Cutting off Miles by Hours.
New York worEl


To abolish a curve near Philadel
phia, to change a few grades in III
Allegheny mountains, to put il
a stone bridge at Trenton and L
cut out grade-crossings in Newarl
the Pennsylvania railroad laid on
more than S., 900, 900 few year
ago.
Compared with the tunnel anC
terminal work now going on 70
the same road in New York thes,
expenditures were trifling. Never
theless, millions count, even il
small lots. Some return for the
investment came back yesterday
when two new Pennsylvania trains,
one running each way, brought
New York and Chicago within less
than eighteen hours of each other.
We can make the run in sixteen
hours, said the genral passenger
agent sor the western division,
after the train coming east arrived
and he looks fer the early appear
ance of the sixteen hour train on
the regular road schedule. But
the expediting of cross-country
railway travel is not to stop with
Chicago as the western limit of
extra-speed territory. On the
Pacific roads too there have been
easing of grades and Strengthening
Of curves. These operations were
in full swing three years ago, when
managers confidently predicted the
early coming of the eighty-four
train from Atlantic coast.
The Pennsylvania offers on long
link for the chain of traDscontinen-
tai rapid transit; the New York
Central is about to forge another.
1t is like unfolding of a fairy
tale, this railway development of
lightning speed. Only, instead of
a magic lamp to rub when wishing
elsewhere, we have magic
of steel. One of these
engths, by the way, a full sized
-ail, weighs a full ton; in extra
lie a ton and a half. Peter
cooper's Tom Thumb locomotive,
devised in 1880, weighed just as
much as one of these ton rails.
The express locomotive St. Louis,
he largest in the world at present,

iplications in weight on rail and
Wheel are the modern miracles of
peed made possible.

no DISSENTING OPINION
New Jersey Judge Who
IssuedInjunction Affecting
717,300 Shares Is Reversed

WASHINGTON. March e.DThe Su-
preme Court Of the United States to-
day affirmed the decision Of the Circuit
Court OF Appeals for the Third Dis
trict in the case of Hartman VS.. the
Northern Securities Company, involv-
ing the distribution OF the shares in
Northern Securities Company. The de-
cision is favorable to the company.
The decision OF the court was an
nounced by Chief Justice Fuller. He
delivered no written opinion, but said
that one would be filed later There
was no dissenting opinion. The de-
cree Of the Circuit Court Of Appeals.
which was affirmed to-day, merely re-
verseo the decree Of the Circuit Court
for the District of New Jersey. The
latter court issued an injunction re-
straining the Securities Company from
transferring or distributing 1880
shares OF common stock Of the North
ern Pacific Railway Company acquired
by the Securities Company in the mer
ger OF the Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern roads. This decree
was overruled by the Circuit Court Of
Appeals sitting in Philadelphia, and
to-day's verdict sustains the reversing
decision. The Court Of Appeals held,
in effect, that the Securities Company
had become the absolute legal and
equitable owner Of the stock Of the
railroad company and that the ques-
ton Of ownership had not been in
volved or even incidentally passed
upon by the Supreme Court of the

DEMENTED BOY
STAYS MOTHER
MOrtalIy Wounds Father
at the Home of Parents
in a New Jersey Town
Special Dispatch to The call.

NEW YORK, March 6.-Richard
Wakeman, twenty-one years old, the
demented son of John and Augusta
Wakeman of Bloomfield avenue, Glen
ridge, n. j., attacked his parents this
afternoon. His mother died in Noun
tainside Hospital where his father
lies, probably mortally hurt.
The young man first attacked his
mother with a hatchet, cutting her
head, and then went into the base
ment, where he drew a revolver and
fired at his father. One bullet lodged
in the fathers head above the left
the third imbedded itself in the back
of his head. The boy was in the act
of firing fourth bullet, when the
father who is a cripple, raised his
crutch and struck his son on the wrist
in an attempt to knock the revolver
out of his hand, but in so doing broke
the crutch.
Prior TO attacking his father the
young man, who had been in the rear
yard, entered the house and asked his
father where his mother was.
She is up stairs said the father
"She is not feeling very well and is
resting"
Richard then went up the stairs
leading from the basement to the
second floor and walking into the
room seized a hatchet which he had
hidden behind door and struck his
mother two violent blows on the head.
Her cries attracted her husband but
before he could get up the stairs the
maniac had met him and fired the
shots.
Mr.. Wakeman called for help and
his cries were responded to by Percy
Jacobus, a neighbor. When Jacobus
entered the house Wakeman stood at
the foot Of the stairs. In the mean
time the son had left the house and
in a few minutes Wakeman, despite
his injuries, had crawled up the stairs
and was beside his dying wife.
At the approach of Jacobus the
maniac fired a shot from his revolver
at him, the bullet just missing his
head. Jacobus, fearing death, ran
down the street in search of a police
man.
Wakeman and his wife, who was
Augusta Wakeman before her marri-
age, were cousins. The son was born
with brain trouble.
