was made to wreck Erie passenger
train No. 6 at a point mile and a
half east of Alden. This Is the Erie's

Sullivan's crossing. The tracks are
laid on a deep fill over long ravine
and at a point in the middle OF the
curve heavy forty.foot rail was
placed across the eastbound track
and bolstered up by huge stones. The
train was composed Of Pullman sleep
ing cars and heavy day coaches and
could not have been going more than
twenty-five or thirty miles an hour
when the headlight showed the rail
lying directly across the tracks. Engt
neer Wolfe shut off steam and applied
the emergency brakes. An instant
later the locomotive struck the rail.
One rock being smaller than the one
on the opposite side the loose rail
was showed over AMI thrown into the
ditch. The engine pilot was smashed

MELLEN At ITS HEAD
Gigantic Railroad Combination In
Process Of Perfection.
CAPITALIZED AT A BILLION

Northern Point of the Atlantic Coast
to the Gulf and Will include the
Pennsylvania Road.
Chicago, May 28.-A dispatch to the
Inter Ocean from Washington says:
While the eyes of the whole country
have been centered on e. H. Harri-
man as the master manipulation or
the railroad world a greater and more
extensive combination of railroad In
terests has been in process OF perfec-
ton, until now the plans are matured
for the public declaration Of this gigan-
tic merger.
More than a thousand million dol
lars Of capital are involved and the
mileage OF fle new system will extend
practically from the most northern
point of the Atlantic coast to the Gulf
ports, with q network Of tracks grid
roning New England, the East and
Middle West and tapping the greatest
freight producing territory In the
world.
This colossal merger, when perfect
ed, will be known as the Greater Penn
sylvania system. 1t will embrace
practically all the railroad mileage In
New England, together with the pres
ent Pennsylvania lines east and west
of Pittsburg, with through connec-
tions to New Orleans and Mobile. on
the Gulf.
Canal Keystone OF System.
Instead OF projecting a transcon'
tfnental line from ocean to ocean the
keystone Of the new system will be
the Panama canal. Traversing as II
does the most congested sections OF
the United States and reaching every
great industrial and manufacturing
center east of the Mississippi 1t Will
afford an outlet to the products OF this
vast section to all the ports OF the
Atlantic north Of the Potomac and
also give them direct route to the
Orient via the Gulf and the new 18TH
mian canal when completed. Charles
8 Mellen Is credited with being the
master mind that conceived this vast
project. although 1t is understood that
this consolidation was under consid-
GRAFTON before the death of the late A.
J. Cassatt, president Of the Pennsyl
vania. Mellen, 1t Is said, will be at
the head Of the new corporation.
Mellen and his associates in this
great project feel assured, according
to the best information at their COM
mand, that there will be no opposition
to or criticism of their venture on the
part of the administration, as no COM
peting parallel lines will be merged
except in the case Of a few unimpor-
tant branches.
