The accident record continues.
1t Is already unparo llelled In the
history of this or any other coun
try. Every day brings fresh hor'
rors. Every newspaper Is red
with the bloody accounts Of lives
lost through iucompetency or In
efficiency or negligence of en-
ployees or the deficiency of equip
ment. Never has there been such
a series of fatalities In the history
of the world. So frequent do they
occur land so CHASTITY Is their record
that we scarcely give them pass
Ing notice, and yet day by day the
list of victims Is growing, Where
and when least expected lives are
lost. In vaiA are precautions ia
ken. 1t seems that an epidemic of
accidents has struck the country.
We trust the end is very near and
the record about to close.

The escape of the Biddles from
the Pittsburg Jail presents an Incl
dent stranger than fiction. The
whole plan and Its execution have
hardly ever been surpassed In any
novel we have read. But knowing
the desperate character of these
men, realizing that they would
willingly risk the remainder OF their
lives for liberty, 1t Is beyond com
prehension that they would have
any opportunity at all for the run
for liberty which was successful.
There was criminal negligence
somewhere, and the place should be
speedily sought. Topermit the es-
cape of such desperate criminals as
they are Is crime not only against
the community In which their lat
est crimes were perpetuated and
for which they were under sentence
of death, but 1t Is crime against
all society.

New York, Jan. 31-Thursday's
market again showed it's sympathy

as great as those in Sugar, and the
transactions in the two stocks COM

very active, was accompanied by
much confusion of sentiment regard
