pxArH DUE TO FALLING WIRES

Moro Psrssas Killed by These Than b.
Railroad Aecidssss.
We have recently had an opportuni-
ty to examine . batch OF newspaper
clippings giving accounts OF accidents
due to the falling Of electric wires.
says the Railroad Gazette. These clip
pings cover the months from May to
September. inclusive, but 1t 10 not TO
be supposed that We have found IN
them reports OF all or nearly all the
accidents Of that character which have
taken place. We have found enough.
however. to show that the matter Is .
very serious one. We hnd in the i've
months reports Of 122 accidents due to
falling trolley wires. In II of these
accidents ~ persons were killed. and
In % OF them 81 persons were injured.
and In IS Of them "a horses were kill
ed. During the same i've months We
hnd reports Of 40 accidents from fall
ing electric light q k>ephone wires.
showing that 9 peo ere killed In
accidents. 81 were n. ,fcd in % acci-
dents and horses were killed. The
nature Of the accidents Is very famil-
lar: that Is. broken live wire falls
into the street, and a passer-by steps
on 1t or picks 1t up and gets . shock
which Is often fatal. We thus hnd,
during this period. q total Of 2l fatal
tiles resulting from falling live wires
OF all kinds. At this rate Of mortal
ity. II It were kept up. 80 persons
would be killed In the year. In 1895
there were 3s assengers killed in train
accidents on all the steam railroads Of
the United States. so far as we have
been able to asc..tain. It appears,
therefore. that more persons are kill
ed by live-wire accidents than are pas
senSers In railroad train accidents and
the difference might be still greater II
complete statistics Of the former were
obtained. There have been widespread
and persistent efforts made by the pub
lie In various ways for many years to
minimize train accidents by legislation
and by agitation in the press and by
investigation and recommendations on
the part of railroad commissions, but
the serious mortality due to live-wire
accidents does not appear to have at
tracted much attention from the pub
lie. There are simple and obvious
means, which We suppose are not very
expensive, for preventing accidents OF
this class: but until the public realizes
the seriousness Of the situation and the
practicability Of remedying it probably
little will be done. We suggest this
subject as an interesting one for the
daily newspapers.
