RAILROAD BUILDING.

No better barometer of business and
trade conditions is to be found than the
railway situation. The tread of COM
mercial and industrial affairs is recorded
not only by the volume OF commerce
carried by the transportation corpora
tons, but by their extension and de-
velopment as common carriers.
There are today 1873 railway lines in
the forty-four states and territories.
During 1894 the new track laid footed
up to but 1870 miles; for the current
year, however, the plans of the railway
managers call for the construction of
20,547 miles. Local conditions will
necessarily handicap the addition OF
the entire amount specified to the mile
age in operation at the close of last
year. Satisfactory evidence that the
officials believe that the times are pro-
pitious for extensions OF the railway
system is afforded by the fact that dur
ing the month of January 1888 miles OF
track were either wholly graded or in
contractors hands.
The steel rail mills are at the present
time uniformly running on long orders
which, together with the extensions Of
| the railroad interests, is proof of the
development of the country and of re-
turning confidence.

ECHOES OF THE RAIL.

THE last general assembly of Ala
bama passed an act which makes train
robbery in that state punishable by

AN English inventor has invented an
automatic air brake in which the weight
of the train supplies the power to set
the brakes.
THE railroad and warehouse commits
sion of Illinois has given an opinion
that one road cannot be made to fur
nish terminal facilities for another.
Mr.. LESLIE, the inventor of the ro-
tary snowplow, states that one of these
machines is now being built in Copen-
hagen to be sent to Russia. The Union
Pacific now has six of them.
IT is estimated that the LackawanIa
stores more ice for summer use than
any other road in the country. The
number of tons harvested by the COM
pany is said to be nearly 100000.
THE Bullock bill fixing street car
fares in New Jersey at three cents be-

port.
THE Southern Railway company is

owing to number of suits for damages
instituted by property owners in the

If the estimate is correct that the &C.
cumulated snow in Chicago weighed
35O,OOO,OOO tons, it may be of interest to
know it would have taken the twenty

carry it away, if they took as many
tons as they ordinarily do of all kinds
of freight.
