The sad accident which occurred
Tuesday afternoon, at the Dyke street

Keeper is in attendance, but il il impos-
sble for him 10 he on both sides of the
track at the same time, aud as in the pre-
sent case, many disregard the warning
given them. Not only is this point very
dangerous, but better precautions should
be taken by the railroad company for the
protection Of its passengers at the station
but short distance below, AT which
point the track is not sufficiently lighted,
and no danger signals are displayed TO
warn the uuwary Of approaching danger

TO adopt the folding pocket style Of gate,
which eifectually closes the entrance 90
the track upon the approach of trains,
and put a stopto such accidents IA the
one just occurred, which is inevitable 20
long as the present condition Of things
remain.
