RAILROAD NOTES.

The Erie Railway company have add
ed a large number of cars to its equip
ment recently. and a further addition
to the rolling stock is to be made short
ly. Several changes in officials have
been made. the chief one being Il new
manager at the western end of the sys-
TEN. Other changes are being ar
ranged. A change In the methods of
bookkeeping has also been inaugurated,
and while the figures OF net results will
be smaller than previously issued, they
will show the exact earnings Of the
company. A physical examination Of
the road has just been completed. and
shows II to be In much better condition
than when the receiver took charge Of
it. Additional terminal faculties in
New Jersey are being acquired and
more facilities in this city are to be ac-
quired shortly.
The transportation department of tine
Lake Shore road has been rerating the
loads for their locomotives. Hereafter
l476 tons. which means about forty-five
loaded cars, will be the tonnage of
trains hauled by their locomotives with
11X24 inch cylinders. So light are the
grades on the road that such light en-
gines will draw as long trains as 1t is
safe to haul. The limit of any train,
loaded or empty. is placed at go ears.
In all probability there will be a
meeting in few days of all the COM
mittees that are now at work arranging
for the consolidation of the Pennsyl-
vaaia railroad In South and West New
Jersey. A number of conferences have
been held between the various COM
mittees and Judging by the expression
made by the different members 1t Is
more than probable that the movement
will be a successful one.

course Of the Storm and How the Deat
 Roll Is Divided.
 Chicago, H.. May 2S.-From reports re- ceived up to 1 o'clock this morning from Missouri, Indiana and Illinois cities the destruction and extent of the appalling cyclone are shown.
 The storm began its work of devasta- tion and death near Moberly, in Randolph county, In the northeastern part of Mis- souri. It then passed southeast into Audrain county, where the school house at Rush Hill and its occupants were vic- tims. The cyclone moved slightly north into Pike county. Missouri, and then ern Illinois. The ladies' seminary at ern Illinois. The ladies seminary at Drake in Green county, H., was stricken by the tornado. which then passed south and east, following the Illinois river until It joined the Mississippi, the greatest point of destruction being reached at St. Louis, East St. Louis and East Caronde- let.
 The direction of the windstorm from that cluster of stricken cities then ap- pears to have been in a southwesterly line through Illinois, but no news of de- struction has been received from Illinois towns east of the big river. The cyclone reached the Ohio river and struck Evans vile in the southwestern corner of h. diana. Later news indicates that the great storm is tearing a path through the heart of Indiana in a southeasterly direction.
 The latest reports compiled from the scene of destruction in three states point to the loss of oyer 700 human lives, and the probabilities are that later reports will swell the total death list to enormous proportions.
 According to reports received the death roll is divided as follows: In St. Louis, S0O East St. Louis, 300; Drake H., 80; Rush Hill, Mo-, 10; Rem nick, Mo, 5; Labbadie, Mo-, 10.
 The number of injured is estimated to be way up in the hundreds.
