It IS not yet positively known whether the accident was entirely due tO criui nal carelessness. but 1t Is so believed
 lt is one brakesmau's sole duty when reaching this part of the ruad, and when the engines are unCOuplrd from the train, to see that a sufficient number ui brakes are set on the last cars of the tram Co prevent inst such accideuIs as the one that did happen. That he did not do nIs entire duty is evident He might have set me or two brakes, think ing that they would be sufficient, and left the train. Had the brakesman been at his post even after the train was two miles down the hill the brakes c.uIu have been set sufficiently to stop the tralu and thus prevent the awful acci- dent. But he Was not there. When the train reached the carve ID the road three miles down ffom the summit the coupling between the two ro tr e, aches and the sleepers broke, the two cars first on the tram as lt sled backward 60 vu the mountain passing tbe curve in safe ~. and the sleeper next them Jumping the track, and dragging the other CTS with lt down the emhHnkment. which was abOut fifteen feet high. The two cars sped on a couple of miles mOrp, when they were stopped by the passen gers. 1 delegation from these cars re- turned to the wreck. and tue Fceue~ there were truly pictured iu Sundav's report in the Times. The wreck WAS ht the heavy iill north Of the long bridge north of Iehachepi tank.
