To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: noticed in to-day's Tribune the account Of
what might have been a serious accident the

land. the chain holding Of the sleepers part
ing and allowing one of the cars TO jump the
bumpers and hang one-third Of its length over the
end Of the transport. I have travelled many times
on that train. and have always felt uncomfoTta bile
while on the cars on the transport as considered
the bumpers quite too low and small. and ii seems
to me this accident proves that they were. Had
they been larger and higher the car would not
have jumped, It has but few feet to run be-
1ore meeting the bumpers, and its momentum
could not have been great. II is 10 he hoped that
the railroad officials will learn lesson by this and
not trust all to the chains.
