The case of William Parkhlll , who was
crushed by the cars Thursday evening , turns
out lo be a very sad one. Ho has always
been noted among his fellow workmen
for his econo'tiy , every cent that wis
not absolutely needed in the car
ing for his family being applied
to paying for n horns on South avenue. The
homo was a very humble one , but ho hud just
succeeded In getting It paid for a few days
ago. Thursday before going to his work ho
spent ( jullo a while in going over the papers
that'sectired his home to him , and yesterday
they wore found to have neon carefully
arranged as though ho had had a presenti
ment of what was to como
Mrs. Pnrlthlll , the wife of the unfortunate
man , also seemed lo have a forewarning that
some misfortune was about to happen to her.
The fact that her husband was killed was
carefully kept secret from her Thursday
night , and some of the neighbors wont
over early In thu morning , thinking that
they would break thu news to her
In a lc s abrupt manner than if
she road of It tlrsl in the papers. They had
no sooner entered the door than she told
them she knew they had como to toll her
some bjid news , and uslted them not to keep
It from her any longer than they must.
When Informed of her bereavement she was
completely urokon down , and went piteously.

crows of men had been working , one at each
end of the yard , making up tlio trains from
the cuia on traclc No , 5. The crows who do
this sort of worlt have never had to watch
each other's doliign , and a switchman who
was engaged In tunning a coupling had to run
thu risk of having a car sent Hying against
the other end of thu train ho Is at work on at
anv time.
Knott testlllod that ho had tried twice to
make a coupling but had failed , one car
having been provided with a Miller and the
other with a Jonnoy coupling. Parkhlll was
the onu selected to take ICnotl's place , and ho
nlso made an attempt without success. The

making Urn coupling wh n the onginn at the
other end of thu yard shoved In another lot
of cars against the rear ot the train cm which

An Information has boon Issued In Justice
Hammer's court against May Thompson , a
woman who has been llvlnir over Walter's
harness shot ) on Upper Hroadway , charging
her with being an inmate of a house of pros-
Itutlou. Tlio complainant is Mrs. William
Priest , wife of a barber who has been doing
business on Broadway near the corner of
First street. The tiling of the
information Is the sequel to n
story of domestic trotibies whicn
have been going on In the Priest household
for some tlmo past. Mrs. Priest claims that
her husband has been led astray by the
machinations of Miss Thompson , so that she
is cheated out of that portion of her hus
band's society which belongs to her bv right.
She dctcrn.incd to put n stop to this , anu
with that end in view has in
volved the strong arm of the law
to her assistance. Miss Thompson
learned that something dnsporato was about
to be done , however , and a day or two ago
shut up her house and lied to the seaside.
Priest sold out his barber shop , and thcro
was a report last night that ho had left town ,
but an Investigation failed to verify the
rumor. All efforts to lind the woman have
been unavailing , but Justice Hammer's
oflicc will bo kept warm lor her night aud
day In too hope that she will return.

OMUIA , Dec. 17. To the Editor of Tim

'Every Year I"
The poem ' "Every Year" originally
emanated from the pjn of thu late General
Albert Pike. Hud any doubt heretofore ex
isted It would bo swept away by the a sor-
tlon of Mr. T. S Parviu , grand secretary of
the grand lodge of Iowa , who U acknowl
edged authority in all m.utoi-s of this kind.
No less than six "Every Yo.ir" poems ,
credited to as many different authors , have
come to my notice and of which I have flies ,
and in some Instances as cited by Mr.Parvm ,
are Identical to thu poem ascribed to General
Pike , To sonrj of Us those mystic words ,
"Every Year , " nro fraught with very dear
old memories.
A bit of unwritten history In connection
horowlth Is thu fact that thu poem "Everv

Longfellow Just prior to his death , and a let

Charles A. Dana , and signed by himself , con
tains this paragraph :
"Presuming that you have other copies of

A nunt peculiar and significant value is at

tion of the American IjVuoration of Lhbor
adopted n resolution at''lls morning session
favoring the woman's "iiuiTrnge amendment
to the constitution. Tud convention re
fused to adopt n resolution recommending
political action on the pari of trades unions.
A resolution was passed demanding no fur

