from collision, and more than half
from derailments. Highway crossings
at the grade Of railroads is productive
source Of casualties. Seven per cent. Of
those killed by railroads in Massachu-
settles in 1885 were passengers, SO
per cent. were employees and 60
per cent. were others; AZ per
cent. being trespassers and eleven
per cent. being killed at grade crossings.
These facts from verified statistics are in
teresting as showing how very small is
the per cent. Of all railroad casualties, re-
sulting in death that can be properly at
tributed to the legitimate operation and
running of the roads. Coupling accidents
appear to bs the most numerous, but are
not proportionately fatal the greater
part resulting in the loss of part Of a
hand. Massachusetts, is again quoted as
statistical authority. Out of 391 en-
ployees injured in 1883, 154 occurred in
coupling accidents. The automatic
coupler is something greatly desired and
possibly to be attained in the future. It
is stated that two or three years ago
there was on record in the United States
over four thousand coupler patents. An
automatic coupler known as the fanny"
and general enough to avoid the evils Of
apatent monopoly is recommended by a
c0nmiktae of The Masfor Car.hnildore
association and its use adopted by a quite
number of railroads. Perhaps ex-
townsmen and Ex-Mayor Hackett will
satisfactorily cover the ground with his
invention noticed in recent number of
the TRIBUNE and cover himself with
glory and ducats and become benefact-
or of mankind in general and railroad
corporations in particular.

The returns show fewer number Of
democrats elected to the legislature than
was estimated. The number in both
houses will not exceed eight or ten. Penn
bina and Walsh, and the entire north
eastern corner of the state, here
tofore democratic, now falls into
live for the republican ticket. By to-
morrow close estimate of the total vote
in the state can be made. The republic
can majority will not be far from 5000.
Except in Walsh, Nelson and Grand
Forks counties there was very little
opposition to the constitution.

THE NEW STATES.

Elections in four new states of the
American Union were held Tuesday and
the voters have given expression to the
political views-sort Of announcement Of
birth-and to their elder brothers in the
Union of states congratulations are to be
extended for the acquisition of four pros
porous commonwealth as members in
full in the body political. Beautiful
weather was enjoyed throughout the
Northwest and present indication are
that full vote has been polled. Capital
fight in South Dakota and Washington
called out few voters who might other
wise have been classed as stay at-homes,
while the closeness of the state had a
similar effect in Montana, nor was the
work for votes abandoned yesterday.
Sunday school children in Aberdeen
marched in procession during the
day to influence the vote on
the prohibition amendment. Those
towns in South Dakota which were
not themselves capital aspirants were
filled with workers for the contesting
cities.
The two Dakotas had been conceded to
the republicans early in the day, the
point to be settled being only as to the
size of the majority. Interest in North
Dakota was centered on prohibition, the
friends Of which were hopeful. There
was also much interest in the district
judgeships and in the legislature as re-
CARDS it's leaning for or against the sena-
torial candidacy of ex-Governors Pierce
and Ordway. In the Dakotas the ques-
tions to be decided were: In South Da-
kota-state and legislative oficere, two
congressman and judges; also voting on
the constitution, on the prohibition
clause, the clause for minority represen-
tation in the Legislature and on the tenn
porary location of the state capital.
North Dakota voted for the same officers
and also on the constitution and prohi-
bition.
In Montana the election was conducted
under the Australian system and to the
surprise of everyone the votes were
polled very rapidly, mostly all the vot-
ing being done by noon. Reports from
all sections of that territory indicate that
there was no disorder, and in the city
scarcely man was seen under the inhu-
ence OF liquor. There were no attempts
at illegal voting, and the Australian bal
loting system proved, SO far as heard
from, complete success.

SAFETY IN RAILROAD TRAVEL.

SAFETY IN RAILROAD TRAVEL.
Safety in railroad travel by H. G..
Prout, in the September number OF
Scribner's Magazine is pleasant reading
as well as valuable for the statistical and
other information it contains. A four
hundred ton train moving at the rate OF
eeventy-fve miles an hour speed now
reached in passenger service, though
rarely attainable, has an energy nearly
twice as great as that of 1900 pound
shot fred from 100 ton Armstrong gun,
is one of the calculations. In the matter
of casualties based upon the total pas
senger movement in 1887 it is cheerfully
ascertained that passenger might have
travelled s., 100000 miles before being
killed, or 100000 miles before being
injured. Or he might travel day and
night steadily at the rate Of thirty miles
an hour for 1874 years before being killed.
rhe writer says: '.Mark Twain would
doubtless conclude from this that travel
ing by rail is much the safest profession
that man could adopt" No other
means of getting over the earth'a
surface shows so great per cent.
Of safety unless it may be by

Bloodshed Over the Ownership Of a Boat

BlOOdshed Over the Ownership of Boat.
LONDON. Oct. 1.-The trouble between
Capt. }. w. Lawler and Mr.. Black over
the ownership of the boat Neversink, in
which Captain Lawler crossed the Atlantic,
has eliminated in bloodshed. The boat
was seized by Black at Cherbourg, France,
and taken to Ireveis. Isle of Wright,
whittier Captain Lawler proceeded and
took possession Of her and brought her
to Portsmouth. During the temporary
absence of Captain Lowler, Black and
Knowles put a crew Of five men aboard
the boat. When Captain Lowler returned
to the Neversink, on which it was his in-
tentiOn to sleep he ordered the men to
leave, but they paid no attention to his
orders. He then visited the American
cons1lor agent at Portsmouth and con-
suited with him as to the course to be
pursued to regain possession Of the boat.
The agent advised him to retake the boat
with the least force necessary to gain his
end. Captain Lawler then armed himself
with two crowbars and revolver and re-
turned to the. Neversink. He climbed
over owe the! the sid side a.. and /. with 18th the croy.
came toward him. He then opened fire
with his revolver and a bullet struck
sailor named Meades in the leg. The;
others on the boat lodged into places OF
security. After time two of the
men emerged from their hiding
places and approaching Captain Lawler
from behind, seized and disarmed
him. He was then transferred to the police
court a large number Of persons had
gathered at the landing place and upon
the arrival of Captain Lawler they made
an attempt to take him away from his
guards for the purpose of lynching him.
The crown was driven back by the police
and the prisoner was lodged safely In Jail.
He was subsequently arraigned and re-
manded on the charge Of attempted MUIR
