PENNSY'S WORK
Railroad Plans to Spend
$4,000, 900 in New Con
struction Work.
TO BEGIN NEXT YEAR
MORE CARS AND LOCOMOTIVES
OF THE BEST PATTERN WILL
BE ADDED TO THE PLANT.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 27, 1906
Important new construction work on the
Pennsylvania Railroad east of Pittsburg
to be undertaken next year, and esti-
mated to cost $1s,000,0 900, will be recon-
mended to the board of directors of the
company by President Cassatt.
This is entirely apart from work all
ready authorized and now in hand, such
as the New York tunnel terminal, upon
which alone expenditure of $15,000,0
during 1906 is regarded as probable.
Construction of two additional tracks
from Trenton to Waverly in New Jersey,
forty-fve miles, as continuation of the
low-grade freight line to New York, at
a cost of $5,500,O00, is the second big
work projected. Two plans are being
considered -one an entirely new line to
the southeast of the present route, and
the other to build two additional tracks,
making six along the present New York
line. It is likely that the latter plan will
be adopted as the least expensive, al
though complete survey for new line
across New Jersey has been made.
Including the work done this year, es-
timated at SIT, 900, the last three
years has seen the expenditure of $685.
OOO, 600 on account of what was planned
in 1902, and for some other work taken
up since then. Increased cost of labor
and materials has apparently overrun
the original estimate of cost by quite
twenty per cent.
Notwithstanding the tremendous car
orders recently placed, the Pennsylvania
Railroad will require still more cars to
fill vacancies. Schedules showing just
how many, also the number of locomo-
tives, probably 300, and of passenger cars
to be built next year in the railroad shops
and new machines needed in those shops
are being prepared.

PEANUT SQUABBLE.

"A case of peculiar interest came up
before Judge Higgins in the First Grim
inal Court this morning. Two prominent
physicians, whose homes overlook Van
Worst Park. took issues as to whether an
Italian peanut vender should be allowed
to shove wagon, laden with peanuts
and equipped with roaster that whis-
ties, in the vicinity of the park. DR..
Loomis. of No. 2S2 Montgomery street,
had Peter Sperokalangy, of No. 261
Grand street, arrested for maintaining a
general nuisance with his whistling pea
nut stand on wheels.
DR.. Doherty appeared in court as a
witness for the defendant. He made an
eloquent defense for the Sperokalangy
(who, by the way, should have been fined
for bearing such a name). DR.. Doherty
pictured the delight of the children who
frequent the park at the sight of the pea
nut man and his whistling peanut laden
cart, and he told how many of the chil.
dren are given pennies by their parents
to purchase few of the appetizing nuts.
Justice Higgins listened attentively to
the controversy and finally discharged
Sperokalangy. Neither of the physicians
was mad. They left the courtroom on
good terms.

Montreal Express Dashes
Into a Local Train on the
Boston and Maine Railroad
HEAVY FOG RESPONSIBLE
TRAIN OF PULLAfANs PLOUGH
ED THROUGH THE LOCALS
REAR CAR, LEAVING DEATH
AND SUFFERING BEHIND.

[ BOSTON, Nov. 81, 19O5.-Twenty
bodies are in the Boston morgue. having
been brought to the city from Bakers
Bridge where the Montreal express
last night crashed into a lscals train on
the Fitchburg division of the Boston
and Maine Railroad. More than TWEEN
ty-fye injured have reached the city on
the relief special. The majority have
been taken to hospitals, but some f<w
not too severely injured have been
conveyed to their homes.
Eight unidentified bodies, five of which
were women.
The wreckage is still piled up at
Bakers Bridge, and it is thought there
may be few more bodies in the pile
of smouldering debris that marke all
that is left of the two rear coaches of
the local.
The accident is one of the worst that
ever occurred on the road. Fire added
its horrer to the telescoped cars, and
victims pinioned beneath the heavy
wreckage were burned to death before
the eyes of those endeavoring to rescue
them. Several of the bodies are badly
burned and a few have not been iden-
tilted.
The accident, it is said, was due to
the heavy fog which prevented the engi-
neer of the express train from seeing the
rear lights of the local. The trains left
Boston half an hour apart. The ac-
commodation train, made up of four day
coaches, left at 715 P. NJ, and the Mon
treal express followed thirty minutes
later.
Making all stops, the local had
reached aBker's Bridge, a small station
one and a half miles from Lincoln, and
was at IA standstill at s.15 o'clock. 1t
was known that the express was follow
ing. There was no curve, but the night
being dark when the stop was made,
the precaution of sending brakeman to
the rear was observed. He was carry
ing torch d own the track when
through the mist the headlight of the ex-
press showed up. Those on the plat
form knew nothing could save the local
and ran from the station, screaming to
the passengers to save themselves
The express, travelling fifty miles an
hour, was upon the local in less than
hah minute after the headlight was
seen. There was crash that could be
heard a mile as the heavy train of
Pulimans carrying two engines ploughed
its way through the rear car and tele-
scoped it, the greater part of it into the
one ahead.

the Bullfrog Country

Speaking of the completion of the
Southern Pacific railroad to Goldfield,
United States Senator Geo. :. Nixon
says:
at will bring the big Nevada mining
camps within easier access of San Fran
cisco and will bring practically all of
the business of the Nevada mines to
this city. This is quite as true Of Bull
frog as of Tonopah and Goldfeld.
Naturally it will be some little time
before Bullfrog is reached by railroad
although there is already considerable
talk by the Tonopah people regarding
the feasibility of building the seventy
five miles of road necessary to connect
Bullfrog with Goldfeld.
"At the present time quite little OF
Bullfrog's business is going to salt Lake
and Los Angeles by. the way Of Las
Vegas, the nearest point on the Clark
road.
"With the completion OF the road to
Goldfeld next month conditions will
change materially, and | expect to see
practically all of the business come this
way

COUNTY DIVISION
Opinions of Legislators ON an
Important Subject

In an interview Senator J. d. CAMP
bell of Phoebe expressed himself strong
lv against the removal OF the county
seat from Phoebe. He believes the time
not quite ripe for division of the county,
but admits it must come because of the
great distance of the south half from
Pioche Dr. Campbell predicts that the
present $2,0OO,OO0 valuation of Lincoln
county will double within the next two
years.
Ex-senator J. \. Denton of Caliente
says: In 1897 | introduced the resolu-
ton in the senate to submit the county
division question to the people and
would favor the same proposition agair
il the people desire it.
Following Is from Representative Il.
]. Shier of Caliente: At the present
time have not given the matter sutfi-
cient consideration to express an opinion.
In a long letter to The Age Hon. Frank
Williams OF Good Springs expresses him
self against county division. He fears
the court house debt will complicate
matters. In his opinion the north part
of the county would outvotc us on the
division question.
When Hon. George Whitney OF st.
Thomas. was in the legislature in 1898
he favored the division OF Lincoln coun-
tv, and the reasons in favor OF il are
stronger now than then. Hence we as
sumo that the settlements on the Lower
Muddy river would again favor division.
Lincoln county, Nevada, is as large as
New York state and Rhode Island could
be dropped out Of sight in Las Vegas
road district.
