THE MELRosE DISASTER.
Troy, n. Y, Jan. 1S.-The coroner has
concluded the examination into the cir
Troy & Boston railroad at Melrose on the
18th of December last. The jury in the
verdict say: ''We find Superintendent Jos.
| Crandell, Engineer Charles Killingbeck,
Conductor 81. L. Winnard, and Train Dis
| patcher Richard j. Bennett guilty, several
| ly and jointly, of causing the deaths of
Frank G. Brundage and John Riordan,
and that the killing of said Brundage and
Riordan was criminal and not accidental,
| inasmuch as it was preventable, If
| the said Crandell, Killingbeck
Winnard, and Bennett had performed
| faithfully their several duties. We feel ii
duty to commend the precautionary meas
ures adopted by the company since tie &C.
cident to prevent a recurrence of such &C
cidents. There appears, however, to be
much in the management of the road that
| needs correction. Over worked, poorly
paid, and inexperienced employees, an over.
burdened single track, unsuitable cars and
rusty brakes may be necessary concomi-
tants of an INDECENT corporation, but the
interests and safety of the travelling pub
lie demand something different. The cor
oner will issue warrants for the men to-
morrow.
