His skull had been crushed, an arm and leg broken, his ribs fractured and his spine injured. He was carried aboard the train.
 Meanwhile an investigation showed there had been no danger to the train. The signal lights of the switch light showed an unobstructed track.

aoFF SPEAKS ON ANARCHY.
The New York Recorder Discusses
 Social Conditions.

New York, Jan. 15.-Recorder Goff has delivered an address before the Nine teenth Century Club on Anarchy which is attracting considerable attention here. In part. the Recorder said:
 For us who are gathered here in this we'll appointed and beautiful chamber, under the glare of these electric lights, it is perfectly proper to agree that an- archy is abominable.
 .'I think we assume a little too much if we make the mistake of congratulat- ing ourselves on the present state of so- ciety or our position in it. The aristoc- racy and nobility of France took the same position before the revolution in regard to what they called their rights. The nobles amused themselves in luxury and wealth. while the poor starved. Who were the anarchists. the people, or they?
 You cannot extirpate ideas by legfs- lation," he said. Laws never made men and women virtuous. If the idea is right 1t will triumph and the repressive methods will prove only so much fuel to feed the flames. When wrong. ideas die of themselves. In dealing with anarchy. let us remember that if our government is founded on righteousness, then an- archy is a craze and this craze will pass as other crazes have in the world 8 historyh
