Fastest Trains in the World.

An English railway official, real
izing that British railways were
not up to the standard of the French
and American railways in the mat
ter of fast train service, compiled
for three of the most prominent
British companies, the Northeast
ern, North British and Great North
ern, table showing the speeds OF
the fastest scheduled trains in the
world, which, in the year 1899,
ran at the rate of more than fifty
FIVE miles All hour from start to
stop. A glance at the list shows
that the first four trains run be-
tween Philadelphia and Atlantic
City. When one visits his favorite
seaside resort he may feel confident
that on either the Reading or Penn
sylvania road he is being shot
through space at greater velocity
than he could be anywhere else on
the face of the earth. The speed
of these trains is SO great that some
of the English Directors refused to
believe the schedules, declaring it
impossible to move trains at such
speeds.

company. with Mr. StanIoru president
and Mr.. Huntington vice president. In
that capacity he went to Washington and
put through congress the bill authorz-
ing the construction of the road and CON
tributing bonds to help in the construc-
tion. The day the bill was signed he
telegraphed to his partners:
"The bill has passed, and we have
drawn the elephant" .
Before the charter could become avail
able the company had to raise $1,000 n
mile. This money Mr.. Huntington got
in this city at once by the use of his
wonderful credit. He and his compan-
ions then began the construction of the
road and completed with private capi-
tai enough mileage to make the federal
bonds available.
With this road as a nucleus Mr.. Hun
tington designed and built the entire
California system, which has now over
5000 miles of steel tracks He also built
an Atlantic system that. with the South
ern Pacific and Chesapeake and Ohio,
forms continuous line between Newport
News and San Francisco of 1000 miles.
Not satisfied with the conquest of a
continent, Mr. Huntington made his road
n world influence by extending it by
steamships from Newport News to Lon
don and from San Francisco to China.
The Huntington tomb in Woodawn
cemetery is probably the most splendid
private one in America 1t is said to
have cost more than 100000. 1t crowns
the crest of the hill and overlooks the
New York Central tracks and the beauti-
full Bronx valley. Although finished sew
eral years ago. it is tenantless. and the
body of the great designer of roads will
be the first to reposc in it.
Mr.. Huntington had one son, who is
about 80 years old and a noted student.
His first wife, who was Elizabeth Stod-
dard, daughter of n farmer and play
mate of his youth, died in 1888. She was
buried in Woodlawn cemetery, Roscoe
Conkllng and other celebrated men serv-
ing as pallbearers.
A year after her death Mr.. Huntington
astonished his friends by marrying again.
The ceremony was performed by Henry
Ward Beecher, the bride being Mrs. A.
d. Worsham, who survives him.
In addition to his other vast interests
Mr.. Huntington enjoyed the reputation
of being one OF the largest, if not the
largest, single landholders in this coun-
try. OF his entire real estate holdings
the property owned by him in cities was
only small part. He also held title to
large farming tracts as well as to vast
undeveloped areas in California, Ken
lucky and West Virginia and in Mexico
and Guatemala.
