Another sickening accident happened last night
on the Thrd-ave elevated railroad, and again. as

about it. Daniel Lannigan, brakeman, was the
victim and he died in about half an hour after

fortunate victim.

gates between the third and fourth cars OF a
train that was pulling out of the Chatham Square
station. bound for the City Hall. He leaned out
over the gates apparently unconscious of the speed
the train had reached and also unmndfu of the OBJ
structions at the side OF the car. Spectators
say that he was looking toward the rear OF
the train, when suddenly his head received
terrific blow by coming ia contact with post
supporting the stairs leading to the Second-ave
station on the other side of the bridge. The
blow knocked Lannigan off his feet and he fell
heavily to the platform of the car, with the blood
eozing through his hair. The train stopped
at once, but he was found to be unconscious
He was carried on the train to the City Han,
where the employees recognized him, and sald that
he lived at No. 2,430 Eighth-aye. call was
Immediately sent to the Chambers Street Hos
pital for an ambu lance, and the injured brakeman
was taken into the little building at the north
end of the platform.
II was over half an hour before an ambulance
arrived the hospital having dispatched the only
ono available to lower Broadway on call received
few seconds before the one from the Clty nan
station. When the ambulance came at iast the
man was dead. His head was covered with blood
and it was found that his skull had been fractured

a messenger was sent TO the City Hall police sta
tion for an officer and the body remained all the
evening lying on the floor of the building at tne
end of the PLATFORM a coat thrown over the lace.

OCEAN PENNY POSTAGE.
A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT WHO THINKS THE
SCHEME FEASIBLE

London, JAM John Hennkcr Heaton, NJ. F.,
has accepted invitation to visit the United States
early this year. He expects while there to appear
before Congress in advocacy of ocean penny postage
and much of the time Of his visit will be devoted to
the furhcring of cheap postage. His idea Is that as
letters are carried long distances by rail- at the
penny rate with profit TO the post Office departments
of England and the United States, penny postage
between England and America would be perfectly
feasible Indeed noncontract steamers actually carry
letters for the English post office from southampton
to New-York for about hafpenny each, that IS,
forty letters go to the pound, and the rate paid TO
these non-contract steamers is 1 shilling, S pence
per pound As to profits Mr. Heaton calculates that
the English Post Office makes from $4,000 10 oo'ooo
pounds annually Oh the American mails Twelve
millions of letters and 100000 pounds weight OF
newspapers etc, sent to America In 1881 ior
which the steamship companies received less than
100 900 pounds, while the English Post once received
more than 900 pounds for stamps.

as it true that the Brotherhood has withd avn
its financial support from the o. strikersl"
"Not by any means, nor will it do So That mat

There IS hardly doubt that, should the conference
tomorrow prove abortve, the Brotherhood men VIII
tie up every road in the West. The Eastern roads
will not be involved. The idea is to stop traffic on
all roads throughout the West and Southwest which
act as feeders to the Burlington system, and thus
force the company to settlement. Such move
would virtually paralyze the entire railroad business
of the country.
The indictments against Thomas 81 oderck John
