lM lr .. uli,.,-i t.t block tin, this lust tunned leature serv. ing to aniko more plain tho while light or signal which appears when the two others mentioned are wiihdruwu.

Red, the stationary signal, is suggestive of dan ger, untl itibirins the engineer of an approaching train that he cannot puss until a second signal shows that the block is cleur. This information is conveyed by showing tbe white signal. A green signul is understood lo mean that tbe engineer can proceed, but with caution, tbe block not being entirely cleat' of Iruins. Two 0Mjralors are re quired at each signal tower, one being on duty during the day und the other at night. Tliu exact time at which each train reaches a station is tele graphed nt once to the operator ut the next succeeding station. He is thus informed that iho bbx-k is nol clear, and if the approaching truiii bo from tho west the stationary red signal compels the engineer of a westward bound train to come to a dead stop without venturing on tho occupied block. Tho order conveyed by the red signul it absolute antl no engineer dares to disobey II. It is thus seen that every engineer in approaching u signal tower knows beyond ull doubt the condition of the track between the given point untl the succeeding stution.
