Among the Railroads.

It is matter of fact that there are
more fatal wrecks on American roads than
on those OF any other part OF the civilized
world. 1t is very seldom that the English
people, for instance, are killed and in
iured in such wholesome fashion by their
carriers There is a reason for every
thing; and it is difficult to dodge the con
clusion that the reason for SO many rail
road accidents in this country lies with the
officials Of the railroad corporations them
selves. The employees are generally trust
worthy and capable men, but it too fre
quently happens that the employe is over
worked. There comes a time, no mat
ter if a man be built OF iron, when human
nerves reach their limit of endurance, and
refuse to respond to extra demands put
upon them. Another reason undoubtedly
lies in the well-known hesitation of Ger
tain roads to spend a sufficient per cent
Of their profits TO keep their rolling stock
and their road beds in such condition as
10 readily handle, without endangerinS life
or property, a sudden increase OF traffic.
With overworked men and with over
worked stock Of all kinds accidents are al
most inevitable 1t is without doubt true
that the who actually operate the va
l.ious systems are just as careful of The

WAR BULLETIN FROM sIREs.
Intoxicated PussOn Done Smash tho GLASS
They Didn't Get Him.

War bulletins from lower Broadway
were scattered among the newspaper Of
fees yesterday afternoon. In them il
was told that there had been ructions at
III Broadway, where the Sire brothers,
who deal in real estate, trouble and the
atrical enterprises. have Offices War COR
respondents were at once despatched to
the seat of the disturbance. They were
directed by other inhabitants OF the build
ing TO the Sire brothers Offices on the
second floor,
There was shirt-waisted black man
on sentry duty at the front door of the Sire
Notifications. He has an excellent record
as a veteran Of the Sire brothers campaigns
in the III Broadway Offices and their former
defences in the Bennett Building on Nassau
street. When THE SUN representative ar
rived the veteran spread himself over the
only visible chair in the outer room and
issued the official reports.
-Yassir," said he, there was some little
trouble here"
At this point tall person with dark
thin face and hunted expression darted
out of an inner room, whispered in the ear
of the Tenth Cavalry's representative and
made a mastery retreat to the elevator,
while the COlored man said over and over
again, "Yassir, yassir., I'll see to that, s'r.
Yassir, that's what I'll tell EN-, sir" He
continued his statement to the reporter.
But desire to state" he said, "on T.

"Nothin'. That's what it was. There

The young man here In the offices went out

AL ADAMS STAYS IN PRISON.
New Trial Denied-Iiis Private Papers
Properly Used. II Illegally Seized.

The conviction Of Albert j. Adams, the
policy king, was upheld yesterday by the
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court.
Justice Ingraham writing the opinion,
SAYS that the constitutionality of the section
of the Penal Code under which Adams was
indicted ia well settled. and that his indct-
ment, which was attacked on the appeal,
was valid.
The evidence against Adams, says the
Court, fully justified his conviction, and
there is nothing in the record of the trial to
Justify a reversal. The only point of inn
portance raised by the defence was It's
objection to the introduction in evidence of
a large number of papers, including policy
slips, which were seized by the police,
acting on a search warrant, when they
raided Adamss place in Thirty-fourth
street and arrested him. 1t was contended
that the forcible seizure of these papers
was illegal and their introduction in evidence
a violation of the prisoners constitutional
privileges and legal rights.
The appeal court says that, even assum-
ing that the police had no power to take
the papers, which were of an discriminating
nature, there was no reason why they
should not be used against him, once they
had been obtained. II the police officers
acted illegally in making the seizure. they
can be proceeded against in court OF law.
Adams is in Sing Sing.

tor was very diffident yesterday and in

at is true that found myself with an
elephant on my hands. The gentleman
who imported the elephant considered it
WORTH az / remember it, some $3.50. Our
expert in elephants decided that that
valuation was too low and added 50 per
