DEATH ROLL OF THE BIZ 70.
Fourteen Killed and Nineteen
Wounded in -Four Years.
MOSTLY AT GRADE CROSSINGS
Since The Times Agitation Caused
the Company TO Have All Its City
Crossings Guarded at Night There
Have Been No Fatalities and Only
One Person Was Injured.

Some months ago The Times published q
famous cartoon representing the hand OF
| death spread out over the grade crossings
| of the baltimore and Ohio Railroad tracks
| within the city limits. This angered the
Baltimore and Ohio management, which
| in It's wrath, gave orders that never again
should The Times be transported, except
| in the mails, over It's lines. The only result
| OF this prescription of The Times has been
an increase, heavy Increase, in its mail
To Baltimore and Ohio points.
That The Times cartount was merely
Illustrated history, was proved at the time,
and especially by the umbrage taken at the
| ghasuy picture by the railroad people.
1t will, In this connection, be very inter-
esting to read the dearh-ruu and the list
OF injuries uf that road for the past four
years, as prepared by the committee on
railroads Of the Board of Trade. This report
shows that in 1892 there were six killed
ana five injured; in 1893, seven killed and
seven injured; in 1894, one killed and six
injured and in 1895, SO far, one injured.
CROSSINGS NOW GRADED.
1t is not unfair to state that had tl'..
agitation OF The Times not compelled th.
heretofore recalcitrant railroad to guard all
of its intra municipal crossings after 8
O'Clock at night, the annual average or
deaths and injuries would have been main
tanned.
In the four years Of which this record
speaks, there were fourteen killed and
nineteen wounded, which is more than an
annual average OF eight In which death
was the actual result.
In order to show the exactness of the
Indictment published by the Board of
Trade, the following cases of death and
