Rail and Crosstie.

A general passenger agent, well in
formed, says nothing proves the demand
for fast travel more conclusively than the
patronage the new trains between New
York and Chicago are receiving. He says
inquiry develops the fact that not a com
plant is heard of the fare the passengers
must pay for riding on the flyer, "
and the same remark is applicable to the
limited train which has been run on the
Pennsylvania road for some years, be-
cause it makes so good time. So far as
the trains over the Vanderbilt lines are
concerned there is said to be a rush to Sc
cure seats on both the west and east
bound twenty-hour trains. The Ameri-
can people demand that magnificent dis
tances be traversed as rapidly as possible,
and they will force the railroad compa-
MES into the running of rapid trains on
all tirst-class roads Fright here is
where trouble may be looked for, " said
the official Lines which have roadbeds
that will not admit Of high speed will try
to keep up with the procession, and then
frightful wrecks may be looked for.
After road once puts on such trains it
can not go back to slow trains, and this
will result naturally in compelling all
frst-class roads to put on trains of a SIM
liar character or lose the high-class
travel, which never looks at expense"
