logged them, giving notice to leave with

poperty he had but could not.
He disappeared soon after, and this
evening his decaying body was found hanging to
a tree in the woods. 1t is supposed that he com

officers in such high esteem Is not this con-
trast with the souless conduct OF our leading
railroad menf Let them remember that to conde-
scend to men of low estate is the only way to win
renown. Among the honored dead we may
mention the names of those bright stars in rail-
way life who figured in our time. Thomas A
Scott, president of the Pennsylvania railroad
thirty years ago, was beloved by his men be-
cause of the milk of human kindness which run
through his being. John Brough, though rough
in exterior his heart was warm toward his men,
and among those princely men of his time none
shone brighter than E j. Peck, president OF
the old Terre Haute. Latterlv, General Deve-
reux has left such name for his goodness OF
heart that when the lives of great railway
officers shall be written, his will occupy an i'm
3ortant page. There are only few of con-
spicuous characters known TO u.s. The ID. o.

will be continued in Office as their record has

NaY Accidents.

The Railroad Gazette reports a total OF ninety
three accidents last month, in which twenty
three persons were killed and one hundred and
seventy injured. Three collisions, six derail-
ments and four other accidents caused the
death of enc or more persons each; nine col
lisions, twenty three derailments and two other
accidents caused injury to persons, but not
death. In all. thirteen accidents caused death
and tbirtyfour injuries, leaving forty-six, or AZ
per cent. Of the whole number in which there
no injury serious enough for record. The
twenty-se collisions killed eight and injured
eIghty five persons; the ffty-eight derailments
killed eight and injured sixty-two. while in the
three other accidents seven persons were killed
and twenty three injured. Of the killed seven
teen and of the injured seventy four were rail-
road employees who thus furnished "a per cent.
of the killed, 434 per cent. of the injured and AZ
per cent of the whole number of casualties. AS
compared with May, 1885. there was an increase
of thirty one accidents, of fifteen killed and of
one hundred and five injured. The unusually
large number of collisions is startling fact,
and shows that there are still reckless men in
the train service.
