Tbs Memphis ApDcal cites the .recen:
terrible railroad accident near Grand juno
ton, rs another strong argument IN favor
CT increased precautions on the part of the
railroads., 70 prevent these fatal and de-
siTUctye occurrences. The AppeaJ says:
'Nhether bridges are sufficiently strong
10 bear trains can be ascertained as well
any day Gf.eT they are fret used as at first.
And what prevents frequent examination
ard a watch over them?, There are Ger
tain places also, it seems, where, in ca5eg
Of unusually heavy fills of rain, embaDk-
ments wash away, as at Grand JUNCTION,
or foundations are undermined. This was
as well known before an accident IS after
ward. Why, then, was il the business Of
Of no one TO examine at the time of the
storm, and warn of due and Just then
approaching train? Il might cost the road
c very f-.g thousands to SGT G reliable watch
at the points Of danger. But the loss of
train viii cost more. l. may cost money
to save a life. But sirgle life is worth
moge than the whole road. A short time
since little boy, worth his weight in gold,
seeing dangerous place on the Mississippi
Central Ro2t, stood there three full houIs
to watch iOE the train. and only With great
difficulty signaled it off But for that boy,
whom the road should make independent
for the Test of his life another score of
men and women would have been sent to
their last account We sea little difference
in these three cases-Whers there was loss
% life, and whore there was no loss Of
life. The absence Of precauti0n was the
same IN ail three cases. And that precaU-
ton Is easy, simple ard chssp, as well as
certain to RENTER disasters from such
causes impossible"
We ere inclined TO think there ID abuud-
ant reason for the suggestion made by our
Memphis contemporary. The management
Of ouz railroads, IL other respects as fault
less as any others in the country, seems in
this one particular most szdly deficient
With railroads having q thorough and well
regulated police o. guard system such oc-
cufIences as that of Grand JCnction are al
most impossible Ac : matter Of economy
it would 10 doubt be better for them to
greatly increase the police force Of their
employment 4 reasonable degree Of
economy in he management Of business
of railroads pud ether corporations is de
girable, but, ike. every other good thing,
economy IS sometimes run into the ground
and made more costly to those who prac-
tice il than could the most reckless ex-
penditure Of money. Those who manage
and control railroads will lad, if they have
not already made the discovery, that the
employment Of a sufficient force Of trusty
and competent men to do police duty along
their lines, especially in the night time and
at dangerous points, viii be one Of the
ssfest means Of protection against loss CT
life and property, and the adoption of such
precautionary measures the best AID most
remurerative economy.

Yesterday morning we stated the faC!s
connected with the burglary committed at
tie confectionery sore OF Nj Edrldge,
on Church street. and the arrest Of two
suspicious characters named james Stevens
and Peter KjDe as Inc guilty parties. A
preliminary or committing tIiaI was yes
terday held before J1st.c5 Baskette
Among he witnesses tastlfyirg vGs Twin
Campbell, a Blacksmith, who stated that
he made the iron jimmy found t,y The p0-
licemen at the door Of Mr.. E'dTidge on
the night of the burglary. The black
smith identified Stevens as the man VINO
got HIM to make the jimmy, stating at the
time that he wac employed at & store on
the Square, and wan co it for use IN OPEN
iDg tobac.o boxes. The testimony was
such rs to establish q pretty strong Proba-
billy that Kjue and Stevens ver5 guilty as
accused, and Justice Baskette committed
them to jail in default Of sec1rity in the
sum of 81, 600 each for their appearance
at the next term Of the Criminal Court
They are young men, hardly yet grown,
