A Faithful FIagmen's Death,

The flagman, John Mulligan, whom
Harper's Magazine once brought into
notice as the man who kept up a per-
petual race with destruction" died at his
residence, Fourth street between Lomb-
ard and Pine, yesterday morning, after a
short illness of typhoid fever. Mr.. Mul-
ligan was an employee of theP. w. & Il.
Co., and had been in its service almost
eleven years. During that period he has
run ahead OF the out going and in coming
trains almost daily, and mas proven him
self most faithful and valuable en-
ployee. Trying as were his duties, and
dangerous as their performance, a mis-
step or fall involving swift and sure de-
struction, his long service is barren of a
single accident to, himself, or the trains
which he led through the city.
