The usual large audience which al

TRAMPs CAUSE BIG LOSS.
Pennsylvania Road Suffered TO Ex-
tent of a48G, 600 I'm Last Year.

New York. April 12.-That the Pennsyl-
vania Roalroad lost $4,000 last year By
thefts by tramps is shown IN figures just
made public rs show the seriousness Of
the problem the railroads OF the country
face in dealing with trespassers. The
sum was paid out in 1867 in claims for
losses traced 20 thefts.
According 90 these figures on the tramp
nuisance, 4,l56 arrests for trespassing
and Illegal train riding were made on
the Pennsylvania right of way ard ih6
men were arrested for larceny. At the
same time 500 men were killed or died
from injuries received while in the act
of tTespassing.
The railroads Of the country are about
TO take concerted action looking 10 an
abatement Of the tramp nuisance. and it
is TO be one Of the important matters TO
be taken up at the next annual joint
meeting Of the State railroad commits
sion. According to the railroad officials.
local authorities often refuse to make
arrests at all. whereas If the State and
county authorities would cooperate With
the railroads the railroad tramps would
quickly decrease IN numbers.
The New York and Chicago Railroad
Managers Association have taken up the
matter. and an attempt is 10 be made to
enlist the support of the authorities in
suppressing the evil, which the railroads
contend is the backbone Of all vagrancy,

FIND NEW USES FOR STEEL.

PittsbuTg. April 12.-Because OF the fall
ing of in demand for standard shapes Of
steel. the Carnegie Steel Company has
its engineers and statesmen working 10
find other outlets for their products to
keep mills busy
Thus the aTmor plate department, which
has almost been knocked out Of business
by the few ships being built. and by
competition from the Midvale steel Com
pany in cutting the price. has been turned
to making armor plate for bank vaults.
Forty Of these vaults have been built to
date. and there is more money In this
class Of work than profit in making armor
for warships.
The Bethlehem Steel Company has re-
tired entirely from the armOr plate bust
ness.
One Of the coming uses for steel which
the Carnegie Company is pushing strong
is that of steel sheet piing.
One OF the invasions Of steel, largely
brought about by the Carnegie Steel Com
pany, is that Of using steel for mine sup
ports.

knowledge Of racing and his popularity
