The. great difficulty attending every effort to
hang man who has committed murder has in
tluced tho Legislature Of New York to consider
propositions for removing the obstacles. Re-
cordcr Hackett, among others, has drawn up
bill, based upon the principle that the delays are
chiefly due to the number Of causes which
authorize stay Of proceedings, and the cir
cuitous route Of appeal from the Criminal Court,
first to the General Term Of the Supreme Court,
and then to the Court G. appeals. The proposed
1aw forbids motion for new trial in murder
trials, except Tor the misconduct Of juror,
which shall be proved in open court. In cases
Of appeal, the bill of exceptions must be submit
ted within ten days, and, II tho decision is ad-
verse to the prisoner, the lower Court is author
tied to resentence. There is certainly general
aentimeut that the laws are too lenient toward
convicted murdererB hut the changes should be
suggested By men Of great experience and unin-
fuenced by any temporary indignation on the
part Of the people.

then. the character Of this transit had been de-

though it WAS intended that the city should make
al the costly experiments, and bear the expense
of all the fixtures that could be put upon it. In
other words, the project is to make those who
do not need quick transit help pay e1orbitantly
to secure it for those who do.

THE LESSONS OF RAILROAD DISASTERS.
Tie annual report Of the Massachusetts Board
of Railroad Commissioners contains some inter-
esting and important facts concerning the rail-
road disasters which occurred in that State dur
ing the past year. The Commissioners first
made the chapter Of accidents conspicuous
feature OF their report utter the Revere disaster
Of ,1s71., They now propose to continue this
feature, and it promises to become one ct the
most useful portions Of their labors. They en-
counter serious obstacles. however, in the cir
cumstance that, while the law provides that the
Commissioners, it fails to provide 3 penalty for
any neglect to do 80. The fact is, that many
Of the railroads neglect to report the accidents
but tho Commissioners eudeavor to make up
the deficiency By investigations OF their own
upon common rurnor. Their collection of facts
may be regarded, therefore, Is Trustworthy and
tolerably complete.
The first notable deduction from the state,
ment 1nade il that the loss OF Ifeby railroad
travel is much less than is commonly supposed
There we're sixteen tr31n ACCIDENTS IN M9eaacQu-
setts during the year, resulting in the death or
injury of forty parsons; but, rs regards pas
sengers, though twenty-nino we're more or less
injured, not ons Uas killed by an
accident beyond his control. Yet 3d.
000,0o0 people we're carried by rail
during the year, which would make it appear
that only one was injured out Of 1890, 900 who
travelled The average journeyof these passen-
gers WIS estimated to be 14.7 miles, 80 that
there was 100000 miles OF travel for every
injury. These conclusions gather weight from
the fact that the exhibit OF the preceding year
showed difference OF only per cent between
the two ye.rs in the relation OF the injured to
the number Of miles travelled. The number Of
persons injured or killed under circumstances
which we're under their own control Was much
larger. There rera 304 casualties Of this nature,
only thi1ty-four Of whom we're passengers, 134
being employees Of the roads, and 1856 being in no
wise connected with the roads or with travel
