In the passenger traffic the same
conditions prevail. Not only are the
coaches filed, but they are overcrowd-

Gent to carry the increased travel, and
every day, usually, train No. is run in
two sections. For the past few days
there have been extra trains going

this condition will remain for some

THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC
Coal Triples Are not a Success

The new coal tipples placed at diff
ferent points on the Southern Pacific
have been tried and have not proven
satisfactory. When the tipples were
tippled about q third of the coal went
into the tender, another third went
onto the ground and the remainder
stayed in the tipple.
Chief Engineer Clapp, of the Lords
burg division, is figuring on building a
flying bridge to connect the tipple and
the tender and greasing the inside of
the tipple 80 that the coal will float off,
and by these means hopes to get a load
of coal into the tender. He has not
recommended the adoption of this
style of tipple as standard for the
system.

president CLARK
OF the New Haven Electric Railway,
Endorses the Third Rail System.

Endorses the Third Rail System.
The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press Gays:
When the management OF the elevat-
ed.railway in this city.wasinvestigating
the various electrical apparatus and
methods of propelling cars they were
told that the third rail system was the
simplest, most economical and effective,
but that it had one feature which
might greatly impair its use In
crowded city like New York.
Other corporations, however. adopted
the third rail AMI it WAS applied to the
Brooklyn elevated system and has been
in use on some of the branch lines of
the New Haven system. The under
trolley in this city is really a third rail
system, the rail being submerged. The
New York elevated man agement watch
ed very closely this use of the third
rail by other corporations, and as day
after day passed without any accident
it became evident that the danger that
was said to Turk in this system had
been overstated.
A track walker on the Brooklyn
syste % fell in such manner as to esta-
blisb circuit between the third rail.
which his forehead touched, and one OF
the other rails, which his feet touched.
He was instantly killed, having re-
ceived the whole force of the electric
current that propels the Brooklyn ele-
waited system. No other fatsl accident
has occurred since the third rail was
adopted by this corporation, and the
corporation and the management feel
that it would be as reasonable to con-
denim q locomotive which, had it been
passing at the moment. would have
run over this man and killed him as to
condemn the third rail when It's use for
nearly year has been free from nc
cident.
President Clark, OF the New Haven
system, asserts that there is no more
danger from third rail than from
any other rail, since every sensible per-
son knows enough to keep away from
railroad track.
On Forty-secord Street in this city,
the Third Avenue Railway corpora
ton is installing an under trolley
plant. For short distance through
that street the undertrolley system of
the Metropolitan corporation has been
installed. 1t is necessary in order to
lay the new plan completely to expose
this brief section of the Metropolitan
Company's plant. Workmen are around
it in droves, so near that they have but
to stretch out their hands and they will
touch this subterranean third rail, !
which is charged with all the power |
necessary to draw the Metropo litan's |
cars. The street is thrOnged with |
teams and pedestrians. This third rail |
that is carrying an electric current
Of great power furnishes no
evidence to the eye of the deadly force
that is in it, and ople gather and
COX at it curiously as though wonder
ing whether, black and rusty and dirty
as it lie, it would deliver death-deal-
ng blow to apy one who simply touch
ID it with his finger
Some have confessed hideOus i'm

But of all the thousands who pass

When you arc convinced that a

stop it. When convinced that it is
unclean, stop it. When it lacks
enterprise, and fails to give you
the news, stop it. But don't stop a
paper that you believe to be honest,
courageous, cnterprising and clean,
simply because the editor has writ
ten his own sincere views, instead OF
your or somebody olse's; for if you
do you are putting premium on
