To U•a HAND BiAsss.-Since the 8t.
Thome disaster an ordir has been
issued by all the leading railways in the
country to the effect that all trains are
to be stopped by hand brakes at
diamond crossings. There was a rule to
this effect on most of the roads before,
but it was not adhered to, as it was cus-
tomary for the engineer to um air, and
it is as much as • brakeman's hands are
worth to attempt to set • brake by hand
should the sir be used. Railroad men
state it is as ouosual thing for air
brakes to refuse to work. They also
d7that it 1. very hard to atop a train
hand when air is wad, and the
brakes do not grip so well as they do
when head -blokes alone are used.
