The Little General Now ona Visit Here, Some Faots About the “Piginy Pres- ence” That Rides Behind the Band With the Gardner Troupe The most distinguished arrival the Miilard ever had since its hospitable doors were opened, was that of Gen- eral Charles R, Decker, the smallest man in the world, who decorated the register yesterday Wwith his slgn manual, He is five and one-hali inches shorter than Tom Thamb, and more perfectly and vigorously formed. ““Chawles the Small” is little, but he's all there, and Tue Bee is willing to put up $10,000 In the currcucy cf the realm that there is not a man in the world of his sizs> who can get away with him, Queensbury rules, or any other rules to the centrary notwith- standing. The man of mind, who very appro- *y | priately looks to the Nebraska leglsla- ture for the emallent men 1o the world, must remember that while the general now atopping at the Miilard is only 31 inches high in staiure, HE 18 AWAY UP in mental abilities, and his edu catlonal mequirements are euperior, He 1is a coanrteous, affable little gontleman, and while in the physical wense he has to look up to everyone that addresses him, in the better qualities that go to make the man, eneral Decker has to look up to no one. As a conversationaliet he s keen and interesting and our reporter can o only one reason why the general is no small; that is, his brain power got too heavy for its physical props, and as It developed in grent strength the pedestal;proportions were dwarfed, General Decker saw this mundane sphere in 1865, 28 years ago, and it will be seen that for many years he was & bigger man than old Graut. He wss born in Poutotoc, Minsissippi, and his parents were ordinary statured people, as well as his brothers and msters. Indeed, the mals portion of the Decker family were “‘doublo deckers” as far as height is concerned. At the age of years young Charles stopped growing and to-day he is PORMED A MAN perfect In .evory respect (even to a Wilkes Booth moustache), except In height, The genersl s wheu he reacher tho higher realms he will get thero spirituaily and a few inches be- low the usual physical height in this world does not amount to a great dea). panies (except in the case of the Lake store, which was not insured), are in round numbers as follows: McMahon, Abert & Co., not yet adjusted; Meyer & Raape, $10,000; Frank Swmith, $3,100; Guorge 1.

In this way he accumulsted oonsiderable means and above all supported in good style his mother who is now liv- ing in Memphis. His firet connection with any tmufu was with the Berger bell ringers and the well posted theat- rical people of the day know fall woll what a LITTLE TINTINABTLATION he was was in those days. Subse- quently he traveled with minstrei shows, concert troupes, dramas, etc., eto., until to.day he has the benefit of a three years engagement with Charles A. Garduer, the improved Exmett of German comedy, Gener- al Decker was with Tom Thamb on several occasions, and the top of his head only ereaches to the ears of Thomas, ~ Juetly then does Decker olalm to bs tho smallcsi man in stature in the world, for therofjis no one even approaching the age of rea- #on, except the little aud young boy, Major Mite, with the midgets, who can compare with him, The general is a man In every Wl{. perfect 1n his form (what there is of it), and inhlligenl, genilal and courteous. There is nothiog dwarfieh in his com- position except hie perpendioular, and weknow lots of men]who are five times as tall, andjstill thoy are not as BIG MEN as General Decker, With Gardner, who s without doubt the best German burlesque sr- tist on the stage to-day. neral Docker has very little to do. He leads the band iu the laughable plo- nio gcene, and gives the people of to- day a ploture of what lgo Skidmore snnrd- were years sgo. He also rives a white mule in tho street pro- ceeslon which is not a very unle position, but when it is known that little General Decker s the finest ad- vertising card in the monde drama- atique to-day, it can readily be scen what his salary must be, and his will ingness to attend to about sny kind of legltimate work, When General Decker was in Om- ahain 18Y4 & well kuown belle who has since marrled inslsted upon joln- ing her heart and hand with the little fellow.

