TIE BOBTAIL TERROR.
1t Causes the Probable Manning OF n Bright

1t Causes the Probable Manning of n Bright
Four-Year-Old Roy.
Another and as vet unmentioned duty Of
the myriad required of the drivers of bobtail
cars yesterday resulted in a serious accident,
by which a little boy may be manned for life.
The victim was four-year-old Johnny
Ruff, of 643 Washington street, and the acct
dent occurred because the driver Of q Chris
topher street jigger did not have the arms of
an octopus that he might guide his horse,
handle his car-hook and set the brake all at
one time.
Mrs. Ruff, the mother of the victim, was
going through Christopher street from West
toward Wash ngton. with q baby in her arms
and Johnny toddling at her side, holding her
hand. Excavation for q new building was
proceeding at No. 176, and the s.dewal was
blocked 30 that pedestrians were obliged 10
take to the street to pass the obstruction.
At this point the street railway track passes
close to the curb and Mrs. Ruff and her little
boy had to walk on it for about n rod.
Mrs. Ruff had just stepped on the sidewalk
when the car came from behind, knocked
the boy down, tearing him from her hands
and ran over the instep of his left foot,
crushing 1t terribly. .
The driver had his reins in one hand and
his car-hook in the other and was in the act
c~ipation of n relay at the stables, which were
four rods further up the street.
The accident was wholly inexcusable, and
il Johnny Ruff is rendered a cripple for life
the railroad company should be mulcted in q
round sum.

LOOKS LIKE A MIsTAKE.

Every man is presumed to know best his
W business. but at this distance it looks as
though the locomotive engineers and their
associates had made a mistake in deciding to
continue the Burlington strike, with no
terms to the company but unconditional
surrender"
The dynamite and other plans of violence
traced home to unworthy members of the
Brotherhood have deprived the organization
of the degree of public sympathy and support
that is essent al to success.
The railroad company has demonstrated its
ability to continue its business in spite of the
strike and it would seem to be the part of
wisdom for the engineers to make peace by
IN honorable compromise if possible.
