REMEMBERED ALL
FREIGHT CARS
''PennSy" Completes the
Gigantic Task Started
Two Years Ago

More than a quarter OF a million freight
and passenger cans on the Pennsylvania
system have been repainted and renum-
bered and It has been announced that the
gigantic task which was started nearly
two years ago has been completed. II is
expected that there viii now be none
OF the confusion which has brought grief
to the Pensnylvanla's car record office and
car accounts OF other roads. Troubles
arose from the fact that nearly every one
Of the companies that so TO make up that
system had its own car numbers. In ad-
dition to this the similarity OF the legends
Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania Company
often caused one name 20 be used when
the other should have been.
During the summer of 1906 committee
was appointed TO have charge Of the re-
numbering and rcpainting Of all freight
and passenger cars. Each of the lesser
companies included in tho system was as
signed a series of consecutive numbers.
this series being further divided TO in
dicate kind, class and capacity OF car.
The result is that the number alone win
tell all there is about a car 20 know, as
Il can be Identified by reference to the
official list To get the new numerals on
the cars was a very intricate and complex
Job.
Agents in the various districts were sup.
piled with list Of the old and new NUM-
bers. and when n car bearing the old num-
ber came into their territory they had It
sent TO the shops, where It was repainted
and remembered.

increase being in gold certificates and
gold coin.
The most noticeable transactions OF
the Treasury during the asst fiscal
year have been the dealing with de-
pository banks and the manner of dis
posing of accommodating revenues, For

revenues over expenditures. the deposit
OF lawful nroneF in excess OF nationai-
bank notes redeemed, together with

SOCIETIES CAN'T
AGREE ON NAME

SOIidate Because OF II

Disagreement over the name . of the
proposed new society. it is said, is the
reason the expected consolidation of
the Sons of Delaware and the Della
ware Society has not taken place. a
year ago it was freely predicted that
they would be reunited. but B. A.
Hazel of the Sons Of Delaware, yes
terday, in Philadelphia. admitted that
the prospects for a consolidation Of the
two bodies were not bright.
Organized in 1892. the Sons of Della
ware split in 1899. and the seceders
formed the Delaware Society. An an
nual reunion and dinner of the Della
wareans is the CHIEF object of both
sides. and frequently these gatherings
are held on the same night, and in one
hotel. Last year. when both societies
dined in the Bellevue-Stratford, separ-
ated only by a wall, it was prophesiel
that a union would be effected by this
year.
Negotiations for the union went
swimmingly until the question of a
name came up Both societies are
satisfied with their. respective titles
and neither will hear of a change. The
Sons Of Delaware will dine alone in the
Bellevue -Stratford on Saturday night,
and their brethren of the other name,
viii meet tomorrow night.
