AN UNPARALLELED RECORD.
1t would be difficult to find anywhere
in the development of industrial affairs
a parallel where there has been such
marvellous advance all along the lines
of commerce as is indicated by the fig
ures showing the increases, as above
stated, during the year.
Indeed, viewing these matters from
any point desired, this great common
carrier system, in all that pertains to
transportation, is the most formidable
one in the world.
In the perfection of facilities, COM
forts, conveniences, promptitude of ser
vice. reasonablenes of charges, our
railroads are par excellence. So, too,
may it be said that there is no terri
tory in these United States or else
where in which there exist such Won
derfuI and almost limitless lines Of in
dustries and such inexhaustible mate
rial interests as are found along these
great highways of commerce, these
transportation lines that make up the
railroad system of the State OF Penn

unassailable and irrefutabIe evidence
of the prosperity of the industries To-
Gated along the great arteries of the
commerce of this Pennsylvania system
of transportation. The favorable con-
ditions which exist among the miners.
the mechanics, the bankers, the profess

and laborers of all classificatlons are
seen also in the increase of all the sal
lent features, financial operations and
business transactions of this great
common carrier system. For increase
of business in the way of transporta-
ton means that the conditions of all
business enterprises are favorable.

The compiled report of the Bureau of
Railways of the Department of Inter
nal Affairs for the year ending June
80. 1908, covers the operation and ffnan-
ciaI condition of 14S operating steam
railway, 16S subsidiary steam railway,
81 operating telegraph and telephone,
u subsidiary telegraph and telephone,
100 operating street railway and 100
subsidiary street railway corporations.
In addition to these there are 191 steam
railway, 494 street railway and IA
telegraph and telephone corporations
whose lines have not yet been con-
structed.
Compiling the reports from all these
railroad corporations, and considering
them as representing one railroad sys-
tenn in Pennsylvania, we present fig
ures which exhibit the marvellous mag
nitude of this common carrier system
that conducts the transportation Of
persons and commodities within the
State of Pennsylvania and the territory
adjacent thereto.
The combined amount of liabilities
of the several corporations which are
factors in this great transportation
system are as follows: Capital stock
outstanding, $1.67S. .S26,362; funded in
debtedness. 1,533, ,65S,571; other forms of
indebtedness, $685. ,740, 399, or a total

PASSENGERS AND FREIGHT.

There have been carried during the
year 26o 118, 7sI passengers, which being
reduced to a mileage basis is an equiVa-
lent Of having carried 6,469,371. .275 per-
sons one mile.
OF freight, the number of tons car
ried as products of agriculture was
SO, 913.410; products of animals, 1o,656,-

manufactures, 105 161, 904; merchandise,
1928, 160 miscellaneous shipments. 3O.-
o99 ,624, or a total tonnage of 566, 1S9, $50.
This tonnage, reduced to a single mile
basis, is equivalent to having carried
81 SIP 663, ,391 tons one mile. These fig
ures indicate the immensity of the pro-
ductions of this State in a most re-
markable manner
The carrying of passengers has pro-
duced an income of s146 759 ,653; freight
earnings, s433, ,672,57S; other earnings
from operation, $11,9SS, 353, or a total
earnings from operation of 1892, 420, 5S4.

STEAM RAILWAY MILEAGE.

The magnitude of, this great trans
portation system is again exhibited in
the combined total mileage of the sew
eral railways of making this system,
which is more than sufficient TO en-
circle the earth, being 2S.352.32 miles,
II 45 miles of which are within the
limits of PENNSYLVANIA.
The capacity for moving the almost
Iirnitless products along the lines of
this transportation system is seen in
the fact that in this transportation
service there are 1851 locomotives,
.I1.S42 passenger cars. 601,714 freight
cars and 16,803 cars devoted solely to
the use of the transportation comua-
-nies. The total number of cars is
63O,359.
The handling of this equipment and
the conducting of the business of this
system have given employment TO 419,-
5S1 persons, an industrial army of
bread winners. all engaged in the con-
struction, maintenance and operation
of transportation corporations, to
whom there was paid during the year
covered by this report, s254, 1885.
Another evidence of the great service
rendered by transportation corpora
tions is found in the figures showing
the train mileage by passenger and
freight trains. the former being 49,,
092, AL; freight trains, 155, ,456094 miles,
and mixed trains, 3,SS6,54 miles, or
total train mileage of 277,SS5,054.

Sheepshead Bay Track Record Broken
 -Fayorite Was Third.

-Favorite Was Third.
 New York, July 3.-Before crowd of 3O,OOO, J. B. Haggin's Waterboy, with Odum up, won the Suburban re- newal, worth $12.OOO, at Sheepshead Bay yesterday. The black son of Watercress broke the track record for the mile and quarter by covering the distance in 2:O4 3-5, which is two fifths of a second faster than the pre- vious record made by the mighty Sal vator in 1890. The Brooklyn handi- cap winner, Irish Lad, was second, and W. c. Whitney's Goldsmith, the fayorite was bad third.
 Blues showed the way around the first turn and into the back stretch, with Irish Lad second. Going down the back stretch, Blues opened gap of two lengths on Irish Lad with Wa terboy right at the latter's heels. The favorite was running in fifth position. and Irish Lad were running like a team. At the mile and an eighth pole Burns went to the whip and although the 3-year-old responded gamely, he was never able to head Waterboy, who gradually drew away and won by a length. Irish Lad was second, seven lengths in front of Goldsmith. The fractional time of the race was as fol- lows: 12 1-5, 24, 36, 4S 1-5, LOO 3-5, 1:13, 1:26, :39 Is, 1:52, 2:O4 3-5.

