Monday Afternoon pecs o.
Tn. OollI.lon on che Pennsylvania Central
Road.

The accident on the Pennsylvania Central
Railroad. near Mifilin, last week, was almost
precisely similar to that at Ellerslie. Two
trains were coming East. The foremost one
GRADUALLY lost time on account Of the failure OF
n locomotive to 'steam we'll" The second
one therefor ran into the first, with exactly
the same result as in the former instance-that
ia. the last two cars of the forward train were
telescoped and crushed. -Four adults and one
child were killed. The conductor and brake
man of the forward train are supposed to be
in fault pending investigation. The following
tra,u had the Westinghouse brakes, (as all
trains on the Pennsylvania road hAye,) and there
would have been no collision had not the coup
ling between the express and baggage car bro
ken-the result Of which was that the rear part
of the train came to stop with the brakes on
hard but the engine, having only its own brake
and those of the express car to holdtt, ran on
and, although. Ireversed, collided'
In connection with this, it is interesting t
learn that the Pennsylvania Roads rules do no
permit two sections OF a passenger train On
other words two trains) to run closer to eaef
other than fifteen minutes, and the most thor
onqh precautions are directed to be taken to pre-
veat closer approach. Mr.. Cassatt, the Gen
erAl Manager, on this subject, says
"Our rules are imperative that when two sec
tions Of a passenger train are run, the real
section must be kept not less than nfteen MIN
utes behind the first one. To insure that tint
be done, operators at telegraph stations are re
quired to show red light for fifteen minute
after the first section passes and as an add
tional precauton to provide against contingenc!
OF the first train losing time between the station
the ranr brakeman is furnished with Enghs
fusee signals which will burn for fifteen min
utes. Under all circumstances, these signals
is requitsd to light and throw OF at frequer
intervals. Whenever a train is found to D
losing time, the conductor ia required 10 &c
personally that this is DONE"
And Mr.. Cassatt further adds;
"If these precautions had been carried on
the accident could not have occurred"

You cannot make men lend money at six per
cent per annum while railroad companies, cities
and other coporations in this State and all over
the land are begging for it at eight, nine, and
ten per cent, and that on the best security pos
sible.
II you forbid men to lend to individuals at
more than six per cent you merely deprive the
borrowers OF the privilege Of getting money on
the same terms that corporations get it openly.
And you drive borrowers to shifts and eyasions
Of the law adding greatly to the risk Of the len
der and the expenses Of the borrower. You
make him pay heavily for the greater risk, and
compel him to employ broker and pay him for
his services.
II you want immigrants to come here you must
offer them Inducements you must show them
the advantage of coming here. II you want to
bring money here you must offer it inducements
"a better rate Of interest than elsewhere and
good security.
The best way to make sales OF our lands ant
to increase their value is to make money abun-
dant, and the way to bring money is to do every
thing to invite it, to do nothing to drive it ava!
or keep it away.

Affairs in France remain in critical condition.
The trouble is that the National Assembly,
chosen during the Prussian occupancy, for the
purpose OF re-establishing some form OF Gov
ernment which might conclude peace, is really
Anti-Repubhcan, and does not represent the
feelings of the majority of the people. 1t re-
fuses to dissolve, however, and unless it be dis
persed by some revolution, as it probably will
be- il it carries on much longer, there seems to
be no way to secure a new election of members
