RAILWAY LEGISLATION.

| The Senate and House committees on rail
roads are busily engaged in perfecting sepa
rate bills, TO be reported to their RESPECTIVE.
bodies, for the government and control of the
| railroad traffic OF the State. These bills are
being made up, presumably, from the mast
of proposed measures introduced from time
to time by different members. The railroad
committees are composed Of gentlemen who
are not engaged in railroading, and it is no
reflection on their intelligence to say that
they are not thoroughly posted on the rail-
road question. They have not called in ex.
perts, nor have they given to the managers
of any Of our roads an opportunity TO be
heard on this question. In New York a CON-
mittee was engaged two years in taking tcs-
timony before a railroad law was finally pass
ed, and in other States the same policy has
been pursued. The people of Kansas are al.
most unanimous in their demand for railroad
legislation. The railroad people. under.
standing the situation thoroughly, have
steadily refused TO interfere or attempt TO in
fiuence the Legislature in any manner, not
withstanding their vast property interests
are placed in jeopardy. The people demand
n fair railroad bill. The railroad people, by
absolute non.interference, tacitly agree to
accept any measure that may be supported
BY the majority. The Legislature therefore.
owes it to the people, to the railroads. and to
themselves to adopt such measures as will
protect alike the interests Of the State and
he corporations. In view OF these facts
we think 1t would be fair to invite the gen.
eral managers Of all the important lines to
meet the committees for mutual interchange |
and discussion. These gentlemen can be ex-

A Terrible Death,

The second fatal accident of the week
is recorded to-day in the horrible death
OF man who, while under the influence
of liquor, sought to sleep off the effects
of his frequent rotations in the belt and
boiler house of the Webster & Dustin
building, at the north canal. The I'M
fortunate mans name was William
Gould; his age about 40 years. He was
married and had one daughter, but had
not dwelt with his family for years, ow-
ing to incompatlbility, but lived kind
of nomadic life, going from one town to
another, generally frequenting places
wherein are situated paper and leather
board mills. He returned to Lawrence
on Thursday, and was seen upon the
streets, by acquaintances, in an intoxi-
Gated condition. Dawson's mandatory
is operated until midnight, and at eight
o'clock Gould entered the works, had
some talk with the night foreman, after
which he left by the side door, from
which there is walk which passes by
the boiler house. In the latter, which
is or the east side of the building, is the
main belt by which the mill is operated.
1t RUS horizontally on tue north side
within ak inches of the brick wall Of
boiler, and on the south, the same dis.
lance from the side Of brick floor the belt
running through o groove made in the
earth below the floor level. The last
seen of the man alive was when he left
the main room Of the factory. He doubt
less went into the boiler house with the
intention of sleeping there, and IN his
dazed condition did not notice the belt
which was speeding with great velocity,
and fell upon it, being drawn by it
against pulley, where ne was held fast.
His head was rAwn against the brick
siding of the boiler, and when found was
nearly severed from the body, the edge
of the belt having saved upon it for
nearly four hours. His legs were drawn
in the groove below the floor level, and
at the knee of the right and between the
knee and the thigh of the left the belt
had eaten its way to the depth of three
or four inches, showing that the man
must have suffered terribly before death
came to his relief. No one went into the
boiler house at the shutting down of the
speed at midnight, nor until A. Parker
did this morning, to oil the 81 aeting,
when he discovered the victim of the nc
oident. The body was removed and the
police notified, and after the remains
were viewed by Medical Examiner
Howe they were delivered at Mayor
Breen's undertaking rooms. tho man
having no relations here. He had in his
possession $40 80, q loaded revolver.

are in possession OF the medical ex-

A NOTABLE WoMAN.-Mrs. Chaplin
Ayrton, the wife of Prof. W. f. Ayrton,
Of England. who has just died ct the
early age Of 81, was in many respects a
remarkable woman. As Miss Chaplin,
she was one of the first in England to
advocate the professional education of
women, and it was largely due to her ex-
ertions that the profession of medicine
was thrown open to women. She At
tended all the medical classes open to
women in Edinburg; aud in 1879 OBJ.

cal school of Paris. At the examination
of King and Queens college Of physi.

She is also known as an author through
her interesting book "Child.life in
