WOODEN CAR PASSES.
Building of Them for Trains Has
 Practically Ceased.

The recommendation Of the inter state commerce commission, repeated in it's last annual report, that the use of steel cars in passenger train ser vice be required" seems in a fair way toward being carried out without fur ther effort on the part of the commts- s- sion. says the Railway Age Gazette in an editorial in It's current issue. The editorial is based upon bulletin of the special committee on relations of rail way operation to legislation. published in the same issue, in which it Is shown that only three wooden cars for pas senger train service were under con struction on Jan. 1, 1917.
 The building of wooden passenger train cars has pra actically ceased. The bulletin shows that there wer in pas senger train service on Jan. l, 1909; approximately 629 all steel cars and 673 cars having steel underframes. On Jan. 1. 1917, there were in such ser vice 15,754 ali steel cars and 6.s16 cars having steel underframee, representing increases of 2405 per cent. and S12 per service 39.169 wooden cars in pas senger train service, indica ting a re- tirement of S.957 wooden cars from service since Jan. l, 1912, tie date Of the previous census. Of this number 2213 were retired during the calendar year 1916. This record includes a total of 61 1909 passenger train cars and GOV CTS reports from roads representing z09. 4VO mics OI TdINdy III LnS A AlLttA States.
 significant addition to these facts contained in the bulletin is a statement of the approximate cost to the railways of repla cing with steel cars the wooden cars now In passenger service. The average cost per car on the first of January varied for the different cass- es of passenger train equipment from S14.S00 for a baggage or express to s37. .000 for a parlor, sleeping or dining car. Taking the numbers of each ciass now in service al the average cost Of each class. gives for the 39.1se cars total replacement cost of ssS1. 900 600 At per cent this cost represents an annual interest charge of s44 900 GOO. If the wooden cars replaced be given an assumed value of g. GOO each. the charge to operating expenses for the replacement with steel under the classification of accounts of the inter state commerce commission amounts to s156 670000.
 The bulletin claims that there has been a certain relation between the building of steel passenger equipment and the condition of railway business in different years. The substitution of steel cars for wooden cars is a safety measure. It means an added expendi- ture in railway operation with little or no exception of cores bonding return in revenue. Nevertheless, periods of prosperity or the reverse are reflected 1 the number of wooden cars replaced witr cars Of steel construction.

 BY TROLLEY GAR.
Little Girl Ran Out on to Street in
 Path of the Car.

Lucy Fontonelh, the year old daughter of Louis F'ontoneIli, of Mys- tic. was almost instantly killed about 7.15 Monday evening when she was run over by the Old Mystic trolley.
 The little girl ran out from behind the hosehouse which stands near the track when the car was about 20 feet away. Motorman Raymond Wheeler applied fthe emergency brake, blew his whistle and shouted to the little one. She had almost crossed the track when the car hit her and passed over her body. The car came to 8 stop about eight feet beyond the body of the girl. a remarkable stop on the part of the motorman.
 Dr. Miles and Dr. Congdon were notified. but the child was dead before they arrived. Medical Examiner Lit tie of Stonington was summoned and viewed the body, giving permission for it's removal. Examiner Little placed no blame on the motorman af- ter examining several witnesses. Dr. Little said that it was one of those sad but unavoidable accidents that occur.
 Motorman Wheeler was unstrung by the accident and another motorma n had to finish his run for him. The car was in charge of Conductor Sam uel Lamb.
