cluded in the time lost were delays to
passenger trains waiting for Lehigh Val
ley connections at South Bethlehem. and
through Baltimore and Ohio trains
These trains were frequently several
hours late at the point of connection
with the Reading and much of the time
lost was occasioned in that manner. The
time gained represents time made uu
where trains left the terminals behind
their schedules and recovered il before

All the railroads increased their ton

of the Pennsylvania and the Central
Railroad OF New Jersey. which fell be-
hind the 1901 tonnage. The Erie ton
mage as compared with 1901, shows the

PLUNGED EIGHTY FEET
FROM STEEPLE INTO PIT
Every Bone in Body of
Young Workman Broken.
PoLICEMAN'S HEROIC FEAT
Had Himself Lowered by Rope, and
After Hours Work Brought
Dying Man Up.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. Zone of the
most daring and heroic feats ever ac-
complished by Philadelphia policeman
was executed by Patrol Sergeant James
Preston. when he rescued Samuel Levy
from the bottom of an eighty-foot pit
at the German Lutheran Church on
FRANKLIN Street, below Pine. For nearly
an hour the brave policeman was sus-
pended in mid-air over the pit, holding
himself to the rope with one hand. while
with the other he held fast to the I'M
conscious lad. stroug-armed workmen
from a scaffold at the top pulled the
two up inch by inch until they were
safely landed.
Life Almost Fled.
Young Levy was scarcely breathing
when the top was reached, but his life
was saved for a while at least. He
had plunged headlong from the steepie
of the church into the pit. which is
formed by a wall built close I'D to the
pulpit wall and was originally eonst r,,ct-
ed to prevent sound in the church
Every bone in his body was broken
Blood was gushing from scores OF
wounds and broken bones protruded
through his clothes.
Sergeant Treston says that dozens ~
times the awful spectacle came near
making him lose his grip on the rome
Several times he was blinded By dizzi-
ness. but he grimly held on. while police
men and workmen at the TOP tuyped
away coolly and kept yelling words OF
cheer to the brave Treston.
Pit Black as Night.
From the pit there was no way of exit
except at the top. In the bottom the
ar was sitting and it was as black as
night. Levy's fall had stirred up a zrea,
cloud Of dust that had been gathering
IN the pits depth for years and nade
II almost impossible to breathe.
Levy, who is seventeen years old b,s
peen employed as a helper to J. p l<ev-
ser a sheetiron worker. They were re-
placing ventilator in the church
steeple when the accident happened
foung Levy was stepping across a mar.
row plank when he made a misstep and
plunged into the pit.

must have been killed outright. bur tbe
