RAILWAY MAssACREs--A NEW CHAPTER FOR
SEPTEMBER.
Railway accidents open up large account
From MAY 3 to October ID there were IS
all, or 63 III six months, up to Septem-
Der. OF these, "a were collisions, explo
sions (two of which did not occur on the
line), came from bad bridges and culverts,
% from rotten ties, broken rails and axles,
and u were precipitations, more or less un-
comfortable to the travelling public. Ten
accidents occurred in June, 8 in July, Is in
August 81 in September and in the whole
year to date, not less than 100, comparing
the present with our former statement 81
accidents published in August. Thirty mil
lion dollars would be modest reckoning
for the loss involved in the demolished lives
trains, and properties Of the past year. and
probably not less than 800 persons have
been killed and more than 600 injured in
every shape by accidents in the same time
CALAMITY BY STEAMBOAT AND sHlPwREoK.
Steamboat explosions and shipwrecIz nat
uraly accompany this class of travelling
accidents. Ten explosions and eight col,
lisions of steamboats, are noted, along with
forty-fve burnings sinkings and wrecks Of
vesses-sixty-three disasters in all, upon
the water. Several of these catastrophes,
which have crimsoned river and ocean fa1
and wide, are remembered in all their aw!ur
poetry, and helpless agony and terror is
