OFFICIAL CITY g. COUNTY PAPER
The Pennsylvania Central and its
Manage ment.

The late terrible accident on the Hudson
River railroad, by which some thirty persons
were killed, and many others wounded Was
the result Of two causes-wooden br!dyes
and an inadequate number of persona to
protect passengers against accident and
this same neglect prevails upon many Of
the leading railroads Of tne country. A
notable exception is the great Pennsylvs
Central railroad, which may be properly
regarded in Gll its appointments as the best
equipped and most efficiently ma uaged in this
country or the world. Throughout its entire
length, the bridgss-And there .re scores of
them-Are all made of iron, and so strongly
built that the crushing of one by any weight
OF loaded cars that could be got upon it i.
simply an impossibilty. Nor is this all.
The complement of employees on the Penn
syIvAnia Central is equal to Almos. any and
everv emergency. There is no such thing
IN ia management as having wooden bridges
four-hfths of the time require him to be a
full qua rter of mile distant. Every point
where danger possibly threatens, is guarded
w'Eh the most scrupulous care. Nothing is
ieft undoue that will serve to promote the
safety aud comfort of passengers, and we
hazard nothing in asserting that such an
accident as that st New Hamburg, on the
Hudson River raiIroad-leaving the wooden
bridge out Of the question-could not, under
any circumstances, occur, for the reason
that the employees of the road are so dis
trlouied and so thoroughly comprehend
what is required of them, that an
approaching train could not fail to be warn
ed 10 time of the breaking of an axle or
other accident to freight or passenger
trAis, by which the other track was OBJ
siructed. As a natural result of this splen =
did management, the Pennsy VAuiA Central's
reputation has secured for it an amount OF
passenger and freight importation that
surpasses any other in the country. This
immense increase is due, SO far ss the pass
engers are concerned, TO the comfort speed
and safety OF the trains, and the saving OF
nearly 100 miles in the distance between
Philadelphia and Chicago, and New York
sad the latter city. The increase of freight
IS attributed to the numerous connections
which this great road has effected with other
roads. The PhiAdel phia and Erie road
which is properly branch of the Central
has become one of the heaviest grain carry
ing roads in the United States. In lesi
than four years the receipts of grain g
Philadelphia from Erie have increased from
seven to more than sixteen millions of bush
els, while other articles of freight bsvr
shown corresponding increase.
Taken as q whole, the Pennsylvania Cen
traI is the model road of America, or per-
haps of the world, and under its presen
efficient management bids fair to still fur.
raer extend its already well earned reputa-

All behind US dark and drear.
But be, ond This Life lhere's teaming
Yet another whose bright aJwers
Wait their never.dying perfumes
Through the Everlasting Hours.
