on the elevated railway at Consy Island
this afternoon in which fifteen persons
were injured. 1t happened at 2:45 o'clock,
and over five hundred persons were at the
station waiting for the train to carry them
to Brighton Beach race track. As the
cars were pushed into the station by
the engine q rush was made for
the rear car. Suddenly there was
a terrible crashing of boards. ollowed
by loud shrIeks. and twenty-five feet of tho
platform where the crowd was standing
caved in. The broken boards only dropped
eight feet, where they were caught By the
crossbeams and held. Fortunately, no
space was thrown open or the crowd would
have fallen to the railroad yard below and
been seriously injured. The injured peo-
pie suffered bruised. outs and n few broken
bones. The most seriously hurt was A.
Schneider. His hip and enc or two ribs
were broken. One finger was torn Off and

In 1885, only ffty.eight years ago ana
within the memory OF many business
men now In active business life, the
United States contained but about l,OOO
miles OF railway; was composed OF
twenty-five states, and It's population
did not exceed Is, 900, 600 souls. The
valley OF the Mississippi was It's western
horizon, and the great west and north
west were unknown and u%nexplored ex'
cept by the trapper and fur trader. To-
day more than 172, 900 miles OF steam
railways are in active operation within
its borders (nearly one fourth that oil
the entire world); giving employment
TO nearly one million persons, represent
ing a money investment Of more than
$40, 900, 900, 900, and giving q gross earn
ing Of over 81, 000, 000, goo per annum'
The four-wheeled open car with its box
sect for the conductor and the tiny en-
gines OF fve-ton weight have grown In
to an equipment OF 81, 900 passenger,
baggage aud mail cars, 1875, 600 freight
cars and a. 900 engines; while the little
group OF travellers who ifty-eight years
ago with fear and ~trepidation tried the
experiment Of being whirled along at
the extreme speed OF thirteen miles an
hour upon the newIy-inYented railway
have multiplied until in 1892 they num-
bered GOO, OOO. 600. The sisterhood of
states extends from the st. Lawrence
to the Gulf Of Mexico and from the At
lantic to the Pacific, while the popula-
ton has increased TO more than 50, 1000,

by him on the Chicago, Burlington &

the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago &

obscure young lawyer twenty-five years

hensive system a numoer OF lines OF
railway, most Of which were previously
unremunerative. The president of the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad COM
panY, ripe in experience from near
~ forty years service, sprang from
the ranks. The chief executive officer
Of the Chicago, Milwaukee and ST. Paul
Railroad company was fifteen years
ago struggling In Cairo, H., with the
varying fortunes, or rather m~isfOrtunes,
of the Cairo and V%incennes road about
one hundred and sixty miles long. The
President OF the Mobile and Ohio Rail-
road Company, formerly President OF
the Illinois Central, drove q team on the
tow-path Of q canal, then worked as a
track hand, then fred and subsequently
ran a locomotive engine. The Penn
