The STREET RAnnoAD.-Thc Goroner's Jury
summoned to decide the cause OF Mr.. E. L.
ADAMS death have scxoneratedfthe Street Railroad

accident, it is still matter Of rejoicing to know
that the unfortunate yonth did not come to his
death by any carelessness on tho part Of the en-
ployees Of the road Such IN accident is liable to
any similar corporation and feel convinced TINT
the greatest care was taken to prevent any occur
renee OF this sort. Tho rules and regulations OF
the railroad are clearly defined and, as far as we
know, have been fully obeyed; but neither the
drivers or conductors are ablo to guard against
such accidents as that which caused the doath Of
Mr.. ADAMS.
An Act OF HEno1sM.-On last Friday, while Mr.

OF the steamer Adee, tho gangway plank became
detached from the vessel and Mr.. G. slipped and
fell between the boat and the wharf. Although an
expert swimmer, the c!rcumscribed space prevent
ed him exercising himself and he was drawn down
by the suction of the vessel. Mr.. WlI C. REID
the chief officer Of the steamer noticing the dis
aster, Immediately. won't to the rescue, and it is
owing to his humane efforts an timely assistance
that Mr.. CREAsER was saved. BY grasping friend
y arm and lowering himself to the waters edge he
was enabled to seize SIr. G. as he was about to
sink for the last time. Mr.. RE1Ds act was one Of
personal Daring, for he was aware that the drown
ing struggles of Mr.. CREAsIn would probably pull
him down.

when We observed this fine body Of men, properly:
armed and .accoutred, though not in n9uniform,
Masking their appearance the streets, it gave us
great pleasure--for we were under the impression
that the crossings business parts of the city

avoid severe fall; and we would really suggest 70
the authorities that in such weather as We have
had lately that thcse spots should bo continually
