Where The Responsibility Lies.


glect of the brakeman to go sufficiently
far behind the train to warn the one ap-
preaching and there seems to be little
doubt that the brakeman's fault was
the Immediate cause Of the accident. IT
he had done his duty, as laid down in the
company's rules. the accident would not
have happened.
But il is none the less true that the ac-
cilcnt would nOy have happened IL the
company had done its duty 10 tie public.
II failed to do 50 because it haZarded
the lives Of its passengers upon
the single chance Of one OF us
empiayces doing his duty. 10 that
brakeman alone WAS cOntiied the
safety Of the train load OF passengers.
L. was not enough, because it was readily
in tie company's power to make the Sc
curity greater. The accident happened
in q place where the road curved so as to
hide. ti,. trains from each other. 1t
should therefore ilaV" been watched SO
tina immediate warning could be given
al: any time to the trains Of any i:nnctli
meat in their way. Ordinary rrcc;isitinn
