A BROKEN RAIL.
The wreck was caused by a broken
rail. The train was running at a high
rate of speed, required by the schedule.
and the locomotive and several cars
were badly damaged.
A wrecking crew was sent to the
scene and physicians We're summoned
from the nearby towns. The injured
were removed from the wreck and Civ
EN- as prompt attention as the circum-
stances would permit. Ambulances
were called from the Homeopathic, the
Mercy and the West Penn hospitals
and were at the Smithfield street sta
ton ready to receive the injured who
We're brought here. The cold weather
caused much suffering to the injured
and to those who aided I'm their remov-
al.
The train was composed of q bag
gage car, two day coaches and a Pull
man car. All were vestibuled cars and
it was one Of the best trains on the
road.
1t Is presumed that the broken rail
was one Of the effects of the extreme
cold
The train left Cleveland at Ills a.
m. and ran on time to Youngstown. At
that point two hours were lost and
the train ran on a siding near Fleming
Park to let another train pass. In run
ming off the switch the rail broke and
the locomotive was thrown from the
track and turned over on it's side. The
tender ran on for several hundred
yards before the air brakes took effect.

The report of the Lehigh Valley Rail-
road company for the year 1898 shows
that the road carried during that per-
iod 11574, ,S35 tons of coal, the average
haul being 11572 miles, and the tom
mileage 1899. .d26 3S3. The average re-
ceipt on this coal traffic was 0G30 cent
per ton-mile. or 50 per cent. higher
than the average rate on general
freight, which was 0.406 per ton-milc.
OF the tonnage reported l,34S,56S tons
and 100, ,al9,43i ton-milcs were of btu
minous coal. The report does not give
the rates on hituminous coal separate
ly. but assuming, as can be done with
a margin of safety, that they were not
higher than those on general freight,
the rate or anthracite would be 0.649
cent per ton-mile, including the coal
carried for the companys own use.
The average cost per ton-mile on all
freights--coal is not stated separately
was Obs cent per ton-mile As the
transportation of coal, which is moved
usually in full trains at low rate Of
speed, certainly costs much less than
the average, the profit on all coal was
more than O.314 cert per ton-mile: on
anthracite more than 0.339 cent. One
third of a cent per ton-mile, or 3S5
cents ton, does not look like an ex.
travagant profit, but it Is much high
CT surplus than the most prosperous
railroads in the country-the Pennsyl-
vania or the New York Central. for in
stance-can show on their freight traf-
tiC earnings.
COST OR A RAILWAY COACH.
Recently an up-to-dae luxuriously
furnished passenger car was turned
out of the shops at Altoona to be put
into regular service at a cost of almost
