Safety Cars.

New Orleans Times Democrat
A collision which was reported some
days ago as having occurred near Pitts
burg, Indicates at least possibility that
the era Of railway disasters Of the worst
type may be drawing to close. A
Pennsylvania limited vestibule train,
travelling at full speed, crashed into a
heavy freight train. Though the engf
neers and firemen managed to escape
destruction, the locomotives We're
smashed to atoms; but of the passengers
on the vestibule train not one sustained
any injury worth mentioning. and a good
many OF them did not know for some
time after the collision that the stoppage
of the train was due to any unusual oc-
currence. Most Of the passengers, who
were asleep in their berths, were awak
ened by the crash, but mot otherwise
disturbed" Finally, the cars themselves
received such Insignificant injuries that
as sOon a. the track was cleared they
were able to proceed to their destina-
ton.
1t is Just possible that this remarkable
immunity from serious damage enjoyed
by both passengers and cars may be due
mainly 10 good luck. But on the face OF
il the case looks differently. There are
| the best reasons to believe that IL the
passenger train had been composed Of
the ordinary class of cars, the collision
| would have resulted in a disaster of the
| lar. There would have been a telescop-
| ing Of some OF the cars, q general derail-
| ment and upset. followed by conhagra-
ton and heavy loss Of life. But this train
consisted Of yestibule cars, and though

pieces, IL was not thrown from the track,
