Destruction of Life on Railways.—The record of 1906 has just been made public, and it certainly is a fearful one. There were killed on railways in 1890, 6,335; in 1906, 10,618. There were injured the former year, 29,027; last year, 97,706. It is to be hoped that the vast number of grade crossings thorout the United States will be greatly lessened in the next few years. Many of the accidents occur at such points.
