the nature OF which the local doctors

Railroads tho Only Subject Considered
What the Companies Do.
WAsnlNGToN, April lS.-Labor Com
missioner Wright has made his filth att
nual report. The single subject treated
is railroad labor. The report shows that
on June 80, 1850, the whole number Of
railroad corporations in tho United
States was approximately LIS, and the
mileage OF these roads approximately
l56, 400 miles...The number OF employees
on all OF the railroads OF the country on
that date was GS9,9l2. Sixty railroads
were Selected, representing all parts Of
tho country and all conditions Of rail-
road labor. Iu connection with these
sixty roads there were found to be
o4l, ,9lO employees. Upon investigating
the subject Of the railroads employees and
CORPORATIONS as to 600 roads by which
the real railroad business Of the country
is performed, it was found that nineteen
roads maintain beneficiary institutions
and a few pay hospital expenses while
men injured in the service arc being
treated. A very few pay taxes for tho
support OF State and County institutions.
Three or four contribute to relief funds
and several furnish club houses for Ger.
tain classes ofemployes.
Six Gompan:e assert that they pension
their superannpated employees, and also
their permanently disabled people. A
few give superannuated employees light
work, or allow haif-time ply, while q
number make settlements upon the per-
uanently disabled. Two hundred and
exty,sif companies retain in their ser.
vice permanently disabled employees, the
number Of such on tho rolls at the close
Of. the year 1888 being 3,}ol. A very
large number ot roads also provide somn
system Of technical edS"Hation Tor the
men in their shops.
y Commissioner Wright discusses at
come length what he believes to he the
absurdity of the common Law rule pre-.
yailing In Europe and America, which
prohibits an injured employo from re-
covering damages from his employer
when the injury is the result Of the neg
ligence or unftness Of company EN-
ploye.

Indecent Contentious.
JOLIET, Ills, April 1S.-Thcre was
another bitter wrangle in the lecture
room of the First Baptist church last
night. It was prayer meeting night and
it was converted into an election Of
deacons to fill the places Of those depos-
ed at the annual meeting. The action
was precipitated by the friends OF DR..
Whitman, and the same boisterous
scenes were enacted Us at the annual
meeting. Three OF the old deacons
were elected by show Of hands. When
it was seen that the majority were in
favor OF DR.. Whitman, the church con.
stitution requiring IL ,hree.fourths vote,
was read and the entire proceedings re-.
considered amid confusion. The vote
then proceeded by ballot and the
struggle was.continucd' till a late hour.
The proceeding 10 the Charlottetown
church, finding DR.. Whitman guilty,
lay in the postotlice addressed to the old
clerk, and the new clerk has ordered
the postmaster not to deliver it to him,
and some costly telegraphing between
here and Joliet has been going on with.
