Important Recommendations Re-
Earding tho metropolitan Branch
Junction.
In the case Of John Sullivan, who was
the fsgman at the "Y" on the 18th Of
July last. when the collision occurred by
which Engineer Michael ]. Rilox. lost his
iifo,a and for which neglect to signal the
train, Sullivan has been indicted for man
slaughter, the grand jury yesterday made
tho following additional report: 'The
grand jury find that the accident at the
'Y' on the evening of July IL last was
not caused entirely by the negligence of
the flagman. Sullivan. but thatlthe BSlti-
more and Ohio Railroad company are
also culpable and should be held respon-
sible for the same, because they impose
too much labor and responsibility upon
their employees. We find, also, that the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company
run their trains at the rate of from
twenty to thirty miles per hour within
the limits Of tho city, which we believe to
be in direct violation of law and en-
dangering human life. We are of the
opinion, also, that tho city authorities
should require the said Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad company to build or place
double track at tho ~ or abolish the
'Y' altogether; also, that the said COM
pany should be required to put gates at
the junction Of First and III streets north
east, as the public safety unquestionably
demands it. These conclusions were
reached after the grand jury Rad gone
out in body and examined tho promises
and points above mentioned"
