way of coroners' "findings" is the verdict
returned in tho case of the recent acct
dent ON the New Haven Railroad. The jury
impannelled on that investigation recommend
the passage of law restricting the speed Of
railroad trains to twenty-five miles an hour,
as If the causes that led to the accident
would not have occurred as well with a
train driven at that speed as at higher
rate. In England and France the trains
most exempt from casualties are those which
average from fifty to sixty miles an hour.
The reason Of this is plain. The stoppages are
fewer, and greater attention is paid to the time
tables. If a man should chance to break his
neck over telegraph wire, we should expect
from the above decision that corouers jury
would ask for law restricting the rapidity OF
telegraph messages to twenty-five miles an
hour. But the feature which is most repr chen
sible In this New Haven Railroad case is the
fuisomeness of tue coroner's tone towards the
directors of the offending line. We should like
to know why he felt it necessary to 60 out of
his way TO pay them a compliment. The facts
disclosed on the investigation certainly did not
warrant it.
