morning of blood poisoning, contracted
from bee sting. The deceased at the

SHOTS EXCHANGED
IN RIOT AT NINE
State Troopers and Strikers in
Fight Near WiIkes-BarTe.

Wilkes-Barre Pa. May 25.-During

ed by shots fired by the troopers and
carried off by their friends.
Knowing that, following the action
of the Cancellation board ordering the
mine workers to return to work. the
coal company officials would make an
effort to operate No. IA mine, strikers
picketed all the roads and paths lead
ing to the mine during the night, and
frequently fred at the troopers and
other guards at the mine, but at too
great a range to do any damage.
It was during the night that Ber-
nadi and Sesto were shot on roads
near the mine, and it is believed they
were mistaken for workers by the
men doing picket duty. At working
time some men tried to get to the
mine. but were run off or beaten by
the picketers, who were reinforced by
several hundred men. women and
boys. The women were particularly
daring and vicious in their attacks.

Facts About the Penna. Railroad.

sylvania Railroad system show that IN
1908 and 1909 its various lines carried a
total of 299, 762, 65s passengers on its
"a, 600 miles of track and only one pas
senger was killed as result of train
wreck. In other words, the chance of
q passenger losing his life in an accident
on the Pennsylvania Railroad System
was one out of about 3OO,OO0,O00.
In 1909 the number of passengers car
ried by the Pennsylvania Railroad Sys-
tenn was 15S, 057, lis. This was an in
crease of IL SIS per cent. over the AL.
So, 543 carried in 1908. The number of
passengers carried one mile on the
PennsyIvania System in 1908 and 1909
was lilo, 56S, 517, so that for each mile
travelled over the system the chance of
being killed was one in more than seven
billion.
One passenger was killed as a result
of train wreck in 1909, while none was
killed in 1908. In the two years $40
passengers were injured in train wrecks.
There were two less passenger collisions
and Is less freight collisions in 1909
than in 1908, while the number of freight
derailments was smaller by SO.
This record of the Pennsylvania is all
the more remarkable as its business is
heavier than that of any other railroad
of the country, which necessarily means
that it operates more trains than any
other railroad and at the same time en-
joys an accident record which has not
been equaled by any of the lines oper-
ating the same mileage.
The passenger trains on the Pennsyl-
vania System in the past two years have
travelled 11S, 4O7 ,31S miles. In other
words, if one train had gone this dis
lance it would have made about 5000
trips around the world, and with but
one death resulting from train acct
dent. The freight trains operated by
the Pennsylvania System in the two
years travelled approximately 125, zoo, 900
miles.
