Philadelphia. Sept. 29.-Seven per-

die and twenty-five or more were in
jured in rear end collision of pas
senger trains of the Pennsylvania rail-
road this morning at Eddington, Pa.
Information as to the cause of the
wreck or the number killed or injured
was refused by the railroad 1t is
stated by passenger, however, that
the Long Branch express bound for
Philadelphia had stopped to cool a
hot journal. While the train crew
were at work on the journal, the ex-
press train which left New York at
7:30 a. M, thundered around curve
and crashed into the Long Branch
train. 1t was declared that the ex-
press from New York disregarded
signals and thus caused the accident.
Most of those killed and injured were
in the Pullman car on the rear Of the
Long Branch train. .....
Because of lack of facilities it
was some time before the work of
rescue began. A train was quickly
made up and most of the injured were
brought to this city, though some were
sent to Bristol and Trenton. Others
were cared for in neighboring farm
houses. The dead were extracted
from the masses of wreckage and
stretched out along side the track.
Two hours later the north bound
passenger train was stopped at the
scene of the wreck and the bodies of
seven dead were sent to the morgue
at Bristol, Pa, seven miles from
Eddington.

The experience of the Canadian commits
sion does not support that contention.
While the difference IN proportion oetWeeH
the Canadian and American railway eys-
TENS and other differences already polnteo
out between the two commissions ana the
relations of the railroads to the government
in the two countries make comparison
less valuable, yet the fact that In 1905 only
iJ6 applications, or cases. were submitted,
while IN the five months between the pas
sage OF the act and July 1. 1904, the total
applications were 80f. promises co-opera-
tion with the law rather than an attempt
to swamp II In litigation.
1t is also of interest to note that by the
provisions of the amendments adopted In
the recent parliament to the act of 1908
the Canadian commission can compel every
to file a tariff of tolls for approval, and
can change these tolls, and compel any
long distance telephone company to connect
with any municipal telephone on terms to
be fixed by the commission. This meets
situation which has arisen from the num-
Der of small independent telephone COM
panies that have developed in the rural dis
tricts and with which the Bell company
frequently declines to make reciprocal ar
rangements. Altogether to visitor from
the states the Canadian commission seems
to have, compared with our own COM
mission, an amazing lot of power, and the
comparison furnished is very interesting
indeed. ]. c. n.
