IN A FREIGHT CABOOSE.
An Engineer's Opinion on the Subject of
Railroad Accidents.
A party of railroad employe* sat in a freight ca
boose yesterday afternoon, waiting for tbe rain to
cease. Tho caboose was on one of the many tracks
that line the lower part of tbe city. A Telkobapu
reporter, plodding bis way through the rain and
mud, observed the party through tbe open door In
the rear end of the caboose, and climbed in to ask
the news.
•There 1* no news with us," one of the party, an
engineer, declared. '‘Railroad employe* are for
bidden to know the news, especially when it con
cerns the roads that employ them. We were dis
cussing the occldeut by which Engineer Gngel lost
his life, a few days ago. Incidentally, other acci
dents that have occurred on the railroads centering
in Macon were mentioned, and, to confess the
truth, when you came in, we were feeling rather
bine.
“The general opinion is," said the reporter, “that
railroad employes become so used to danger and
accidents that they are never long disturbed by
them."
“That's a mistake," replied the engineer. “In
my experience, a long one, I have known a few rail
road employes that were callous about such things.

In the world is not free from them. And the trouble
is, such accidents are always unexpected. A train
dashes along upon a clear track at the rate of
thirty miles an hour, everything apparently
perfectly safe. Iu an instant, a defective wheel
breaks and engines and cars go tumbling into the
ditch. Then, too, there is tbe night work. Every
thing must be taken on faith. If anybody along the
line fails to discharge his exact duty, or if some
villain places an obstruction on the track, or, in a
few words, if auy one of a thousand unforeseen acci
dents should occur, the newspapers next morning
recount another railroad disaster that has resulted,
. perhaps, in loss of life. All these things most rail-
i roads never forget”
“You said, just now, that accidents on railroads
wore unavoidable—is that strictly true?"
“Yes, strictly true. Any railroader will bear mo
out in the assertion. But I think Accidents might
be greatly reduced in number."
“In what way?"
“Well, take the railroads In Georgia. The State
has a commission that has absolute control of them
as far as freight aud passenger tariffs are concern
ed. In other words, the commission directs what
private citizens united in corporations shall do or
shall not do with their own property. It is all wrong,
Miss Dunaway Alive.
Atlanta papers are giving the public some
carious and wonderful cases that are quite
interesting. It seems a young laay of At
lanta had been reported as dead, but it
came to the ears of a Constitution reporter
that she was still alive, and being on tbe
alert for news, called at her residence to
learn all the facts. Miss Dunaway, who
bad been pronounced dead, said :

and for months was expected to die. I
commenced the use of B. B. B„ and the
action of one-half bottle convinced my
frieuds that it would cure me. Its effect
was like magic. It gave me an appetite—
gave me strength, relieved all my pains and
aches, added flesh to my bones, and when
five bottles had been used, I had gained 50
pounds of flesh, and am to-day sound and
well.

of course. Now, if Georgia had a commission that
left freight and passenger tariffs to take care of
themselves, and, instead of regulating the private
business interests of railroads, should require them
to keep their road beds, tracks, bridges, trestles,
and equipments in the safest condition possiblo,
there would be few accidents. Think of a ponder
ous train of cars running over a track laid upon a
bed of sand without a piece of stone ballast! Think
of the same train running over a long wooden
trestle! Thero is danger even when tho rato of
t >eed is low. But think of those trains dashing
uug at the rate of thirty miles au hour! I don’t
care how rigid the discipline on tho railroads iuay
be, nor how carofully tho equipments may bo in
spected and repaired, accidents will continue to
cur os long as tracks, bridges, and trestles are
securely built.”
“But are not accidents oftener than otherwise
the result of carelessness on the part of employes?'
“I believe that they are. I was not speaking of
what caused tho greatest number of accidents; I
was merely trying to show why accidents were un
avoidable. Yes, the greatest uumber of accidents
are caused by the carelesuness of employes. I’ll tell
you why that Is so. Railroad managers punish
careless employes in the wrong way. On tho rule
book I havo in my pocket, for instance, it is an
nounced that an employe will be discharged for va
rious trifling offenfes. Such offenses are unvoida-
ble, at times. The employe is discharged and fa
—r one takes his place. The new
i is more likely to make mistakes than the old
'. Show me a railroad that is continually chang
ing its employes, and I'll show yon a railroad that
is noted for its accidents. Any railroader under
stands this. I believe iu tho most rigid discipline,
but I believe iu proper gradations of punishments."

