The electric brakes are being tested on a train of freight cars which have been provided with the brakes.

It was over a half hour after he had quit work on the auto that the liveryman struck the match. The gloves took fire and the palms of both hands where the gloves were opened were burned before the blazing leather could be removed, although he made quick work of getting the gloves off.
