EXTENDING MONEY LAyIsHLY.

The Pennsylvania to Have Four Tracks Be
tween Philadelphia and New York.
James McCrea, manager OF the PENNSYLVANIA
fOOmpany's lines west of Pittsburg, who recently
returned from Philadelphia, states that the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company is exPending
money in improvements lavishly, on the New
York division especially. and the time is not far
distant when it will be a fOurtraek road from
Philadelphia to Jersey City. Meantime. the di-
visions west of Philadelphia are being improved
to an extent never before undertaken in one
year. Speaking of the improvements on the
New York division, the Philadelphia Bulletin
says: THE third and fourth tracks, which have
been under way for some time, are being laid as
fast as possible. an effort being made to have the
entire line from Philadelphia to Trenton and be-
tween New Brunswick and Jersey CITY, finished
as soon as practicable. At all available places
along the road curves are being taken out and
the IiRe shortened. Where necessary Co afford
additional facilities for handling freight, long
Pidings are beiag added, making at some plaees
fifth and sixth tracks for stretches of from ane
to four miles each way. Since the centennial
year the freight traffic has increased 80 per cent,
and 1T is found necessary to move not only pas
sengers, but the freight business as we'll, with all
possible dispatch, in order TO successfully COM
pete with other lines in eastern business and
western traffic via the lakes. Some of the freight
trains are run through at the speed of fast ex-
presses. At the Jersey City end the grading is
about completed, and two additional tracks are
being iaid. A second bridge across the Haeken-
sack river Is nearly ready for the rails"
