A DISPLAY OF GOOD SENSE.
What Railway Management Should
Do In Case of Accident.


In the last issue of The Railway Age
'eThe Inspector makes some very per
tinent remarks about railroad accidents
and the news interest attaching to
them If all railway managements
would follow the example cited, they
would find it greatly to their advantage
in the end. THE Inspectors article is
as follows:
The new management of the Della
ware. LackaWanna & Western since it
took hold has done a good many things
to attract public attention. The news
papers in New York and in the territory
commended and sometimes condemned
the innovations that have been made,
but the action of the operating depart
ment just after the recent accident at
Paterson has brought out the most
unanimous praise that one could inn
agine. 1t seems that one Of the super
intendents gave this order to his clerk:
e Communicate at once by telephone
with every newspaper in New York
Tell them that we have had a, bad &C
cident at Paterson, and while it reflects
seriously on US. we do not care to have
it made worse by ignorant misrepreSen-
tatiOn and e-ueSSWOrk. Ask them to
send reporters, the more the better, to
Paterson right away, and tell them
that if it is not possible for their men
to reach HOboken in time for our last
way to get them out there. Meanwhile.
give all inquirers all the information
that comes into your possession
This was rather unusual treatment
for the newspapers reporters to get
from railway officials at the time of an
accident. It is usually the custOm-and
for excellent reasOns-for railway OIL

Lawton's Disregard of Danger.

A correspondent of the Indianapolis
News in a letter to his paper written pre-
viOUs to the death of General LawtOn.
makes reference to that officers utter
disregard for danger as follows,
General LaWtOnAS orders are very ex-
pliCit- He insists that there be firing
of any kind until We have been fired
upon Amigos are all around US, and they
are in great danger from careless firing.
The general is now riding a beautiful
white horse. and in this connection Il
good story is told of him: last week when
a detachment of marines were ashore TO
assist in an assault, they themselves were
assaulted by the insurgents and while
the marines were hugging the ground and
wishing every blade OF grass was a stump
up rides General LaWtOu.
The men say that ii seemed he was on
and with a. large white hat, too and max
ing a tremendous amount of noise He
was laughing as gayIy as the Mausers
that We're singing about him and nodded
and chatted with his staff 1t was a rev
citation so the marines say of what all alb
sence of fear is even when under the
most dangerous conditions Shortly af-
terward one of his staff was shot through
both knees but LaWTOn did not ride away
until he completed his work. He has the
headquarters OF his division here in town
in modest house on a quiet side street
I found il crowded that the clerks
were compelled to do their work on the
pOrches. He often takes his son out with
him on his rides along the front and it is
an all wise providence that has spared
them, for his bravery is splendid in its
daring.
