ACCIDENTS NOT SO FREQUENT
AS A FEW YEABS AGO.
Many Safety Devices Adopted by
Railroad Companies Has Made the
Work of Their Employes Less
Hazardous Great Change That
Has Token Place in the Manage
ment of Railroads Greater Ha
mony Prevails Make-up of the
D., L. & W. Board for Today.
"A group of railroad men wore seated
In Inspector McCllnley's olllcu In tho
Delaware and IIud?on yard, discussing
railroad ace!detitn," says the Wilkes
Barre News, "when Yardtnastcr James
Urady said:
"'No, accidents to railtoud men arc
not nearly so frequent today as they
were years ago, and the many' safety
devices being adopted fiom day to day
arc all for the benefit of tho men.
Twenty-tlve years ago, in a yard such
as this, accidents would average about
one per week, but at present I am
happy to say we do not have one per
year. Good luck? Yes, and no. Most
of the boys were done up In the nu i Tl onlct. to qunify lls sucn denosl
days while making couplings, and tho j tory the bank ls obliged to deposit in
best and most careful of them were lhe tmlcrM treasury United States
liable to get caught. You sec, at that bonds to an amount equal to the above
time theto was no uniformity about TllL, Third National bank of this city
humpets, draw-heads or couplings, and j is lnt. 0,,iy oti,el. j)link ln tnt.Re districts
nen a leimw siupiieu in wurai iu-j
cars to hold a link lie naiin t the re-
motcst idea what he was up agalns
The bumpers of one car might bo sis
Inches higher than those ot the other,
nnd when the cais came together the
boxes cloved so light us to prevent the
slipping of a sheet of paper between
them. If tho luakenian who held the
link did not get out in time, you can
readily see what became of him. At
night when men were in a hurry the
danger was greater. Often have I seen
the most promising men crushed to a
pulp between the cars, all because tho
bumpets 'tode' each other.
" 'Then there was the difference In
the size, design and location of the
draw-heads. Some of them had broad
cavernous mouths, big enough to swal
low a inllroad tie, and others were
small, nanow things, scarcely latgo
enough to admit a link. Others, again,
were what were called a 'three-Ilnk-and-hook,'
and wete all right when
every car was equipped alike, but were
nasty things tn monkey with, when
necessary to couple them to an ordi
nary 'bull-nose' drawhead. You ses
the big Iron hook from which the three
links dangled ran plumb against the
diawhead of the other car when the
two came together. Occasionally tho
brakeman had to spend the fraction of
a second wot king the link Into the
drawhead, and us'ially the delay provej
fatal. Itaforc he could got awny his
lingers wete caught between hook nnd
draw-head, or, woip still, his arm was
crushed between the liumpeis. The old
Lehigh Valley, Jersey Central and
Philadelphia and Heading jimmies were
equipped with the thtee-llnk-and-hook
coupling, nnd I can till you no rail
road man expressed regret when tho
'jtmmle' was discarded.
" 'The difference ln the size of bump
ers often resulted fatally to tho rail
roader. One bumper was fourteen
Inches high and the other only six;
some cars had big bumpers with draw-
heads located squarely in tho centre,
A man who was tall enough to reach
over the bumper and hold the link from
the top rarely got caught. Hut the little
fellow who bad to reach from the bot
tom or, worse still, hold the link with
his arm tqunrely between thu ,blg
blocks, stood a poor chance of 'co-n-ttnuing
long In the set vice. He either
got cuught by tho wheels before he
could get out after holding the link
fiom beneath or had his arm crushed
while making the coupling straight out
from the shoulder.
" 'The patent coupler hus wonderful
ly reduced the rate of mortality among
railroad brakemen, and with Improve
ments being made will soon reach the
minimum. A man rarely haB to stand
between cars today to couple them, and
even when such position Is necessary,
he knows that bumpers and drawheads
are of uniform size nnd 'riding Is al
most unknown. In the old days one
could scarcely pick up n newspaper
without seeing such headings as 'Hand
Taken Off 'Caught Between Bump
er,' 'Squeezed to Death,' etc., but now
you will notice these arc the exception.
Railroading is about the most danger
ous occupation known today. In fact, It
surpasses fighting Spaniards or Fili
pinos, but It Is nothing like It was a
quarter of a century ago and he
walked away to straighten out a train
(or Carbondale."
Revolution ln Railroading.
One of the moat favorable points Ja
the situation is not having4 the atten
tion It detserves. We refer tu tho great
change wrought In tho railroad Inter
eits of the country during the last
few months. This revolution has been
not of a spectacular sort, but the re
sults are In every particular satisfac
tory. On this head Dow-Jones says:
"Never, In the palmiest days of rail
rpad pools' was there so much real
harmony and unity among: the princi
pal' roads as there Is today. This has
been accomplished by community of
ownership and united action by the
Miitrolltnff financiers. The new rela
tlons between the Pennsylvania anl
the Baltimore and Ohio ure an In
Htanco of the way things havr been
moving. Tho soft coal situation had
been solidified by the subKtantlal union
uml suct'opsful reorganisation of most
of tho Ohio Boft eout roads, us well is
by the Improved condition of Balti
more and Ohio.
"Tho western roads have fcettled most
of their dllllcultlcs, and dwell In peace
and harmony on most essential points.
The trans-continental lines are llrmly
controlled by financial Interests that
are dctci mined to have peace. Tm!
gulf situation has been cleared by the
bankruptcy and capture of the Pitts
burg and- Oulf. There In no blot on
the railroad situation today, for the
Hint time- in yours. Hates are certain
ly behiR maintained everywhere, and
arc being advanced In many places."

The mere reduction in the figures is attractive, and properly so.

Big things in silk and dress goods selling are a part of our

limited quantities or commonplace values. The silks and dress
goods we offer in this sale are neither limited nor common.
Thousands of yards remarkable aside from their cheapness.
This is a part of a sweeping clearance effort. It was
many years ago that we ceased to carry our winter goods
through the summer. These are silks and dress goods for the
fall and winter logo
