The Massachusetts City Of Cambridge
has recently celebrated with exercises
IN its factories, its churches and its
schools. the completion Of its tenth
year as a mo license" town. 1t is gen
orally admitted that the city is more
orderly and more prosperous than ever
before. and there is no disposition to
revoke the Punishment pronounced up
on the saloon. The no-license policy
has not entirely done away with the
sale of liquor in Cambridge, but as one
Of its supporters says, 1t has made 1t
easy for q man to do right. and hard
for him to do wrong.

Weekly Report of the State Crop
Service Throughout the State.
There could not be much of an i'm
provement made on the weather of last
week, and all vegetation has grown rap
idly. Early-sown wheat has fully re-
covered from the effects Of the late
frosts, and that which was sown late
and during the dry, cold period, has
come forward rapidly, and promises to
rival that early-sown. Oats and barley
have been badly injured by frosts.
which have also injured and retarded
corn, potatoes and gardens. The rain
fall has been ample to revive vegeta-
ton, and at the same time to saturate
the ground to quite a depth; the heavi-
est rainfall ever recorded in this state
during twenty-four hours having fallen
this week, being 40 inches at McKin-

heaviest previous rainfall in twenty
four hours was $40 inches at Fort Tot

DEATH DUE TO FALLING WIRES
More Persons Killed by These Than by
Railroad Accidents.

More Persons Killed by These Than by
Railroad Accidents.
We have recently had an opportuni-
ty to examine a batch of newspaper
clippings giving accounts Of accidents
due to the falling Of electric wires,
says. the Railroad Gazette. These clip
pings 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
accidents of that character which have
taken place. We have found enough,
however, to show that the matter is q
very serious We find in the five
months reports of 122 accidents due to
falling trolley wires. In II of these
accidents IL persons were killed, and
in % of them 81 persons were injured,
and in IS Of them "a horses were kill
ed. During the same five months we
find reports of 40 accidents from fall
ing electric light and telephone wires,
showing that 9 persons were killed in
9 accidents, 81 were injured in % acct
dents and 2 horses were killed. The
nature of the accidents is very famil-
lar; that is, a broken live wire falls
into the street, and a passer-by steps
on it or picks it up and gets a shock
which is often fatal. We thus find,
during this period, a total of 81 fatal
tiles resulting from falling live wires
of all kinds. At this rate Of mortal
ity, If 1t were kept up. so persons
would be killed in the year. In 1895
there were 38 Iassengers killed in train
accidents on all the steam railroads Of
the United States, so far as we have
been able to ascertain. 1t appears,
therefore, that persons are kill
ed by live-wire accidents than are pas
sengers in railroad train accidents and
the difference might be still greater if
complete statistics of the former were
obtained. There have been widespread
and persistent efforts made by the pub
lie in various ways for many years to
minimize train accidents by legislation
and by agitation in the press and by
investigation and recommendations or
the part of railroad commissions. bu:
the serious mortality due to live-wlrs
accidents does not appear 10 have at
tracted much attention from the. pub
lie. There are simple and obvious
means. which we suppose ara mt very
expensive, for preventing accidents Of
this class; but until the public realizes
the seriousness of the situation AID the
practtcability of remedying it i,ohably
little will be done. We suggest this
subject as an interesting n tor this

were denied the privileges Of religious
