THE BROOHLYN MASSACRE.

With no more delay than is necessary to
comply with the proper formalities. somebody
should be sent to prison for the horrible man
slaughter which occurred in Brooklyn yestcr-
day, when a steam derrick, a construction car
and two heavy iron girders fell from the ele-
waited structure, struck strect-car and killed
several persons and wounded many more.
This was no accident. 1t was murder. IL was
simply careless murder. 1t is no accident
when a catastrophe occurs against which no
precautions have been taken, but which. on tho
contrary, has been rather invited The proof
* clear that the contractors who are extending
the BROOKLYN Elevated road have all along been
recklcssly Indifferent to the safety OF people
passing on the streets below. Only three
months ago an "accident" similar TO this hap
pencd, and all that prevented its resulting IN
human massacre Was the alertness OF tho
strect-car drivers.
One of the Brooklyn boilcr-inspectors de-
cla,cs that he told the foreman Of the gang
working at the scene of the disaster that tho
derrick was topheavy and unsafe, and that he
reported that fact at headquarters On Monday.
II this is true or indeed. whether 1t Is or not
lint doubly so il it isl the city authorities have
NEGLECTED their duty in the matter and must
feel a large measure OF responsibility for tho
horrible result. II they have not known that
the contractors were doing careless work. they
should have known it. Quite enough has 0c-
Cured to warn them Of 1t. They have per-
mitted many nuisances in connection with the
elevated extension all of them extremely irri-
,ating to the public and many Of them mcnacing
