Was Il Fatality.

Saturday Cronicle.
"a Here was a mana train dispatcher
Ian employee Of many years Sober
honest, reliable. An accident had new
'er been laid at his door. He was trust
ed, because he deserved to be trusted. !.
It was on the Reading Railroad to
Wilkesbarre. The General Superin-.
tendent had taken new passenger en-
CINE from the Ashley shops for trial
trip. He went up the mountain grade
beyond the town, and waited for the
signal from the dispatcher at Ashley.
The dispatcher signalled that the track
was clear, and the Superintendent
started down the track at the rate OF
a mile a minute. But the track was
not clear. BY some inconprehensible
action of the BRAIN. or want of it, the
dispatcher-this man who had never
had an accident-had already given
the right Of way to a freight train.
Instantly realizing what he had done,
he shrieked after the. train, imploring
the engineer to reverse. It, was too
late. His voice was unheard. The
freight engine gathered Roadway, the
train shot up the mountain grade,
filed into a narrow pass, and then
then came a crash. The trial engine,
with the superintendent on board,
skimming down grade with momen-
tum of sixty miles an hour, dashed in
to the freight wrecklng and throwing
the engines>from the track. Under the
debris, mangled and crushed into
shapelessness, lay the superintendent
and the engineer Of the freight train.
When the dispatcher had realized the
inevitable consequences Of his mistake,
he raved like mailman, land tore his
hair, and praysd for revolver that
he might end his mental misery. But
it was done. Two men dead, and
one fatally injured A freight train
wrecked. What then? Guilty or not
guilty? Guilty Of criminal negligence.
Honest? Yes. Careless? Never be-
fore. And yet guilty. What part OF
that curious mechanism of the brain
was it that, just at that moment OF
supreme peril, refused to work, or jar
red, or become discordant, and made
possible SO dreadful g. calamity? Is
the brain, then, not infallible? A mo.
mentary darkness Of thought, a mo,
mentary bl,rring of the intellect-a
flash of light spans the crevasse be-
tween thought and thought, but in
, that moment the honest man becomes
q criminal. Who is to blame-the
! man or the brain? There is such q
wide difference between the man and
the head. Perhaps fate is to blame,
If fate could only be a0judged guilty.

Imprisoned in q ShipWrecked
Vessel.

From the London Standard.
One Of the most extraordinary es-
capes, alter shipwreck, was reported,
on May II, at Hull. On the previous
day q keel bound from Grimsby to
Leeds was driven against a sand bank
and capsized, and it was supposed
thatall on board-the master, his wife,
and three children-had persisted.
On that morning, about 10 o'clock,
the Captain OF q steam tug was passing
the spot where the accident happened,
and saw the keel floating botton up
ward on the edge Of Nhe sand bank.
He got as near to it as he could, and
presently heard sounds of knocking
coming from the cabin end. The crew
concluded that some one was on
board, and energetic steps were taken
to get the keel in such position as to
effect a rescue. After several hours
labor this was accomplished, and, a
hole having been cut through the bot
tom Of the vessel, the Captain's wife,
Mrs. Snowden. and one OF her children
were rescued alive, after an agonizing
suspense of nearly seventeen hours.
The water had nearly filled the cab
in where the woman and her three
children were sleeping, but there was
just space enough left for her to keep
her head and those Of her little ones
above the water, which ultimately
reached up to the mothers throat
When they were aroused by the sink
ing Of the keel and the thrush of the
water, she contrived to get hold
Of the children, who all held on by the
hair of her head, and in that way for
some time all OF the little ones were
kept alive, but during the day two Of
them died. Just as the man who res
cued them got into che cabin the wate1
flowed III and reached to the woman s
mouth. All the children were still
clinging to her hair, and she and the
live child were in a terribly exhausted
condition. The mothers hands We're
raw with knocking at the side of the
keel

Miscellaneous Notes.

