THIs is very unfortunate year for
exeursionists on both sides of the At
lantic. First there was an accident to
an excursion train on the Pan Handle
road, leading out of Pittsburg. Then
an excursion train on an English rail-
way collided with freight, and this
was soon followed by the Lady Alice
disaster. This morning we report an
other disastrous accident to excursion
lists, this time on Massachusetts, rail-
road. On the whole it is plain that this
year has been very unhealthy one for
excursionists.
