REMEMBERING THE
P. R. R. FREIGHT CARS
How the Series Will Run When the
Great Task Has Been
Completed.

For a task combining multiplicity
of detail with simplicity of plan, the
REMEMBERING of the cars of the Penn
sylvania Railroad system, east and
west, is probably as shining an exam
pie as could be found. The numbers
are classified so as to run as high as
'999, 999. Nearly 100, 600 of the
freight cars east of Pittsburg have
already been changed, and the work
is progressing in this way.
Nearly 100, 900 a r on the lines
east of Pittsburg, have been renum-
bered, and probably more than hall
the equipmenton lines west of Pitts
burg. The Pennsylvania Railroad
lines east of Pittsburg take the num-
bers from IL ,001 to 100000 and the
lines west of Pittsburg from 10000
to 500, 999. The numbers below TO-
600 are reserved for passenger equip
ment. and when all cars have been
remembered there will be no dupli-
ate numbers of any ownership or
Perth Amboy evening news., 1906-08-31
sub-ownership either east or west of

sub-ownership either east or west of
Pittsburg.
In REMEMBERING, all cars of the
same dimensions, capacity and kind
are grouped together, SO that when
the work is completed, if the kind,
size and capacity be needed it can
be found in the Official Railway
Equipment Register" without having
to inquire of the owners for the in
formation or to examine the car. The
new numbers, arranged in groups,
are already shown in the Register.
At present all cars above 1O0,5O1
are being remembered the numbers
from 1O,OO1 to 100,501 being re
served for box cars. AS soon assthere
are gotten out of the series all of
these other kinds of cars between l
and 100, 500, the box cars will Fbe
remembered and reclassified.
The ears on the lines east Of Pitts
burg and Erie when painted and re
numbered will bear the word f"Pepn-
sylvania" over the car number on the
side, and "P. r. r." over the car
number on the ends; but If the re-
numbering is done before the car is
| r%epainted, it will bear the present
| ownership initials until such time as
it goes to the paint shop. as,

Few men are there who have had

him now to talk of the past, pleasant

farm, which was about two miles
from Railway, near what is now call
ed 'Demorest,' nearly 5000 pear
trees, largely of the Bartlett variety.
My farm included about fifty acres,

it would take several years for my
trees to mature, however, SO | kept
right on at work on the stage. 1t was
very fortunate that | did.
For a while the farm p~rospered
wonderfully. 1t was nearly three
years before encouragement came,
and all that time we had been COM
ing to feel more and more secure,
but then little by little came misfor-
tune. 1t was the blight that made us
give up finally, though the introduce
ton of California fruit on the New
York market had a great effect in
cutting down our profits. The sour
sap blight and the fire blight were
the worst. Why, sometimes | would
come down in the morning and find a
tree that had been apparently per-
fectly healthy the previous night
looking as if it had been struck by
lightning. Finally, all our plans fell
through. I had hoped to retire from
the stage on what | made by my fruit
farm, but before many years had
passed | found that it took all | could
make on the stage to support the
farm. | maintained the trees for
many years at a positive loss because
| loved the place so, and hoted to
give it up and acknowledge my de-
feat, though the latter was less hard
to bear"
A Strenuous Blizzard Experience.
Many Of the experience of his long
career have passed from his mind
now, but there is one that is etched
particularly sharply upon Mr.. Stod-
darts memory. During the eighties
the actor still maintained his farm,
committing to New York. In 1888
came the terrible blizzard. Mr.. Stod-
darts experience in it shows well the
indomitable will that made his stage
successes possible after bitter de-
feats.

of DR.. Harper during the last months
of his life that the way could be clear

bring this about it will be necessary to
alter the constitution of the university,

be the president. President Roosevelt

taken through the baggage room under
the general waiting room in the union
station and hastily placed in a carriage
and hustled off to the prison. Ten po-
lieemen were sent to the station to keep

corted the woman to the carriage. Mrs.

The prison officials are firm in the
belief that Mrs. Chadwick is Madame

with the clerk the following entry was
made in the book at the prison:

animation if it is found she is able she
will be put to washing or heavy work.

COUNTY TAKES snow WAGONS.
Levies on sells 8 Downs Parapher-

A tax warrant was issued this morn
ing by County Treasurer Bowen against
Sells & Downs and placed IN the hands
of Sheriff Lucas for execution. Sells &
Downs wintered their show here last
winter and the taxes due are for the
personal property belonging to them,
and which the proprietors of the show
failed to pay before the show left its
winter quarters.
When the show opened last spring
they did not take All of their possessions
with them. several Of the wagons and
considerable other paraphernalia being
stored at different parts of the city. 1t
was the attempt to ship this property
south where the show is advertised to
be sold at auction which prompted the
action Of county officials this morning.
There is about $500 personal tax due
from the firm and the county officials
hope to find sufficient property TO secure
the payment of the debt without being
compelled to attach an elephant. for

county already has enough elephants
on its hands,"
