The scalds of the passengers were caused by the bursting steam pipes, aud had it not been for the prompt assist a nee rendered by the neighbors initio others would probably have been killed. Plnued down by the wreckage, the women and children screamed aloud as they lay there writhing in agony. Death would have been a welcome messenger to many, but only one was permitted to cease suffering. IIow furreaching this incident may be it Is difficult to conjecture. For many years it has been said time and time again that when members of the police force wanted transfer favors they were compelled to pay their superior officers for them. It also has been eaid that in many instances policemen marked for transfer bought off the powers that would have transferred them to precincts less desirable, congenial and profitable.
