Nov. l, all the railways and ferries of San
Francisco adopted 10th meridian time.
The Northern Pacific is running 100 trains
daily on the line between st. Paul and Bismarck.
The floating debt of the Union Pacific will be
reduced by Jan. l to a sum which will occasion
the company no inconvenience. 1t is now only
$500, 900.
The projected Midland railroad of South Care
lima is an assured fact 1t will run from Green
vile to Charleston, and will be seventy miles
shorter than the present line between those
cities.
1t will be surprising to many people to learn
that half as many men are employed on the rail
roads Of this country as are working in the en-
tire lot of industrial establishments. The rail
roads furnish employment to 1900, 900 men,

The decision of the Supreme Judicial Court of
Massachusetts, defeating the lease of the East
ern to the Boston & Maine, is considered as only
"a temporary delay of the inevitable" by those
friendly to the lease. They explain that the
effect will be to enjoin the lease only as to article
s. and by eXpunging that article the lease will
be sustained. This may require new vote of
the stockholders of the roads, and possibly the
drafting of a new lease, but they say that the
lease, in time, will probably be carried out

nIieht Be a Good Deal Worse.

1t is doubtless true that the general situation
with the railroads in this section is not favor
able as may be desired, yet it might be a good
deal worse. So far as can be ascertained tariff
rates are being maintained on nearly all classes
of freight both east and west, and those who
are in a position to be well informed say that at
no previous tine in the past two years have
freight tariffs been better maintained than at
present. The lines are also doing a very fair bus
mess for so late in the season, and the outlook

eellaneous freight during the remainder of the

The stave shippers win GrowI,

One of the inconsistencies of railroad rates
from the West to the East, and especially from
northern Michigan to eastern markets, has been
that lumber has been taxed more than slaves;
but after the first day of November this is to be
remedied The table of rates agreed upon, and
which goes into effect on the LIST of November
wipes out this distinction. On and after that
date the rate on lumber and slaves will be the
same This will probably cause some growing
on the part of stave shippers, but the railroads
Go not understand why slaves should be charged
less than lumber.

Railroad Aooidents Too Numerous.


There is still too many railroad accidents in
this country when the excellent condition of
the roads and their equipments is considered,
and the perfectness of the telegraphic sys-
tenn There is still too much careless
ness on many trains The Railroad Ca
zette gives summary of the rail-
road accidents in September, which shows
total of 100 accidents, in which 81 persons
were killed and ia hurt. AS compared with
September 1883, there was decrease of IS ac-
cidents of % killed and of injured Of the
total number of accidents so are recorded as
happening in daylight and As at night. 1t might
be supposed that accidents were more likely to
happen in darkness, but this does not appear to
be the rule by any means. Six Of these acct
dents occurred on Indiana roads. The nine
months of the current year to the end of Sep,
tember show total of s65 accidents, 299 killed
and /, 351 injured-a monthly average of 50 &C
cidents, 81 killed and 100 injured.

Want to Run Freight Trains on the Sabbath

For some years past the railways of Massa-
chusetts have not been allowed to run freight
trains of any character on the Sabbath, although
the arrangements have urged the necessity of SO
doing. Next week the Commissioners of Massa-
chusetts will render decision on the petition of
the Boston 6 Albany for leave to run freight
trains on Sunday that contain live stock or per
ishable property. The remonstrance against
such trains has been urged by religious people
from Springfield mainly in the interests of the
trainmen, many of whom reside there 1t is be-
lieved by these people that the pressure of ship
pers upon the railroad company has caused a
gradually increasing encroachment upon the day
of rest. and that the exception made in favor of
live stock is one easily complied with, to the ex
tent of one or two animals. to give excuse
