short cuts along the railroad tracks.
The degree in which the death list
along such routes is growing is said
to be appalling. A statement by. the
Pennsylvania agent says:
THE Pennsylvania railroad, which,
for a number of years, has maintained
what is perhaps the best organized
railroad policing system in the coun-
try, is redoubling its efforts to keep
trespassers from its right of way.
"A recent circular on this subject
published by that company gives sta
tistics of casualties which are horrible
to contemplate In the last eleven
years more than $4,000 people in the
United States have been killed while
trespassing on railroad property, and
more than $4,000 others have been in
iured During the same period of
eleven years the number of people
killed on the tracks of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad was 1872, or in round
numbers 5000, an average of 725 per
cent.
Three years ago, as readers will
recall, the road inaugurated a vigor-
GUS campaign against trespassers, but
/ the number of trespassers killed in
/ 1908 was 757 and in 1909, 1872. oI
about two each day throughout the
year, Notwithstanding that 10000 were
arrested during the year 1909. The
average number of trespassers killed
on railroads throughout the country
is fifteen per day"

FIRE LICKS UP
HISTORIC Mill

The Richardson Flour Mills, on the
Newport Turnpike, near Richardson
Park, were destroyed by fire of un-
known origin on Saturday afternoon.
The mills were operated by A. H..
Scarborough, of No. 600 West Twenty
second street, this city. The loss of
the mill. which was owned by Joseph
s. Richardson, is about $4,000, and
the loss to the lessee is about $4OO.
The mills wore built in 1857.
The fire had gotten beyond control
of workmen at the mill when the Re
lance Fire Company. of this city, was
asked for assistance. The Reliance
auto engine made the fire within four
minutes, but the flames had gained
such headway that it was impossible
to save the place. The Reliance hose
was found too short to reach the fire
from the nearest source of water, and
the Union Fire Company was called

DELAWARE ON
ANOTHER TRIAL
Big BattIeShip to Steam 1000
Knots on Final
Trip

WASHINGTON. Aug. s-The big
battleship Delaware, sister ship to the
Dreadnought North Dakota, slipped
out of the harbor at Newport, r. L.,
Saturday night, and is now somewhere
on the North Atlantic steaming on her
final trials, and testing all her equip
ment for her final acceptance by the
Government. She probably will
steam a thousand knots before return
ing to port
The contract speed of the big fight
er was q knots, which she exceeded
In her preliminary trials. On the
| final test she must make a certain
/ speed under forced draught for four
/ hours continuously. Her turret
machinery and armament also will be
tested.
The Delaware, which was built at
Newport News, Va, is rated at 20
000-ton ship, but actually displaces
$4,000 tons and her engines develop
$4,000 estimated horse power. Captain
Charles A. Gobe is in command.

Pennsylvania Road Proposes
to Save Lives by Pre-

COMPANY SENDS OUT
SPECIAL AGENT TO INSTRUCT

Fifteen persons are killed every day
because Of lax methods of State, coun-
ty. town, and city authorities.
In the last eleven years $4,000 have
been killed and $4,000 injured beca
of this laxity.
The Pennsylvania railroad has sent
a special agent on tour to bring TO
public attention the great loss Of
life, SO much OF which is prevent
able.
1t is claimed that the majority of
railroad fatalities occur on double
track lines With only one track, q
train may be heard approaching and
the trespasser be able to jump clear
With two or more tracks the tres
passer is said TO have even chances
of stepping from in front Of one ap
preaching train into the path OF an
other.
Another prevalent habit in towns
with factories near railroad tracks II
for employees of these places to taxi
