Takes TWO To See It,"

Il think that this fast running of
passenger trains within the city
limits" sal travelling man last mig 1T
"should be stopped. came
in on the limited from the
east today and my heart was in my
throat while coming through the g.
FL. & S. A. yards. 1t seemed to me as
if we made much faster time through
these yards than at any point along
the road. OF course this was on ac-
count of there being so many frogs aud
switches, but il we should have happen
ed to leave the track, Lord help U.S.
A man who was known to have been in
the yards at the time the limited came
through was asked by reporter this
morning if he saw it. WELL" he re
piled. "there were two
of standing together and l
said here it comes and he said
there it goes, and that is as much as l
can tell about it. l think there were
several Pullmans on the train but
could not swear to it," When asked
what he thought the result would be
should the engine jump the track. he
said that in his opinion few on the
train would escape being killed but
that he could not swear to at either.

HE HAD A RAZZAR.
A Very Exciting Chase Witnessed by
the 6 H. Employees at Noon Yes
ford7U

AT noon yesterday the men return
ing to work At the G. A. shops after q
hearty dinner were treated to scene
seldom witnessed.
A few days ago a colOred man named
Nose Session. and his wife moved into
building directly across the street
from the @. II. rouudhouse. Their ex-
istence, as man and wife did not seem
altogether happy and at noon yester-
day the woman was seen to leave the
house rapidly and run in the direction
of the main portion of the city.
She was closely followed by
q vicious looking colored man
with razor in his hand. One of the
shop men called to the woman and ask
ed her if she was afraid of her pur-
suer and as she increased her speed
che said: You bet Is, white man.
Dat niger is bad man wild a razzar !"
For a short time the space between
| the colored man and his wife was ra-
pidly closing and it looked as if muir
der would be committed, but when the
woman reached one of the main thor
oughfares the man with the razor gave
up the chase and returned to his un-
happy abode. The occurrence was re-
ported to the authorities and Deputy
Constable Good placed Session. under
arrest and he was srraigned in the JUS

TRIALS OF RAILROADER
Figures Showing That Rdilroading
Is More Dangerous Than Soldier
lng-One Interview Recalled
and Another induced in.

lng-One Interview Recalled
and Another INDUCED in.
At the beginning of the trouble with
Spain few months ago HERALD re-
porter was stopped on his rounds by an
indignant switchman in the G. II. & S.
A. yards who said that he was engaged
in more dangerous and destructive
| war in his every day work than were
those who had enlisted to defend the
| honor of America in her bloody COM
bat with the Spanish army. AS the
| files of the HERALD will show be made
a comparison which is in striking ac
from Locomotive Engineering, Journ-
al of high standing among the railroad
len of this country.
A correspondent of the Chicago Rec
ord makes the following instructive
com parisOn between the number OF
trainmen on the railways of the United
States who were killed and injured
during the last year and the mum Der of
soldiers who were killed, wounded or
died of disease during the war: Our
ing the year ended June 80, 1898. 162,-
1873 trainmen were employed. OF these
1,073 we're killed while in the perfor M
ance of their duty and Is, 1886 were in
jured, which gives a percentage of 0 IS
killed and 9. Z per cent injured. The
whole number of soldiers in the army
did not at any tine exceed 265, 900. OF
these 1924 we're killed or died of dis
ease, which number WAS 80 per cent,
of the whole, and 1850 were wounded,
which was O.5S per cent of the whole. In
other words, one out of every 152 train
men was killed and one out of every
ten was injured. while in the army one
soldier ont of every 10l either was
killed or died of disease, while one out
of every 1859 soldiers was wounded"
When shown the above clipping this
morning switchman employed in one
of the yards said: THAT is an no.
deniable fact. 1 we'll remember the
indignant talk switchmau made you
some months ago which the HERALD
was fair enough to publish. 1t show
ed that we are at present facing far
more deadly fire than were the soldiers
on San Juan hill. More men spend
their lives in the army and die natural
deaths than they do in the railroad
service. Here is where the in
teresting comparison between a
railroad man aud one of Uncle Sans
subjects comes in. When a man be-
comes fit for the superannusted list in
the service of this government he is
placed on the retired list with a juicy
income. but when railroad man be
comes to feeble to longer render the
service required of him by railroad
company, if he has not the wherewith
to take care of himself, he is sent to
the poor house, there to watch the last
days of his useful existence fade away
at the expense of this or that county. If
he becames crippled for life in the act
of performing his duty, while still in
the bloom sof youth, he is placed as
fagman at some road crossing at the
'princley' salary of $40 per month. Oh,
the path of railroad man is strewn
with roses, but 1 am sorry to say that
they are of last years product and the
beauty has faded and nothing but the
thorny stems remain.''
