the RAILROAD RousTABouT.

The coroner's jury which investigat-
ed the collision of the two Rock Island
passenger trains which occurred
Thursday morning near Fairfield, re-
turned a verdict last night in which
they exonerated the Fairfield operator
and reprimanded the Rock Island COM
pany for putting too much work upon
the Fairfield night operator. Accord
ing to the evidence, the night man at
Fairfield must attend to many duties
that call him away from the wire and
leave him only Part OF his time to at
tend to that most important part OF
all railroad work, t. transmission and
delivery of train orders
The Rock Island Railroad company
is not the only one and Fairfield is
not the only place. to which this same
criticism may be well applied. At too
many of the smaller stations are
found men at night who do all the
work around the place, filling the du-
ties of ticket agent, baggageman, mail
| TRANSFER and telegraph operator, mean
while keeping order among the loafers
who infest the depot on chilly nights,
| watching the fires and keeping the de-
| pot clean. 1t is not to be expected
that roustabout, working for small
salary, will be infallibly careful, or can
be. And when this roustabout is given
the responsibility of hundreds of lives
the danger. of slip and resulting ia
talities is too great to be considered
without shudder by the travelling
public.
The evidence before ,-e coroner's
jury was not sufficient to give the
outside observer an entirely clear idea
o. just what occurred Thursday morn
ing. However it is plain that the op.
orator, L. g. Gray, had SO many duties
that he was compelled to leave his
key for much of the time. There is
little doubt, according to the testi
mony, that the wreck would have been
averted had Gray been ablezto stay al
the key throughout the night and the
conclusion is obvious. AS stated above
the Rock Island is not the only com
pany that can be criticised on this
score, and the occurrence at Fairfield
should serve as general warning. II
4 is only fair to add that there are rail
road companies who guard against
such occurrences as that of Thursday
and the same care can be taken by all

Overcome By Heat.

While at work in the fire room on
board the steamer Maryland last Satur-
day morning, Horace Massey, colored.
was overcome by heat, and died in a
short time from its effects. He was in
the employ of the B. C. & A. Railway
Company, on the steamer Maryland, and
his death occurred while the steamer
was at Finney's wharf. near Onancock.
For more than twenty years Massey had
been head deck hand on the steamer
plying between Baltimore and Snow
Hill, but about two weeks ago changed
his berth for that of fireman. Being
unaccustomed to this work, he was an
easy victim to the excessive heat in the
engine room. Massey was very valu-
able man on board the steamer, and
was known to all the shippers along the
line. His body was brought to Snow
Hill on the steamer, and Inferred Sun
day afternoon. He was about fifty
years old, and leaves wife and two
children.

The Fire Department gave an exhibit

Wednesday evening and fully demon
strated that there was no lack of water
in the two wells. or pressure to throw a
strong streamon a fire. The artesian
wells are in first-class shape. having
been examined by Mr.. Shannahan and
pronounced the best on the Peninsula.
1t was about one year ago when re-
port that there was some filling up of
the wells got out, and Mayor Corddry
sent for Mr.. Shannahan. He said that
one of the wells, which was not an ar
tesian well when he delivered them
over to the city, was now a gusher,
and had improved very much. The
pumps are in excellent condition and
the entire system is as near perfect as
could be expected. On the evening of
July 4th, the stand pipe did not have
sufficient water in it for the demands,
but Mr.. Vickers soon had the pumps
working fast and in few minutes the
water was climbing up the pipe. Orders
were given to turn off the stand pipe
supply SO that the pumps might play
directly in the mains and give the fire
department its usual fire fighting stream
of water. BY an error the stand pipe
was not cut off and the department was
working with only the pressure from
the stand pipe. The pumps gained so
rapidly that the water flowed over the
top of the pipe. We are pleased to in
form the people of Snow Hill that our
water supply is first class and the ma
chinery is in excellent condition.

the dog attacked the boy, fastening his
teeth in his arm, and cutting an ugly

his fathers store, dragging the brute
dog along by sheer strength. Not un-

store, did he succeed in shaking off the
dog. William was at once taken to

to be mad, and no serious consequences
are anticipated. The dog was large

near Friendship, met with serious ac-
cident last Monday about noon, by being
struck by Nhe south bound ID. M. &V. pas
senger train at that point. He was driv-
ing mule to cart, and had gotten out
at the crossing to hold the mule while
the train passed. The mule became
frightened and unmanageable, and in
his efforts to break away, bore Mr.
Smack and his vehicle upon the railroad
track. directly in front of the approach
ing train. The force of the impact hurl-
ed the team several feet, and Mr.. Smack
was buried under the debris. When
rescued, it was found that Mr.. Smack
had received severe injuries, his arm
being crushed, and he received internal
injuries. The five year old son of Mr..
Smack who was in the wagon, escaped
without any serious injuries. The wag-
on was demolished, and~the mule so
badly injured that he was shot. The
injured man was placed on the>train,
and fears were entertained that he might
expire before receiving medical aid at

Flood At Salisbury.

The worst storm in years passed over
Salisbury last Saturday Shortly after
o'clock the rain fell in torrents and
for two hours there was deluge. The
streets ran with water deep enough to
float small boats and cellars were flood
ed in all sections of the city. The two
lakes above the town overlooked. At
the Salisbury Light, Heat and Power
Company's plant the water reached
within half an inch of the danger line.
Lightning did considerable damage,
although no one was injured. Several
new houses in the course of construc-
ton had the foundation washed out and
the buildings damaged. 1t is thought
that when the reports are in from the
southern and southwestern sections of
the county it will be found that much
damage was done.
