MORE CARS USED
Business of Railroads Press
es $4,000 More in
Service.
r EASONS ARE GIVEN

New York, June 1O.-A decrease Of
over $1,000 in tho number Of idle
freight cars during the latter half Of
May is shown in the fortnightly report
of the American Railway association,
Just issued but dated May % On
that date there were 3S1, 119 idle
freight cars against 4O4,375 on May
13. the date of the previous report.
This makes the second consecutive de-
crease in idle cars, the previous report
having shown a reduction Of about
5000 cars from the maximum of 413.-
1888 reached on April 29.-This latest
decrease was due to the transfer Of at
least 40 per cent, or about 5000 idle
cars, to the shop list, indicating that
the railroads have begun to repair a
large number Of idle freight cars But
II is not to be Inferred that the actual
increase in traffic has been sufficient
to require the use Of these cars. A
further large part of the decrease is
explained by the fact that the gradual
resumption of bituminOuS coal mining
has called back into service good
many coal cars which were made idle
by the suspension Of work c few
months ago. The number of idle box
cars did not vary materially during
the last half of May.

EXCITING RUNAWAY
NEAR ECONOMY
GEORGE Cox Has a Narrow ES-
cape From Injury.

Economy, Ind. June 10.-Afcr an
exciting runaway about a field and
through a woods, George Cox escaped
injury although the experience was
one he does not care to have repeat
ed. Mr.. Cox had hitched a team OF
young horses to roller and soon af-
terward the excitement began. One
of the animals had never borne har-
ness before, he became frantic. Mr..
Cox had endeavored to start the
horses near the edge of the woods.
When the team started running Mr..
Cox was unable to keep it from plung-
ing wildly into the woods. The
horses raced about lodging trees but
finally collided with a pile OF rocks,
after Mr.. Cox had broken one rein in
his effort to stop the horses. He was
hurled from his seat but was unin-
jured The horses were stripped Of
their harness and the roller reduced
to splinters.

No need to doctor the stomach.
