The Automatic CouDIer.

There is an invention. said local SUI
perintendent, as freight train backed up
to couple on more cars, the cars being
equipped with automatic couplers, that is
not appreciated. After all the roads con-
form to the interstate-commerce law in
equipping their freight as well as passen-
ger cars with automatic couplers, there
should be a law passed that switchman
or trainman who was injured when coup
ling cars could not recover damages on &C
count of any injury he might receive"
Just then the two parts of the train came
together and the trainman simply looked
to see if the two parts We're coupled, not
going between the cars. Said the Superin-
tendent: I'm the years L have been in rail
road service more men have been crippled
up by going between cars to couple them
than in any other line of railroad work,
but when the automatic coupler is used by
all roads such accidents should be UNI
known, there will be no necessity for
the train man to go between the cars. In
case there is anything wrong with the
coupler it can be adjusted before the train
is coupled, doing away with any danger

that with that company there has been a
decided improvement in business, and it
now has more work on hand than at any
time in the last two years, principally re-
pair work. The company is repairing three
hundred of the cars of the Commerce Dis
patch which have been leased to the Ar
buckle Coffee Company. The exterior Of the
cars will be painted in a very attractive
style. These cars are being fitted to carry
$4,000 pounds. The works are also repair
ing and repainting in artistic style one hun
dred for the Indiana Brewing Company and
seventy-five for the Indianapolis hominy
mills, the latter being leased from the Big
-Four. These, it is claimed, will be the most
extensively painted cars run in the coun-
try. They are painted an orange color, bear
the name of the mills and on the door, and
each side a very handsome and significant
trade mark. Superintendent McAlpine says

The strong demand for and steady ad-
vance in Pennsylvania Railroad stock has
been commented upon as being somewhat
remarkable. 1t merely indicates that people
seeking permanent and sure-paying invest
ments-people who ordinarily confine their
investments to high-class bonds-have been
forced by the high price of the latter to
turn to the more reliable dividend payers
among railroad stocks. 1t should not be for
gotten, moreover, that the current high
price Of Pennsylvania was passed during
the tight money period of 1895, when in
September of that year it reached STA, the
dividend rate then being the same as now
Without any increase in the rate which
has prevailed since 1894, the stock at 60

orally known that on no road in the coun-
try has such a rigorous yet judicious policy
of retrenchment been pursued during the
period of depression as on the Pennsylva-
MIA. The road is in magnificent physical
shape to take advantage of the dawning
era of prosperity. and its friends will be
greatly disappointed If it shall not in the
near future return to its old-time dividend

Rates for Merchants.

The Western roads have enlarged the
territory from which they will run excur-
slons into Chicago for the conventions Of
the Merchants Association in Chicago. An
nouncement was made yesterday that the
rates will he extended to include all points
in Colorado and Utah. This virtually takes
in all of the territory east of the Rocky
mountains. The Western roads fought
low rates for these conventions when they
were first asked to do so, but now having
once broken the ice they seem willing to
extend the rates to all parts of their terri
tory. In extending the rates to Colorado
and Utah points the announcement is made
that any point in the territory of the West
ern Passenger Association can have the
same rates upon making application in the
form and manner in which it has been
made by the Merchants Association.

Scramble for G. A. r.. Business.

The trouble among the Western roads
over rates to the Grand Army encampment
at Buffalo is on the increase. The chief
cause of the Generalization seems to be
in the use of tourist sleeping cars, which
some of the roads are granting as con-
cession. 1t was hoped for time that the
trouble would be confined to the Chicago
st. Paul lines but the Union Pacific has
announced low rates from Denver for the
encampment, and this brings into the fight
all of the territory east of the Rocky
mountains. The Western roads which were
DESTROYS of keeping the trouble out of their
territory are feeling rather warm over the
action of the Union Pacific, but there is
no help for them. and there will now be a
general scramble for the business.
