The Man in thB Street y Perhaps rhothing Is quite so terrible a reality as a wrecked train. A shipwreck is to most of us a horrible tale which cannot be quite realised in all the over- whelming terrors of its awesome settings and surroundrngs on the inimitable peeps. But all people are railway \.ra- veHers, many thousands have passed over the very line on which a train has been wrecked, srtd the horrible fate of a smash on the rails comes home to every- body with more appalling force than anything else in the shape of hum-an mis- fortuTie. The wreck of a train like that at Shrewsbury yesterday is a national calamity, and the people have special and re=!d rea-soTis to la-me-nt the accident, which has taken loved ones from among us and injured others to an extent not yet appreciable. The heart of the country goes out in deep and widespread sympathy to the victims. The Elliot! Junction (Arbro-sth), the Salisbury, and other disasters in the United Kingdom are still fresh in our minds. It is but poor consolation to know that these saddening events occur i so infrequently that when they do occur they are stamped indelibly on the mind. Indeed, the wonder is that, with such a compltoated network of lines that cast their cobweb-like outlines along and across the country, there are not even more accidents. The railways require the most intelligent direction and ser- vice, and there is no doubt that railway- men genera.Hy are among the mos ;I ?dvancefl workman who daily serve the public at the risk of their lives and limbs. There may be some who regard this fearful accident as the intervention of Providence, to call u'rgent attention I to the needs of the men who are seeking redress from their employers. I cannot go oo far myself, but it does seem that men who are entrusted with the lives and welf-he-ing of others should be free of the worry which a possible strike must have for them, when they re- member their wives and little ones at! 'home. "It is an ill wind that blows nobody any good," and it is just possible ?,t-Im-t with this additional anxiety on their minds the railway directors may consent to a conference with the men's representatives. The old year was just. closing when the came fram Watshington that in a railway collision on the Baltimore Rail- way 35 porso'na were killed and 50 injured. That diaaater, following the one at ArbToath, made the world think. But since then we have had the Salisbury and other tTB-Hi smashes, a.nd the ques- tkm arises, "Oa.n anything be done to prevoat these caiastrophesf" Much is bomg saad, and nghtly, aLotrt, the speed of motor-cars. Wha-t about the speed of i railway traioisP iTi nearly every disaster which has startled the world it is found that an express has played the hofribly prominent part. It was so at Elliot Jun-ction, later tho Plymouth boa-t train, and now at Shrewsbury, while the Balti- more express was gofng at the rate of 60 miles an hour when it d&shed into a local train. We cannot expect perfection from railway directors, but everything that can be done to minimise these acci- dents should be done. Practically every- thing is done, except perhaps in the regu- lation cf peed, c-spscially on curves. Is it impera.t'ive. then, that so many people must rush through the country at the quickest possible rate that they ca<nno.t acquiesce in a reduction of speed? Must it be 50 or 60 miles an hour and the risk, or not more than 40 and less risk? Having regard to the fact that these catastrophes almost invariably occur in connection wit'h express trains, it really seems that t-peed is the vital question to be considered if the future is to be freed from these too frequent rail- way disasters. According to a Lincolnshire J. P., Sunday is degenerating into "a day of gambling, guzzling, and motor-racing," and among the "upper ten" the Sabbath is "the great bridge day" while Arch- deacon Sinclair declares that every Sun- day 500.000 people are engaged in ""the amusement industry." Certainly the British Sunday is ve-ry diiferent to wht it was twenty years ago, and if the state- ments now made are tru-e it is a question which is the greater evil—tne straight- laced, sober-keeping Sabbath of then, or the merry, joyful Sunday of now. Per- sonally, I sh-ould go in for the happy medium. In the days of my youth Sun- day was the mmt miserable day of the week. From morning till night the constant parental injunction was, "You must not do that; it is Sunday" And all the children I knew p&ssed the Sun- day of leaden wings in wishing for the arrival of tne free Monday, even if it brought with it the bugbear of school and o-ther grudgingly-performed duties. It does not seem that many children of the present have to dread that awful; Sunday of the past. But the cnarge of Sabbath-breaking has more relation with the d-cings of rich people than wiTh. DIOse of the poor. Bridge and other forms of Sunday gambling appear to be almost the exclu- sive property of the "upper ten," while guzzling and motor-racing are altogether beyond the reach of the working classes —the former because it is against the upkeeping of the self-respect which is the main virtue of working men, and the latter because it is entirely beyond the reach of their limited means. If the poor wish to gamble they have to risk exposure, and those hapless youths who are caught at pitch-and-toss by lynx-eyed constables rightly find very little sympathy when brought before magistrates, who, possibly, were playing at bridge in their -drawing-rooms while their humbler brother in gambliitg was utilising the neld corner in which to throw the nimble coin of chance. How- ever, let it he clearly said that gambling i-n any form can only be demoralising in consequences, and in any class it must be condemned as a practice whK;h is against the good o£ the nation. But why discriminate betTvcen rich and poor ? And why only punish the latter ? The right thrng,tomymind, is the Sun- day between the old and the new. Sunday is the one day in the week which mofst people can cla-im as their own, to act as they like, free frccm all over&ighfb or con- trol. It should be made a day of genuine;- unobtrusive pleasure, P-uiot and excitement do not provide the rest which the worker requires neither do those who have been shut up all the week m factones, shops, and omces require to be further impri&oned beyond a few rea.son- &ble hours on the day of rest. It Is abso- lutely vital to the host interests of the nation that the Sunday of rest should be preserved. It is the only chance of recuperation that thousands of workers get, and without its intervention the people would visibly degenerate. The ideal Sunday seems to be spent by the person who in the morning attends a bright, musicaj service) witt-h a brisk free- breathing waJk previous to that truly British cusbom; the special Sunday dinner. Then comes rest for digestion a<nd light reading before an afternoon stroll is enjoyed. After tea, what joy is there to equal the fa-mily gathering round the pia-no, and an evening of music (not always perfect harmony in the musica.1 sense) in which aJl can take part? By all means, let u-s pnespTve <mr Sunday. It is the ng'ht of the people. But let us have it as bright and as restful a.s possible.

