Last l-'riday afternoon this community was painfully shocked by the announce ment of the fatal injury of Frank E. Crandall. It is stated that he was walk ing backward over a freight train, that he fell between the cars of which seven teen passed over his body, severing both legs and an arm and injuring him about the head as well. He lingered a few hours, but expired before the arrival of the special train from this city bearing his mother. The accident occurred about four miles from Bloomington. The remains were taken to Tuscaloh, Illinois, for burial. There is the deepest sympathy in this community for the bereaved ones. The deceased was an exemplary young man, and highly esteemed by all.

This week James Swearingen, the esquire, engineer for the Burlington route, notified his friends that for the first time since the strike he had come in with a double header. The boys, who knew that Jim pulled the throttle on the switch engine marveled at such talk, and wise heads said Jim was off, but Jim knew that it was a fact and when press ed for a better explanation, he remarked that at 2:30 Tuesday afternoon his wife gave birth to a pair of twins, and if that wasn’t a double header, he’d quit rail roading. The boys saw the point, and now they dub Jim the “Great Mogul” and he sets up the cigars right along without waiting for a fellow to ask.— Red Cloud Chief. The Inter-State Commerce Commis sion, organized by the Federal govern ment for the purpose of studying railroad statistics, recently completed a report on the operations of the United States. It appears that there were 1,890 railroad corporations in the United States during the year ending June 30th, 1893. They received in that period nearly a billion and a quarter of dollars. They carried 593,560,612 passengers over 14,229,101,084 miles and transported 745,119,482 tons of freight a distance of 93,588,m,833miles. These operations were conducted on 176,461 miles of railroad. In round numbers 900,000 of employes of all grades are supported by these roads, making one person in every ninety of the population of the United States. Accepting the stated capitalizations which the companies have reported, it appears that on an investment of $10,500,000,000 less than one per cent, of dividends were paid. It is calculated that out of every dollar that was receiv ed by the railroad companies, 75 cents went to the employes.—Scientific Amer ican.
