RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.

Considerable space has been taken up
in the news dispatches during the past
day or two with the reports of rail-
road collisions. and this morning there
are other collisions reported. The
worst of the lot was that on the Cen
trail of New Jersey Railroad. in which
more than twenty-five persons were
crushed and mangled as a result of the
failure of the engineer to obey the sig
nal that had been set for him. He
was driving a fast and heavy express
train at the speed of approximately
mile minute. There was a slower
passenger train in the block ahead of
him which had come TO a standstill be-
cause of a hot box. This train sent
back a hagman. but as the train got
under way again TIE fiagman was re-
called. Then came the fast express
like the monster that it proved, and
plowed into the. back end of the train
ahead The engineer, who was fatally
injured, told a man who pulled him
out of the wreck: IT am responsible
for the accident. 1 saw the danger
mai Jul SApSStcu II " Nul II
This disobedience of orders was at
tended with frightful results, not only
to the engineer himself but to the train
load of human freight that had been
intrusted to his company. OF course
he had no right to think" the red sig
nal would turn white" but the liabil-
ity of men to make terrible blunders is
a consideration that cannot be elim
mated in connection with high speed
travel. When one, reflects upon the
vast responsibility that Is upon the
shoulders of the man who sits in the
cab of locomotive and the number Of
things that might occur to incapacitate
him at a critical moment, the wonder
is that there are not more accidents.
There is no division of responsibility
in an engines cab Sudden illness, a
fainting fit, mental alteration, an ac-
cident to the engineer unseen by the
fireman, who has his own duties to at
tend to, leaves the train and its pas
sengers at the mercy of chance. 1t is
probably safe to say that if there had
been two competent men in the cab
of that fast express on the Central OF
New Jersey there would have been no
collision. The second man would not
have permitted the train to run past
the red light. thinking it would turn

elared that Vermont has sleighing
more weeks in the year than any 9TH

assertion he related the following

You make pretty good maple sugar
up in Vermont
Yes; our maple sugar is the sweet
est on EARTH

there, too"
THE Morgon horses bred in Yer
mont are not excelled anywhere in the
world
Pretty girls, eh?''
Vermont has the prettiest girls in
America"
well, Vermont must be pretty much
of a state" the middle man would
say, in conclusion.
TITS the greatest state in the I'm
ion," was Whites answer. There is
just one thing about it 1 don't like.
