SPORTING ENTIELLIGENCIL

A SPECIAL EDITION of the " EXPRESS."
sentaiaing the results of ths day's Soma is rib.
tasked every evening daring the Sporting Season, at
six o'clock.

IT la the mason of excursion trains and—unhappy
but too certain consequenoe—of railway accidents.
A very ftightftd one has just occurred on the
Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line. A
" cheap Sunday School Excursion train " was an-
nounced on Monday last to run from Wolverhamp-
ton to Worcester and back again. The low rats
of fares attracted a vast crowd of passengers,
and before it reached Worcester the train con-
sisted of 45 carriages containing some 2,000
people. The train was to leave Worcester on its
return journey at a quarter-past six. The officials at
the Worcester station determined on dividing it into
two parts. This was accordingly done, and instead
of a single monster train of 45 carriages, drawn by
two engines, two trains, one of 29 and another of 10
emria,qm, were despatched from Worcester—the
heavier of the two a quarter of an hour only
in advance of the other.

AII went well till the advanced train reached the
Biwa Oak Station, at which it seems there is a steep
benne. There, from some cause u yet unex-
plabad a set of coupling irons broke loose, and about
demi of the hindermost carriages began to run
leak down the Incline. Loaded as they were with
ngers, the velocity of the descent rapidly
and had attained a fearful rate, when,
t mid-way doe .1 the incline, they were observed
bearing down upon the second train, which, being
lighter than the first, bad naturally gained upon it, end
was advancing on the same line of rails iu the op-
posite direction. The driver of the second train,
who saw the Ant thus fearfully ruili:ng down upon
him, had almost succeeded in bringing Ws carriages
to a stand-still when the crash came. As might
have been anticipated, its coniequences were fearful.
The guard% van and the two carriages next to it are
described as having been " split into matehwood."
Of the closely packed human freight with which
these carriages were crammed, eleven poor creatures
were instantaneously crushed out of life, a number
yet unucertained were more or lees fearfully

jsred ; those who escaped from disabling we;rnda
were rushing about distrattel amid ci anted me-
nages, and mutilated forms, and shrieks of agony,
=shrouded in the dust and darkness, which
wen the immediate molts of the tremendous

Until farther inquiry it would be premature to
offer any lengthened remarks on the circumstances
attending the catastrophe. It does not yet appear
to what the rupture of the coupling chains is to be
attributed; nor how it happened that there wee
not a greater power of breakage on the die-
connected portion of the train. This, how-
ever, it is impossible to avoid remarking, that
the act of despatching the second and lighter par-
tial of the train at so short an interval as a quarter
of an hour after the first, savours not a little of that
habitual spirit of railway recklessness which trusts
for safety not, as the phrase runs, "to the chapter
" of accidents," but to an order of things from which
all liability to accident Is carefully eliminated. It
would seem that, in matters of railway arrangement,
pressietkins, which might have been supposed to be
the simple dictates of common sense, arm
only to be enforced by the successive co-:
current* of tremerel.”2 casualties. Eleven:
cams of redden death at one spot, and in a single
fitatarit, will probably serve to instruct for the tutors!
the authorities at the Worcester Station that a.
quarter of an hour is an imprudently short interval to,
leave between the departure of two monster trahcC
ems of which, in the nature of things, must la acr.
tab e , from its superior lightness, to gain rapidly on:
the other. Surely this is a fearfully dear cost to pay'
for the enfoacement of a lesson so simple as this. It
in quits possible that the breaking of tins coupling
skeins may also be traceable to some ttpre-
ventible oversight; bat upon full pellir*****l
wait the ruder of fortirer bigotry. " e''"'"
