Support for water routes and railways in national transport policy
In remarks on the four great water routes I clarify that I support water routes where geography favors them but doubt building canals over mountains. I favor rail transport and urge the Railroad Committee to report a bill authorizing private railway charters with regulated charges, seeking a federal stance on cross‑country rail construction.

Coolheaded engineer saves canal train from wreck at Palmyra Junction
The Han nibal and St. Joseph mail and express train was delayed after a misaligned switch near Palmyra Junction forced locomotive 49 off the turntable track. Engineer Mat Murphy reversed, braked, and jumped as the engine toppled, saving passengers though he suffered serious injuries. Conductor Gifford aided passengers and a freight engine carried on to connect Toledo and Chicago. Additional incidents included Ottawa trestle derailments and a Burlington & Quincy yard derailment with no injuries.

City contracts pauper support to Charitable Aid and Hospital Association
Bids were opened for maintaining the city's paupers for one year from July 1. Thomas Redmond, on behalf of the Board of Supervisors, awarded the contract to the Charitable Aid and Hospital Association for 3000 dollars. The city loses the distribution role and about 10 000 to 11 000 dollars in city funds. The association, formed last fall to relieve the poor and build a hospital, says the contract serves public and pauper interests and will spend the county funds judiciously. The exact arrangements are pending.
