Railway Accidents.
A recent accident on our railways which came to nothing in the way of damages, comparatively, serves to remind readers of the contrast presented by late accidents in Europe and America. The moral is that trains ought to carry a supply of tools for breaking up wreckage to free the vie-
tims pinned down by broken stuff; that carriages ought to be built of steel and strong enough to resist telescoping, which is the cause of these terrible happenings; that electricity ought to be the invariable light on railways; and steam the only warmer.
