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

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

discriminate between the guilty und
the innocent.
Those who did not participate in the

that be or bia friends may sometimes

Mr. lluhn. I insist uihm my motion

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

proceedings. I but ia tbe judgment of

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

others mentioned are wiihdruwu. Red
merino cloth is used for one of tho col
ored tignuls and stained glass answers
for the other, rour strong cords con
nect the two red and green signals on
each tide with tho working room ol
the tower, lly this means the opera
tor can conveniently make the neces
sury changes in the signals. 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.

The origin of diptlierin, sh'hI Prcsi

Un neing nssureu oi u nomo in tue
