The sickening death Of man beneath
the wheels Of u freight train on the p, W.
&Ky. railroad, at the wharf in this city
yesterday, suggests the inquiry whether
there is not a way to prevent the recur.
renee OF such accidents, 1t seems to be u
very general impression that the mans
own carelessncss was somewhat to blame,
but the Coroner's verdict furnishes food
for profitable reflection, A track on such
thoroughiarO is apt to be the scene Of
many accidents, but every possible safe
quad should be. employed, and especially
while making running switch. The like
llhood Of accident is doubled under snch
circumstances. In some States such switch
ing is prohibited by law 1t cannot well
be avoided by tho p, W. & Ky. road, but
flagman should be stationed ut the switch,
when 1t becomes necessary to divide II
moving train and switch one section.

party endorses Hon, Dan VOORHEES, in his

torts substantially that the party itself
