RETURNING SANITY

The New York Central lines
have taken the initiative, among
the eastern railroads. in reducing
the running time of its fastest
train between New York and Chi
, cago. One hour and half has
been added to the running time
OF its Twentieth Century Limited.
II Is indeed to be hoped that
this may be taken as an indication
of returning sanity upon the part
of the eastern roads. For years
there has existed great rivalry
between competing lines to reduce
the running time between New
York and Chicago. Each line has
tried to beat all others by few
minutes and the result has been
a great risk to the safety OF pas
sengers as shown in the horrible
wreck which occurred at Mentor
Ohio. not many months ago. fol-

of the city, and there search is
being made for the bodies.
The fight Is supposed to have tax

the train had passed that town, a
badly battered tramp made his way
Ito the caboose, and told the crew he

that he had escaped just In time to
lavoid a fate similar to that which
he claimed his two comrades had
met. He told the crew wnere to
find the men and sank to the floor