Caldwell's time was 6:56 4-5 The previous state record was 7:25, made by Bikes. Caldwell beat Law son in the first heat, and Lawson took the second from Joe Nelson Oscar Hedstrom won the two mile motor race easily, defeating Carl Ruden and Jed Newkirk.
 The three-cornered 2O-mile race be- tween Stinson, iMunroe and De Guich- ard at the Providence Coliseum last night was won by the latter, who made the distance in 28:17 4-5. Stinson led for Il miles and was picked to win but the front tire of his wheel went wrong and his motor became cranky at the same time. He kept on until picked up by another machine, and took second money. being two miles behind when De Guichard finished Munroe was never in the running and appeared unable to follow his pace

MORRISSEY PAYS BILL.
Assumes Expense of George Harring-
 tons Lawsuit

tons LaWSulT.
 Since the opening of the season Manager Morrissey has been of the opinon that the Norwich baseball club should settle the bill of Officer Richard Cornell, who has been subject to en- barrassments, expense and a lawsuit as 8 result of his ordering Manager Harrington of the Waterbury team out of the press box last August. Last years management refused to pay it and the city also turned it down. Consequently there has been no regu- lar police protection on the grounds this season, and the game has suffered materially, some of the fans refusing to attend as regularly as formerly. Of ficer Cornell refused benefit which Manager Morrissey offered him, con- tending that putting Harrington off the grounds on the order of the umpire and Captain Tighe that either the club or the state league was responsible for the debt, which sould be paid in a reg ular way.
 Last week Manager Morrissey told the officer that he should pay the bill if he had to do it t-personalIy and after the team returned from New Haven last evening, he kept his word, hand ing Officer Cornell the amount asked for and getting his receipt in full- NoriWch Record sx

POLO GROUND FIREWORKS.

Lightning, Wind an Rain. Stop the
 Game and Create Much Fear.
 New York, July 3.-When the torrid atmosphere was reeking with moist ure yesterday afternoon storm that was half tornado, half cloudburst swept over the city. The storm ap- preached from the northwest, and as 1t rolled along its inky clouds, low, floating. wind-driven, obscured the day.
 The storms fullest force was felt at the Polo grounds, where the New York and St Louis clubs were to play. It was 2:3O p. m., the Giants had ap- peared on the field for practice, about LOGO persons were in the grand stand and bleachers, when the wind sudden ly and tremendously increased in force, picked up the dust, twirled it in blind ing spirals and hung it like muddy veil over the grounds.
 Immediately forked lightning, which seemed dangerously near, played in ev- cry direction through the blue-black clouds; an exhibition of mighty fire works that will not be eQualled to. morrow. The first stroke of lightning burned out most of the telephones in the neighborhood and terribly fright ened women, children and timid men.
 Then the rain poured down in such great volume that the grounds were flooded in few minutes. It was inn possible to find shelter. Driven in great sheets, the rain hurled through the grand stand, which trembled and rocked under the storms force. The lightning struck an advertising fence near by on Eighth avenue and 150 feet of timber were cut into kind ling wood and toothpicks in the quick est time on record.
 The temperature dropped so quickly that in ten minutes hail fell and hail. stones big as mans thslmbnail soon covered all Harlem. The surface cars and "L' trains were delayed and crowded to suffocation, the passengers refusing to alight and every one who could sought refuge in the cars from the singing hail. Of course, the game was not played.

MAY ENJoIN ELBERFELD.
New York National League Clubs At
 torneysl PreparIng Papers.


 torneys Preparing Papers.
 Baseball harmony received another jolt yesterday and Elberfeld the short stop of the New York Americans, may be restrained from playing. This is the latest chapter in baseball history growing out of the playing of George Davis with the New York Nationals.
 The New York National leagues at torneys yesterday were preparing the papers for an application to the su- preme court for an Injunction to re strain Elberfeld from playing.
 1t is thought the reported contem- plated action of the Chicago American league club, which contends that Davis belongs to it and 1t alone, had bear. ing on the move yesterday of the or ganization headed by J. T. Brush.
 The New York Americans are due to play in New York tomorrow. They are at present incapacitated by an in jury to Third Baseman Conroy, but have been playing fast ball of late 1T the west When President Pullian of the National league said Davis could play with the New Yorks it was on the ground that the American league broke the spirit of the peace agreement by allowing Elberfeld to go to the New York Americans. but while the Ameri can league presents a solid front in de claring that it was entirely within thu bounds of the peace agreement for El berfeld to join Grifith's team, the Ma tiona1 league is by no means unanf nous in the belief that it was proper for Davis to play with McGraw'' team.
 The latest move complicates matters strains the already weakened amicalbl, elations and the situation altogeth,sl is sweet mess
