important Trade Mark Injunction In

| A London telegram of May 5th says: "In
the suit of the Charles A. Vogeler COM

IF this city, the Court of Appeals has grant
ed tie plaintiffs perpetual injunction,

The Cost Of Running a Train.

AS the passenger sits at a car window
and sees the mile posts whirl past, he
seldom stops to reflect what it has cost
the company TO pull the train a mile.
A party OF gentlemen, some of them
experienced business men. sat in the
lobby of the kennard House YESTERDAY,
when the question as to the cost of run
ming an ordinarily heavy passenger
train was raised. Several of them made
estimates, but every one of them was
far below the amount. The average
cost OF running an ordinary passenger
train OF from six to ten coaches is from
u to Sl.25 mile. This NAV seem
large at first, but when the several items
are taken into account one will suspect,
after all, that the estimate is too small.
One of the principal items is the run.
ming of the locomotive. 1t has been
the study of master mechanics to re-
duce the cost of running an engine, and
each claims to be little closer in his
calculations than the other. The aver
age cost during January of running
the engines on the Bee Line, for exam.
pie. was 1877 cents per mile.
Freight engines run at q cost per mile
of 1913 cents. Passenger engines cost
less, viz, 1924 cents per mile: while
switch engines, which are credited with
so much mileage per day, regardless of
the distances run, are run at so low a
cost rs to reduce the average to 1877
cents per mile. The engines ran "a. 63
miles to ton of coal. and 1888 miles
to pint of oil.
Added to the expense of motive
power is the outlay for wear and tear
of cars; it is estimated that it costs
three cents mile to keep sleeping
car running, and the wages of train
hands, etc. The expense from the item
OF wear and tear is increased by an in
crease of the speed of a train. The
special trains on the Lake Shore, run |
ming at a speed of about forty miles an
hour. and the fast mail, at about thirty
seven miles, are the most expensive
trains on that line. 1t is not generally
known what the Government paws the
Lake Shore people for running the fast
mail from New York to Chicago, but
it ought to receive at least $500 to fully
it. Another little item of
railway operation is the expense of
stopping and starting a train, which an
experienced railroad man said yester.
day could not be effected at less ex-
pense than from eighteen to twenty-five
cents at each stop leceland Herald.
