Science in Moving Army of Patrons on Series Oh
Trains Running Every Day in the Year.

I passengers was not quite 70 cents each,
but some of them did not ride very far
for the 70 cents, which went into the
average pile.
The large army of travellers, IL each
had only ridden one mile, would have
strung out over 87,908,l12 miles, or
distance many times greater than
the circumference of the earth.
The system made money on its pas
senger service, however, at the rate OF
cents a mile.
1t naturally requires that things
keep moving over system of l,oOO
miles of road if the revenue is to be
made and the passengers hauled in
comfort. The passenger locomotives
got over the rails at the rate OF 2, 760,-
$50 miles a year, and there were no
Nancy Hanks performers among them,
either. This was an increased per-
Torrance of over 22l, 900 miles over
last year. The freight engines got in
about 2, 755, 900 miles.
The Central railway paid to its engi-
neers and firemen for the year 1885,,
O5O.64. The wages of these men in
creased with the added earnings.
They made 1894 more in 19O2-O3
than gin 19Ol.O2. The engineers are
paid by the number of miles run, as
are some of the fremen. The increase
in earnings for the year was more
than enough to pay the salary of
the president of the United States.
1t cost slightly more than II cents .

system.

make interesting reading. Newspaper
readers are always interested IN the
railroads anyway. The movements OF
officials, the changes in schedules OF
Grains entering and leaving city, the
wrecks on a system-these are all
items eagerly read by patrons OF the
press.
There is scarcely less interest in tg'
Gres showing the operation OF big
system for year. The report OF Aud
ator w. D. Beymar of the Central rail-
way for the fiscal year ending June 80
last, for instance, presents some en-
pertaining features In facts and fig
ares,
It is big job to move an army OF
patrons on series of trains running
every day in the year and not Kill
about half of those who pay their fare;
1t is more than big job, it is sci
euce.
The Central railroad during the last
fiscal year handled quarter OF a mil

state of Georgia, and accidents were
few. During the year under review
revenue was collected from $780, |

MoRToN's SALTY TALK.
Testifies Before the Interstate Com
 merce Commission.


 Chicago, May 2o.-Joy Morton. Presi- dent of the International Salt Company. today declared before the Interstate Commerce Commission that the attack which was making on his company was solely an attempt on the part of Detroit salt interests to secure the aid or the Government in throttling the salt indus try of Chicago.
 The hearing was a continuation Of the case brought against the railroads call ing in question the division of through rate allowed the Michigan. Indiana and Illinois Transportation Company for car- rying salt from Manistee and Ludington to Chicago, destined to Missouri River points, the allegegation being that 1t amounted to a rebate paid to the salt trust which controls the transportation company At the concluison of his testi- mony, he arose and dramatically drew from his pocket a prospectus of the Mich igan Rock Salt Company. This company, he asserted, was projecting by the com planning witnesses, J. N. Mulkey of De- troit, who was trying to use the commis- sion to aid in floating t6o0,oO0 worth of preferred and g, 100000 worth of common stock.
 Further attack was made on Mulkey' s motive in an attempt to show that he had sold out his salt interests to the trust on two occasions and was trying to do the same again.

Terms of Settlement.

The terms of the settlement of the Mo bile and Ohio strike are understood to be. although neither the strike leaders nor railroad officials will disclose anything, that the companys figure of 71a per cent increase in wages Is accepted. The men had demanded 15 per cent. That the use of double-headers shall continue, trains to be limited, some say to forty cars, oth- CTS to forty-two cars. That strikers shall be reinstated without prejudice in their old positions where same are not now filled.
 An unusual scene tonight was a caller of the Mobile and Ohio. mounted on a horse riding up and down the main streets in search of members of the old switch and train crews to go back to work. The word had been passed to them to go back tomorrow night but in order to move perishable and other goods their services were called upon twenty-four hours earlier.
 There was universal qualification in all parts of the city over the settlement of the strike anrd especially among busi- ness people There was no demonstration on the part of the members of the organi- cations interested.
 Vice Grand Master Dodd of the Broth erheod of Railway Trainmen will make an address in Temperance Hall at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

RECEIVER IN CHARGE
PORTER BROTHERS COMPANY IN DIFFICULTY.
The Concern Does An Immense Busi- ness Handling the Fruit Crops and the Liabilities May Reach
 $3, 900 ,oOo.

San Francisco, May N.-Thn commer cial community here was startled today by the Information received from Chicago that the Porter Brothers Company, which handles a great part of the fruit crop of the State. had been placed in the hands of a receiver.
 This unexpected action was taken by the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, and, accord ing to the news given out in the city, was forced by the demands of bankers on the firm at a time when a good part of it's funds are in the hands of fruit growers.
 The receiver appointed Is Henry l.. Will son of Chicago, and in telegraphic com munication to Thomas H. Lynch anr Charles B. Bills, local agents Of the com pany, he has designated them as tenn porarl receivers in this city to act as his representatives until the anairs or the corporation are strengthened out.
 The Porter Brothers Company is one Of the largest houses in the country dealing with growers of fresh fruit and the pro- ducers of dry products of orchards and yineyards It has branches in New York, Boston, Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Paul, San Francisco and agencies in all fruit producing sections of the country, no less than fifty being located in California. All of the various managers and agents have been telegraphed to by Receiver Wilson to conduct the business in his name for the present, as he assumed its full management.
 The amount of the company's liabilities are not known here, but it is assumed by those in position. to make an estimate that they may run into the millions.
 In his message to the San Francisco managers. Receiver Wilson stated that the assets would exceed the liabilities and that the embarrassment of the firm would only be temporary. At the local office of Porter Brothers. it was announced that immediate payments of several heavy notes precipitated the failure.
 ''It is probable" said Mir. Bills. the local manager, that the banks pressed their claims without giving the Chicago office sufficient notice. In other words. the Chicago office was caught short. No doubt the company has sufficient money to pay all its creditors, but lacked time in which to get it together"
 Another statement Is that the appoint ment of a receiver was the outcome of a suit in the United States Circuit Court. One estimate places the possible liabili- ties at s. 000, 600.

Proceedings Begun in Secret.

Chicago. May 20-Bankruptcy proceed ings against the Porter Brothers Com- pany, one of the largest fruit commission houses in the country, were begun se- cretly in the United States District Court yesterday and today 1t became known that receivers had taken charge of the companys affairs
 John McLaren, former Vice-President of the Union National Bank, and Henry l.. Wilson, lawyer, were directed by Judge Kohlsaat to take charge of the assets of the corporation. This was done on appli- cation of several creditors who allege that the concern was insolvent and that its officers had made preferential payments.
 Until the return of James s. Watson, President of the Porter coropration, the receivers do not expect to find out much about the financial condition of the com pany. President Watson is expected to arrive in Chicago tomorrow. Attorneys De Frees, Brace and Ritter, who repre- sent the receivers, said that they could not estimate the liabilities or assets of the concern. It Is said to be probable, how ever. that the debts will prove to be larger than the assets, which are worth from $1 100000 to $2,00O,O00
 The corporation was capitalized for $1. GOO, ,O0O and had high financial rating.
 The petition in the local court was files by Leonard B. Weed, Benjamin F. Smith and Thomas F. Beaven, whose claims ag- gregate $500.
