Couplings to Save Life on Railroads Introduced
The Central Pacific and Southern Pacific announce automatic couplers and air brakes on most cars to meet a federal ruling. By 1898 all cars must use auto couplers, with these systems reducing dangers to switchmen and train crews. The move follows years of gradual adoption by the two companies and aims to prevent deaths from between-car injuries.

Silver men in New York push free silver drive amid apathy in East
A New York dispatch reports that silver advocates remain active in the city with a permanent summer office. Leaders from multiple western states, including Senators Cameron Jones Pettigrew and Congressman Newlands, press for free silver while Sibley may join talks. Newlands predicts solid western support next year as both major parties seek compromise and a third party may bolt the ballot. A railway train proposal and a water shutoff notice for Second and Third streets round out the day’s items.
