Seneca has always kept a strong delegation at this In stitution, and we are pleased to note that these young mon uphold the standard in Intelligence and good looks. We happened last Friday to be on Southern Train No. 12, which ran down and killed Mrs. Robertson at Liberty. Mid-day, the sun shining, a wide, clear, flat crossing; a per fectly strong, active (though middle aged lady), and still this deplorable accident. We were told by a wit ness of the tragedy that, had the wind not been blowing against Mrs. Robertson, causing her skirt to be caught, supposedly by the wheel of the locomotive, and throwing her, she would have crossed safely. Death then was caused by the small est possible error in judging time and space. Few individuals can suc cessfully judge a moving object, and those few belong to a class of rail road men and motor drivers who have had long experience. We re call the wise thought of a very small maid who, upon request to come nearer and examine the first track less engine she ever snw, replied: "No; it's loose; lt can go faster than I, and it might take after me/' All engines and motors are practically "loose" at short range, for they can only be stopped In a glvon distance. Why run risks? They can go faster than you can-and may "take after" you !
