CARRYING THE LARGEST TONNAGE
OF ANY TINE IN ITS HISTORY.
Big Four OniciaIs Anxious Lest Au-
of Same Months of

On Saturday the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne &
Chicago road carried the heaviest business
in the history of the line. There was not an
idle bit of motive power, and train crews
worked hard and overtime. When the Sun
day c~learing-up began on the eastern divi-
sion there were Accommodations that tested
the capacity OF all the big yards between
Crestline and P~ittsburg. Thousands of
loaded freight cars were on the road. The
big Conway yards, with a capacity of $500
cars. were crowded. The Alliance. Canton
and Crestline yards were also substantially
full. Besides the extra business coming to
the road, a shortage OF motive power has
been responsible for the accommodations. Ten
new moguls were received for use on the
Fort Wayne from the Altoona shops. These
locomotives are among the largest ever
turned out of the Altoona shops and the
ten received by the Fort Wayne are under
stood to be loaned so as to relieve the i'm
mense movement of freight. The big move
ment on the Fort Wayne, on Sunday, was
also felt by other divisions. To avoid need
hold cars given them as long as they wish,
the Panhandle has assigned some OF its men
to the duty of watching these cars and TO
hurry their loading and unloading. 1t Is a
new position. temporary, perhaps, occa-
stoned by the shortage of cars. and those
doing the work are expected to facilitate
things and to relieve the work of train
masters and freight agents. Railroad man
ayers have sent out numerous circulars TO
freight men urging that this plan be
watched carefully. On some of the roads the
lost-car man, whose duties include those OF
the new positions on the Panhandle, has
been a regular employee. The rush on the
West Pennsylvania in freight has caused
every piece Of reserve motive power TO be
pressed into service. On Saturday three
new class III 81 locomotives were pressed
into service. These are big freight engines,
being the largest of the Pennsylvania a
short time ago. when they were known as
Glass "R." The Fort Wayne road, last
week. carried 1873 per cent. Of the east
bound tonnage out of Chicago, leading all
other roads.

The Western Passenger Association Is in
the midst of another crisis, a crisis which
may result in its dissolution. Unless the st.
Paul line can be induced to return to the
fold 1t Is predicted the members of the or
ganization will ignore the rate-maintaining
principles of the association and offer COM
petition to that line and the roads which
never have been identified with the associa-
ton. Members of the association, who are
meeting In Chicago this week, believe that
a preservation of rates will be an impossi-
bility unless the st. Paul line re-estab-
fishes It's membership. The C~hicago-St. Paul
lines met yesterday for the purpose of de-
vising some means whereby the st. Paul
can be induced to re-enter the ASSOCIATION.
The matter was left unsettled and the rep
resentative of one line expressed himself as
having but little hope that IL would be sat-
isfactorily settled at this meeting of the as
ISOLATION. The threatened collapse OF the
association may be avoided If all the OUT
side lines become members Of the organiza-
ton. The Milwaukee & ST. Paul. the strong
line without the fold, agreed TO come into
the organization. provided the Wisconsin
Central, Great Western and Minneapolis
& ST. Louis lines do likewise. When this
proposition was submitted the Great West
ern voted to agree. subject 20 approval Of
the president, as did the wisconsin Central
representative. and the vote of the Mime
apolis & st. Louis was withheld.

Danbuiy, Conn. Oct. 5.-One Of the
features at the Danbury fair yesterday
was balloon ascension by Miss Miss
laura Hasbrook. young woman OF
Newark, Del. She made the ascension
clinging to a trapeze, which swung
from a parachute attached TO the bal
loon.
She expected TO cut the parachute
from the balloon at the height OF a
thousand feet, but was unable to use
her knife. She was carried to the
height Of mile, and then the balloon
driited toward Danbury, two miles
away, with the helpless woman ap-
pearing a mere speck to the observers.
