The shocking accident on "Wednesday 10 the
New York express train on the Lake shore
road, near Angola-two cars thrown down an
embankment fifty feet one OF the cars set on
fire, and forsy-cight or more passengers burned
TO dealh-was at 1rst ascribed to some defect
in the rail or to frost. II has since been MS
serted that "the accident was occasioncd by q
segment OF the tread OF the wheel being
broken;r and the telegraphc reporter adds
that "the disaster could not have been pre-
vented by any human agency But can this
be so l. it possible that modern science can
have provided no means for preventing 30 fatal
an accidents The fact is iha. Il Is probably
but one Of the results necessarily TO be dreaded
from the gross carelessness which has 90 long

American railway companies have been guilty
Of neglccling almost all lhe precautions abso-

long ago predicted are beginning 70 be rear
fully realized. The rails are wearing out
upon nearly all our railroads, and such ter
riblc accidents as the latest one which II has
been our painful duty to record must not
surprise MS. Moreover, the stockjobbing
