Il
C. Morrison, q fireman ON q Short Line
freight engine accidentally fell from the
tender of his engine, while reaching for
the spout Of the big water tank at Adj
.amston Thursday morning at 8 o'clock
and sustained probably fatal injuries.
The freight train ON the Short Line
division OF the B. q o. stopped ut the
big water tank just this side of the Short
Line Junction station at 3 o'clock in
the morning, a. is the usual custom, to
take water. Morrison, the fireman, climb

Just the big spout through which the
water supply flows from the big tank.
The spout is pulled up out of the way
of passing train when not in use, and
he had to stand on the tip of his toes
to reach the apparatus to pull It down:
There is a pretty steep grade at that
poin. The train was made up of 81 cars,
and just as Morrison was in the act of
reaching for the big spout, the grade
caused the slack between the cars to
close, humping the cars together, and
throwing Morrison to the ground. The
shock caused by the humping threw the
fireman with heavy force to the ground.
In falling he struck one of the big tim
bers of the watert anlS structure, which
threw him around and he fell on his
head upon the ground. The base Of the
skull was fractured badly; rendering the
man unconscious. He was picked up and
taken to the Baltimore 8 Ohio passenger

church, that is, its work is in harmony
with other churches. The international

ANNOUNCEMENT.
THE coMMoNER FOR 1903.

On December II, 1900, it was
announced through the Associ-
ated Press that Mr.. Bryan was
about to begin the publication of
a weekly newspaper to be known
as The Commoner. Subscript-
ions began coming in Immediate
ly, and soon taxed the resources
at hand to properly care for
them. On January %, 1901, the
first number of the The Com
moner made its appearance.
The paper then consisted of eight
pages, but before the end of the
first year it was increased in
size TO twelve pages, and during
the second year to sixteen pages.
The circulation of The Common
er has made a steady growth,
each week showing an increase
over the preceding week until
the paper, as it nears the end of
its second year, has a circula-
ton of 10000.
The year 1908 will be full of
interest to those who are study
2g governmental problems.
During the next twelve months
the lines will be formed upon
which the next national cam
paign will be fought. During
this period it will be decided
whether the gold-corporation
element known as "the reorgan-
izers" will gain control of the
democratic party or whether the
\ party will remain true to demo-
cratic principles as they are sci
froth in the Kansas City plat
form.
1t is the purpose of The Com
moner to carry on campaign OF
education and organization to the
end that democratic principle:
may Triumph; and thinking mer
and women, of whatever politi-
cal faith, who desire to study
both sides of pending questions
will find in its columns much val
liable information.
