part of a freight train were ditched , thi
enginemen saving themselves by jump
ing , and at Wilber there was anothe :
small washout. At Wilber the reporter

An unknown colored man , who was
bumming bis way over the railroad , was
killed at Haigler , Wednesday , about
noon. He attempted to get onto Ireight
train No. 149 , and apparently was par
tially successful , but fell between the
cars and was literally cut to pieces b } '
the wheels. Two pairs of trucks were
thrown from the track , but no special
damage was caused.
A letter from there announces an acci
dent , Tuesday night , to Elsie Hobbs , at
Pittsburg , Kansas , wherein Elsie lost a
leg. It appears that he was switching
in the yards when the accident occurred
He is a member of the B. of R. T. , aud
this will entitle him to $1,200. His many
friends on the Western division , where
he worked until a few months since , will
hear of his sad accident with sorrow.
About one o'clock , Thursday morning ,
a number of cars on No. 77 were thrown
from the track at Max , by the breaking
of a journal or some unknown cause.
Three or four cars , some of them refrig
erator cars filled with dressed meats ,
were thrown from the rail and pretty
badly smashed up. The wrecker and
crew went up from here , a few hours
later in charge of Master Mechanic Archi
bald and the road was soon opened for
traffic and the disabled cars taken care
of. The accident fortunately happened
between switches , so that traffic was but
slightly delayed. The damage to cars
and contents will be considerable.
The First Railroad in America.
Gridley Bryant , a civil engineer , in
1S26 , projected the first railroad in the
United States. It was built for the pur
pose of carrying granite from the quarries
of Q uincy , Massachusetts , to the nearest
tidewater. Its length was four miles , in
cluding branches , and its first cost $50 , -
000. The sleepers were of stone and were
laid across the track eight feet apart.
Upon rails of wood , six inches thick ,
wrought-irou plates , three inches wide
and a quarter of an inch thick , were
spiked. At the crossings stone rails
were used , and as the wooden rails be
came unserviceable they were replaced
by others of stone. May Ladies/ Home
