Jumping Trains,

For many years past it has been the Gus.
tom of boys OF from ten to fifteen years Of
age to ride up and down the b. Il o. tracks
in this city upon any train or engine that
offered the opportunity. This practice to
this day is largely INDUCED in, and it is a
great wonder that the press has not been
more frequently called upon to chronicle
accidents from this cause. Yesterday u
reporter, while IN the neiGhborhood OF the
Riverside Iron Works, counted no less than
six or eight boys riding on the cow-catcher
of a passing engine. The practice is dan
gerous one in the extreme, and, If possible.
should be ahated at once
