people in the city. Such an ordinance
should be asked for Or suggested by
every alderman in the city: and such
an ordinance should be insisted upon
by every officer of Grand Rapids. who
has the good of the city at heart, as
all apparently have. This is of far
greater Importance than it was to
have watchman installed at this
place.
The watchman does the best he can,
but he is on but one side of the tracks,
and sees nothing on the other side
when train is standing upon the
crossing. Whether he can see or not,
he is not perfect, nor does he pretend
to be. His signals are often miSuuder-
stood. and often cannot be given in
time to do any good to the paSsers by
at this place. What is wanted is an
automatic or other appliance that will
close this thoroughfare when train
ing signal that no one can misunder-
stand.
Since the item appeared in the last
issue of the REPORTER there have been
no less than twenty agreed with us or
the matter and at the same time have
related incidents that have happened
either to them or within their sight.
These incidents relate narrow escapes
from being run over, not only of grown
persons but of children, coming from,
or going to school. 1t is especially for
the little ones that care most be exer-
cised, though the parents of these
children have an equal claim on the
company's provision of safety appli-
anceS.
OF course the people 10 the city can
not and should not look to the local
agents or employees to see about get
ting these things necessary for the
safety of the city's people; it is not
their business to dc so. Occurrences
of the kind we mention should place
no responsibility upon them, nor have
they the authority to ask, suggest, or
make provision for such safety appli-
ance. It is for the city officials. and
no one else, to attend to these matters
and at once. After some one else is
killed on Que OF the four railway cross
ings most travelled, it will be too late

to install guard that will effect that
one citizen. The guard should be
asked for before anyone is injured on
these railway crossings, not after.
AS stated in previous part of this
article, the object of the REPORTER
in persistently calling attention to
this matter is purely in the interest
of the safety of the people of Grand
Rapids of which we are part. 1t is
paper of the people, and feel it to be
a duty to insist in this public manner,
on proper appliances against acci-
dents being installed. Pneumatic
railway streets gates are needed, the
people of Grand Rapids want them on
all railway crossings over the main
travelled streets, and the REPORTER
in behalf of the city intends insisting
on it's being brought about. by those
who should see to it. The matter is
one fit to be made an issue in the next
springs campaign for city officers, and
if the matter is not attended 70 as
common sense and safe business man.
agement directs, everyone'S influence
should be used to make it an issue of
that campaign. 1t is matter pertain
ing not only to mere money question
as most political issues do, but it is a
matter of the safety of life and limb
for those who have to cross these
places. especially the one farthest
west on Grand avenue; and when safe
ty of life and limb enters into any
question, it is time something was
done other then accept promises, and
to buster and blow. We would like
to hear expressed any difference of
opinion on this matter, as it's discus,
sion can but result in the public'S
good.

switching was to be done, he went
cut onto the platform, told his brake
man OF the orders, signalled the
engineer, and caught onto the side of
the nearest box car and rode with the
train which then began to back to-
ward the west. This was the last
that anyone saw him alive, and as a
consequence, no one knows whether
he slipped and fell to his death or
whether he was knocked from the
car.
Brushed off Side Of Car?
The theory that best answers the
question of how his death came about
is this: when be got onto the box Car
at the depot, he began to climb to-
ward the top slowly, The train was
moving backwards at abcut yard
limit speed and there are many that
believe the victim of the accident was
brushed off the side of the car by the
roof of the scale house, about 100
feet from the depot. If this theory
be true, he must have gone but a
short way up the car side, and must
have been struck on the body by the
projection roof of the scale house,
the force of which blow threw him
in between the cars.
Hall Of the Train Passed Over His Body.
The hand rails are SO situated on
the cars, that Cne struck in this way
would be thrown in between the two
cars, and this is believed to have been
the way this accident happened. The
spot where he was run over is about
thirty feet from the scale house, so he
must have clung to the car for a ways,
and tried to save himself. His lantern

Winnipeg, Man, April 13.--The move

that crop reports published all over the
