Death Hand Guided Train in Tunnel.

With his hand on the throttle of his loco
motive Daniel Mahoney. engine driver of
the express due from New York at West
Philadelphia Sunday night, was instantly
killed as his train entered the tunnel at Gil
rard avenue Philadelphia. According to the
fireman, who was the only witness to the
accident there was hot box in the loco
motive, and the engine driver had been lean
ing from the cab window at intervals to
watch 1t. Forgetting the proximity of the
tunnel and the closeness of the walls to the
tracks, he looked out again just the 10
connective entered. His head coming in vio-
lent contact with the wall, was crushed in.
The fireman took the throttle as the train
emerged from the tunnel and ran it into

TAKING RISKS ON THE ELEVATED.

Although the danger which results from the

to the management rather than to the employees

would take the necessary steps Here is one of
them.
At 110th-st the West Side line makes double
turn, abandoning Columbus-ave, and contiau-
ing its northward way along Shave At a
short distance from each of the curves a small
placard is placed, instructing the motornan
to reduce his speed. These placards can be
seen by day, bur are practically invisible at
night Why have they not been supplemented
with lights which will serve the same pur-
pose? Is there less Hkelihco cd Of dera ilment a 4

were needed were therefore cast In favor OF the
resolution, and all the intriguing OF the last TWO
weeks came to nothing in the end
The chief arguments of the opposition were
thst the resolution proceeded from an obJec-
tiOnable source and that the investigation was
intended to smlFeh TaInmany on the eve OF a
municipal campaign. The truth is that the
New-York public generally believes, rightly or

serious abuses are discovered. That is the real
source of the resolution ordering an inquiry.
Tammany's confessedly singular dealings with
the lighting company, which the Controller has
once approved and twice repudiated, should re-
suit in an exposure prejudicial TO the political
interests of that organization, the community
and the legislature would not be TO blame; but
that is not the object in view There has been
an impulsive demand that the statutory price
of gas should be reduced, and many have Joined
in it who are ready to testify that former re-
auctions gave no relief. Clearly the wise and
proper course is TO ascertain in advance what
the facts are, and to act or refrain from taking
action accordingly.
As we said iast week, an investigation might
be instructive and lead to important public
benefits. Almost as long as any one can remem-
her. gas companies in this city have been ac-
cused OF dishonesty and extortion. 1t Is time to
get proofs of the charge or dismiss 1t, and we

should not enable true verdict of conviction

sound Judgment.
