Eerils cf RailrOadinS.
It is Il wonder that more accidents do not
happen on the railroad. Il great number
of freight cars are without platforms, and
he lneu either have to stand Oh top of the
cars or on the bumpers, the latter being
al exceedingly dangerous pOsititiOn, as
there is no telling when u coupling may
break, and in this case the person standing
there runs great danger OF being jcrked
off the train. Especially at this time with
the cars from New Jerss y and the west.
Nearly all the p. II. r. cars have platforms
on. 1t will he remembered that 4 short
time ago, Mr.. Jerry Long, a brakeman,
met his death on one of these cars that had
no platform.
Super6erviceable Police.
1t is complained that some of our police
men have q new way of arrestiDg vagrants.
Some time ago a beggar went into the
ward Of q we'll known citizen and asked |
for something to eat, which was given to
him. He also received permission to sit |
Oh the porch to eat what was given him. |
While doing so a policeman entered the |
yard and arrested him. The lady of the |
house requested that the beggar not be
taken into custody. Thereupon the officer
swore in q manner that was disgraceful.
At another time, when a tramp had
been engaged to do some work at the house
where the above incident occurred another
policeman, well-known as the "tramp
entered and attempted to arrest
the man, but upon being informed that he
was working there, after demurring a little
while, went his way. BY an act of AS
;embly passed in 1877, begging in this
state is crime, as is also swearing. But !
It the same time the officer, before arrest
ng the bcggers, must see him beg or have
warrant. In neither case did the above
officers see the men beg nor had they war
ants. Arresting without warrants is too
'reely done here.
