RAILWAY NOTES.

The Hartman lines are figuring on
from 1900 to 10000 freight cars for deliv-
cry during the coming summer.
No railroad in the world, it is asserted
has a water system equal to that of the
FL Paso & Southwestern in the NogaI Of
New Mexico. 1t comprises a pine line of
80 miles, and a reservoir with a capacity
of 450,000000 gallons. Pure water became
so great a necessity for the locomotives
of the company, their boilers being eaten
up so fast by the alkah water that the
expense of renewals was terrific The
water is piped from mountains to the
reservoir and then to the railroad SO miles
beyond The installation of the system
cost 81 900. 900, but it will paw for itself il
the saving from expense for new boilers.

SINGLE RUN OF $40 MILES.
Record of an Engine on Lehigh Brings
Inquiries.


Philadelphia. Dec. 19.-The unusual
performance of the new Lehigh Valley
passenger LOGON olive "F-6,'' in taking
q heavy train all the way from Buff
faIo to Jersey City on single run, has
brought inquiries from nearly all the
important railroads. In the last few
days they have either made requests
for descriptions or sent their repre-
sentatives to inspect this latest deve1-
Opment in motive power. b
There are five of the new Atlantic
type LOGON Olives
While the ordinary run of a passen-
ger engine is only about $50 miles, the
company Is now running two of these
through between Buffalo and Easton,
a distance of $40 miles.
The run from Buffalo to Jersey City
could be made regularly, eastbound,
without ending the journey short of
fuel; but westbOund because of the
heavier grades and heavier traffic, the
margin of supply upon reaching Buff
falo would be too small. Hence the
run of 44O miles is not attempted day
in and day out. On test, however. the
through trip with a single locomotive
was made both eastbound and west
bound.
The performance of the new Allan
tics is due partly to design and CON
structiOn. particularly of the fire box
firemen in saving coal For some time
the company has been carrying on an
Z ctive campaign of education in fuel
economy the help of a chief
fuel inspector and several subordinates
and the fruits of it are now being
reaped.
on this $40 mile run the consunp-
ton of coal is IS pounds per mile. The
greatest average for all passenger
trains in the country is just twice as
great, $50 pounds; and some Of the
heaviest grades in the east are en-
countered on the Lehigh between Buff

DECREASE IN GROSS EARNINGS.
A Loss of O.6 Per Cent in Four Weeks
of November

VI -NOt0UlDCE.
Railroad gross earnings still show a
decreasing tendency, the total of all
United States roads reporting to date
for the four weeks of November, ac-
cording to Duns Review, aggregating
$3S,163.S29, a loss of O.6 per cent, as
compared with the earnings of the
same roads for the corresponding
period last year.
Losses are general and continue
most pronounced in the southwest and
west, the decreases reported by Colo
RADIO & Southern, Denver & Rio
Grande, Missouri, Kansas & Texas,
and some other roads being only par
TALLY offset by the gains on Missouri
Pacific, International & Great North

Gently report smaller earnings than a
year ago, among them Central of
Georgia, Chesapeake & Ohio and
Southern; but some roads still make
favorable returns, notably Louisville
& Nashville, which for the latest week
reports a small increase. In other

though IN only few instances is it at
