THE ACCIDENT on THE BRIDGE.

Tens of thousands of people are brought over
in the bridge cars from Brooklyn to New orK
in the crowded morning hours and are taken
back in the evening. The trains are made up
at short intervals and sent out as quickly as
possible with the limited facilities afforded by
the insufficient space for tracks and switches,
while every foot of room on the station plat
forms and every inch of standing space on the
trains arc occupied 1t is an eager, pushing, jos
ting crowd that is hurrying to the labors of the
day before 8 o'clock and is Fastening home to
dinner in the latter part of the afternoon or in
the early evening. 1t may be no easy task to
provide for this multitude without hitch or jar.
But such accidents as that of yesterday are
readily avoidabe. Genuine executive ability
is rcQulredin the management, careful selection
and supervision of employees are indispens-
able. The collision of yesterday shows that the
discipline of the employees is not at all what 1t
should be.
"A train made up of two long cars leaves the
Brooklyn station at S:45 a. H. The grip on
only one of the TWO cars catches the cable COM
plctely. OF course some person is in fault for
this. Either the grip or the cable had not been
ir spected with sufficient care and the men who
were employed for the express duty OF seeing
that each car caught the cable were negligent.
The train was drawn up the incline by the
clutch of one grip on the cable. The strain
pro Sed too great when the ears were near the
highest point and the train slipped back. The
next train following was properly slgnalled,
stopped and then backed down the incline. y
third train had just left the station and a col
lision occurred between the second and third
trains by which many people were slightly IN
iured and two so badly that their lives are in
danger.
The exasperating feature of the matter Is that
the accident was so easily avOidablc as to be
wholly without excuse. 1t should not be at all
difficult on a short line of this sort to secure
the services Of men who will inspect cable and
grip with sufficient thorOughncss, OF train
guards who will not neglect proper precautions
and who will give and regard promptly the sig
nails that are indispensable in any emergency
If the Legislature will rid us OF the present UNI
wieldy body of trustees, il will take the first
step necessary to concentrate responsibility
and to lessen danger.

TIE 4nYENT MISSION.


Tho Advent Mission in this city has thus far
fully justified the hopes that were entertainer
concerning it, The services in all the churches
in which it is held have been well attended
many of them have been crowded ; ana IL Is
evident that the Mission will exert VIDE III
huence for good. The services thus Tar nave
brought out few points which 1t may De well
to bear in mind First, the failure OF the service
for workingmen week ago last night makes IL
evident that such services for special classes,
though perhaps feasible in England, are not
wanted here. WOrkingmen naturally, and we
think properly, object TO being quarantlncd III
that way, and will stay away from services or
churches designed especially for them lhey
have an idea that a service for poor man Is
apt to be a poor service.
Secondly it is manifest that the Episcopal
Church with all its consery atism Is able TO con-
duct a religious re Vval with dignity and sue
cess. There is in this mission every evidence
that the men who have Organized it are not only
filled with zeal, but possessed OF tact and
worldly wisdom. The machinery OF the MIS-
sion has worked smoothly and well.
Thirdly, it is shown that the classes OF people
not usually amenable to the appeals of the re-
vivalist are ready and willing even to put aside
their business, in order to hear the simple
preaching of the Gospel. We have been told
that this is cynical aud materialistc age, until
we have almost come to believe the statement
to be literally true. But it is not. The age is
tremendously earnest and serious, underneath
the crust of its persifage, and religion has still
powerful hold upon the thoughts of men.
The spectacle of Old Trinity filed to over
flowing every day last week with a revereut
congregation of hard-headed and presumably
materialistic business men was striking PROOF
that religion Is a reality even in the avenues OF
trade. When thousands of busy men III this
busy metropolis, in the busiest hour of the day,
thus fiji a great church to hear a sermon the
glib tongued people who say that religion is
dead may well keep silent; and those cynical
prophets who predicted that business men
would not 20 to these MONDAY services unless
ticker" was put in each pew will now have a
chance to revise their shattered prophecy.
If the Advent Mission can induce people to
60 TO church on other days besides Sunday, why
may not the regular clergy of all the churches
make the attempt2 There is apparently a
tremendous waste of money in building expen-
siyc churches which are used only two or three
hours week. Many, indeed, are open all the
week, but there is no reason why many more
should not be open also. Nor is there any
reason why some churches fayorably situated
should not have a MONDAY service with stir
ring sermon similar to that which has been so
successful in Trinity. The time has apparently
come when such an experiment might be
proGtably tried. If the Advent Mission had
dame no more than prove that the world Is not
altogether absorbed in material pursuits, 1t
would have done good thing for the Clutch
and tho community ut large.

The transfer of the New York, West Shore
and Buffalo Railway to the Ncw-Iork Central
has finally been accomplished. The last steps
of the business were rather more hurried thah
the first; but nevertheless the hSC
state of the West Shore Company
will doubtless | be better than the
first. The plaintiff stockholders recently con-
cluded that they were mistaken IN thinking
that the transfer would hurt their interests,
and their suit to prevent it was discontinued
Yesterday. Then with rapidity which
surpasses that of the fastest train on the Cen,
trail road new company was formed, called
the West Shore Railroad to which the pur-
chasers at foreclosure sale transferred the
property they held. Immediately this corpora
ton fulfilled the object of its existence ana
leased the road to the New-YOrk Central tor

to transfer this important railroad property
