 The number of accidents because of the railroads still continues and when the people are about to rOrger the last one another one, even more serious than the preceding. occurs. for some reason, perhaps because Of so many tracks and the number of en. zines that are always switching in this section, more deaths result Ill Brooklyn from the steam cars than in all other parts of the city combined. In goodly number of cases it is boys that suffer, but adults also are among the list. and if record were complet- cd of the number of lives that have been ended in this manner in Brook lyn it certainly would be rather long. And it is the same old story: for a day or two. while the event is fresh in the minds: of the people, there is talk of doing something to prevent q repetition of a similar accident. but in a week the matter is forgotten and the people do not think of it any more until another life has been sent into eternity. 1t will be, indeed. a pleasure and blessing for Brooklyn when those grade crossings are eliminated and the change will come none too quickly for the residents of this sec. ton as we'll as all other parts of Wa terbury. And when these crossings are elevated and large portion of the danger removed, law should be pass ed to keep the public from using the rails as foot path. It certainly. judg- ing from the records, is a dangerous practice, and as it is the people who suffer they should resolve to do their walking in some place where it is not so dangerous. As the undertaken yes terday afternoon picked up the re- mains of Joseph Barnes, several in the crowd which had collected were nov ed to tears. Pieces of the boy were found here and there and as they were all brought together it was stout heart that was not at all affected. 1t was just o'clock when the body was removed from the ground. three hours after, the accident happened. Who ever was responsible for this delay in leaving the remains on the spot de- serves all the criticism that was gwen. and it only proves more conclusively that the city should have an ambu- lance that would be ready in case of emergency for such cases that are li- able to take place in the future.
