Terrible Casualty.

CHICAGO, March 20.-As the passenger
train, over the Chicago Branch Of the Illinois
Central Railroad was approaching this city
about . O'Clock yesterday afternoon, when
near Cleaverville, and running at the rate of
about fifteen miles an hour, the engineer,
named Shannon, stepped forward along tho
side of his machine for some purpose, when
he was unfortunately thrown upon the
track, by coming in contact with fence
which there approaches closely the line of
the road, and the whole train passed over
him, killing him instantly and leaving him
crushed and mangled mass between the
rails. There were three passenger cars and
the brakes Of each came successfully In
contact with the body, dragging it many
feet after life must have become extinct.
The train was stopped and run back to
the spot where poor Shannon lay, man
was left to guard the remains and the train
came on to the city, and car was sent
back to bring the BODY TO the city.

Dwy1LIss HousEs.-A short time SIM

DwrrLIss HousEs.--A short time since
We alluded TO the large number Of bushes
ho,ses TO be erected in this city the coming
summer, and the comparatively few DWELL
ings, and urged that in view of the great
and increasing demand for daellings, the
number and proportion should be largely In.
creased STAGE then, one OF US has had an
opportunity Of practically ascertaining some
thing more about the demand for dwellings.
We are inclined to believe that il half
thousand dwellings were erected in Daven-
port this year, they would all be promptly
filled, and at rents paying good per Gen.
tum on their cost. Al the present time
there are great many persons looking for
dwellings, which are simply not to be had.
A common house reported to be for rent last
week had sixteen applicants, This exhibits
the demand without going into further de.
tails. Yet spring immigration has not yet
commenced hereabouts. II is true, some
few will change their locations, but doze
will came in TO where one leaves. Yet with
this actusl condition of things, we hear OF
business houses going up in almost every
osr of the city, and very few dwellings,
The consequence will be, that If new com.
ers csnuot obtain dwellings, and those here
now have to pay any higher rents than the
present, there will be very considerable dif-
fcuIty in finding tenants Tor the business
houses. Our citizens are, we think, pur
suing the wrong policy. We hope we may
be mistaken in this, but we fear we are not
Business houses are now paying higher
per centape OH their cost than dwellings
in which lies the secret. Next year, we
think il will be otherwise, when the equi'
Hbrium will be restored, and more healthy
Growth succeed. Grow cur city must, and
az il has done. with almost unexampled "a
uidty. We have among US and about us
all the elements of prosperity, and but hall
developed But let us urge the erection Of
more dwellings, There are men amsng ui
who can afford to do this, and who perhaps
owe II as public duty, although perhaps
they can get little higher per centage fol-
their spare capital in other ways. We
do not want costly houses, but those which
costing but little, can be rented low. In fact
we wan, houses for cur proct cal mechanics
and laborcrs, and all who cannot afford Il
paw extrsvagant rents, The man who now
builds such house for rent, is public ben.
efactor TO that extent.
