Fewer Railroad Accidents. Ther was a silver lining under tho financial clouds of 1007-8 in the form of a remarkable decrease in the number of railroad fatalities, according to a special report made public Thursday by Slawson Thompson, editor of the bureau of railway news and statistics. The report which is based on statis tics of the interstate commorco com mission, says: "There were 1,932 fewer fatalities to passengers and employes by railway accidents during the calendar year 1908, than in 1907. Comparing tho re turns of 1908 with those of the fiscal year, 190G-7, tho decrease in fatalities was even more gratifying being 2,173, or 43.4 per cent. Of these tho decrease in passengers killed was from 570 to 292, or nearly 48 8 per cent nnd in em ployed from 4,430 to 2,535 or 43 per "ent. "Fatalities to passengers in train ac cidents decreased 70 per cent in the calender year, 1908, as compared with tho fiscal year 1006-7, and 51 per cent among employes hurt in the same class of accidents. The decrease among em ployes is qualified by the fact that during the panic their ranks wero re duced by 15 per cent "laying off."
