EyThe New York Herald has com
pfeted the history OF the various acci
dents that have happened, accompanied
by loss Of life, during the frst six
months OF 1883. Nearly three ,hous.
and human beings have been sacrificed
to these calamitous occurrences. and the
list does not include any accident where
the loss Of life was less than three. In
the list are accidents by food, by fire,
by lightning, by explosives. BY panic,
and first on the list are boiler explosions,
OF which one on an average occurred
each day with more or less serious con-
sequences Altogether it has been a
year unparalleled tor the number of
these occurrences and the serious con.
sequences attending them.

Special Telegram TO the Globe.
CHICAGO, Oct. 9.-Ool. Lowry and his
guests, the city council of st. Paul, have
to-day Iattsnded the convention of the
American Street railway association, where
they interchanged views in regard to the
best means of constructing and operating
street railways. The special points under
consideration have been the construction
of tracks and the best means
of collecting that most important
object, the fare, and there was
discussed the question of the adoption of
fare boxes and the abolition of conductors
as an economic move, and just here the
attention of the innocent and experienced
city fathers was directed to the unfortu
mats habit possessed by the average con-
ductor of imagining he is a partner with
the company. To night the council will
attend the theatre again, and in the morn
ing drive out to Lincoln Park for the DIR
pose of Witnessing the action of q fire ex-
tinguisher, and in the afternoon a visit
will be paid to the Union stock yard.
While here the council will be given q
banquet by the president of the Street Car
company, and they will leave the city for
St. Paul at the close OF the convention
Thursday evening.

reviewing the work of the association. dis

toward pecfeeting electric motors, and
