Railway Disasters.


Said a railroad man of large experience.
speaking of the recent disaster at Jack
son: Il hope to see the time when the
laws Of the United States will require all
roads to run only vestibule trains. OF the
five recent wrecks through rear collisions.
had the trains been vestibuled, in every
case but one the loss of life would not
have occurred and the destruction of
equipment would not have been one-tenth
as great. In four cases the reports show
that coaches of different roads were in the
trains, and in all probability the plat
forms or some were higher than those OF
tne roads coaches, SO that when the col
Hsion came the highest platform rode
over the lower. then on through the coach
causing the destruction of the coach loss
of life and personal injuries of a serious
nature. such as would be impossible were
the trains vestibuled, as, when properly
vestbuled. the coach platforms of the
sleeping cars, day coaches and baggage
cars form solid train, and, while the
rear coach or sleeping car may suffer
some, beyond that. except a heavy jar.
Another fault In running passenger trains
at the present day is there are not enough
men TO look after the train. Trains of
twelve coaches are running through Indi-
annapolis every day with no more train
crew than has the four-car accommodation
train. so that in case of accident even IL
well forewarned, the old method of stop
ping trains by hand brake becomes OF
little avail. He well understood the sit
udeAOH dl JdCkSOn. Allcn., and he could
not see any possible excuse for that ac-
cfdent. He was satisfied that the second
section was coming into Jackson at a
much higher speed than has been stated
This mixing of coaches in trains to handle
the worlds fair business is a reckless
proceeding. and the only wonder was that
wrecks had been so few, but we might
look for the telescoping of passenger
trains until the vestibuled train comes into
general use. At least 1t would protect the
innocent passenger against the reckless en-
gineer. who. eight times out OF ten suffers
In collisions, either rear or front-end.

LAST SUNDAY FAIR.
CHICAGO, July 17-Sunday, July Is,
was the last open Sunday at the
Worlds Columbian exposition. 1t was
also the day on which the entire gate
receipts of the worlds fair were to be
devoted to the relief fund of the
heroes who lost their lives in the
cold-storage fire while obeying orders.
Even the cause to which all Wis
itors contributed their portion failed to
bring out a large crowd Forty-nine
thousand four hundred and one persons
paid to enter the exposition gates Sun
day. There were 2,403 children's tick
cts sold. This gives the fremen's ben
eft fund $24, 099.75 The tickets re-
ported do not represent the total
amount sold. for there were thousands
of persons who took the opportunity
offered by purchasing admissions to
contribute to the relief fund but who
did not attend the fair. When all the
returns are in it is probable that 800
600 Will be added TO the fund from this
source. The fund, exclusive of the sale

The Unitarian Entertainmcnt--Notes and
Personals.

The Unitarian Neutrality-suspicious. ana
Personals.
POMONA, Oct. 20.-The Unitarian en-
tertainment was quite unique and
novel affair last evening.
The curtain rose upon a party OF
young vnd old folks in picturesque cos
tune, hugely enjoying what purportes
to be genuine old-time husking bee.
interspersed with story telling, songs,
dances and other old-time pastimes.
Around the walls OF the opera house
huge stalks of corn and at the tables
were served nearly all the dishes that
can be made from corn, or that has the
sound of corn in its name for that mat
ter.
The general verdict was that the dec.
orations were as unique in character,
and in the matter of enjoyment up to
our floral shows the people patronize 80
freely and we enjoy 30 much.
Today has been what we would call an
American holiday, in matter OF num-
bers, for it has been circus day and
everybody turned out. AS to the circus
everyone who had read the morning
paper, and great many after viewing
the parade, wended their way home.
That shows the value having a daily
paper and the power of the press.
Sunday morning at IL the Unitarian
church will celebrate the Worlds First
Parliament of Religions, Rev. Mr..
Pierce will speak on The Parliament and
Its Lessons. There will be Responsive
readings specially arranged from the
scriptures, and the congrega-
tion will einp the hvmns used at the
great parliament. The service will be
quite unique.
Len Claibone was in Los Angeles yes
terday.
A number of the young men expect
to go to the hop at Ontario on Saturday
night.
Quite a sprinkling of Ontario's citi-
zens were over today to see the circus.
Mrs. f. J. Martin was a passenger to
Los Angeles today.
Mr.. Charlie Reeves went to the fair
today. He expects to view the big race
tomorrow.
