The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Eae
! railway has placed orders for thirty-twO
passenger and among the devices
stipulated to be used on these cars is the
Pintsch gas lighting system. This is of
| considerable interest, in view of the fact
| that no road has permitted so mnny ex-
periments with various systems of elec-
| trio ear lightning as has the Atehison.
! The fact of the Pintsch light being used
on the new cars suggests a belief in the
| reliability and practicabiIity of the COM
pressed gas system. When these cars
are in service, the Atchi ison will then
have LOG of the Pintsch light system.

Robert Lawrence and Charles Moody
will be the two porters. This second
section of L and will be continued so
long as the great rush continues, and
from present appearances and with tile
exposition at Buffalo and other conven-
tions, the trains may continue during the
summer months.