It also passed a resolution to amend thu ship

of ofllcors.
The constitution was so amended ns to
require the executive committee to ( ill
vacancies in presidential ofllccs , caused by
death or removal. Heretofore thn vice
president has stood In order of succession.
The convention declined to sanction the
proposition to establish an oftlclal organ of

The committee on rules reported unfavor
ably a resolution Introduced by Delegate
Striglo of Detroit , prohibiting holders of
political oftlccs from acting as organ
izers. It scorned to bo the opinion
that the test of n man was his fidelity to
unionism , not lila connection with n political
party , and the committee report was ac
cepted , Delegates Harding , Thomas , Kldd ,
Faulkner and Dodd being the only ones voting
In the negative.
The convention then proceeded to elect
ofllcors. President Gompers was re-elected
president , receiving l.iliW votes , against 633

The first railroad monument erected
in this country was unveiled at Bordon-
town , N. J. , by the Ponnsylvania'.HaUroad
company , on the sixtieth iinniversiiry of
the operation of a steam railroad in the
state.
On November 12 , 1831 , the "John
Bull , " a locomotive brought over from
England by Colonel John Slovens , in
August of that year , made its first trip
with a load of passengers over n piece of
track laid between whore the monument
now stands and a granite shaft about
U,500 foot eastward of it. After n lontr
and bitter light the project of a steam
railway had advanced far enough to
justify a public trial trip , and accord
ingly on that day , 00 years ago , a largo
number of thomcmb6rsof the legislature
and other state ollicials boarded the Iwo
carriage-like cars , It nil the train made
several trips over the shorl line without
accident or delay.
This trial , although it was not followed
by others till sometime afterwards , us
ninny defects in the locomotive hud to bo
overcome , practically opened the oru of
steam trailic in the Stato.
On this ilrfet trip with passengers the
engineer was Is'uie Dripps , who is still
living , now 82 ycars _ old. The old engine
is still in existence in tlio United States
National Museum in Washington. It
weighs only ten tons , and the boiler is
12 feet long and U feet C inches in
diameter. The firing was done with pine
and oak wood , no colil being used.
The monumontis 11 feet 0 inches high.
It consists of a great rough-hewn square
block of granite , Ofcot high , mounted on
a foundation of granite blocks , which are
the original blocks from the old track.
Running in a circle at the base of the
monument is an iron traclc , which is a
part of the original track. It is fastened
to the stone blocks with the old spike
that hold the track in place sixty years
ago , and the whole Ihing makes a simple ,
fitting memorial. A stone shaft about 5
foot high is situated 3,500 feet east of the
monument. Between thubo poinls the
track was laid. The monument is sit
uated about a mile from Bordcntown
station , immediately alongside the
present railroad track. On the face ,
which is turned toward the track , is n
bronze relief representing the old engine
John Bull , with its tender carrying the
cask that hold the water for the boiler ,
and with two of the high-bodied _ conches
attached. Underneath is the inscription
also in relief :
"First movement by steam on a rail
road in the Stale of New Jersey , Novem
ber 12 , 1831 , by Hie original locomotive ,
John Bull , now deposited in the United
States National Museum at Washington.
The first piece of railroad track in Now
Jersey was laid by the C'amdon and
Amboy Railroad company , between this
point and the stone , li.oOO feet eastward. "
Cut in the stonoon the west face of the
block is the inscriplion :
"Tho iron rails were laid on stone
blocks aim fastened by spikes driven
into holes in the stone , plugged with
wood. "
-
What n Locomotive. KHUN Down.
"Yes , " said an engineer who had
grown gray in the service of the com
pany , us ho slood beside his locomotive
in Jersey City the oilier day. "the sus
pense attending a run-over accident
when you lire on an engine smothers
one. I can assure you , " ho continued tea
a reporter of the Now York Tribune.
wiping a blotch of oil off the faido rod
with a piece of wr.sto , "that I am some
what of an aulhorlty on the subject , be
cause I have hud thu misfortune to run
over about everything from a chicken
to a fire engine.
'You would naturally think that a
collision wlioro your own life was in im
minent danger would cause you moro
