 Two passenger trains on the Shore Line railroad came near collision Tuesday eve ming, being stopped just in time to prevent an awful slaughter. It seems, according to the Register, that an official on board the train going east, telegraphed to Madison, when the train reached Guilford, for the in. coming train to walt at that station. The train left that station before the dispatch was delivered. If the official had carried a time table with him he would probably have been able to compute when the train left Madison and time his dispatch accord ingly. It is possible that the Guilford tele- graph operator was green hand and was half an hour or SO in sending the dispatch. At any rate it was gross care lessness somewhere. Both trains were we'll loaded with passengers, the incoming train having on board Sunday school returning from picnic.
