employees TO
SAFEGUARD ALL

THE daily life of railway men is
surrounded with unusual hazards.
Long acquaintance with them has
made these hazards seem but a part of
the days work. Analysis of causes of
injury, however. shows that by far the
larger percentage could be prevented
if all employees we're always on the
alert to insure absolute safety in
every operation"
The above quotation contains the
text for a booklet which the Pennsyl-
vania lines are shortly to place in the
hands of every one of their $4,000 en-
ployes. The lines Of the Pennsylvania
system have determined 10 redouble
their efforts to insure to their em-
ployes social justice, healthful sur
roundings in their work and every
safeguard against danger
The booklet to be issued by the
Pennsylvania lines also contains the
following suggestions to the men from
the msnageemut
"This pamphlet is written in the
hope that its suggestions may assist
ydu in looking out for your own
safety.
1T Is a recognized fact that the
majority of injuries occur, not as the
result Of serious accidents which at
( tract public attention. but from the
comparatively trivial occurrences of
the daily observation-disclosures in
getting on and off moving trains, or
IN tho use Of tools, from reckless ex-
posure to unnecessary risks, or from
sheer thoughtlessness.
$50 far as practicable, the company
is doing what IL can to eliminate dan
gerous conditions. but 1t is evident
that they cannot bring about a mate
rial reduction in the number of inju-
ries without the hearty cooperation OF
the employees.
you are urged, therefore, not only
to watch out for your own safety. but
to warn other employees of danger. and
to discourage any acts Of recklessness
on the part Of those who, by reason
either OF their lneXperlence or theiI
familiarity with their work. fail tc
take proper precautions for the safety
OF themselves. their fellow employees
or the travelling public.

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
CLAYTON. Del, Jan. 20-Isaac n.
Mills. for many years superintendent
Of the Delaware Division Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, and one Of the
most prominent and popular railroad
men in the East, died at his home
here last night of paralysis, which
stroke he suffered yesterday.
Mr.. Mills was a years old, and had
been an invalid many years. In fact,
his retirement as superintendent OF
the division I'm 1891 was brought about
by a stroke of paralysis that affected
one side Of his body and impaired his
speech TO such a degree that II was
difficult to understand what he said.
Mr. Mills was so popular with the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company ana
had worked so Loyalty in It's interest,
that the post of special agent was
created for his benefit. and he held
that position until his increasing in
hrmities compelled him TO abandon
all work.
Mr. Mills is survived by a widow
and three children. His body will
I be inferred in Dover at noon on We'd
nesday
: When Mr. Mills was in his prime
/ he was regarded as one Of the ablest
railroad men in tn United States.
and he was beloved by his subordi-
mates as we'll as by his superiors
Apart from his railroad work he
evineed an acute interest in many
public enterprises, notably the con-
servation Of game. birds and animals
in this State He was a prominent
official of the Delaware Game Pro-
tective Association and scarcely a
session Of the Legislature was held
that did not find him in Dover work
ing earnestly for the passage of con-
servation bills.
Mr. Mills started his railroad
career as a brakeman on the Della
ware railroad about 1855. During the
Civil War he was the agent at Perry
Vile In 1870 he was appointed gem
eral agent of the company under II.
+. Kenney. who at that time was sup
erintendent When the Delaware
Railroad was acquired by the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company in 1887
Mr.. Mills was appointed superinten.
dent Of the Delaware division. N
which capacity he served until 1891
when he suffered a stroke of paraly-
sis. He was then made special agent
a position which he held until The
time of his retirement about seven
3 years ago.
