REMOVES GRADE CROSSINGS.
Pennsylvania Line Rapidly Elimi-
mating Dangers from Trains.

New York. Feb. Figures have been
compiled showing that during the past
six years 159 grade crossings have been
removed on the Pennsylvania Lines West
of Pittsburg OF these 105 were on the
Northwest system and fifty-four on the
Southwest system.
Those removed have been mainly within
the limits Of the larger cities, the idea
being to get rid of the most dangerous
grade crossings. OF those which still
remain By far the greater number are on
unimportant country roads where the
travel is inconsiderable.
Adding these figures TO the 56S grade
crossings removed on the lines east dur
ing the past six years shows that on the
Pennsylvania system as whole the
number Of grade crossings eliminated
during this period was 72S, fact which,
IL is believed, has added enormously to
the safety of its trains, and even more
greatly to the safety of those who have
heretofore had to cross the tracks at
grades.

been tampered with
Mr. Theban, the engineer representing
the city, and officers of the company
constructing the bridge made a close ex-
animation of the place where the span
had stood. after which the construction
people announced definitely that they be-
leved that the span had been caused to
fall by some one drawing bolts in the
supporting mechanism. Mr.. Theban said
that the circumstances were suspicious.
but that he could not make any charge
of willful mischief until he had made fur
