OF late since the angel of death has been
perched upon the engines of our great railroads
it is fitting time to note the following fact in
regard to the great artery Of travel between

cldents and trghtful losses of life on almost |

road IS free from all such terrible affairs and !

most thoroughly scientific manner, the rolling |
stock IS all jtrst class, and every mile of the |
entire road is under constant and careful in |
