ON RussIAN RAILWAYS.
There Are More Accidents Than on
Any other Continental
system.

Although railway travelling IN Rus
STA is slower than in any other country
of Europe, there are more accidents on
the Russian than on any other conti-
mental system, says an Odessa c~orrespon-
dent of the London Times. The aver
age speed of a passenger train is 20 miles
an hour, and that of the so-called fast
expresses" 70 miles. Approximately
speaking, there are now about 2S,0OO
miles of railway in European Russia.
According to an official return lately
published, the number of accidents last
year amounted to $3.50. OF these 1,212
were collisions, and 1921 derailments.
One thousand five hundred and twen-
ty-nine persons were. killed, and 1908
injured. The damage done to railway
stock was estimated at LOGO, 900 rubles,
a paltry sum as compared with the ter
rible loss of life and the number of peo-
pie injured.
The greater part Of the permanent way
In this country is laid without either
chairs or fish-plates, the old and Insecure
method of rivets staples being still
in vogue, a fact which largely accounts
for the enormous number of accidents.

In a recent report to the state de-
partment United States Consul Leroy,
at Durango, Mexico, refers to race
prejudice" as "a common American ten
dency, which initiates against us in this
country (Mexico)." He says that Amer
leans who go there to invest, to push
business connections or to locate and
make their own way, are too prone to
show contempt for the people of the
country. 1T is a narrow, short-sighted
idea of patriotism says Consul Lee
Roy, land a not well-founded race preju-
dice, which is, speaking of this partic-
ular district at least, a drawback to the
extension of American commerce.
Whatever American may chooset to think
of the Mexican peon class, it is undoubt-
eddy progressing, even in relatively back
ward parts of Mexico. A well-defined
middle class is already apparent and
the building of factories, railroads, etc,
and the work of the schools are con
stantly increasing It,"

Jury in BI0OdgG0d'S Suit for Pay
ment for Automatic Piano
Again Disagrees.
WAS Z; SECOND TRIAL

For the second time the jury in the
suit brought by Theodore Bloodgood,
of this city, against George Gadish, of
Camden, reported a disagreement,
after having been out several hours.
The suit was to enforce the payment
for an automatic piano which Blood
good sold to the Camden nan some
time last summer. This is the second
trial, the first having also resulted in
a disagreement. The suit was heard
in Camden yesterday morning in the
district court before a jury of eleven
men. The jury retired about 10. 30
O'Clock and must have been out for
several hours as Bloodgood did not
receive the dispatch from his lawyer
until this morning. There were two
lawyers on each side, the Amboy man
being represented by Lawyers Rex
and Sum, both of Camden. W. F.
Rex is one of the ablest lawyers in
the State. Mr.. Bloodgood told a
News reporter this morning that he
would now bring the piano back to
this city, and not carry the cast any
farther.

The next largest increase in ratablet
was in Middlesex County, being 49,.

county showing q decrease in ratables
is Sussex County, being $51, s27, or
