Roads Blamed for Funny Accidents.
That a switchman Who was standing
beside a switch and killed by being
struck by lightning is among the lists
of "Employes killed" returned to the
commerce commissions by the railways
has just been learned through recent
efforts to analyze the railway fatal
ities and casualties in order to draft
now regulations to do away with the
sources of accident. H has been de
cided that the railways have been
carrying a rather too severe burden ol
public odium on accident of their lists
of employes Injured. The lists have
been found to Include among others :
Flagman at railway crossing , killed
by .being run over by team ; brakeman
Injured while cutting a hose with a
knife which slipped ; fireman Injured
by the wind , which blew the cab dooi
to and hurt his knee ; car repairer
hurt while he was washing car windows
dews and his ladder slipped ; con
dnctor , who suffered a cinder In his
eye ; brakeman hurt by getting his
hand caught In a shop door ; cleaner
suffering a cut hand because the car
, lamp globe he was washing broke ;
fireman , slightly Injured because the
shaker bar slipped off ; section men
hurt , by stumbling while cutting
,
weeds with a scythe , by a spike beat
Hying off and hitting , by a pick flying
off the handle , by dropping a rail on
his foot , and by a tie that was belnr
piled by others dropping off on his
foot ; a conductor spraining his ankle
by slipping on a street car track while
coming down to work ; a baggage
man cutting his hand on a ragged
piece of metal on a trunk.
It Is pointed out that the raihvav
lists of employes killed and lnjure (
contain a very large 'percentage ' o
such trivial mishaps which cannot be
blamed to the road at all and migh
happen In any sort of work.

Aboard Perish Off Long Island
Shore Other Lives Lost at Sea.

Ing snowstorm oft the Long Island

shore , another vessel , the schooner

of those who go down to the sea In
ships. The story of the wreck wuc
told by the sea Itself , for It strewea
the beach easl of Flro Island for sev
eral miles with bits of wreckage from
the ship and cargo. On some of this
ilotsiun appeared the name "Swallow ,
St. Johns , N. F. , " and this told the
beaclunen the name of the vessel that
had pounded itself to pieces In thu
howling gale. Of the crew , probably
five or six men , judging from the
schooner's sl/e , there was no trace.
Dut looking out at the wildly tossing
seas , the thick , driving snow , with lib
attendlirg bitter cold , the beachiuen
knew their fate.
It Is supposed that the Swallow was
bound t loin Newfoundland to New
York with a cargo of frozen herring
and she carried a deckload of lumber.
Caught in the storm , the members of
the crew probably lost their bearings
and struck on one of tlio many sand
bars a mile or so off the shore of the
Dluo Point station. There the wind
and heavy seas poiiniled the vessel to
pieces In a short time and the men
aboard were speedily lost In the sea.
