RAILROAD INTERESTS.
Interstate Board Presents Statis-
tics Of an Interesting Nature.
Nearly Eleven Billion Dollars Invested
In the Railroads of the Country
Many Roads In the Hands
of Receivers.

In view of the condition of the rail-
ways of the United States during the
last few years, the annual report OF
the interstate commerce commission
has a special interest. This report deals
with the statistics OF railways, as fol-
lows:
On June 80, 1895, 1863 roads, operating 81
SIS miles, were in the hands Of receivers.
The number of railway corporations ex-
listing was 1856. During the year Il roads
were abandoned, merged, 80 reorganlzed
and rs consolidated.
The increase in number of locomotives
during the year was 207 the total num-
Der being $685. The number of cars of
all classes was 1,22s, 2S1, decrease Of 1877.
The number Of passengers carried per loco
motive were 50,747, or 1907 less than In 1891.
The number of passenger miles per pas
senger locomotive was 1,o1S,967, or 225,4S3
less than in 1894, while the number of pas
senger cars per 1000, 900 passengers carried
was 65, or II greater than the preceding
year.
The number Of men employed by rail-
ways shows an increase of 5,426, as COM
pared with the year before, the number
of employees being 7S5,0S4.
The amount of railway capital was A0,-
9s5, 20S, lbs, or s63, $3.50 per mile Of line, an
increase during the year of slSS, 729, S12.
The number of passengers carried by the
railways during the year was 607, IA, 362,
decrease of g, 266, SS7. The number Of
tons of freight carried was COG, 761, III, an
increase of 5s,574,s1S for the year. The
gross earnings for the year were s1,075,-
81, 4s2, an increase of S2,0O9. 665. Passenger
revenue was s252, 246,1sO, a decrease Of s33,
1903 1878; freight revenues, s729 993, 466, an in
crease of $50, 500, $40. The expense of opera
ton was s725 z2O,4l5. or s5,693,9O7 less than
for 1894.
The number of railway employees killed
during the year was 1,S11, and the number
injured 1856; passengers killed, 10: in1
jured, 1876 The number of passengers
killed is remarkably small, being only one
out of each 2,9S4,SS2 carried, and only one
| injured to 213,65l carried. The liability OF
passengers to accidents is better shown in
the fact that n, 696, 743 passenger miles were
accomplished for EVERY passenger killed
| and 5,131 81 passenger miles for every pas
senger injured.

CLIMBS OFF THE BALLOON.

Money Induces Mrs. Weaver to DO What
Policeman Couldn't Accomplish.
A policeman could not dislodge Mrs.
Weaver from the balloon that struck
her, but the tender of five dollars by
the owner for damages to her flowers
brought her down.
Mrs. Weaver, who lives at No. 3612 La
Sale street, Chicago, looked out of the
house at six o'clock the other evening
and saw great crowd gathering in the
street and boys and men climbing over
her back fence. She thought the house
was on fire and rushed out just in time
to be hit on the shoulder by bag of
sand and bundle of silk. But the bag
had its fall broken by the corner of the
house, and the pile of silk caught on a
protruding nail, so she and Mrs. Bakers
baby, which she was carrying, were not
injured.
The parachute and the man that went
mp with the balloon came down in a
heap on a roof on Fifth avenue, and
the balloon sailed over to La Sale street
before Sollapsing.
Afteg the woman and the baby had
got out from under the balloon a COZ
cred man came along and claimed it.
Mrs. Weaver sat down ON the folds and
refused to bulge until the circus com.
pany had paid for the verbenas aud
marrowfat peas that had been trampled
down in her garden by the crowd.
After awhile policeman came in and
tried to drag the balloon out, butM
Weaver still sat on the folds and de-
manded damages. When the policeman
was dragging Mrs. Weaver and the bal
loon both off Mr.. Weaver came out of
the yard and threw the officer out.
After chat the circus company COM
promised with five dollars for the bal
loon, and it was loaded into a wagon
and carted off.

BIG CUT IN FREIGHT RATES.
Operations Begun to Divert Tea Trade

Operations Begun to Divert Tea Trade
from Puget Sound Ports.
For the purpose of cutting into the
business of the northern lines and ofdi-
verting the great bulk of trade from
the Suez route and from Puget sound
ports to San Francisco, and with the
idea of making that city the tea distrib-
uting center of the whole country, the
Southern Pacific company and its con-
nections, the Union Pacific alone except
ed, have joined in a movement to cut
freight rates on tea more than one-half
what they are to-day. Rates that are
now S1.50 for 100 pounds will be re-
duced to one dollar, and the prevailing
-than-carload" rates of three dol
lars per 100 pounds will be reduced to
just one-half that amount.
The lines that have Joined in the low
rates are the Southern Pacific, Rio
Grande, Western, Denver e. Rio
Grande, Colorado Midland, Burlington
& Missouri River, Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific, Missouri Pacific, the South
ern Pacific company's Atlantic system
via New Orleans, the Atlantic G. Pacific
and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe.
In connection with the several lines
mentioned, the Southern Pacific has is
sued special rate on tea from Califor-
MIA terminals to all points in the terri
tory extending from Colorado to Chi
cago and points common Herewith, and
from Wisconsin to New Orleans.
