= ALMOST every fearful catastrophe that
happens on our railroads is due to some
rsmediable mistake. That on the Pan

the watch of Sterling, the conductor, being
precisely twenty minutes wrong. On con-

found that he had twenty.four minutes in
which to reach the side track, distance
Of five miles, where he would have been
iout Of the way Of harm, when in fact he
had but four minutes in which to accom-