DEATH ON THE RAIL, A railway publioation has the fol- lowling interesting article in regard to the dangers of ratlway travel and rail way sorvice: Some very interesting and also some very startling deductions may be made from the table of railway acc dent: in the Urited States, reporiec by the consus boresn for the year ending Jone 30, 1882, The tota uuwber of pasaengera carried during the year was 269,683 340, and the number of oflicers and employcs of all kinds was 418,957, Although this Iucludea general officers, clerks, and others whoso duties are not especlaliy dangeroue, we have not reduced the resalt as we might have done by sub. tracting them, Takiug the official totale, we find the following averages: KILLED AND INJURED through causes beyond their own cor - trol: Killed—Dassengers—81, or one to every. Employes—260, or one to every. Injursd ~Paesengers—851, or one S0/ OVIEY s 1o 113’ sioiom o i bRE Employes—1,004, or 1 tn every.. Through their own carolessness: Killed —Passengera—82, or 1 to 4,519,400 1,611 814,421 41 every... 82 or 1 to 1,265,649 s 160 illed and injared: 892,407 92 Aggregate, k Passengers—687, or 1 to every.. Employes—4,540, or 1 to every. . From this it will be seen that the dangers of rallway travel to passen- gers, they use ordinary care, are as- tonishing small, only one passenger being killed by fuult of the railways to each 4,419,400 who traveled during the year, and only one injured to each 814,421, The number of casualties from the carelorances of passenpers was somewhat groater, but still very small compared with the vast number transported. With railway employen, however, the result s far LESS SATISFACTORY, Out of every 1,611 officers and men of all grades one was killed, and ouf of eyery 417 one was injured during that yeoar, through causes beyond their own 7| secrotary; A. U. Loderman, of Grand 2| Grand Island. control, The ratlo of the killed and injured throughytheir own carelesness 1s far greater, while the aggregate cas- ulties from all causes show the shook- ing average for the year of one killed or injured to every ninely-two em- pluyes. These figures seem almost in- credible, and yet it is probable that they even fall short of the truth, as many minor casualtles are doubtles not revorted. If the number of acel- deuts to traln hands alone were glvey it would show a =till more terrible average. Certainly these figures call for greater care on the part of those operating our railways, and also for more perfoct appliances by which this record of sufferiug and death may be largely diminished in future. SALARIES OF RAILROAD MEN, An exchange says there ia wmuch spaculation as to the salaries pald rallroad officials and employes filling important positions in railway man- sgements, For varlous reasous it ie very difficult to determine the amount received by this class of men. The pay roll cannot be taken as evidence, o8 in many instances the vouchers drawn from time for what 1s classed e ‘“‘special services” fully equal the sum named on the pay rolls, In the west general managers receive from $10,000 to $15,000 per year; ral superintendents from $5,000 to $10,. 000; assistant general superinten- dents, $5,000 to $8,000; general traffic managers, $5,000 to $10,000; auditors, $6,000 to 86 500; division superintendents, $3,000 to $3,600; general mastor menhmlc-, $200 per month; master mechanics, $125; gen- oral foremen, 100 to $125; master car builders, $200; car foremen, $100, In addition to these salaries the officlale are provided with one or more busi ess oars, which are furnlshed with all necessarles and provislons, the company paying the expense of all, loclading the salary of an attendant. These cars and contents are at the dis) of superintendents, managers and the general agent. An officlal states that frequently among the bills rendered agalnst the departmenta are found those readlug: ‘‘One dozen Ilu,:‘xm'l Extra Dry, $36, Business oar, | THE DAILY BEE: SATURDAY FEBRUARY 17 Death of Mre.

Sad Death of a Young Railroad Em- : ploye. The Denver Tribune of Thursdsy saye: A fenrful accident occurred on the COolorado Central railroad yesterday afternoon by which one of the most valoed employes c¢f that road was killed. The accident occurred at Louisville, at 3:30 o’clock. Some cars were belug lef, down a coal chute, to the main track, and Mr, Frank Farrell was intrusted with eafely guiding them, This proceeding is n’fwnyu a difficult one, and is franght witha great deal of danger, The cars had galned good headwey, and were rushing down the incline at a tremendous rate when Mr. Farroll, who was on the first car, slipped and fell to the ralls. All the cars passing over him just at the hips, almost severing the legs from the body, Hia horror-atricken companions rushed to his ald, but they were unable to render any acsistance, as Mr, Farrell died In a ’ew minutes In the greatest agony, The remains were placed in a oar and taken to Golden, where they now lie awaiting the inquest of the coroner. Frank Furrell was 52 years of age, and was one of the pioneer railroad men of Colorado, being known by all travelers in the state. Although oc- cupying the humble position of brake- man at the time of his death, deceased had cccupied all the positions from firemen to conductor, and performed the duties of those positione, varying fortunes and a combination of circum- atances making him a brakeman again, He leaves a family, the members of which are now visiting relatives in Nebraaka, but will return to-day. De- ceased was also a brother-in law of Professor E.
