Railways and Trumps.

The Pennsylvania Railroad caused the
arrest Of more than 1LC00 trespassers
last year. Nevertheless, the dangerous
evil persists. In ten years 47.4S track
invaders were killed These were not all
tramps. the total including many workmen
and wives and children living near the line.
There stl remains the indifference Of 10
cal magistrates. Again, a farmers grange
In Pennsylvania has passed resolutions
against forcing tramps from the railway
tracks. The farmers are pestered and
their wives are often terrified. II would
seem that railways and local magistrates
should reach some agreement. The cost
OF eXpelling train riders and trAmps
from the right OF way might be made a
State charge, instead Of being made a
burden upon local communities. More
severe punishment would then follow IN
time the railway tracks IN this country
may be as well guarded against intrusion
as they are in Great Britain. At present
the evils and the killings increase.
