Park avenue tunnel disaster returned a
verdict last evening fixing the legal re-
sponsibility on those shoulders whereon
public opinion had fixed the moral blame
that Is. upon the officers Of the New York
Central and Hudson River railroad The
jury declares that the officers Of that COM
pany during the last ten years have been
repeatedly warned by their locomotive en-
gineers and other employees of the danger
Gus conditions existing in the tunnel The
engineer under arrest was exonerated for
the reason that smoke and steam in the
tunnel obscured the signals. Other rail-
roads may read lesson In the accident and
In the verdict II there are other railroad
companies which rush trains through
smoke-flled tunnels and largely trust to
luck that wrecks may not occur, the ex-
perience OF the New York Central will prob
ably give them pause. The installation Of
electricity and adoption of approved signal
devices contemplated by the Centrars man

those companies whose plan Is to send
trains into union station In Washington
through a subterranean way.