anxiety than anything else , uut it
doesn't. Usually a collision oecu.'s be
fore you know where you aro. You
are sailing along over the rails ,
trying to keep n 110:11 : * your schedule
tlmo as you can , when suddenly
something shows up bolero you. With
mo it has always ncen the rear of a
train , for I have navcjr tried to puss an
'
engine on the R-unu'lnick coming in an
opposite direction. , In an instant you
slam on the air brakes , ro verso the on-
glno and wait for thy crash , and Die en
gine buries herself tin the caboose or
cars of the train yeti strike. Thnn you
make the most of a bad job , and if you
are not at fault fdr 'tio } accident and no
one is jnjurod or ki pd , you boon forgot
all about It. But lVS entirely dilTorent
when yon run ovon.nihumnn being. You
nro speeding along'imd ' see a man on
tlio track In front of you. At first you
think that ho will Hoar tlio train , just
us thousands have heard It before , and
got off the track In time , but ho goes on
with his back toward you and you pull
the whistle string nnd the engine
shrieks her warning. Ho does not hoar
oven that , so you try to stop the
train. The nlr brakes are put on. the
engine is reversed and the great drivers
begin working backward. Bonding lire
in showers from the shining stool rails ,
while sparks of live coals from the
funiaie shoot from the slack high up
Into the sky ns the monster groans and
struggles , vainly trying lo slop the train
behind.
"While you draw nearer nnd nearer
to the victim the suspense is absolutely
beyond description. All efforts nro use
less. You feel n slight jar as the poor
devil is struck , nnd a cold sweat breaks
out all over your body , and a faint feel
ing comes over you , until you fall
back on your seat , sick at heart , and
wonder what the fnto of the man wan
nnd .vhelhor ho leaves a family and
what sadness there will bo when they
learn tlio newsathomo. You think lha't
you would like to slop railroading and
earn a llvintr at somuthlng olso. Meantime -
time tlio train has como to a standstill.
The engine has ceased her struggles and
the only sound you hear is Hie Ihrob-
blng of the alr-brako as it pumps bacit
and forth , making a noise like the
breathing of some exhausted ho.ist. The
baggage-master , conductor and brakeman -
man rush outof the cars and lake all
Unit is left of the victim from under the
wheels.
"Well , you know his fate now. As
soon as you are signalled to go ahead ,
and you touch the throttle , the en
gine leaps forward eagerly as if she
were anxious lo leave the dreadful place
behind , and in a moment the thought of
the accident is driven by other work
from your busy mind.
"A pig is a dangerous thing to run
over , for ho is likely to throw the loco
motive off the track. When the pilot of
the engine hits him it usually knocks
him down nnd then rolls him for a few
yavds under it before the trucks
strike him , and when they do there
is great danger of them leaving the
rails. The drivers are almost certain to
follow the trucks , nnd if you don't go
down the bank you are lucky. So you
see what havoc one pig can make with a
railroad. Another disagreeable thing
about a pig is that ho never slops
squealing from the time he is hit until
ho is stone dead. Engineers are not
fond of pork.
"It is next to impossible to kill a goat
with an engine. Go its are the most ir
ritating of all animals thai wandoralong
a railroad track. No matter how fast
you may bo running or how quietly you
sloal down upon him ho will see you out
of the corner of his eye and manage to
got out of the way Justin time to miss
the cowcatcher as the engine rushes by
him at lightning speed. Cows and
horsus are easily disposed of , though
sometimes they get under the wheels
and cause a bad wreck. But they are so
largo that the pilot gets under them and
throws them to ono side. Sheep are the
most pitiful of all animals to run down.
They seem to rcali/.o tlio danger that
they are in and huddle together in
the middle of the rails and await
death , Their great innocent eyes stare
at you so mournfully and sadly thai they
haunt you for days to como. A locomo
tive scorns to take savage delight in de
stroying sheep. She throws them in
every direction and will kill a whole
Hock in tin instant. I struck a Hock of
gccso onco. Well , I nnvor thought
there were so many feathers in the
world. I couldn't sco anything but
feathers for ten minutes , and when we
reached the station my engine looked as
if she had received a coat of tar and
feathers.
