DEATH DUE TO FALLING WIRES.
More Persons killed by These Thnn
by Railroad Accidents.

More Persons killed by These Thnn
by Railroad Accidents.
We have recently had an opportunity
to examine batch of newspaper clip
pings giving accounts of accidents due
to the falling of electric wires. These
clippings cover the months from May
to September, inclusive, but it is not TO
be supposed that we have found in them
reports of all or nearly all the acct
dents of that character which have
taken place. We have found enough,
however, to show that the matter is a
very serious one.
We find in the five months reports of
1872 accidents due to falling trolley
wires. In II of these accidents II per-
sons were killed, and in % of them 81
persons were injured and in IS of them
- horses were killed During the same
five months we find reports of 40 ac-
cidents from falling electric light and
telephone wires, showing that 0 per-
sons were killed in accidents and 27
were injured in % accidents, and
horses were killed.
The nature Of the accidents is very
familiar; that is, a broken live wire
falls into the street and a passer-by
steps on it or picks it up and gets u
shock which is often fatal. We thus
find, during this period, total of p
fatalities resulting from falling live
wires of all kinds. At this rate of NOR
tality, if it were kept up, so persons
would be killed in the year. In 1895
there were 80 passengers killed in
train accidents on all the steam
railroads of the United States, so
far as we have been able to as
certain. 1t appears. therefore, that
more persons are killed by live wire
accidents than are passengers in rail
road train accidents, and the difference
might be still greater if complete sta
tistics of the former were obtained.
There have been widespread and per-
sistent efforts made by the public in va
rious ways and for many years to mini
mize train accidents by legislation and
by agitation in the press and by inves-
LEGATIONS and recommendations on the
part of railroad commissions, but the
serious mortality due to live wire acct
dents does not appear to have attracted
much attention from the public. There
are simple and obvious means, which
we suppose are not very expensive, for
preventing accidents of this class; but
until the public realizes the serious
ness Of the situation and the practical
bility of remedying it probably little
will be done. We suggest this subject
as an interesting one for the daily
ncwspapers-Ra Railroad Gazette.

St Louis, August s1.-The labor con-
vention adjourned sine die tonight after
passing a resolution requesting President
Mckinley to convene congress for the
purpose OF defining the authority Of
judges in the matter OF injunctions
Another convention win be held In
Chicago September 9th, II the miners
strike is not settled by that time
The features of the afternoon session
were the speeches of Sovereign and
Debs. Sovereign said;
'Laboring people can vote for years
bu; nothing can be accomplished. Let
us reorganize this government, let US
stand up and assert ourselves. Behind
these injunctions stand gazling guns and ,
winchesrers. but we fear them not. Let
us hold up the flag and tear down the
courts. We stand on our dignity and
will have our liberty from this time on"
shouted Sovereign.
The convention broke into wild cheer
ing which developed into a spontaneous
call for Mr.. Debs. He arose from his
seat and came slowly to the platform.
When the cheering stopped Mr. Debs
began a speech which was interrupted
at the end of nearly every sentence by
cheers and handcIapplng He said in
part:
IT have said. and say again. for the
last time. 1 have appealed to the courts
for justice and shall appeal to them no
more. The A. R. U. expended $4,000. to
have the question of civil rights tested

No. The united voice of labor has been
raised against the appointment of Mr..
Powderly to a federal position and 1
notice that he was promptly put into
place (mingled cheers and hisses). From
the justice Of the peace to the justice OF
the supreme court of the United States,
all the judicial powers of the United
States are directed against the laborer.
All the organized sources of society are
against the laborer and If labor expects
labor itself must do H.
"The time has not quite come to incite
the population" said Mr.. Debs, shaking
his fist vehemently.
THE time will come to incite this
populace. When this time comes you
,an depend on me. (Cheers) 1 will not
stand in the rear and ask you to go
ahead will be in the front and say to
you: come on (renewed eheering).

'eople are ripe for great change. All

erence set the pace. Announce to the
