TWO RECENT WRECKS ON NEW HAVEN LINE

Two freight wrecks within a few weeks Is enough for the New Haven railroad, and steps should be taken by the management to tighten up the system, inculcate further ex- tension Of safety first principles, and prevent the development of the at- titude that wrecks have to occur once in while and that they can- not be avoided.
 The wreck on the Connecticut river bridge in Hartford closely followed the wreck at New Haven. Both were preyentable collisions and both produced fatalities.
 Both wrecks were due to one train being held up by a signal and another train not stopping In time The railroad company issued state. ments in explanation of bott wrecks, but such statements, wher they do not blame some individual rarely find fault with the system O. signalling and the danger inciden to halting one train and not haltinj another in the rear.
 Back in the Mellon days, when { series of disastrous wrecks helpet to throw the road into disrepute the wrecks were finally prevented as if by magic by the enforcement of better rules. of train operation and the development of bette morale among employees. It ma again be time for something of tn sort.

ON PARTICIPATING THE STEAM SHOVEL

There is something about the operation Of steam shovel that is a source of never failing admiration by the crowd that usually hovers in the vicinity where such a contriv- ance is being operated. A locomotive or a steamship has more power, but neither are as spectacular in the way they do their appointed tasks.
 The snorting engine operating a steam shovel seems to be the last word in mechanical fexihlity. For ward and backward, upward, side ways, it moves the big arm, at the same time operating the big maw at the apex of the long arm with as- tonishing efficiency. And one man, motionless, taeturn and with little muscular effort, controls every movement by a slight turning or pulling of levers.
 One of these monsters of goth century digging has been in opera ton on West Main street; others are in operation in other parts of the city, wherever cellars are to be due fin a hurry or excavations made.
