Governor Glenn delivered hie 1
message before the General As
sembly on Thursday of last
week, by reading it himself to
both houses in joint session. He j
was listened to attentively ,
throughout. Several of the mem- J
bers of the House seriously ob
jected to the "innovstion," and |
entered a protest, among them e
being Representatives Morton '
and Galloway. '
The United States Senate has ,
panned a bill providing that rail- t
way employee engaged in hand
ling trainB shall not work more (
than sixteen consecutive hours, I
followed by a period of not less t
than ten hours of rest. In case t
of accident the time may be ex
ceeded. A penalty of #100 to 1
f 1000 is provided for in case of
violation of this law. This is a ^
meritorious measure and should (,
become a law. If the railway [
companies would work their em
ployes lees hours, in all probabil- e
ity the number of accidents ^
would be decreased.
William Alden Smith, who has u
just been chosen by the Michigan
legislature to succeed Russell A. ?'
Alger in the United States Sen- ^
ate, started his career as a news- |
boy and later became in pos- J
session of a newspaper which he t
now owns. He was a hard-work
ing boy and has always been a ?
hard-working man, and it is his y
industry, determination, and J
general good character that won
for him the senatorial toga. He
will be the lirst Smith to hold a
seat in the Senate since James
Smith of New Jersey was sue- v
ceeded in 189!) by John Kean. f<

aged- Negligence of Negro Caus
ed Wreck.
Last Monday morning about
8 o'clock a bad wreck occurred
near the southern end of the side
track at llenson. A southbound
through freight had taken the
siding to wait for the fast train
carrying passengers from New
York to Florida. The engineer
of the freight train thinking be
had time to go to the water tank
two miles below, uncoupled Irom
bis train and went for water,
leaving a negro with a lantern
to flag the passenger train in
case it came before his return.
When the eugiue returned and
was within a few yardp of where
it would go in agaiu on the sid
iug the passenger train rushed
into it. The tender was thrown
up against the freight engine de
railing it and doing great dam
age to it. The eugiue of the pas
senger train was badly wrecked
A baggage car, an express car
and a mail car weiethrown from
the track and damaged. The
two firemen and the mail clerk
were badly hurt and it is feared
the mail clerk's injuries will prove
fatal. The track was so badly
torn up that all trains were de
layed several hours. After the
wreck occurred the negro flag
man was found sitt ing fast asleep
with his lantern iu his baud. He
did not know that the train had
come on or that a wreck had oc
curred.
