Accidents on American Rsilways.

President E. P. Ripley, of the Santa
Fe system, in speaking of the accidents
that transpired on the railways of
America. says, among other things:
Last yesr the trains on the railways
of the United States ran 8O2, 941 ,252
miles and of that amount 81, 538, 1888
miles were run at passenger speed.
One employ ee's life was sacrificed for
every 431 900 miles. Think again what
it ans to move q heavy train 100
miles or 10 miles or mile-the stop
ping and starting-tbe loading and un-
loading-coupling and uucoupltng-
backing and switching-multiply tn
up to 1000 miles and then thai again
up to 43l times 1000 miles. Remember
that more than 200 900 miles we're run
at night, and in every kind of weather.
Remember that it means that q train
was run 1900 miles every day in the
year-just SO miles for every hour of
daylight-week-days and Sundsys-all
the year round. Think of it as only
one train 90 moving aud keeping NOV
ing necessarily at so miles An hour
from the stroke of midnight that sees
the new year in to the stroke of mid
night IL months latsr, that tolls the
old year out Is it strange. ask again,
that somewhere, somehow, once in
ihoee 365 days and nights, one en-
ployee's life should be lost?'

A DREAM OF FLOWERS.
BY LOUIS DODGE.

BY LOUIS DODGE.
Far as the eye can reach the desert Hes
Afar the purple hills their vigils
keep;
High in the zenith blue lone hawk
Der pallid lards, deserted and as
leep.
And as the weary traveller, athirst,
Dreams of the limpid stream and
cooling showers,
/ turn me from the arid land accursed,
And dream of dewy morns and child
hoods flowers.
I see little window where the day
So bright and good into my room was
borne,
And 10. while birds uplift their matin
lay,
ssGood morn!"
T ace a path that left cottage door,
Aud wandered through gate ILL
hung and old
Where : all about the spring It's
blossoms bore,
ofred and white. of purple and of
gold.
And when 1 came from school with
eager feet,
Glad to be home and from confine-
ment free: .,
gsnce sweet,
A lilac bush. q bloom, awaited me.
And never gentle queen upon her
Wearing the purple of her high es-
Was statelier than that blossom, fresh
The purple lilscs by the ancient
gate.
And near the paling fence where, as
watched with Ion ging as the world
Through drifts OF russell leaves tne
viOlets wild
Raised small blue faces to the wide
blue sky.
And further down, amid their clumps
of green,
Transplanted from the wildwood auo
the glade
A picture quite the sweetest ever seen
The b.u.bel)s in their first fresh
blooming made.
And near the doorstep can still be-
hold
That royal flower that seemed in
deed q king
The tiger lily with its cups of gold,
Which bro lght such pleasure with
its blossomiug.
More strange than all can remember,
too,
The snow ball With its bloom OF spot
less white,
Which in that unforgotten garden
And with it's coming ever brought
delight.
And there were sunhowers tall and
strong and fine,
Which, l was TOLD, were flowers
coarse and mean;
Behind the house they struggled out
of line,
Beading their heads that they too
There were sweet Williams-ah, and
tulips too,
And sweet verbenas creeping DER
he grOuId,
And four o'c ocks, and pinks, and
wandering jew
All these aod more in that loved
spot were found.
Perhaps the flowers bloom as we'll to-
day
AS e'er they blossomed in an earlier
spring;
The kindly winds that kiss the earth
in May
May bring US all that they could ever
bring;
But somehow, they are not the same to
me:
They give not all the joy that erst-
while gave;
Their sunny faces have begun to be
The covering of so many silent
grave,

If the bushes of the Southern Pa

for the past eighteen months the COM
pany will be compelled to rush forward
the laying of second track between
this city and New Orleans. At this
time there are twenty-five miles out of
New Orleans double-tracked, and be-
tween Houston and Orange there are
four miles in similar condition. Every
siding built during the last twelve
months IL constructed 80 as to accom-
nodate an additional set of rails. The
vast accumulation of business at New
Orleans forced the company to make
the improvement mentioned some time
ago, and it was learned at the offices
yeste rday that work on this side of the
state line could be looked for in a very
short time. The business handled
during the month of February was a
large increase over the same month OF
last year.
J T Mahl, engineer of maintenance
aud way, has advertised for bids for
toe construction of eight and one half
miles OF track, the sam, being an ex-
tension of the Thibodanx, branch

Fourche to Napoleonville, La. Bids
will be received until noon April IA.
The plans and specifications are to be
seen at Mr.. Mahl's Office in Houston.
