Garris On The Wreck. Report On Recent Disaster Ai Flailing Creek?Defects In Present Law Noted ? Several Important Recommendations Made. Columbia Rorord. Railroad Commissioner Garni has submitted his report on the wreck at Fishing Creek for adoption by the board and also makei several important recommenda tions of interest to the public. After a description of tho trestle and tbo scene of the wreck Mr. Garris says of the trestle. i4I found that the remaining trestle, consisting of about fifty feet, contained unsound timber, but I did not find more than two consecutive crossties to be worth* less, or entirely decayed. A part of the under structure I found in a condition of decay. The trestle lies along a tangent where the spreading of the rails is quite un| usual. I examined all the track j wheels that I saw and found them ! intact save one which was of the four under the front of the engine, the flange on one of these was broken off for about twenty inchos, and it was pointed out to me by the superintendent that the fragments of the wheel wore gathorod up about fifty feet to the roar of the point where tho engino lay. I The remainder of the trestle with tho cars which were a total wreck wore burned before 1 loathed there." After calling attentiou to the I fact that although tho commission is required by law to examine all trestles of tho 3,000 miles of railI ? way in the state, a thorough inspection of all these would require all of the time of the commission, Mr. Gains states that it would bo ridiculous for the board to attempt to guarantee the public ogainst accidents owing to defective con struction. Mr. Garris in closing says: ''There is but ono method of fixing responsibility known to me 1 - - * mb a icgmizea one, and that is for sufferers to avail themselves of their right in damage, it would be, indeed, a poor protection to our poople if the (). K. of this commission should exempt any railroad from the consequences of its acts of negligence. "But to return to the matter directly under discussion, 1 must report to you the feelings of the people in York.county. 1 found it so intense that none were wilK ing to discuss the catastrophe as resulting from any other cause than that of defective construction. I visited the sick rooms of the wounded at Uock Hill and found the patients wounded in this wreck in the care of trained nurses ana under the eye of the best medical talent obtainable. It was a sight that I am sure would stir the deepest sympathies of the human heart. I saw mothers by the side of sons lately the pride their lives, but now in the agony of premature doath; wives at the sides of stricken husbands, and one and all with the choking conviction that their loved ones were Tymnet ui mnueuty on the part of a transportation company who had promised safe conduct. 4l()f caurse,* accidents will happen everywhere, and so serious often as to take the life of some one's loved ones, and tho conse 4 I quenccs iiI j?;i>s from the memory of al! save 44a| loving few." j The legislature has not seen lit to ^ ' consider this ollice with such fa-, vor ai to provide us with means to protect the public in the small* lest measure beyond our own ser* I viees. 1 Jut we owe it to the public ^ to do what we can to guarantee I Protection.