From there they were pa-ssed on to the Salop Infirmary Iby the police and railway ambu- lance men, where they v/ere looked after by the medica.1 ataff and Dr. Bueklie and Dr. Barter. "The work of rescue was going on for well over two hours, it being a most dinicult operation, and requiring great care because of the falling woodwork. As soon aa you moved one carriage you had to look oat for other portions colla.paing on top of you. Several bodies were recovered only by mea.ns ot the jack, they being so tig-htly wedged in betwe-on the carriages. fireman was so wedged in between the tender and the online that it waa impossible to reiaove him until 4.53 in the aft-ei-noon. when he proved to have been very badly scalded and bnmt. having been pitched right into the stoke- hole." An OfFioa) Statement Mr. Harris, deputy-superintendent of the joint line, made the following statement:— "The train was one of the Bristol expresses. duo to leave Crewe pt 1.20. She was run' ning fairly on time. and was due at Shrews- bury to &top at 2.5. It had on it the Scotch mails. and it joins at Shrewsbury the other portion of the train from the North. The train g'oes on then to Bristol a.nu the West of Eng'laud. It was made up of 19? vehicles, which wa? a fairly heavy train. and there were a number of returnjn? excursion passengers on it. chieny to South ?Wales. Out of the whole lot there was only one vehicle which stuck to the rails. and that was the last. The vehicle in front of that had two wheels on the rails, but the whole of the passenger coaches left the mctala. The train arrived at 2.7 opposite the ei,n,al-box at Cr&we Junction. Prerv1.01lsly it had passed the signal-box !n the rear. according to the signalman's statement, at a speed of about 50 or 60 miles an hour. and all his signals were at danger. In fact, the signals at both boxes were at da.ng'er. "The regulation speed refund the curve is about ten miles an hour. There wae a train Istanding at the platform, but not at the one by which the Bristol exurese would, ha?e come in. The trajn ata.nd.ing at t'he plat- t'oTm wa? the portion whi?h wouM have joined th-e wrecked express. The line was not, absolutely d'ear into the station, and, in accordance wth our regulations, the driver was warned at the outride section. "The sig'na.!m.a;n ca/n say nothinx about t.be dieas'ter except that the train approa'cbed at an unusua.1 speed, and all that he said he could eee wa.s the smash. It was raining ?cheavily a't the time. Night Inspector GrifBtha was in cha.rg'o of the sta'tion, and at '(hc t:me of the acc.i?Icnt the staff on duty were a.ttondd.nsr to the brain already at the platfoT-ni.

Th-&re are mmally fou.r guards on thia t.rain, aj:d Guard H. Birch, who worked the rear poTtion, &t.ates in his report to os that the train was running' faster than usual. He went to apply the vacuum brake on rea.Iisin? that fact, but found it had already 'bee-n doTie. All the signals were against the train, and the gnaro supposed that the driveT, noticing' that he was rmuruig past the rigllals, put the bra,keB on. They are on now, in fa-ct."

Several powerful cranes were employed, but the work was dimcuM. a.nd not without danger. Indeed, in the aftern{)()Il man had a narrow escape of senoua injm-y. He was struck on the head by a ccmer of a missive portion of me wrecked tcn-der, which was being hauled up by crane. He was stunned, but the injury was not serious. During the morning the engine was raised from its side. The driver's body was dis- covered; but it was not until late in the afternoon that the fireman's crushed body w&e removed from beneath the heavy iron- work. At about five o'clock the body of the guard of the nah truck was released, and the workers soon afterwards found the body of a lady, aged about twenty, pinned beneath the wreckage.
