LANNON'S BENEFICIAL THRILL.

Since daniel Lamont. vice president
OF the Northern Pacific railroad, Is still
alive. and no other lives were lost. the
accident 10 which he was subjected on
Saturday may be held as a great public
blessing
Mr.. Lamont was riding In his private
car over the Seattle d International
road. which is owned by the Northern
Pacific. when he reached a high trestle
between Getcheli and Arlington. An
extra train just ahead of the vice pres
ident's was stopped on the trestle by
some accident TO the engine. Never
theless. 1.-The passenger train went upon
and remained upon a trestie sixty feet
high. Behind It came laundering a
freight train and teiescoped his car
He and the other occupants fortunate
~ heard the noise OF the approaching
freight and rushed gu, Of their car into
the one before it. The engineer of the
freight train saw what was before him
and reversed his engine. but he could
not stop 1t until 1t had smashed the
rear car.
II Ii simply marvellous that the freight
train was STOPPED six feet earlier than
It might have been and SO avoided
hurting the passenger train into the ra-
vine below and causing the death of
every man on board. such utter stu
pidity or wan. OF care Is a reflection
upon the management OF which Vice
President Lamont Is SO nearly The head
In the FIRST placa. Il was Il piece Of folly
for the passenger train 10 stand on the
trestie when II could so easily have
been sent back II was rank misman-
stoppage of the train. a man was not
sent back TO signal the oncoming train.
More than this. IL is a disgrace To the
railroad management Of this state that
the interiocking system lis not used, so
tina, one train can never pass beyond a
certain distance while another train Is
ahead Of II. Sometimes. but very rare
ly. trains going In opposite directions
will collide. but the great majority Of
accidents by collision are by one train
overtaking another.
There is no doubt that. as the report
er who described the scene expresses It,
q calamity was averted which would
have sent a thrill Of horror through the
nation this morning. That thrill would
have been only because II was the vice
president OF the road who Was Killed
and not some poor devil OF n brake
man. 1t is TO be hoped that the thrill
which went through Mr.. Lamont when
he saw his impending danger may make
him more sensitive 10 the hazards rur
by passengers and tralnmcn. and tina;
they may never again be SO near the
chance or calamity. even though the
vice president should not 10 on the
train.
Out ~ evil cometh good. and the
marrow escape OF Vice President La
mont may be the beginning of a new
era OF safety IN railroad travelling.
