Our Common Dangers.

The advance of civilization has done
much to prolong the average duration
of human life. Better food, better
houses, greater regard for the laws
OF health, and greater security against
violence of any sort have made life
more comfortable and reduced the
danger of an early death. But there is
such thing as going too far. Many
new inventions and improvements are
positively dangerous to human life.
Our streets have become unsafe for
foot passengers and vehicles. The air
above them is filled with n network of
wires carrying electric currents of
deadly power. If they should break
and fall in the street, as might easily
happen at q fire, by load of ice or
other causes, it might be instant death
for man to touch them. If stream
from fire engine should play against
two broken ends of the wire, the cleo
tricity would follow the stream OF water
and kill the firemen. Again, the wires
are so numerous in many localities that
1t would be almost impossible to raise
ladders for the rescue of people cut off
by the flames. This is the danger over
head. There are other dangers under
foot. few feet underground are pipes
charged along their whole length with
steam at a pressure which ONLY a boiler
is fitted to Withstand. The result is
that these pipes burst and create havoc
by an Eruption of the street. This has
already happened several times. Again,
the gas pipes leak, so that the ground
becomes saturated with gas. This col
lects in the manholes of the steam COM
panies and explodes with terrific
violence when spark reaches it. More
common dangers are the difficulty of
crossing streets through a jam of
vehicles, the slipper ness of coal hole
covers and the explosion of boilers
under sidewalks. We are getting
civilized out of existence. Brooklyn

The evening session proved to be brief and
uninteresting. The COMMITTEES on Credentials
was not prepared TO report. therefore no bust
ness OF Importance could be done, and an early

the Issue OF 500 additional tickets TO the con-

The resolution having this in view was lost by n
large majority, tiCksts having already boon is

Ingersoll was not in the hall, and the shouts
were changed to Oglesby.
The convention adjourned.
