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

We have recently had an opportunity
to examine batch of newspaper clip
pings giving accounts of accidents due
to the falling of electric wires. These
clippings cover thetnonths 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 acct
dents of that character which have
taken place. We have found enough,
however, to show that the matter is
very serious one.
We find in the five months reports of
1872 accidents due to falling trolley
wires. In II of these accidents IL per-
sons were killed, and in % of them 81
persons were injured and in Is of them
~ horses were killed. During the same
five months we find reports of 40 ac-
cidents from falling electric light and
telephone wires, showing that per-
sons were killed in accidents and 81
fwere inquired in % accidents, and
horses were killed.
81 The nature of the accidents is very
familiar; that is, broken live wire
fallss into the street and passer-by
steps ION it or picks it up and gets
shock which is often fatal. We thus
find, during this period, total of 81
fatalities resulting from falling live
wires of all kinds. At this rate of NOR
tally, if it were kept up, so persons
would be killed in the year. Ia 1895
there were 80 passengers. killed in
train accidents on all the steam
railroads of the United States, so
far as we have been able to as
certain. 1t appears. therefore, that
more persons are killed by live wire
accidents than are passengers in rail-
road train accidents, and the difference
might be still greater if complete sta
tistics of the former were obtained.
There have been widespread and per-
j sistent efforts made by the public in va
rious ways and for many years to mini
mize train accidents by legislation and
! by agitation in the press and by inves-
LEGATIONS and recommendations on the
j part of railroad, commissions, but the
serious mortality due to live wire acct.
dentsdoes not appear shave attracted
much attention from the public. There
are simple and obvious means, which
we suppose are not very expensive, fol
preventing accidents of this class; but
until the public realizes the serious
ness of the situation and the practica
bility of remedying it probably little
will be done. We suggest this subject

How Well-KnOwn WashingtOnian
Was Impressed In the West.
Mr.. j. Henry Small, jr., has returned
from pleasure trip Of several weeks, which
included the Yellowstone Park, the Puget
sound country, the Pacific coast, Colorado
and the middle west. He was much bene
flied by the journey in health, and enjoyed,
he says, every moment of it He was par
ticularly impressed with the business ac-
especially so with Seattle, which is now the
entrepot for Alaska. The natural beauties
of the west were, of course, remarkable to
him. A Star reporter who met him this
morning inquired of Mr.. Small If he had
time to observe things political on his trip.
ut would have been hard not to have
seen and heard things political in such
year as this" responded Mr.. Small, smiI-
ing. II found that business was a greater
issue in the Pacific coast states, and in the
middle west also, than any theories of par
ties. l was forcibly struck with the great
preponderance of Mckinley sentiment in
the coast states. The people out there find
business increasing every day, they told
me- and that with the orient growing stead
lily. 1 found the sentiment for continu-
ance of such conditions strong, especially
in the cities. 1t seems to me that the sole
campaign question with the west this year
is business. OF course, 1 was only on a
pleasure trip and was not keeping tab on
political pulse beats, but the conditions
struck me just as / have described and 1
think they would strike other impartial OBJ
servers the same way
