less machinery was needed. By putting into
the central station storage batteries or suncieht
capacity, the power plant could be proportloheu
to the average requirements of the day, rather
than the maximum. When the load" was light
the dynamos could pump their surplus into the
accumulators and when the load was heaVy
the latter would supplement the work of the
generators. The service TO which the New-York
Central viii put the equipment here referred
to will be of different character, as might be
surmised from the fact that the batteries viii
be outside OF the central station instead of In
side. reserve of power will thus be created
and maintained, to tide over irregularities In
the activity of the dynamos Against the possi-
bility Of delay in the movement of trains or of
awkward interruptions in the lighting of them
substantial guarantee will be afforded. In
London and some other foreign cities a provi-
sion of this kind is made compulsory. That the
New-York Central adopts the idea voluntarily is
one of many evidences which the public is get
ting of the progressive spirit which dominates
that corporation.
When the purpose and value of power reser-
voirs as a part of a great electric traction sys-
tenn are once perceived, surprise will be felt
that they are not more generally employed. AL
ready the patrons of the subway in this city are
asking why the Interborough company did not
place similar reinforcements along that trans
portation route. Up to the present time most
of the accidents which have delayed traffic have
occurred on the line. But suppose it became
necessary to make repairs at the power house
how would the company deal with the emer-
geney! Again from one cause or another the
lights In subway trains have occasionally been
extnguished for few minutes Something more

sions are excited. The Interborough company

are the circumstances in which he now is and
he is not exaggerating the case when he says
his position is extremely dangerous. It speaks
much for his andomitable courage that he does
not say outright it is hopeless
The position Of the two armies is not made
entirely plain by the dispatches but its gen

from the mountains at the east to the Chinese
line ar the west and have attacked the Rus
slams at all points. How close to Moukden they
have advanced at the centre is not revealed.
But the ominous fact is disclosed that at each
wing they have pushed north Of the latitude
Of Moukden, and are threatening to close in
upon the fianks and rear of that city, and to
north. The japanese have entered Hsin- Min
Tun, we are told. That place is about forty-ffYe
miles west and FIVE miles north of Moukden.
They are alse, according TO General Kuropat-
kim making furious attacks upon San-I.in- -Pou,

With these points as the extremities of an
arc. the centre is probably not many miles
south Of MOukden. If at either wing the Rus
slams should be crushed and japanese force
should push across 10 the north OF Mcukden
and cut the railroad, it is difficult TO see how
even the resourceful Kuropatkin could save his
army from utter ruin.
There need be no wondering how the Japan
csc have been able to do this. As we have
hitherto pointed out, the Russian army has
received no reinforcements for two months
and IS thus considerably weaker than 1t wa;

THE COLLISION AT ELLSWORTH.

Fatal railway accidents like that which oc-
clrred little west of Pittsburg FRIDAY evening
GRO ca common in this country that they create
little astonishment The newspaper reader looks
over the dispatches relative to these tragedies
with momentary eagerness, in order TO ascertain
whether any of his personal friends nave Oeen
injured experiences some curiosity as TO the
number of lives that have been sacrificed, but
takes the rest of the story for granted. When.
as in the present instance. fire plays part In
the horror he feels an extra pulse of sympathy
and Indignation, but he accepts both the event
and the certainty of repetition as inevitable
Though the United States has done more than
Europe TO devise comforts and convenlences ana
safety in travel. the slaughter of passengers
and employees goes on with strange persis-
tency. and with n frequency not surpassed, II
it is equalled, abroad.
This particular accident belonged to the all
too familiar class the rear-end collision. Two
sections of the same train-fOr practical pur-
poses two separate trains-were involved. Both
were bound in the same direction. The first
section was obliged TO stop on account of hot
box and the second ran into it, completely
wrecking two cars. Not more than six or seven
persons were killed Immediately but a number
of those who were removed from the wreck are
likely to die The death roll may eventually con-
tain dozen names, perhaps a score. Yet all of
if some one had not failed to do his duty when
the foremost section of the train came to a
standstill A brakeman ought to have gone
back to warn the engineer of the following Sec
ton. Moreover If the road on which the disas-
ter happened was equipped with modern sig
mailing apparatus, the same object should have
been attained either automatically or by the In
terventi0n Of q tower operator. To a blunder
of such an employe the collision is now attrlb-
uted, probably with justice, but it is doubtful IL
the public hears anything more about the cause
There is an equally poor prospect that the Of
fender will be so punished that his fate will
sternly discourage similar carelessness on the
part of other employees.
One detail Of the accident is noteworthy. Pull
man coaches are 50 much heavier and stronger
than ordinary railway cars that they will often
Withstand shock that would wreck the rest
of a train completely. It would appear from
the dispatches that there is q limit to the
stanchness Of even a Pullman coach That two
such vehicles should be smashed by a blow
from a missile weighing hundreds of tons and
moving forty miles an hour is not wonderful
but an occasional exception does not upset a.
rule The stOuter cars of train certainly give
better assurance Of immunity to the passen-
ger than those which are more fragile
