Accident on the Southern Pacific

An accident occurred on the Southern Pacific Railroad near Ventura, Cal., on the 16th ult., which resulted in the injury of forty-six passengers. The train was running at a rate of fifty miles an hour, to make up lost time. It seems that humanity never will learn that lost time can not be made up. Men are often deceived by an imaginary gain of time that has been misspent, but whatever the apparent gain, it is always at great cost.
