DEADLY AMERICAN RAILROADS.
In One Year 376,5oo Persons Are In
jured While TRAVELLING.

Berlin.-Herr Gurley, an official OF
the archlve bureau Of the Prussian
railway administration, has prepared
a comparative table of statistics of
those killed and injured by railways
In various countries. He finds that
both absolutely and relatively the
railroads in the United States are the
most deadly. The United States has
more mileage than all Europe, but
even taking that into consideration
the United States holds prominence
in proportional figures Out of every
thousand railway employees the ratio
OF the number injured each year is
as follows: United States, ass;
Switzerland, $685. England. Ills; Bel
GUM, Il; Germany, "a.
Out Of every ten thousand employees
the relative figures Of killed are:
United States, eel; England, 1873;
Switzerland, 50; Russia, rs; British
India, 81; Belgium. Al.
Herr Gurley finds that In a single
year-the fiscal year of 1092-376, 500
persons were injured in the United
States, of whom 10000 were en-
ployes, and $500 killed, OF whom
5000 were employees.
