Portland & Rochester Railroad.

On Saturday the citizens of Portland will
be called upon to vote upon the question of
aid to the Portland & Rochester Railroad by
endorsing the bonds of the Company to the
amount of $450,000, taking as security
mortgage upon the road and its equipments
for the full amount and the additional securi-
ty of 100000 stock in the Nashua G. Roches-
ter and Concord & Rochester Railroads. The
Nashua d Rochester stock is, we understand,
guaranteed by the Worcester & Nashua Rail-
road Co., one of the strongest railroad COM
panies in the country, which makes it per-
fectly safe. 1t is said that the Northern Rail-
road will probably lease the C. & R., which
would also make the stock of that road 6
per cent. stock. This would reduce the
amount of the liability assumed by the city
to S25O,000. As this is case where the city
really risks nothing, it is hardly worth while
to discuss the advantages of the proposed
lines. But we suppose there are many in the
city so hostile to all railroads that they would
vote against allowing them to be built even
where they cost us nothing. And we expect
to see those gentlemen who opposed the Og-
densburg so fiercely because the city was to be
ruined by taxation, now change their tactics
and oppose this loan uponsome other ground.
No one can doubt, who will read the state
ment put forth by the President of the road
in the PRESS of yesterday, that these lines
which it is proposed to build would be of yery
great advantage to Portland. The direct line
to New York would alone be worth more
than the whole amoupt asked, even if we
never received dollar in return for the loan,
and the Concord line would no doubt give us
considerable trade
Portland must avail herself of every new
line of communication which will increase
her trade and contribute to her prosperity.
We favor this as we do all public improve
ments, and hope that the loan may be carried
by such majority as will convince our friends
in New Hampshire who are seeking business
connections with us that we are live people.

The Grand Trunk Disaster.
The Toronto Globe thus comments on the re
cent terrible accident of the Grand Trunlr.

The Toronto Globe thus comments on the re-
cent terrible accident of the Grand Trunk:
The reports at present to hand attribute the
disaster to broken wheel; but whether this
was the primary cause or only an effect has
of course to be most carefully ascertained.
Did the wheel break of itself, or was there any,
thing in the state of the track to occasion a
jerk or shock, and so fracture the wheel, and
bring on all the mischief that followed? Nu-
merOus reports have reached us, and we GER
tainly do not desire to refer to them further
than may be-necessary to show what need
there is for most rigorous and impartial scru-
tiny on the part of those who have now the
matter judicially in their own hands. 1t is,
Ne believe, certain that the train was behind
time, and that HILBERT was trying to make I'D
for lost time between Bellville and Kingston
when the accident happened. 1t is said
too, that, although a steady, sober, in
telllgent man, HILBERT was, as driver, inclin-
ed to be reckless, and that he was at the time
running at speed of some forty to fifty miles
per hour, or rate far too great for the Grand
Trunk anywhere, and especially so on the Dor
ton in question If so-as the poor fellow can
no longer say anything either to justify or con-
denim himself-it will be important to know
whether the conductor can throw any light
either upon the companys rules or the mode
IN which they are observed Whilst it has
been asserted that the road is, at Shannonville.
in excellent order, there have been counter
statements to the effect that some of the ''ties'
were rotten and that prudent drivers would
only there run at reduced speed
What is really wanted, therefore, is that
there shall be no attempt to hurry the verdict
of the jury, no jumping at conclusions, no
hushing-up of unpleasant revelations We do
not care on what line these disasters occur
The other day there was one of a very shocking
nature on the Great Western near London It
was said that dispatcher of trains was
there at fault If so, we hope to hear that the
dispatcher has been dismissed and deprived
of the power of contributing to any further
mishaps by his Ignorance or negligence But
this affair near Belleville is perfect butchery,
and no mere excuses for it will be tolerated,
If, as is asserted, HILBERT tapped all the
wheels at Belleville, the breakage of one of
them could hardly have been without some i'm
mediate cause, and what that was has to be
found out No one will doubt for moment
that in face of such appalling misery the Off
Gals of the line and everyone else have done
all In their power to alleviate the fortunes of
the victims or to soothe their dying agonies.
But there is stern duty imperative upon
those whose functions begin when the shrieks
and cries of human anguish are over; and it is
their duty which now, with whatever aid they
can secure, should be discharged thoroughly,
