o the Fulton jour-

Those of our citizens who had the
pleasure of listening to the address
in the Court House duringt the cam
paign, by Hon. w. S. Hathaway,
who was candidate for Railroad
Commissioner on the Republican
ticket, will remember that he advo-
Gated the enactment of laws, by
State Legislatures that would give
greater protection to railroad en-
.ployes against the dangers attend
ing the coupling of cars and setting
brakes on freight trains. 1t is no
little compliment to Mr.. Hathaway,
and certainly must be some satisfac-
ton to that gentleman to find the
President uttering the same senti-
ment in his message to congress, as
follows:
"In reviewing the recommends
ton which l have made in three
proceeding annual messages that
Congress should legislate for the
protection of railroad employees
against the dangers incident to the
old and inadequate methods of
breaking and coupling, which are
still in use upon freight trains, l do
so with the hope that this Congress
will take action on the subject.
Statistics furnished by the interstate
commerce commission show that
during the year ending June Both,
1890, there were forty-seven differ
ent styles of al coupling reported
to be in use, and that during the
same period there were 1850 en-
ployes killed, and 26, 140 injured.
Nearly 16 per cent of the deaths &C.
cured in the coupling and I'M
coupling of cars and over SO per
cent OF the injuries had the same
origin. .

stockholders have paid in their Sec
ond assessment in full while others
have not. All the directors are in
favor of carrying it through the court
in collecting the balance of the money
from all the stockholders. Some OF
the directors are in favor of pro rating
this money and paying it back after
all accounts are settled. At the same
time some of the directors favor US
ing this money in sinking a shaft
near the water works or on Hath
away's property Oh in some other

would be a great thing for the city.

American Cholera.
From the Daily Reveille, Whatcom,

From the Daily Reveille, Whatcom, Wash.
"T. c. Burnett, the democratic
candidate for sheriff, was taken
violently i'll at Clearbrook. He had
all the symptoms of Asiatic cholera,
and for an hour or two it was feared
he would die. They finally gave
him a dose of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,
which revived him until a physician
arrived" That is precisely what
the manufacturers of that medicine
recommend for cholera. Send for a
physician but give their medicine
until the physician arrives. II
cholera becomes prevalent in this
country next summer this prepare
ton will be in great demand because
it can always be depended upon.

Mr.. Edward Atkinson, the econo-

several reasons, chief among which
is the need we have for a million
men to build good roads. That
certainly is a good reason, unless
we have men enough here now to
build the roads. If there were any
confidence to be put in Porter's
census we might, perhaps, form an
estimate as to how many unemploy-

who could be utilized in building
the new roads which everybody ex-

Discuss sion still goes ON as to the
delivery of mail in large cities
through pneumatic tubes. Why
should it not be sent all over the
country in the same way? 1t is a
time of great enterprises ship
canal from the lakes to the sea, a
tunnel under the North and East
Rivers and New York City itself
and the utilization of Niagara. What
is to hinder the establishment of a
pneumatic tube service between New
York and the west, so that the
operator at the former point can
press a button o. pull a lever and
send mail flying to st. Louis or
Chicago with the speed of the wind?
There would be nothing half so re-
markable in it as there is in the
