John Downey, an engineer in charge OF
freight train on the Kansas City, Mem
phis & Birmingham Railroad, met death
in a singular and distressing manner at
$50 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
He pulled out from Memphis early yes
terday morning in good health, spirits,
and will to perform his duty to his en-
ployers in conscientious, skilliul manner.
Before his train had been out on the
road long spirit OF contrarinoss seemed to
have taken possession OF the locomotive.
There were hot boxes and brasses, which
worried him no little and caused the loss
OF considerable time from the schedule.
After stopping once or twice TO give them
attention, he chose another and hazard
Gus way-that OF oiling the obstinate parts
while the train was in motion, 1t was
while performing this duty that the engine
dashed past cattle guard. These con-
trivances project out rather close to the
track, anyhow and Downey, failing TO oh.
serve the approach to II, was leaning out
rather more than usual. As it came upon
the guard, his head struck IL, and the en-
eineer rolled off and over, a corpse. The
fireman whistled down brakes at once,
and the train crew hurried back to the
dead man. His neck was broken.
Strange TO relate, the only marks left upon
him were over the eyes, both of which
were bloodshot and swollen, but the hem
morrhage from his left ear was frighliul.
Downey's remains were taken TO the
next station, where they remained
until the arrival OF the incoming passen-
ger train. On this they were brought to
Memphis. In response TO telegram, +.
Nj. SANKEY'S ambulance was taken to the
depot TO meet the train and convey the
body OF the engineer TO his late home, ON
Georgia street. The blow to his wife was
almost crushing, and moved the men in
charge OF tho ambulance, who are accus-
| toned TO such scenes, 10 deep emotion.
| The body was embalmed by Stanley and
will be Slipped TO his former home in
Wisconsin today. lilo was thirty-two
years Of age.
When Z. NJ. Stanley first introduced
the ambulance, TnE APPEAL was moved
TO commend the innovation most cor
daily. There was much need OF ii appar-
ent then, but no one dreamed OF IL per-
forming such great and gratuitous SER
vice. II is called into requisition almost
daily, but the proprietors have notas yet
changed their original determination To
make the service n voluntary and cheerful
one, without receiving cent OF financial
reward. But for il many injured and sor-
rowing people would be at u loss 10 meet
unlocked for emergencies, even when able
and willing TO pay for the service.

ducing new criminals. Criminals are be-
ing produced every day. and they do not all
come from the slum-dwellers. the poor and
the ignorant. although it is with such the
prisons are filled. But it is not this class
that the law is slow to punish or deals with
too leniently. Society hardly regards these
as part of itself. A daily glance at the
headlines of newspapers will show you
that many of the great crimes of the day
are being committed by men of whom it is
said. ''they come of good family and high
social and business standing" Watch the
court records and you will see that these
cases are carried over from term to term of
court. If you will follow them to the end
you will find that about nine out of ten re-
suit in a compromise. nOlle prOsequi or
failure to convict. The one convicted is
looked upon by many as martyr; but is
pointed out to lis criminals of low degree as
an exempliticatiOn OF the good old maxim
that 1.-The law is no respecter OF persons +"
1t is here that the law delays and fails to
convict. and not in the cases of common
criminals who are run through the judicial
mills at rate that would make your head
swim to see. 1t Is the crimes of the low
that are visited with speedy trials and long
sentences. and they serve out their sell
fences. too. 1t is not for the want of ex-
amples of the laws power to punish that
crime is on the increase. The hurting of
men from the scaffold into eternity. either
before the eyes of the public or in the soil
tude of the prison and the gloom of night,
or the imposing of long sentences, the
building of model prisons, hospitals and
asyluns will not wipe out the cause of
crime, suffering and insanity.
