of the jolliest and most optimistic rail
road men In the United States, repre-
senting the passenger department Of
the Southern Pacific at Houston, Tex.
While in that capacity he became ac-
quainted with Daniel ]. Sully of New
Orleans, and the two became fast
friends. When Sully went to New
York, more than a year ago. to open
a brokerage firm, he asked Morse to
go along as manager, at a salary Of
$4,000 a year. He accepted the posi-
ton, and through 1t has suddenly join

Eighty boiler-makers employed in

Sacramento struck In response TO no.
tice received from the Oakland branch
Of the boiler-makers' union. The un.

A report Of the number Of persons
killed and injured in the United States,
compared with the number in Great
Britain for the six months ending June
80, 1903, shows LII killed and 81
972 injured in this country, against
81 killed and $1,000 injured in Great
Britain. The railroad reports explain
this by the following statement:
Taking into consideration that the
railway mileage OF the United States
Is nine times that Of the United King.
dom. the passenger mileage two and 4
third times greater, the freight ton
mileage more than ten times greater,
and the railway employees two and a
half times az numerous, the Ameri.
can railways do not suffer in the com.
p~arison.
In July, August and September, I,
o25 persons were killed on the rail
roads OF the unitel States. an increase
Of $50 ove the corresponding quarter
for 1902. In the same time 14,162
were injured, an increase OF 5000 v
the preceding year. The increase Is
partly accounted for by the growth in
traffic and by the fact that accidents
are o much more fully reported
than they were in the preceding year,
The quarter was marked with the
most disastrous accidents. which
swelled the total of fatalities. a con.
dition which also will affect the re.

Winsiow Men strike.

The m~achinists at Winslow are out
on a strike. The night foreman OF
the sh 81 was discharged for hay-
ing a quarrel with a waitress in the
Harvey house at that point and the
boys in the shop insisted that he be
put back to work. This the company
refused to do and the m~achinists are
out. It seems that there was an off
Ger Of the Santa Fe company in the
lunch DON when the quarrel took
place and he insisted upon the mars
removal from the company's employ.
It is not thought that the strike will
be of long duration and the man will
be given his situation back when the
company realizes that there is liable
to be trouble.

Martin Gallegos and Julian Garcia
have become members Of the round

The men are taking advantage Of this
unusual state of affairs to give the
walls a thorough bath and the floors

Of cleaning the walls will be treated to

Work on the installation Of the new
turn table will probably be delayed for
som time on account Of the failure of
the center stone on which the table
turns to arrive. One was shipped from
Kansas several weeks ago, but did not
answer the conditions, owing to a flaw.
The supplying Of a second stone has
been interfered with by the billiards
raging In the east.

in a thoroughly up.to-date man.
ner.
Passing over the roast as being
unworthy of serious attention, the
Press begs to say to three stars"
that he is in error regarding the
number of games played between
Ballinger and San Angelo. Three
games were played here, Thurs
day, Friday ana Saturday, April
Z, s and 8. The score Of these
games was 6.5, 1G.1 and Ill re-
spectiveiy, and all in favor Of San
Angelo. On Monday and Tuesday,
May 8 and 10, two games were
played at Ballinger, the score be-
ing SO and I-3, San Angelo win
ming the first and BalIlnger the
second And then the six games
of June ., 3 anu 4 and of 6, and
s, of which number four were won
by Ballinger, leaving San Angelo
winner of 6 games out Of II
In the Ledger's own write-up of
the game there are few errors as
regards hits. Sledge has doubtless
counted every man making first
base as having made a safe hit,
when, if he will look up the rules
of score-keepiag, he will find this
is wrong.
That's all the Press cares to say
regarding the Ledger's efforts at
widening the breach instead of
seeking to heal it.
