THE NEW COUPLINGS.
The railroad men speak very highly OF Mer's patent
coupers and buffers which were on all the cars except
the smoking car and which undoubtedly saved the raO
from general breaking None OF the cars In front Of
the smoking car were crushed badly as that was and
the cars In the rear comparatively uninjared Ihe
platforms on these with the patent buffers are very
strongly built and held firmly together while on the
track but uncoupling by automatica arrangement
when car is thrown of. It is thought that great
many lives have been saved by their use.
The excitement here In relation TO the accident VIII
soon pass away as there not moro OF In
iured people 10 remain here there was after tile
Carrs Rock and other disasters. In this accident the
number killed vastly dproportoned TO the wounded
owing doubtless the fact that so many were burned
