-:o,-
Scarcely day passes that the press does
not announce the fact of man being found
dead lying along or adjacent to some rail-
road track. The cause of death is gener-
ally given as unknown, and supposition is
made to supply it. Hints have been thrown
out on more than one occasion that some of
the employees Of road on which these
trivial matters happen might account for
them If their lips were not tightly sealed
by their employers, and knowing that dis
missal would follow disclosure, their tomb
stone silence can readily be understood. In-
stances occur, however, when the public
are enabled to get at the true inwardness of
some of these unexplainable accidents and
the truth comes to light, and as is to be ex-
pected, it shows nearer a case Of murder
than anything else.
The Critic has in his mind one of these
cases, which shows the grossest outrage by
railroad employees upon q man, and no re-
gard for life whatever.
About 1:30 o'clock yesterday morning, as
the Baltimore e. Ohio night express was
| passing over the Pittsburg & Cumberland
division of the companys road, two gentle
men, Mr.. Ed. Mills and Mr.. Wagner, occupy
ing the rear births in the sleeper,which was
the last car of the train, were awakened by
scutlliDg upon the rear platform.
The door being open they could SEQ that
the night was dark and the locality
| through which the train was passing
was woody and houseless, and that two
men were tugging together on the platform.
| The train had slowed up some, but was still
| travelling at good rate of speed. The con-
test lasted some minutes but there were no
| words aud the only sounds heard was one
| outcry and gloan.
Finally the two men disappeared, and al
most Immediately after the railroad of
| fetal was seen to come back up the car
| steps and enter the car with
his lantern hanging from his
arm. Scarcely had he got within the car
| before another official approached him and
| said
"Did you put him OFF,"
Hush" the man hissed out in reply, and
both started through the car.
| Both Messrs. Mills and Wagner asked the
two men what had happened, and each got
the short and unsatisfactory answer,
Nothing"
The train kept on, and the gentlemen
went to sleep; but when they arose in the
| morning they made further inquiry, aud
found an employe little more commune
answering them, he said that he under
stood that man had been put off somt
distance back from Cumberland who wa:
stealing ride.
Mr.. Mills asked why they did not stop the
train for that purpose, and was informed
that it was the companys orders to put
them off without stopping. 1t would &c
oil until they killed somebody that would
make big stir and pay heavy damages
and then probably more caution would be
used.
Mr.. Mills characterized this case, OF
which he has personal knowledge, as the
greatest outrage he ever knew, and says
that the man was deliberately thrown
from the train while it was moving at 6
fast rate of speed. He expects to read 9
telegraphic announcement of a man found
dead along that road, and the company
attributing the cause as "killed while
stealing aride."

WASHINGTON is becoming as notorious for
Its bloody crimes as any of tho Wild and
wicked Western cities. But for all that no
Southern Democratic newspaper accuses the

This comment, coming from our recent
South ward, and present cemeterial sub
urb, is peculiarly interesting paragraph
The Evening critic., 1883-04-07

WHENEVER you want to find an un-
adulterated, hypocritical and hypercritical
fraud, just scratch the back of one of these
high-toned and immaculate political re-
formers, and you will uncover one every
time. The recent action of the Civil Ser
vice Commission in regard to their official
stenographer shows that these much
vaunted and lf-glorifed reformers are no
exception to the general rule laid down
above. They are mighty reformers, so far
as the actions of other people are concerned,
but, when it becomes necessary for them to
show their hands, they turn out to be no
better than any three of the wicked. They
kick out a man whom they themselves con-
fess to be thoroughly competent, and put
in a man whose qualifications are, at least,
unknown. If this is fair specimen of the
methods of these newly-constituted re-
formers, then the whole business will de-
generate into roaring farce inside of six
months.

THE CRITIC ABROAD,

Have you read it?" inquired literary
friend of the Critic, holding up IN orange
covered book with the title in bold letters,
Democracy"
"No; what is it2''
"a very interesting novel, based on poll
tics and Washington life. The fun of IL Is
that it is anonymous, and supposed to bo
written by some blarsted furriner' without
the fear of society and tho politicians in his
heart, and it tells more truth under tho
guise of fiction in brief space than year
of the Congressional Record does. But how
do you suppose foreigner could get at so
many political secrets rs are herein dis
closed 2"

guess is close one. You see all the dam
aging things disclosed arc about the man
agemont of the Republican party and the
way its leaders organized victory. Conse-
quently it must have been dictated by some
Democrat who wants to bring the Grand
Old Party into disrepute, see?"

RABBI L. B. NJ. BROWNE. of the Gates Of
Hope Synagogue, of New York, has, in a
public address, explained why the Jews ac-
cumulate wealth sooner than the Gentiles.
He says that the evolution of riches, gov
erned by certain law, made an exception
in favor of the Jew everywhere, and the
fact that he made it faster than the Cen
tile was that it was to him anart inherited.
Abraham, he says, was the first money
maker on record but he made his money
honestly, not through stock exchanges,
bucket-shops or any form of gambling. He
learned the art of accumulating wealth
and transmitted the same to his descend
ants.
The venerable Rabbi might have ex-
planned that the art of making money con-
sists chiefly in, not how much you make,
but how much yeu save.

-:O.-
1t is singular how the misfortunes of
people always come under the eye of the
newspaper reporters, and oftimes "even these
hardened sinners" do not view them with
out pain.
An instance came under the eye of the
Critic this morning as he was vending his
way to the Office. At or near the corner of
Eighth and e streets northwest an indivi-
dual was met who had every appearance of
| having been on a jamboree last night and
for several nights prior. This
dilapidated walking specimen of human
| depravity in Brewsterian way
ran up against the Critic, and poking his
face right up in that of the Critic, notwith-
standing his breath possessed the odor of a
sewer that had not received attention for a
| month, proceeded in a maudlin way to
detail his troubles. His first words were :
| :" Say, Mister, would you be kind enough
to do poor, unfortunate man favorp
