iced water, is carried through the cars of
the Boston and Worcester Railroad, at
proper intervals of time, by lad special

strapped to the boys shoulders, so that

THE PITTSBURGH DIsPATcH, speaking of the late
accident on the B. & o. Railroad, says, it ~'calls
loudly for serious investigation by the propec att
thorities." We should like to know what the
3fnghtful accidents on the Pennsylvania Railroad,
which almost every month hurl more people into
eternity than have ever been injured on the Balti
more & Ohio Railroad, during the twenty-seven
years it has been in operation, including the last
accident, call for. Perhaps our Pittsburgh neigh
bors inform us, and at the same time inform the
public what reasons have so suddenly induced
their piOus wish for "serious investigation by The
proper authontieS.''
