CORPORATION PARsIMoNY.

The parsimony of great corporations
has time and again resulted in catas-
trophe and human slaughter. A wealthy
railroad company abandons a flag sta
ton at the dangerous Spuyten Duyvil
cut, thus saving S25 per month, and
through neglect Of the brakeman as
signed the duty of signaling train. ap-
preaching in the rear, one train dashes
into another and ten or twelve people
are crushed in the debris, OF roasted to
death by inches. Railroad employees
and passengers stand by, powerless to
help those pinned down by chairs, tim
bers and rubbish in the smouldering
cars. There are no axes at hand by
which the imprisoned can break out or
by which those without can open way
for their relief. A river flows within
few feet, but there are no buckets by
which water can be brought to stay the
flames that are roasting human beings
in sight Of their friends. A few axes
and buckets brought into action
promptly after that terrible collision
might have saved one-half the lives
there sacrificed. It is significant fact,
in connection with this dreadful acci-
dent, that bill was last winter brought
before the New York Legislature re-
quiring each passenger car running in
the State to be furnished with an ak
and saw, placed in a conspicuous place.
This bill was killed in committee, and
the chairman of that committee was a
prominent railroad official, and in this
Syuyten Duyvil accident was burned
to death in one of his own palace cars.
Had the bill which was smothered in
the hands of his committee become a
law, the expense caused by it to that
rich corporation would not have ex-
ceeded few thousand dollars.

BALTIMoRE's new daily, the Times,
failed to appear on Sunday. Its origi-
nator started out with grand array OF
promises which, as time soon showed,
he was unable to make good, though
the Times was mighty newsy paper
while it lived. Some of the best jour
nalistic talent in the county was secured
for its staff, and at big salaries, too.
It seems to have been the policy of Mr..
Hazleton to start the concern under full
head of steam and sit on the safety
valve for a week, anyhow. Everything
went along like lightning down a crab
apple-tree until the first weeks salaries
were due. Then there was trouble.
Mr.. Hazleton made an assignment fol
the benefit of his creditors and stepped
down. Employees were paid and another
week began, at the end Of which some.
body must have found out that a new
daily paper not settled on its feet is one
Of the worst drains on a bank account
ever invented by man.

THERE is no abatement in the terri
BILE smallpox pest in Chicago, Pitts
burg, Richmond and other cities and
towns where it has been allowed to get
beyond the control Of the health au-
thorities. Pittsburg is sorely stricken,
the number of new cases amounting to
from twenty to thirty per day, and the
ravages of the disease in Richmond are
such as to have alarmed the State Leg
islature, now in session, and put them
to looking about for more healthy
location in which to continue their
law making. In great many cases
smallpox, as well as other contagious
diseases, are spread broadcast through
communities by indiscretion and the
innate longing of some people to attend
funerals and look upon the face Of the
eorpse. In Wilmington. Ohio, few
DAYS ago, a child died Of what was sup
posed to be chjcAen-pox, and its funeral

Slaughter on the Rail.

A terrible disaster occurred on the
Hudson River Railroad, within the
limits of New York city, last Friday
evening. The Chicago express, which
ran through from Albany with but few
stoppages, bearing the city legislators
to their homes and carrying numbers
of people pursuing business and plea
sure was telescoped by the TaTytown
special the two rear cars we're smash
ed and set afre, and many Of their oc-
cupants were either crushed to death
at once or survived the shock only to
perish in the flames. Although the
passengers Of the other cars escaped
with little bodily harm and the dwellers
in the neighborhOod sWarmed about,
there was no appliance at hand which
could be used to subdue the flames and
the unhappy occupants of the burning
vehicles yielded up their lives almost in
sight Of scores Of spectators and with
the waters of the Harlem river not a
dozen yards away. The accident was
caused by carelessness Of the official
whose duty it was to flag oncoming
trains and display the danger signal.
Through the Tightening Of an air brake
the Chicago express, which was behind
time, had been stopped in the Spuyten
Duyvil cut till the wheels could be ex-
amined. The usual train hand was
sent back to signal any engine coming
behind. But either through the neglect
Of his duty or through the oncoming
engineers failure to see him, the COLI
sion was precipitated without a mo-
ment's warning. The shrill whistle of
"down brakes' had hardly reached the
ears of the menaced passengers before
the terrific crash came. In the wild
excitement of the moment frantic rush
for the open air was made. Some
were caught by the crashing timber
and held as in wise some were scald-
ed by the steam from the engine and
sank down bewildered and overpowered
some tore themselves away from the
ruin and reached the open air only to
find the cars in flames and their less
fortunate fellow travellers perishing be-
hind them. Only after considerable
delay axes were procured and an effort
made to break into the blazing cars.
But before way to safety could be
opened to them the hapless occu-
pants were burned to a crisp. One
of the victims was State Senator Web
ster Wagner, who was burned to a crisp
in one of his own palace cars. Two
other victims were Park Valentine and
wife, Of Bennington, Vt, who had
been married on Thursday and were on
their bridal tour. They sank down
amid the flames and died in each others
arms.

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS, like other
misfortunes, seldom come singly. Since
the Spuyten Duyvil calamity, Friday
evening, three or four additional dis
asters by rail have been reported, in
one of which near New Albian, Indi-

persons were injured, three Of whom
are expected to die. Two Of the cars
caught fire from overturned stoves and
for time many of the passengers were
in danger of burning to death.
