The simple blouse that allows es-

embroidery on linen and materials

ACCIDENT TOLL
IS VERY HEAVY
Railways Kill and Main Many
in Course of Three
Months.

The numbers of persons implicated in
train accidents during the months of
January, February, and March, 1909,
as shown in reports made by the rail
road companies to the Interstate Com
merce Commission, was 663 persons
killed and 1922 injured. Of these,
III killed and 2618 injured were pas
sengers. These figures do not include
accidents to employees resulting in
slight injuries which would prevent
them from performing service for more
than three days during the ten days
following the accident. The figures for
the quarter mentioned are slightly less
than for the two previous quarters not
withstanding the fact that both freight
and passenger traffic had increased. The
accidents mentioned were results main
ly of collisions and derailments. During
the period there were 1912 collisions
and 1912 derailments, and of these
figures, 16S collisions and AS derail
ments affected passenger trains. The
total damage to cars. engines and road
WAYS from these accidents amounted to
81 ,s47 .202.
Among the causes for collisions, the
most common were carelessness and
neglect in despatching trains, and in
ordering sidings and waits. The mat
tention of enginemen to the details of
their orders is also a prominent cause.
In few instances righteousness on the
part Of employees or others was the
cause of either collisions or derailments.
Most of the derailments and other ac-
cidents are caused by imperfect knowl-
edge in constructing roadbeds and track
in accordance with the demands of the
traffic. They were largely due to i'm
perfect engineering and construction

the $3.50 per day he was supposed to
do any work the judge might tell him
to do.
