    Reports on a Daily News article discussing the dangers of low railway bridges for third-class railway passengers. Laments that the 'chances of safety on a railway, should be abridged by an undue abridgement in the height of the bridges' and intends to appeal to the 'Court of Arches' to satisfy the public's desire. The illustration shows third-class railway carriage passengers ducking down as they go under a low bridge.
