New York Railroad Report.

Albany, Jan. 10.-The annual report of the Railroad Commission, issued to- night, shows that the total number of persons killed on railroads in this State in 1904 was 952; injured. 1899. In 1903 SS4 were killed and 1,726 injured. The report attributes the increase in casu- alties to the greater number of trains operated; that improvements in road beds and equipment, which should have diminished the number of accidents, have been many. Only twelve of those killed and 446 of those injured in 1904 were passengers The average for the last five years is eighteen passengers killed and 349 injured.
 The net earnings of railroads in the State for the year were less by $311,47I than 1903. Expenses of operation were $24O.1S6.437; in 1903 they were s226,- 991,079. The report ascribes the in crease principally to the rise in wages, great cost of fuel for locomotives and the unusually severe winter of 19O3- 1904.
 Passengers carried within the State numbered 94.522,477, an increase of more than 5.0O0.O00 over 1903.
 Tons of freight carried in the State totalled lS4,OS1.71s in 1904. against .129,123,144 in 1908.
 Street railroads still have in their equipment 4,443 horses. but the number shows a decrease of over GOO since 1903

No One Was Injured, But Traffic on the Louisville and Nashville
 Was Blocked for Sev-

Local freight train No. 15 of the Mo- bil and Montgomery division of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, was wrecked yesterday morning near Leto- hatchle.
 The train in charge of Engineer Hrd- son and Conductor Horne left Mont gomery about 3 o'clock yesterday morning for Mobile, and near Leto- hatchie at o'clock, one of the cars in the train broke down. Several cars in the train were wrecked and com plete blockade of traffic for six hours resulted.
 Train No. 96, the local passenger train from Mobile, due in Montgomery at a. m., and train No. 2, the through passenger train from New Orleans due in Montgomery at 6:15 a. nl., were both caught on the south side of the wreck. They were boths something over four hours late getting to Montgomery, no material difference being made as to the local, that train having no connec- tions to meet in Montgomery. Train No. 2, however. brings Pullman car and coach from New Orleans, which Is delivered to the Western Railway here. the Western and Southern taking them to New York and the East.
 The delay caused the Western train due to leaye here at 6;55 o'clock getting out four hours late.
 No one was hurt in the freight wreck and beyond the delay to traffic no dam- age was done.

 Something entirely new and original is promised to the lovers of melo- drama. The love story in the play Is wonderfully life-like and natural and just powerful enough to hold its own against the strong under-current of genuine comedy which carries the au- dience from tears to laughter with each succeeding wave of sentiment and humor The company Is adequate and the stage settings unusually elaborate and beautiful. The unique sensation of witnessing the tremendous crash between two monster locomotives in a head-on collision is similar to that of seeing The Midnight Express, a fifty foot train of locomotives and cars, dash out across the stage in the fourth act.
