From the Pittsburg Times.
If a man takes ride of the average
length-almost twenty-four miIes-in a
railway train in this country, what is his
chance of getting killed? According to
the interesting report of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, just out, it is one
chance in l ,49l $40. If a young man of
20, Tilted by his sweetheart. should deter
mine to commit suicide without sin, by
getting accidentally killed in railway
accident, he might do it. Certainly he
might do it.
II he were to get on a train as a passen-
ger and ride, ride at the rate Of $50
miles an hour, day and night, every hour
of every day and every day in the year, if
he had average luck, he would eventually
get sUrcease from the gnawing pain a.
his heart somewhere in the course of
passing over 35, $40, 2S3 miles, for, accord
ing to these official figures, one passenger
is killed for every 81, $40, 2S2 miles that
passenger is carried.
According to the same, he would be in
jured in some way eight and three-fOurths
times, or eight times and very bad scare
1t is a little. better than one chance in
three that he would come to an untimely
grave in consequence of a collision. but If
he preferred to have the train run off the
track to kill him, he would have only one
chance in nine to be satisfied. His posi-

Morning News Referring 10 your ar
ticle in the MORNING NEWS of Jan. 26, I
do not think that it does justice to the

We arrived in Savannah, / am told,
forty-tive minutes before the, Savannah
Florida and Western train. This was the
object sought-tO get first to Savannah,
and we accomplished this We note that
the other road deducts for stUppages. We
might have done the same, but is it not a
factor in the excellence of arrangements
and in favor of good manage
meut, if delays are reduced to a
minimum.
l think that one reading the article
would suppose that the Savannah, Flor
ida and Western train arrived first. This
would be confirmed ON comparing the
statements of the time given-that the
Savannah, Florida and Western made the
run in hours rand minutes, while we
made it in hours and 80 minutes. Had
we deducted for delays, our time would
have showed eensiderab bly, less than three
