REFoRM IN cAR-TRUoKs DRMANDED.

The New York Worid thinks that slight
change in the construction of railroad car
trucks and brakes would save many lives
that are now sacrificed. Ii says;
So long AS we continue 10 have our whole.
sale weekly railroad massacres people can.
not easily be taught 10 notice the minor 40,
cidents, and TO consider the means BY
which they may be prevented While pas
seugers are crushed By scores and msngled
by dozens, no one cares to consider the
schemes by which the isolated killing Of in.
dividuals can be rendered less frequent. New
ertheless, 1t is quite as unpleasant to be kill.
ed alone as IN company with whole car
full Of fellow passengers. Indeed, in the
latter case the unplessantness is somewhat
lesseued by sharing it with twenty or thirty
other persons; and the horrors of the soil.
tary smash are alleyisted by the pleasures
of social intercourse. However this may
be, there is one form of railroad murder
which is entirel y unnecessary. AS the car.
trucks are now constructed, a person falling
between the rails escapes being cut to pieces
by the wheels, but is torn to shreds By the
brakes, We're these brakes constructed in
a slightly different manner, man would be
able to lie still in the centre of the track
while the train passed over him. Naturally, |
1t would be an unpleasant experiment for d |
person with weak nerves, but it would not |
be a dangerous one, This change in the |
position Of the brakes is perfectly feasible,
and if made would annually save large
number Of lives Of course, it will never
be made; for, with our national disregard
If life and our hsbitual wholesale railroad
nassacres, no one will consider it worth |
While to take measures to guard against an
occasional solitary murder. Nevertheless,
he matter is worth attention.
