Council Adopts New
Rules to Safeguard
Wall on River Front
i •'hief among the new rules for the
parks and playgrounds as adopted to
day by Council in accordance with
Commissioner K. SC. Gross" sugges
tion were these regulations pertaining
to the ftiver Front slopes:
"Damage or defacing of any part

or any part of the light standards upon
; the wall or in any park is forbidden.
! "Throwing or depositing or drain
ing of any offensive substance of any
! kind on or into any park, parkway,
fountain, spring or other park water
way or depositing of waste paper,
1 fruit, refuse, lunch baskets or similar
articles in any place save in proper re
ceptacles therefore, is prohibited."
Intoxicated persons are not per
mitted to loaf in the parks and the
speed of all horse or vehicular travel is
restricted to ten miles an hour. Fish
ing is permitted in Wildwood lake' al
though this sport is prohibited in
j other park waterways. Otherwise the
i old rules prevail.

A MAUSOLEUM DURING CONSTRUCTION i
► 4
y We have had so many inquiries about the building of this structure, the manner of its 4
y construction, the kind of materials used, where procured, quantities, etc.; that we have de- A
termined to place before those interested some salient facts about it, together with a photo
graph of one of our mausoleums in process of construction.
Again this method of entombment being distinctly new to Harrisburg we feel that many
are vitally interested as they naturally are in all improvements. We. ourselves, feel that this *
y step just as distinctly marks a scientific advancement as did the coming of the era of electric- i
► ity, the telegraph, the telephone, che auto, the aeroplane or any of the many discoveries of an *
► age of science. 4
► In the production of these great mausoleums we have combined the most recent sani- <
► tary improvements with the most modern mechanical skill, thereby producing a building <
► architecturally beautiful and practically indestructible. A structure to endure through the 4
ages and endowed to ensure its care and upkeep forever.
; ELEMENTS OF ITS CONSTRUCTION :
► Most conspicuous in the above photograph art the great derricks employed in placing the <
► huge blocks of white Carolina granite in position. A glance at the incompleted walls will <
► convey to the mind some idea of the immensity of these blocks, and more especially at the 4
side of the doorway where is seen an immense upright stone three times the height of the i
man beside it.
and set in place, while in the foreground are some great turned pillars weighing approxi-
mately eight tons each. .
► The following summary of materials used in the construction of a mausoleum of the size i
► planned for Paxtang Cemetery may be interesting: <
► There is used in the construction of the foundations, sub-floors, inner walls, etc., about i
► one thousand cubic yards of concrete. Twenty-five tons of steel for re-enforcing. Six thous- 4
and square feet of granite for the exterior. Nearly one thousand barrels of Portland cement.
More than seven hundred tons of crushed stone. The same quantity of sand. For the interior
y about five thousand square feet of white Riverside marble from the famous Rutland quarries. *
y To finish the roof are required some three thousand square feet of Ludovici tile together with 4
► a large quantity of sheet and bulk lead for joints and flashings. <
► All exposed metal used in the mausoleum will be U. S. standard 90 per cent bronze. This i
► includes doors, door frames, window frames, ventilators, grills and gates, in fact, any metal <
► that exposure to the elements might destroy in the years to come. The glass for windows is <.
. all leaded art glass specially designed for this mausoleum by artists of note in that particular '<
► field - <
It is a known fact that more than sixty per cent, of all people have an aversion to burial
* in the ground, an aversion that with some is an absolute horror. Before the coming of the
► modern mausoleum only those of great wealth could enjoy the comfort and satisfaction of
► such a noble resting place. To-day it is available to and within the financial reach of any 1
► family who can afford a lot and monument, the ultimate cost being no greater and all future <
y care and upkeep being provided for. 4

morning over new features of the jit
ney regulations. Action was deferred
until next Tuesday.
The applications for the stands were
all accompanied by written consent
of the abutting property owners. By
obtaining this permission, however, the
jitney drivers could operate by simply
paying the $3 license fee and thus
avoid liability for the regular jitney
ordinance provisions.
Mr. Bowman wanted to know "what
the police department was doing to
prevent jitneys running on the streets
without licenses." Mayor Meals said
the department, was ready and willing
to prosecute as soon as it got evidence,
but "that tlie people didn't like to help
by giving the evidence."

More than thirty other persons were
injured, most of them suffering from

Victims In Hear Car
All" the victims were occupants of
I the rear car of a local train which had
; started to run on a siding in front of
i the Bradford station when the Gilt
Edge express from Boston crashed into
it. Coals from the express locomotive
and the explosion of a gas tank set
tire to the wreckage and the flames
spread so rapidly that the nearby sta
tion and freight house were destroyed,
together with four wooden coaches of
the local train. The passengers had
much difficulty in climbing out of the
i demolished car and those who lost
their lives were badly burned.
! As there is no fire department here,
Ino adequate fight could be made
against the flames until the arrival of
| apparatus from Westerly, six miles
! distant.
So one was injured on the express.

vivors proceeded on other trains.
Investigations Under Way
Trainmen were at variance in their
statements as to the signals set against
the express after the local train, de
tained here by engine trouble, had
been ordered to take the siding. They
agreed that the signals nearest the
local was set for danger, but Charles
H. Mansfield, engineer of the express,
said the signal next behind this showed
a clear track ahead, and that when he
caught sight of the "home" light shin
ing through the thick fog It. was too
late to stop his swiftly speeding train.
Engineer Mansfield remained here
to-day with the understanding that he
was not to leave until the several in
vestigations had been completed.
The inquiry by the Public Utilities
Commission of Rhode Island was well
under -way, George H. Carmichael, a
special agent, having been early on the
scene to collect statements from wit
nesses.
The coroner's inquest probably will
be held late this afternoon.
