terday afternoon, coming within an
ace Of shutting out Paducah entirely.
The crowd was one Of the largest at.
tending the series, and Paducah lost
because the boys could not bunch their
hits and keep down the errors. Six
errors went to her credit yesterday,
and the fans seemed TO lose heart at
the poor exhibition. Paducah blanked
for eight innings, the beautiful line
of goose eggs tapering of with one
lonely run, made by Perry 40 Girard' s
three bagger.
There was never time when Padu-
cab was in the game. Holycross was
too swift and mystifying for them to
do any good. They found him, but
only for easy flies, fouls and grounders
that were always we'll fielded. Nine
hits were made off Hedges, one Of
which became home run because the
ball went through a hole under the
fence. Wallace, Cairo's heavy hitter,
made a poor showing at the bat,
while Dummy Hughes redeemed his
poor batting Of the day before and
Tuesday, and is the one who hit for q
circuit of the bases.
The game is not given by innings
today. because-well, because we hate
to do it. All there is to it is that
Cairo played ball and Paducah didn't.
Girard's three-bagger brought in the
only run made. Cairo took three
straights and deserved them. As the
Paducah club now stands Cairo can
play all around her. The only thing

RAILWAY EMPLOYEES
FIGURES OF GOVERNMENT

FOR TRANSPORTATION LINES.

The recent number of the Railway
Age goes into the question of the
number of railway employees in the
United States, and by referring to the

factory answer. The figures submit.
ted are naturally a year old, rs they
are for the year ending June 80, 1902,
but nevertheless are accurate enough
for all purposes.
According to the figures referred to
the total number of railway employees
In this country on June 80, 1902, were
1.lS9. 1915, which on the total mileage
of 200, 1b4 reported, meant an average
of 54s employees for every 100 miles
of track. For the previous year the
number Of employees was 1911, 1876,
and the average 54s per 100 miles; so
that the fiscal year Of 1909 shows an
addition of lls, 146 employees and an
increase of 46 for each 100 miles Of
line.
The increase of railway mileage
since June 80, 1909, is believed to
have been fully as large as that of the
preceding twelve months, so that even
If the average number of men 20 the
mile has not increased, the total num-
Der of railway employees al this tim Q
is about 1, 1907, 900. 1t is probable that
the number per mile has increased
somewhat during the past prosperous
year, but it is to be remembered that
the averages fluctuate according to
the general industrial conditions, and
that in bad years the railroads have to
decrease their forces.

SINGER MANUFACTURING CON-
PANY BUYS $4,000 ACRES AR.
KANSAS LAND.
Said That it is Probable That the
Company May Erect Plant
on the Property.

One of the largest land transactions
recorded in Arkansas in several years
has just been consummated, says the
Little Rock Gazette. AS the result
the Singer Manufacturing company of
New Jersey becomes the owner of %
600 acres of fine timber lands in Poin-
sett county. The consideration was
1925, 900.
The vast tract acquired by the big
corporation is known as the Scatcherd
lands lying in the northern part of
Poinsett county. 1t is one of the fia-
est bodies Of timber land in Arkansas.
abounding in cottonwood and gum. 1t
is said that it is probable that the com,
pany will erect a mammoth plant on
the property.
1t is learned on reliable authority
that the company has been negotiating
for the purchase of about 10000 acres
in Poinsett and Cross counties, but
that so far it has acquired only the
Scatcherd tract. Good judges say that
the company has secured a bargain in
that acquisition, the price paid, about
$40 an acre. being deemed cheap, con-
sidering the splendid timber and the
good lands At the same time, it is
stated. Scatcherd and company bought
the 100000 acres about two years ago
for $10S,000, and that during their pos
session they sold cottonwood from the
tract to the amount of $4,000. Thus
their profit is something like $1S7 600
AS is we'll known the Singer Manu-
featuring company is one of the larg-
est corporations in existence. 1t will
utilize Arkansas timber for manufac-
turing purposes, the material entering
into the making of sewing machines.
Ultimately the lands will be put in cul-
tivation There is tramroad cn the
tract and it will be extended to Harris
burg Should the Singer people con
clude the other deals which are said
to be pending it will Own 10000 acres
Of as fine timber land in Arkansas as

SURPASs CIVIL WAR RECORD
Railroads of Pennsylvania Yearly Kill

Harrisburg, Dec. 29.-The casual
ties on the steam and street railways
operating in Pennsylvania during the
current fiscal year were greater than
the killed and wounded in the union
army in any of the great battles of the

The total number of fatal and non
fatal accidents on the steam railways
for the year was 23,207, while the cas-
ualtie5 on the street railway were 81
296, or total of 26,503.
The returns from the state bureau
of railways for the year shows a de-
crease in the fatal and non-fatal acct
dents as compared with last year of

OHIO LEADER SAYS HANNA WILL
SOON DECLARE HIM.
SELF.
Delay of the State Convention is Re
garded as Proof That Hanna
Will Be a Candidate.
ROOSEVELT'S FRIENDS SORE

Columbus, o., Dec. 29-The an
nouncement of Col j. B. Clngeman.
chairman of the Republican state COM
mittee that the date of the Republi-
can state convention has been chang
ed from April to May is significant
and is regarded by the friends Of the
admins tration as almost positive proof
that United States Senator Marcus
Hanna will be candidate for presi-
dent
The friends of President Roosevelt
here have been clamoring for an early
date, and they are up in arms over the
announcement of the chairman. They
don't hesitate to say that Hanna has
been toying with the president and
that the state committee is playing in
to the senator's hands.
On the other hand, the friends of
Senator Hanna are juDilant and say
that the late convention will be a
great advantage to them in getting
their forces ready. They also claim
that the presidents chances of being
nominated are, being weakened daily.
A special from Cleveland today
quotes Republican leader who holds
an important position in the party Or
ganization of the state" as follows:
Senator Hanna will be a candidate
for president and he will formally de-
clare himself as soon as the state CEN
tral committee meets in April and Sc
lects the date and place of holding the
state convention.
'It is as good as settled that the
convention will be held in Columbus
about the middle of May. | am sur
prised that the newspapers have not
got on to the conference held in Akron
on Wednesday night. December 23,
when Senator Hanna's plans were laid
before those present. There was great
rejoicing when it was learned that
Senator Hanna had finally consented
to become candidate for president.
Those who are supposed to have at
tended the Akron conference either
refuse to discuss it or deny all knowl-
edge OF any such meeting