Speeches at MlUedgcvlUe Yesterday by Dr.
Uaygood, Sir. Jciuloon and Others.
The prohibition election in Baldwin county occur*
to-morrow.
Yesterday in Mllledgeville both probibltlonlat*
and anti-prohibltlonlHtJi held meeting* and listened
to *peecbes. The day wa* a disagreeable one. The
rain poured in torrents, and the streets w«re very
muddy. Nevertheless, tbe town wa* filled with
people from the country, and the usual parade took
place.
•-D the desire of tbe anti-prohibitionists to
have a joint discussion with the prohibitionists, but
the hitter would not consent Mr. H. H. Jeuison,
of Macon, one of the anti-prohibition aiieakera,
wrote a note to Rev. Dr. A. O. Haygood, the prohi
bition speaker, and requested permission to have a
joint dlscus#lon, but Dr. Haygood refused. In coo-
soquence, tbe prohibltiouist* held their meeting in
Amusement Hall while the antt-problbittonlMtsheld
their* iu the city hall. Both meetings were at
tended by large crowd*.
Dr. Haygood spoke three honn. He covered
ever)* point contended for by the prohibitionist*,
and made a profound impression.
Mr. Jemison delivered a telling speech for the
anti-prohibitionist*. He woe followed by W. A.
Pledger, of Atlanta, and Jeff Long, of Macon.
The day passed without incidents of an objec
tionable character. Feeling ran high and will con-
tinuo to run high uutil the election decide* the
matter at issue. A* to how the county will go, it
it impossible to predict with certainty.
Mr. Jas. L. Ito.swortli, Button
holed.
“Yen,” said Mr. James L. Boswortli, an
old Atlantian, “it was twelve years ago
when I contraeted a terrible case of blood
poisoning. I had no appetite, did not
sleep well at night, my digestion was im
paired, my throat was cauterized five times,
and in fact I was a total wreck. I had
been under the treatment of several of the
leading physicians of Atlanta; tried nearly
every blood remedy advertised; went to
Hot Springs, where I remained levernl
months, receiving no lamefit whatever.
“A truly wonderful blood remedy was
recommended, known as B. B. B. I used
it, and, sir, 5 bottles cured me, and I really
beliove It to he the grandest and quickest
blood remedy ever known."

THE FIREMEN’S TOURNAMENT.
Preparation* to be Completed Tuesday
Night— 1 The Teats.
It begins to look as if Macon la to have a grand
firemen's tournament on the 15th of April. The
different companies are hard at work practicing for
tbe occasion, and Chief Jone* aud hi* oMlataut* are
energetically striving to make It a success. Already
six of the companies that have been luvited to par
ticipate in the tournament have signified their in
tention to do so. They comprise some of the most
noted flremanlc orgxnizatiou* in the State, and are
cotuiug to Macon determined to win the prixe* if
possible
■ On Tuesdav night the officer* of the fire depart J
ment will hold a meeting to make final arrange-
muni* for the tournament. They hope to give
Macon a day’s sport that will long be remembered. I
iln order that they may know just what plans can be
carried out it Is absolutely necesnary that all mer
chant* and business men who inteud to contribute
to the fund necessary to pay the expense* of tbe
tournament shall let the officers know before Tues
day night what they will give. The tournament
'111 bring large crowds to Macon, and the
didst* for Governor. Judge Simmon* might be the
choice of the pritusrtr* In tbe countie* arouud
Macon for that po*lttoE; but the Democratic party
of tbo state of Oeoffi* will never con*ent for thoae
counties to name tbe candidate for Governor.—
Dalton Citizen.
From the present outlook it l* plain that Bibb
iiioty will not furnish tbe next Governor. Judge
side of Bibb and a few a. I join iug counties, do not
want Kimlunn* and will not have him firGover-
ertmr. If Bitb county will send a solid delegation
to tho convention for Bacon, we believe be will be
nominated; if not. some other man will “git thar.'
