IRailrona and Steamboot DssasScIss
We have had occasion to note at least .
half dozen railroad disasters within the short
space of two weeks, each involving greater OF
less loss Of human life, butchery and main
ing for life, with infinite lesser injuries Of
which no complaint is made. The sad CO.
tastrophe which occurred on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, terrible snd shocking a.
it was, had scarcely done ringing its notes Of
horror and death in onr ears, when the loss of
the steamship Independence was heraIded on
lightning wings, throughout the land, to
the homes and hearts Of near, two hundred
miles; who were called to mourn the loss
Of near and dear relation or friend by the
heart-rending disaster, doubly desling instan-
taneous death by fire and shipDrscs. Yet an
other, and even more terrible, though involv-
Ing less destruction of human life, occurred
las would appear from the most authentic
az counts. through gross carelessness, or worse
neglect-neat Chicago, Ills, where scene
of mangled slaugbsefing and death recently
occurred, which chills the soul with horror.
as the narrative Of the melancholy event
flies to the bosoms Of tine friends Of the up-
fortunate victims. A jury Of inquest has
been sitting daily over the huge pile Of ruins
that for several hours after The collision, sent
its wild, ag1nizing sh'ieks through the air
until the human wrecks which formed DC
small portion Of the chsrnel heap, were re.
lieved ty death or the helping hands Of The
more fortunate survivors. The inquest wi.
unfold the more minute and painful pdrticu
lars, and it is to be hoped, will ferret out ant
punish theguilty perpetrators of this whole
sale murder. Yet another and still NOR
terrible is the work Of death, manning an
butchery carried on by the reckless and muir
derous course pursued by the tficers an
agents OF railroad trains. rsio a4sstf
