Newspaper Page Text■ RAILROAD RUMBLES P SHOPMEN WEAR F EYE PROTECTORS -jv-Vse of Goggles Cuts Down * Number of Injuries; Popular Move With Employes Members of the local "Safety First" committee of the Pennsylvania rail road, report a decrease in the number ' of injuries to the eyes of employes, as hi refjult of wearing goggles. Some- JK lime ago orders were issued to em ■ ployes of shopß where the work is dangerous, that all employes must wear eye protectors. This safety fir A J.ioi-emcnt has spread to other depart inent, and engineers and firemen, as well as trainmen are wearini glasses. Since the workmen's compensation law wont into effect the local comiult tee has been instructed to see that goggles are worn more extensively, es pecitlly in blacksmith and machine shops where fragments of stee 1 ! are I H likely to Injure the eyes. Engineers ■ fliid firemen say the goggles are a pro- H te-tlon from dust and sparks. The glasses are made of extra heavy ii nd durable material, with a prottc ■ live side covering. When hit by a I B piece of steel the glass will not break. B Employes find the glasses a great re- B lief where there is heat connected with! B the work, as in blacksmith shops. Km-1 H ployes of boiler shops are also using ■ goggles.

Harrisburg people will realize that we could not publish such letters as the following if they were not genuine and truthful statements of facts. The Uev. Mr. Hughes, Holly Springs, Ark.,' says:— "I am a Methodist Minister, and , H suffered from broken-down nerves, ! loss of appetite and sleeplessness. I ■ was weak, my circulation was very poor, and T was not able to do my H duty in my Parish as I felt I should. I had tried various remedies but did ! H not seem to get any better. Through Mr. Gatlin of Bearden, Ark., I learn ed of Vinol, and it built me up. I ■ regained my appetite, can sleep bet- 1 ter and do more work." There is no secret about Vinol, it derives its power to build up the over- H worked, brokendown, nervous system H' from the jnedicinal extractives of tresh cod livers without oil combined with tonic iron and beef peptone. Anyone in Harrisburg who wishes to try Vinol can do so with the under- H that we will return their "money if they are not satisfied. George A.

Yards and at Other Points Further relief from congestions in Pennsylvania yards in this city, at ";Enola and Marysville came to-day as < I a. result of a further removal of em bargoes. Notice was given local offl • j cials yesterday that the company II would accept freight tor pier delivery in New York, and also for points along the New York division. This order, it is said, will release ! j between 500 and 000 cars, and give room for the storing of other freight on which embargoes still stand. The embargoes remaining, are for New England points, freight for export, freight for lighterage and for points 11 in Brooklyn district, j The order lifting the embargo is i j important, as it will open up the New York division, heretofore closed to traffic from the west, and will enable Jthe breaking up of congestions at all ! terminal points. I ' [ THE HONOR ROLL j gsjSßjEsj jtk*. 11? KPIIRAIM N. JONES The man who was fireman on the 1 j first shifting engine used in the local yards of the Pennsylvania Railroad ! was Ephraim N. Jones. This veteran, who is known to all railroaders as ' "Dick" Jones, resides at .">O4 ('alder street. When he is not attending rail road meetings he spends his time I painting pictures in oil and water j colora. It was in 1557 that the first shifter was put to work. Engines did not j have numbers in those days. This 1 locomotive was known as the "('on sternation." After six months "Dick" i Jones was made engineer. During the ! following year the second engine was I ; placed in service and given in charge ' of Engineer Jones. The latter was retired in 1906 after a record of forty- 1 j nine years and six months' service. : For nineteen years he ran Pittsburgh ! Express west and brought east all thej | fast trains. Hardware Men Travel on Special to Pittsburgh The Pennsylvania railroad to-day ran a special train of eight all-steel cars, from New York to Pittsburgh. ;On board were 130 members of the' Pennsylvania and Atlantic Seaboard Hardware Association. The train (reached Harrisburg at 12:30 this aft | ernoon and is due in Pittsburgh this j evening at t; o'clock. The travelers j were in charge of W. G. Wheeler, j | passenger solicitor for the Pennsyl ! vania railroad. This is the fourth successive year the Pennsylvania com pany has taken care of these tourists ion their way to the annual conven- j i tion. Rumors of Coalition Not Taken Seriously By Associated Press Mobile, Ala., Feb. 7. —Reports from New York that organized railroad men and union mine workers may form a {coalition for the purpose of pressing : : demands for increased wages were not taken seriously to-day by those who are familiar with the coal min ing situation.
