Labor Commissioner Bolton Gathers Up.
some Figures and Facts.
In compliance with the request of the
legislative committee, representing the
litferent orders of railway employees OF
the state, Labor Commissioner Bottom
in his report for 1891, now ready for the
printer, has succeeded in procuring re-
ports from engineers and conductors,
representing $500 trips, made during
the year 1891, has thoroughly analysed
them, and the results are submitted in
series of tables. These tables show the
hours on duty, number of miles run,
wages earned, and in short all the de-
tails affecting the work of the large
number of men engaged in train SER
vice. They are very complete, and the
analysis is exhaustive, and cannot fail 20
prove of inestimable value to that large
and respectful class of workers upon
whose Judgment and care devOlves the
lives and safety of so many of their fell
low citizens. In this report the en-
gineer freely tells of the difficulties,
dangers and responsibilities which be
set his vocation, and which. as the
commissioner well says, are family re-
allied By the mass of the travelling pub
lie. This is the first attempt yet made
by any labor bureau to obtain a full
and comprehensive statement from the
men themselves; and although many
difficulties We're encountered, they were
finally to large degree overcome, and
the results obtained are reliable and
accurate. The investiga-
ton involved vast amount of CORE
spOndence, necessitating personal COM
munication with upwards of 100 en-
gineers and conductors regarding the
details of their work

ing by drowning herself in stock pond
at the home farm near this city. She,
was suffering from temporary insanity.
Last October Miss Willis had a severe
attack of the grip, from which she had
never recovered. She had been in de-
Ginning health ever since. This caused
dependency and occasional spells of in
sanity. Thursday she was noticed to
be more restless than usual and wanted
to wander about. Some member of the
family was continually with her in her
rambles to see that she did not attempt
to take her own life, as this was sus-
pected to be her purpose. She went tc
bed with one of her sisters over night at
the usual hour, and it was supposed she
would be no further trouble for the
night.
