BABY IN BARREL FOUND
FLOATING DOWN RIVER.
Youngster Snugly Tucked in
Blanke. Seemed Well
and Happy.

Glasgow, KY. March 81. --
Great excitement prevails in
Monroe county over the finding
of a little baby floating down the
Cumberland river in a barrel.
The baby was a boy and seem
ingly about one year old. The
barrel was securely fastened TO
two logs and was so arranged
that the youngster could not
crawl nor fall out. The baby
was well dressed and was resting
on a cosy little bed in the barrel
snugly tucked in a blue blanket.
Pinned upon the dress was a
slip OF paper with the words,
Goodbye. Willie, written upon
it. The child is being tenderly
cared for, and in the meantime
every effort is being made TO
find out the starting point of the
youngster in the hope of obtain
ing clew 10 its parents.
Nothing in years has caused
so much comment and indigna-
ton among the citizens as the
finding of the baby on his lonely
journey exposed to the bad
weather.

LEARNED WORK By DEGREES
Safe and Economical Management OF
Railroads Has Been q Matter Of
Slow Growth,

Railroad running had a remarkably
slow development. AS late as 1865,
on one OF the most important roads,
the plan was that conductor should
telegraph from station to the con.
ductor Of an opposing train at the next
station announcing when he would
leave and where he would meet the
other. After the two had arrived at
an understanding they went ahead on
their own Initiative.
With the growth OF traffic follow.
ing the Civil war 1t did not take rail-
road men long to discover that this
was not the best way OF managing
operation. At the outset the train
dispatcher was usually conductor or
an engineman who knew the road and
its rules, but knew nothing OF the
Morse code. To supply this deficiency
he was supplied with an operator.
The early train despatchers were
on duty whenever required, regard
less OF the clock. Traffic was light,
extras were rare. and In general the
time table sufiiced to direct the oper-
alton of a division. So far as possible
trains were run only In the daytime.
AS business increased two despatch
ers took the place of the one previous.

daylight. the junior at night. Then IT

Preventing Accidents.

As a means OF cutting down the
number of accidents to employees the
Chicago & Northwestern railroad
has organized what is called the safety
committee system. It consists of 500
officers and men in the employ Of the
organization at different points who
are directed to make reports of all
sources of danger that they may en-
counter in the course of their business.
For instance, the members of the
committee call official attention to q
protruding arm or deposits Of lumber
at stations. unprotected openings and
make suggestions Of any character
which may serve the desired object.
The work Of this committee has
shown a very practical result in that
the number Of persons injured about
the yards and shops Of the company
has shown reduction Of II killed and
