All Records Broken in 1908.

According TO statistics given out the
year OF 1908 broke all previous records
| in the matter Of death dealing accidents.
Probably when the complete record
Is made up, il ii ever is, it will show that
not less than 25,0O0 people met violent
deaths of some description. The figures 80
far compiled show that more than 1900
people in America, lost their lives last
year in railroad accidents, and more than
5000 others received in these accidents
injuries more or less serious. On the
lakes and rivers ,935 persons met death
in wrecks.
The death roll Of fires, floods and cy-
clones is quite as appalling. In June the
floods in Kansas and Missouri claimed
something like 300 victims. During
the summer cloudburst killed some
thing like 100 people at Hepner, Oregon,
and at Clifton, Arizona, another cloud
burst caused the death Of 81. At Spar
tansburg, s. c., So were drowned.
There we're many fatal fires the year
closing December 20 with the destruction
Of almost 100 lives within a few moments
in the burning Of theatre in Chicago.
But even more grewsome is the record
Of murders, suirides, legal executions and
lynchings. During the year 1915 people
were killed by some means ri unlawful
violence, during the same period 5,470
took their own lives. Burglars and hold
ups committed 4O7 murders during the
year. 1913 persons were legally ex-
cuted and I04 uct death at the hands
Of mobs, who took the law into their
own hands.
OF tho lynchings, 81 were in the south
and SO Of these were negroes, but only
30 were charged with the crime Of assault
on white women.
OF the large death roll Of the railroads
it is shown that more trespsssers lost their
lives than employees and passengers on
the road BY trespassers is meant people
walking on the track, lettering about
crossings and other places where they
had no businsss 10 be.
