Horace }. McGce Seriously Hurt.

Grcenville, June 22.--Horace J.
McGee, well known insurance man
Of Anderson, had a miraculous escape
from death yesterday afternoon late
when he was struck by passenger
train No. 40 at the Southern depot
in this city. Mr.. McGee, who is gen
cral manager for the Southeastern
Life Insurance Company in Anderson,
had been in Grcenville on business,
and was at the depot to take the gas
electric car back to his home when
the accident occurred. He placed his
grip on board the car, and, walking
around some other cars which were
on the track, he stepped directly in
front Of No. 40, which is due here at
$50 o'clock, which was coming into
the station on the main line. The
fact that the train was running
slowly was all that saved Mr.. McGee's
life. He was thrown several feet by
the "cow-catcher" OF the engine, re-
ceiving serious injuries His left
hand and left foot were considerably
mangled and cash cut in his left
side

STATION MASTERS. BEWARE:
Rock Island VIII Not Tolerate Incor-
rect Figures on Bulletin Boards.

Chicago. H. Dec. 9.-Railroad en-
pIoyees who post notices on bulletin
boards that trains will be on time when
they know they will be late, ought tn
be sent to Jail. according TO NJ L. Bell,
attorney for the Rock Island Railroad.
Mr.. Bell made this statement before
members of the Illinois Railroad and
Warehouse Commission. Charges nad
been made that the Rock Island fur
nishes poor passenger service between
Chicago and Joliet, and that its time
abIes between these points are more or
less of a joke. The chief complainant
was Joseph y. Mott, who represented
d number of residents of Washington
Heights
Any railroad employee who knowing
~ posts such a misleading notice ought
to be put in the caIaboose for twenty
four hours" Tetorted Attorney Bell
Engineers who Tiolate rules regarding
the passing of trains at passenger sta
lions also ought to get a jail sentence
That is the most effective way to stop
such practices. The Rock Island does
not regard poor service as a joke, and
will welcome all suggestions for I'm
provement-''
Mr.. Mott pointed out that the Rock
Island has abandoned the use of step
ping boxes on a number of trains. We
have had too many accidents on &C
count of the use Of stepping boxes,
