THE unexpected has happened in Ho-
boken, N J. A coroners iury has brought
10 verdict specifying that the nagman
Is guilty Of the negligence which caused
the fatal railway accident there The
verdict throws no light on the cause. but
criticises the management Of the rond
The words Of the verdict are: THAT
The hlgman Of the Dover train
neglected his duties in not prop
eIly Tagging the South Orange
traiu when his the Dover train, ran o.
a slo rate Of speed, aud by not doing
so, primarily caused the disaster" Ia
another paragraph the jury fads
fault with the railway management for
not providing the proper signal system.
rhe jury states that such a system
would prevent accidents u Is
rare that coroners jury ever
arrives 40 sensible conclusion
It is stll more phenomenal for the
verdict Of the iusy to be ssnsibly stated
Thus, in this case the unexpected has
happened ia two respects As to the
evidence upon which this verdict is based
that may be sufficient or not, we cannot
tell But Il is o wholesome fact that the
