The Mum Der Of Inoendiary Fires Regulates

1895. 1920 900, 600. At the same time the
value Of material property subject 10

total fire losses paid by insurance have
been decreasing for the last four years
in the same ratio. In 1893 they were slO5

and their strict enforcement. an average

difference being because OF the greater
risk in the Western State through the
operations of incendlaries. This has led
TO the organization OF the Property

pose IS 10 secure reduction in premium
rates through the suppression OF incen-
diarism. In Massachusetts, the office OF

only seventeen convictions for incendiar-
ism. although the number OF incendiaTy
fires was ITO. In 1896 there were only
635 OF such fires. while the percentage
OF convictions 10 arrests was So Though
the rule is not universal. II may be said
generally that the fires OF incendiary
origin are more damaging than those
which arise from accident or neglect.
The reason OF this Is 10 be found IN
the fact that incendiary fires are start
ed usually az night or IN the carly morn
ing when they have chance 10 spread.
Il is popularity supposed that the pro-
portion OF incendiaary fires 10 the total

counties IN which there are laws against
incendiarism, and such laws are vigo-
rously enforced. the fire risks OF rhe
companies are very much reduced and
the premiums charged are more mod

city. for instance. there has been steady
reduction in insurance rates and rebates,
and there are indications OF like re-
duction in Brooklyn. There are $50 fire
insurance companies in the United states.

train was standing in the station. NJ
ten O'Clock the start was made,
Al FIRST there was no intention OF

agreed 10 pay the road a dollar mile

This carried 40 guarantee regarding time.

Tie train making so much better time
than was expected. at the majority or
the division points where stops were
made TO change engines there was hardly
more time 10 get the new engines ready
than there had been at Chicago.
Those who have Travelled between
Chicago and Denver Will appreciate the
rapidity with which this train was bowi-
cd along by the fact that twenly-one
stons were made between the two cities,
and that these stops occupied -FOUR MN
ufcs more than an hour. This does not
include practical stops made al railway
crossings az each Of which from three TO
four minutes was lost. The actual time

OTHER FAST RUNS.
A short time ago Rev. Charles Z
Herbert. Of Genoa, y. y. was engaged
TO preach nj Southold. l.. !. Pursuant
% his promise, Mr.. Herbert started FOR
New YORK. from Genoa but his train was
delayed by an accident. and when he
reached Long Island city on Saturday
night, he was just four minutes too LATE
TO catch the last train for Southold Mr..
Herbert related bis tale OF woe 20 super.
iutendent Potter. OF the Long Island
Railroad il was discovered that a the
aire train would journey as FAR towards
Southoi that night as Ronkonkoma. but
this would leave the divine a. miles from
Southold. The Superintendent. however,
instructed the engineer 10 take Mr..
Herbert aboard the engine a. the END
OF his run and TRANSPORT him 10 ms
longed-for destination. This IL exactly
what was done. and what is more. the
distance from Ronkonkoma TO South
old. 80 miles, was covered in just A. min
utos. the quickest journey 10 spread the
Gospel on record.
The most recent Of fast runs between
notable points was made by A special
train in the service Of New York news
paper on the afternoon of March 4th.
Inauguration Day, from Washington 10
New York The total running time Of this
train. including delays. was four hours
and twenty-four minutes. The actual
time consumed, deducting delays was
o. nj 60
Superintendent Of the New Jersey divis-,
ion OF the Pennsylvania Railroad. this
running time would have been cut down
10 al least three hours and forty min
utes, but owing 10 his action, through an
inexplicable alleged misunderstanding Of
orders. the train was forced TO consume
an hour and five minutes between Prince
ton Junction and Jersey City.
This train. on a number OF occasions
came within two seconds OF the fastest
mile ever made by a railroad train max
ing an average run OF ten miles I'm nve
minutes and forty seconds. This was ac-
cOmplished. moreover on Inauguration
Day. when the tracks Of the Pennsyva-
mia were occupied by many more trains
than usual. There was no effort TO make
any fixed time the intention being 20
reach New York from Washington al the
earliest possible moment.
The cost Of hiring u special train de-
ponds altogether upon the length OF the
run, the number Of passengers carried.
and the time IL is desired TO make. The
scale runs between 81 and $50 a mile
I'm the aggregate. u may be that suTn
a train Will cost what the two hired by
the millionaires named In the beginning
OF this article paid. or it may be that the
rate will be no greater for 80 persons in
the aggregate. At the minimum. trav-
cling BY special train Is n costly proceed
ing for others than railroad officials
When Il comes 20 making time. how
ever. the special is without rival.