English locomotives carry whistle which. be-
side that OF American manufacture, is as a
penny trumpet beside brass band Some of
the English locomotives carry two whistles of
different keys. They are used solely for sig
mailing.
The absence of steep bits of grade as we'll as
the comparatively few curves and the straight
lines on which the English railroad is built are
the outcome Of the peculiar British bull dog dis
position. The American railroad avoids OBJ.
stacles, the English railroad smashes them. says
correspondent of the Boston Compercial
Bulletin.
Poor's Manual for 1884 has a table of equip
ments and shows grand total in the United
States of 28.587 locomotives, 1898 passenger
cars, SOL baggage, mail and express cars, and
198, 399 freight cars of all kinds. From this
we find that there is on an average one engine to
every 1-3 miles of line, and one engine to every
% 7-l0 cars of all kinds.
The total average expenses, including wages.
repairs fuel and supplies, varies on the different
roads running out of Boston, from nineteen and
a half to twenty three cents a mile run by the
locomotive Of the former sum eight cents rep
resent fuel and four cents for repairs. fuel being
the largest item of the expense and thus the one
whose reduction is most quickly felt.

Freight Business Over Indianapolis Lines.
AT the request of several railroad officials we
change the character of the weekly statements,
and hereafter publish in full the statement OF
the corresponding week Of the preceding year,
instead of the preceding week of the current year
The movement of the preceding week will be given
weeklyin totals as follows: The total movement of

which number IL, $50 were loaded. The total
movement of the week ending Aug. +, 1885, was
16, 400 cars of which number IL. 3l4 were loaded.
1t will be seen that last week there were SAG
more loaded cars received and for
warded, and 55 more empty cars.
AS compared with the number handled

were COZ less loaded and 135 less empty cars.

the prospects are that all Indianapolis roads are
to come from their local business. All Indiana
roads have suffered in their business for few

Where Railroads Can BE Built with Some
Show of Profit.

A study Of the advance sheets of Poors Rail-
way Manual, for 1884, shows where railroads are
Bhc most plentiful, and where they are now most
ueaied. Grouping the States into New England,
Middle, Southern, Western and Pacific, and TAX
ing each groups share of the 125, 900 miles of
railway in existence at the end of the year 1884
BONE interesting figures are obtained New
England has 6306 miles of completed railway or
ohe mile to every nine and one-eighth square miles
of territory. The railway mileage of the Middle
group amounts to 10 203 miles, or one mile of
road to every seven and one, half miles of terri
tory. The Southern States have 1885 miles
Of road, mile to % square miles Of terri
tory. and the Western States have TO- 232 miles
of road, or one mile to every 2l. l miles of terri
tory. The Pacific group is at the bottom of the
AiSt with g. 742 miles of road, or only one mile to
g5 | square miles of Area Taking individual
States as the basis of comparison. Illinois stands
ArSt with 1909 miles of road, Pennsylvania sec
Dnd with 1916 miles, Iowa third with 1910, New
York fourth with 1885 Ohio fifth with 1916,
Texas sixth with 6,l9S, Indiana seventh with
S 5S4, Michigan eighth with 5 223 and Missouri
nis&h with 4, 1O9 miles. 1t will be seen from
these fgures that the future railway develop
meRt of the country is likely to be confined
chiefly to the three groups of States designated
ns the Southern, Western and Pacific.
Should BE Taken with Large Pinch of Salt.
lit is favorite trick of pessimists to enlarge
upon tho great economy of English locomotive
running aAd the superiority of the driver as COM
pared with the engineer" says correspondent
Of the Boston Commercial Bulletin. 'All such
statements should be taken with very large
pinch of salt The English driver has advantages
over the American engineer which are very real
and extremely effective. English railroads, as
everything in that country, are built for future
ages and without very much regard to the fail
uro or fortune of the original stock
holders. The road beds are extraor
dinaIily smooth and well balasted, and
there are few or no crossings at grade, necessita
ting slow running and wear Of bearings The
very nature OF the country favors the railroads
much more than thickly settled portions of our
own, from the absence of broad etreams and high
bills. Ia England itself there are very few of
the steep grades which trying to our own
aOeOGnoHves' 1t is questionable if some of the
