Railroad Accidents.

The record of train accidents in Feb
ruary, as compiled by the Railroad Ga
zette, furnishes some interesting figures.
1t includes 100 collisions, 121 derail-
ments and five other accidents, making
total Of 226. In these accidents Sc
persons were killed and III injured. OF
the 100 collisions, the causes of Sc, or
over one-half, were unexplained, and
Of the 12l derailments 50 were unex-
planned.
OF the killed IS were employees, 16 pas
sengers, and other persons, .. Accord
ing to the record 1O5 employees were
among the list of injured, and of pas
sengers 65: others; /.
The showing for February gives a
larger amount of accidents of all de-
scrlptIons than for any similar month
for five years, and the average number
Of killed and injured per accident Is
greater than for five years past In
spite Of these figures, however, the safe
ty of passengers has been as compare
lively secure as other modes of travel
In fact more so. Besides the loss Of
life, II the records were at hand, from
other accidents than by travel is Far
greater than that charged to the rail-
roads. Taking the chances into consid-
Grafton for sudden death traveller is
about as safe on railroad train as
anywhere else where danger always
threatens.
In calling attention to the figures
quoted above the Gazette refers to the
most serious casualties during the
month as follows: 1.-THE worst accident
in February was that at Ford River,
wis, on the Sth. There appears to be
no explanation except that u heavy
freight train, running at good speed in
a binding snow storm, neglected to
properly heed the station limits. An
other serious passenger train collision
appears to have been occasioned by a
snowstorm, that at Elm Park, Mo-, on
the 9th.
There are three disastrous freight
train wrecks in the present record: the
deraIlment at Helena, Mont, on the
18th. the buttlng collision at Gortou.
Pa, on the Sth, and the bridge disaster
at Terre Haute on the 23d. The dIsas'
ter at Helena occurred in the middle OF
the night on a part OF the line where
there are several tunnels and at time
when the temperature was 80 degrees
below zerc. The wind was blowing a
gale and the smashup was scarcely less
dramatic than the similar runaway on
the same grade about three years ago.
In the present instance several of the
cars left the track inside of the Iron
Ridge tunnel. The extent of the dlsas-
ter at Terre Haute may be partly mag
lned from the fact that the work Of
building a temporary bridge required
nearly seven days"

March Fire LOSSES.

The fire loss of the United States and
Canada for the month OF March
amounts to S1S,s49,2OO. and the total los.
for the first quarter of 1900 is S4O,531 ,5Ol
which is something less than $4,000.
compared with the same period last
year. During the month of March Just
closed there were 242 fires of create.
destructiveness than $4,000.
Besides being 100000 greater than
March 1899, one feature of the March
losses. which bears heavily upon fire
underwriters, is that the property d.
stroyed was in nearly every case fully
insured. The current year win proba-
bly, witness the withdrawal of quite a
number of fire insurance companies, as
some are already commencing to stag
ger under the combination of heavy
losses and inadequate rates.

Senator Clark Must Go.

It would have been surprising indeed
II the senate committee which has been
considering the charges of bribery
lodged against William A. Clark, sena-
.tor-elect from Montana, had not come
to the conclusion It did yesterday in de-
clarIng the seat OF that senator vacant.
Nevertheless the committee is to be
commended for Its unanimlty. of action,
there not being one dissenting voice.
The decision makes the rebuke to Sena-
tor Clark all the more severe, as not a
single plea was raised in committee in
thisidefense.
The story of Senator Clark's election
has never been equallad in the politics
of this country for brazen corruption
and open venalIty, and the exposures
that have been made In connection with
the investigation have inflicted disgrace
and shame on the name of the state o.
Montana that will take some time to
eradicate.
It will, perhaps, never be known just
how much money 1t cost Senator Clark
to get to the United States senate only
to be Invited to leave In disgrace. The
fight against Clark was the result Of a
bitter feud between two powerful
copper kings, who were constantly
struggling for the political mastery Of
Montana, They we're both Democrats
and relatives by marriage. They were
Marcus Daily and William Clark. It
has been frequently charged that Daily
had put up Job on his ancient
enemy when he was chosen senator by
the Montana legislature, and that he
alone was responsible for the charges Of
bribery made against Clark These
contentious, however, did not hold
water when sifted by the committee.
Clark has made a desperate fight and
in ex-senator Faulkner, of this state,
he enjoyed the aid Of the best legal
counsel obtalnabe. No doubt. as bit
ter personal enemy. Marcus DAILY VIII
rejoice in the downfall OF Clark, but 1t
is really an occasion for the most
mournful reflections on the part OF
every true citizen, who loves
his country that such a dis
graceful thing has happened. The
one commendablo feature, and 1t Is de-
cldedly encouraging for the future. Of
the unfortunate affair is that n solemn
duty has risen above partisan bias IN
the action Of the committee in rebuklng
an Outrageous Insult flung in the very
face Of the United States senate.

But Mr.. Abbott exhibits false bravado
