RAILROAD NEWS.

A meeting of the citizens Of Brown,
Lincoln and Franklin townships was
held at Fellsburg Friday of last week
to consider the question OF voting
bonds for the new railroad which it is
proposed to build through this county.
The meeting was called to order by
Miss Shirley ellison. Silas Wright
was chosen chairman and Miss Eva
Schnatterly secretary. After n few
remarks by the chairman. Miss ellison
was called upon. She stated that the
purpose of the meeting was to ascer-
tain what could be done by the tax
payers of Franklin township in the
way of voting bonds and securing
right of way for the proposed line of
road from Wichita to Denver, Colo.
passing through Lincoln, Brown and
Franklin townships, with division
point at Kinsley. Col. F. D. West.
of Kinsley, a member of the board of
directors and a special agent to So
licit aid for the road, was then called
on and addressed the meeting at con-
siderable length. he presented the
charter of the new company, and read
the names of the board of directors,
officers and charter members. He
urged the Importance of securing right
of way and voting bonds. This much
accomplished he assured them that
the road would be built, but unless
this aid was secured there would be
no possible chance of the road ever
being built. AT the close of this adj
dress many questions were asked con-
cerning the intentions OF the new
company which were cheerfully ans
wered by Mr.. West to the satisfaction
of all present. Levi s. Smith, who is
also member of the board of direct
Ors and q special aid solicitor, made
a very able talk in behalf of the new
line of road. Mr.. Smith urged the
Importance of making an untiring
effort in securing all things necessary
to obtain the road. Antone Cater
man, of Franklin township. said that
he had always been opposed to bonds
ON general principles, but inasmuch
as the new company was now com
posed of his own county men, and not
by millionaire magna;es and railroad
pirates he was ready to reconsider
the matter, and had come to the con-
clusion that this was the opportunity
to secure a railroad and that he was
willing to vote bonds and do what
ever he could to secure the new road.
4. =. Shannon added largely to the
interest of the meeting by asking many
important questions and giving many
valuable suggestions. 1t was then
moved by Levi S. Smith that COM
mittee of three be appointed by the
chair to secure the services of an cleo
tion board TO serve in that official
capacity without cost to the county or
company. The following named per-
sons were appointed: Jesse Fisher,
} Lyman Miller aud Miss Shirley Gill
son. It was then moved that rising
vote be taken in favor of bonds, aud
the result was almost unanimous. The
meeting then adjourned.

was killed or injured on a Pullman
car in the state of New York, and that
although in the past three years the
company carried in the United States
a total of 32.639. .34l passengers, only
six persons were killed lin two disas-
trous wrecks) and only four persons
were seriously injured.
In connection with these figures, the
Scientific American presents the fol.
lowing:
Compare these figures with the
official statistics of railroad acci-
dents in any given year, say for
the year 1902. when 345 passengers
were killed and 6,6S3 were injured.
or the b. 500, O0o passengers that
were carried in the three years in
Pullman cars. only Oue in every
3250,OOO was killed or injured:
but of the $40, ,UOO, 600 passengers
carried during the year 1902 in or
binary cars, 1900 passengers, Or
about one in every $1,000, were
killed or injured. In other words,
OF two passengers who board
train together. he who enters a
Pullman has thirty-six chances of
reaching the end OF his journey in
safety against one chance of his
fellow passenger who enters an or
dinary day coach.
These results teach but one thing,
and that is all-important.
So long as railroad wrecks are
bound to happen, the manning and
the killing may at least be -minimized
by the construction of all passenger
cars on the safe lines of the Pullman.
The steel frame passenger coach is
no innovation. 1t is in common use
on the Illinois Central, while in
Europe not only are the underframes
of passenger cars mace of steel, but
there are large number of freight
cars of various types of metal con-
struction that have proved their dura-
bility by nearly half a century of SER
vice.
Comparison of the railway death
statistics of England with those OF
this country are startling. In Eng
land in 1902, the proportion OF passen-
gers killed was one in 9,2l1. .0O2, while
in the United States it was one in
1858
Surely it Is time that law should be
applied with rigid hand. There is
ever, of course, an element of accident
that cannot be foreseen and prevented
but in these wholesale killings lin
flimsy cars there is gross uegligenc
that ought to be branded as criminal
1t is indeed up TO congress to act.

From the very beginning OF the
