RAILROAD SAFETY.

The Boston Commercial Bulletin Is
novel 10 express its satisfaction that the
vast army OF Knights Templars and the
| thousands of visitors to Boston during
the week OF the conclave were transport
ed to and from the city without accident
OF any kind on the railroads. Indeed the
railroads centering in Boston deserve
credit for the expedition and fair
promptness with which they handled
the unusual thousands and that they
should have so successfully copcd with
what to the lsyman appears a Herculean
task is surely a matter for congratula-
tion. And we don't believe any OF the
railroads gave a generally better service
than did the New York, New Haven q
Hartford, as the thousands who used the
Providence branch are able TO testify. In
sucn times, we expect delays and lit
tie slowing down OF service and are dis
posed to be good-natured in a crowd,
but, as a matter Of fact, there was little
call for the exercise of any especial pa
t!ence. And there actually was not the
slightest mishsp or accident at any tim me.
AS The Commercial Bulletin observes,
even on the day of the great parade,
when the territory around Boston liter
ally emptied itself into the city, the
movement went on with the regularity of
cloclSwork, and the crowded trains fol-
mishap to person or material. The nu-
merous special trains from all parts of
the country, bringing and taking back
the Knights and throngs of foxcursionists,
sped over the rails with safety.
Ii is in such emergencies as this that
the improvements in railroad facilities
appear. II is only twenty years ago that
the centennial celebrations OF the battles
OF the revolution began in and about
Boston, and anyone who remembers the
manner in which the relatively small
crowds were handled, at that eane, al
though platform and cattle cars were
pressed into the transportation service,
will appreciate the advance attained.
During Templar week there were
crowds, but they all could ride in first
class passenger coaches, and there was
no appreciable delay in the movement OF
the trains.
1t Is only little more than a score OF
years ago that the dreadful Revere acci-
dent on the Eastern Railroad was entail
ed by the travel to the Hamilton Camp
meeting; 1t is scarcely half that time since
the horrible accident at Silver Lake
Grove on the Old Colony turned day Of
picnic aud pleasure into mourning.
Other fatalities too numerous to mention
were constantly taking place whenever
the railroads attempted to move a few
more people than ordinarily. In fact
day of excursion was one to be dreaded.
Happily this period of dread is substan-
TALLY past. There will always be accidents
on railroads, but we have come 10 feel
no especial dread of them in times like
Templar week, SO far have the railroads
inspired confidence in recent gears in
their ability to handle a crowd OF excur-
which mark their daily routine.
