men Heirs $1,000.
The Michigan Supreme court, ac-
c7rding to news received here yester-
day, has denied the writ Of error asked
for by the defendant in the celebrated
case Of Nick Mirkkineu against the
Quincy Mining company. The refusal
Of the court 10 grant the writ makes
it practically certain that the heirs Of
he plaintiff would get $1,000 from the
company.
Tho case. one Of the most celcbrat-
cd in the annals of Houehton county
Jurisprudence, started in Nay 1905.
when Z. n. O'Bricn. now circuit Judge
for the Twelfth circuit. but then prac-

declaration starting suit against the
Quincy for S20,O00 on behalf of Nick
Minklinen, a trammer who had been
injured by "a fall of rock on the nifty
fourth level Of No. shaft of the
Quincy on May -. 1905.
The declaration charged the COM
pauy with negligence and appeared
to be very ordinary suit at first but
IL soon developed features which made
II quite famous. Minkkinen suffered
a fractured skull and had both hands
disabled. Epilepsy set in and he was
sent 10 thc county infrmary. on one
occasion he fell onto hot radiator
here and was badly burned. The Of
I"ials at the iuirmary found him SO
difficult to take care of that he was
sent TO the county Jail for attendance
and shortly after this ne was thought
to be insane and a petition was flee

vantage of their use. In the Pennsyl-
vania s various shops, H. 800 men are
repairing freight ears and l,225 are
building new ones; more than 10000 are
repairing locomotives while $50 are
constructing new ones. Some men are
working on passenger equipment.
The pennsylvania S agents are endeav-
oring to induce shippers to move all traf-
fic at the earliest possible time in order
to preclude any danger of congestion.
Five years ago the Pennsylvania Rail
road, as well as other railroads of the
country, suffered very extraordinary ear
shortage, and it was all the management
could do to handle the traffic with the
existing facilities. Expenses which have
been incurred in the past seven or eight
years for improvement in yards and ter
minals, and low grade lines, are now bear
ing fruit in the ability the company en-.
joys to move its freight tonnage with the
utmost freedom, and efforts are now be-
ing made to secure the cooperation of
shippers so that the most may be made
of these facilities by securing the great
est mileage and loading out of each
freight car owned by the railroads.
Newark post., 1912-10-23
COMMITTEES
Fennsy Rushed to
Supply Car Demand

The heavy freight tonnage which the
sent is being moved with unprecedented
rapi,lity, but according to officials of that
road, the demand for cars seems un-
quenchable. The Pennsylvania is spend
ana to keep the present equipment i'll
goo repair, yet new ears and those from
the Company own shops are swallowed
up at once.
1t is significant to learn what the Penn
syIvana is doing to preclude the posi-
biity OF a car shortage on its lines when
the heaviest Fall traffic is offered for
movement.
mcnt of all the railroads in the United
States was 2,297 .62O ears. OF these, the
Pennsylvania System East and West of
Pittsburgh and Erie held by ownership
of the total.
The entire railroad freight car equip
meut Of the United States increased SsS,
l4s ears from 1901 to 1910, inclusive.
OF this increase the Pennsylvania Sya-
TEN supplied more than per cent.
1t is thus seen that the Company pro
vles more than II per cent of the
freight equipment, and in the past ten
wears has provided over S per cent of the
increase in the number of cars
SO eager has the Pennsylvania Rail
road been to anticipate the demands OF
its traffic that since January |, 1912 it
has ordered 12,Sl7 ears to be delivered
AS soon as they can be turned ont OF
the shops.
To insure shippers on its lines adequate
eouipment for handling business, the
company is wagng an active campaign
to oct the greatest possible service ou'
of each of the 263 800 freight ears own
ed by the System.
One of the Pennsylvania S precaution
against car shortage is to prevent, a.
much as possible, the holding of loaded
cars at sea ports. The moment notice i
received of an accumulation of ears load
ed with freight for export, quick step
are taken tohave ears released at the earl
lest possible time. This is only one o
the expedients employed by the Penn
svlyania Railroad; in cases where load
ed ears accumulate because of free stor
ace time in warehouses, new rules ar
made to keep traffic moving through tn
warehouses, thereby permitting tn
prompt unloading Of ears.
In addition to requesting shippers 7
Ioad and unload ears promptly, and 7
load them to capacity, the railroad ha
annoupced that unusual atforts were bs
ING made to reduce the amount or equil
ment awaiting repairs and to compiler
unfinished work on new ears and loce
motives.
There are at present approximately
$4,000 employees engaged on the rush OF
