Philadelphia, to develop the Balti-
more and Delaware and Smyrna
and Delaware Bay railroads in
connection with the New Jersey
Central system. These two roads
will be consolidated and reorgan-
lied under the name of the Della
ware, New York and Boston Com
pany. The road runs from Smyr-
ma to Colchester via Chestertown
and on the Chesapeake Bay, and
from Smyrna to Bombay Hook on
the Delaware, where a large float
will take the cars over to the bay
side, the terminus to the Jersey
Southern. The road traverses one
of the most fertile regions of the
Peninsula, and will absorb a large
portion of the peach business. The
calculation is to deliver all truck
shipped over this road during the
day at 3 o'clock the following
morning in Jersey City. Through
freight to Boston via the Pough-
keepsie bridge will reach Boston
seven hours ahead of any schedule
now in operation. In connection
with the above project it is rumor-
ed that the steamer Richard
Stockton will make Bombay Hook
its terminus. This is simply a re
vival of a scheme that has been
talked of, on and off, for twenty
years, and abandoned each time by
reason of the impracticability of
making good railroad connections
by crossing the Delaware Bay
from Bombay Hook to the Jersey
Shore.

COAL STOVES IN P. R. R.
COACHES ENDED


The Pennsylvania Railroad ran a
train of twelve cars Wednesday
from Philadelphia to New York to
make the final tests of the steam
heating apparatus with which the
company has been experimenting
during the winter. The run was
made in two hours and a half, and
the experiment was successful in
every respect. AS result the
system will probably be put in eff
feet on all the cars of the COM
pany next winter, the summer be-
ing occupied in making the neces-
sary changes and alterations in
the rolling stock. 1t will require
much labor and expense, but by
the time cold weather sets in
again the Ideally car stove" SO far
as the Pennsylvania is concerned,
will be thing of the past. To
thoroughly exhibit the system the
seats were removed entirely in two
cars in the middle of the train
Jutting out from each side Of the
car was a row of cast iron pipes
two and half inches in diameter
and about three inches above the
floor. Each pipe ended abrutly
with a stout, fiat cap, and between
the two rows there stretched a
pathway from door to door for the
aisle. The iron pipes ran to others
incased in wood, which ran along
the sides of the car. The cars
were two ordinary passenger
coaches and here it was that the
system was explained by the offic-
ials to nearly a hundred invited
guests. The reason twelve cars
were taken was to give the system
a trial ON train as long as can
be drawn with safety on any road.
For over two vars the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad officials have been
making experiments with various
patents and designs for heating
cars by steam. After many trials
the plan which was so successfully
tried Wednesday was. the one ar
rived at The system is described
as follows: Two straight, direct
train pipes are used. each three
inches in diameter. The one on
the left hand side of the car is
used for carrying the steam to the
cars and the other to carry the
water of condensation back to the
locomotive. These pipes are in
connection with a three inch sylin-
Ger pump, which is fixed in the
tender of the locomotive, and is al
ways running, so as to create a
vacuum in the pipes. The steam
used Wednesday to heat the long
train was the exhaust steam used
in running the pump, it only TAX
ing about five pounds.

THE COLLINS BEACH
CAUSEWAY

There seems to be a division in
Hundred over the adop-
tion by the State or county of a
new causeway over Collins Beach
meadows, and when a bill was up
to this effect the first of last week,
it was strongly antagonized by Mr..
Brockson, the representative from
that hundred. This called for earn
est work on the part of its friends
and accordingly on Friday the
road committees Of both houses
were visited by delegation of
about twenty-five gentlemen who
are interested in the new road
which the Collins Beach Meadow
Company asks the county to take.
The committees were gathered in
the parlor of the House, and the
delegation explained the matter in

planned the situation and j. II.

not be disregarded. The situation
was explained by large diagram

OLD STATION
CLOSES DOORS
Landmark in Life of Ameri.
can Railroading at Relay,
Md, Near Baltimore
HISTORICAL PLACE

BALTIMORE, MD.-The I08-year-
old Baltimore & Ohio station agency
at Relay, Md, few miles south
west Of here, has closed its doors.
From the day in 1880 that the first
station building was erected there
until now. Relay has been land
mark in American railroad history
Standing on a high bank along the
Patapsco river, during Colonial
times its site overlooked the flour
ishing river port called Elkridge
Landing, few miles north Of Ches-
a2eake bay. Indeed, until a devas-
tating food swept the valley in
1868, the river was still navigable
from the bay to the landing, and
small tug hauled iron laden scows
over the route several times a week.
Meantime, however, the valley be-
gan to echo to the sharp toot of loco
motive whistles.
Construction of the B & o, Amer
ica's first commercial railroad, had
been started in Baltimore in 1928.
Within two years the rails reached
out 13 miles to the famous mills at
Ellicott's. Peter Cooper had already
run his Tom Thumb" locomotive
over the stretch, but the young rail
road still put its dependence on the
''hay-burners"- horses, and half
way of the route it had stables
where it put on fresh teams, or re
lays" Hence the place became
known as Relay and continued to be
an important point for interchange
of traffic for many years.
Here began the building Of La
trobe's Folly in the 1906. La
trobe was chief engineer of the road
which needed to bridge the valley
to send its trains south to the capi-
tai at Washington And here. de
spite the ridicule heaped on La
trobe, was completed in 1885
bridge of extraordinary design.
beauty and strength 1t is the old
est multi-arch railroad bridge in the
world.
Now this historic and beautiful
old station no longer echoes to the
rumble of baggage trucks, and the
click of ticket stamps. Shifting Of
suburban population has made it
more convenient to serve the public
at other nearby stations.

SAFETY
COUNCIL NEWS
Most Accidents Take Place
Where There Is No
Regulation
ORGANIZED EFFORT

A study of accidents on the
streets and highways made by the
Delaware Safety Council shows
that the largest number of these
occur where there is no regula-
tions; in other words, where the
results of operation are due to ac-
tion of the individual, and where,
through some failure, he causes in
jury to others. 1t is plain, then,
that the object of our organized
effort should be this individual
driver who must be educated and
taught responsibility. The causes
for accidents, as given by the
Council, prove that the great ma
jority of them are due to negli-
gence of the individual operator;
driving on the wrong side of the
road, running off the road, exceed
ing the speed limits, contesting for
the right of way, ETC.; certainly all
of these show plainly who is at
fault.
The State of Delaware has done
everything that it can to eliminate
the dangerous railroad crossing,
and to widen and mark the COM
mon highways. But it is difficult
to cope with the human equation,
difficult to understand the kind of
speed complex that will persistent
emily disregard all the warnings.
Public safety is purchasable
through organized effort, through
the dissemination of safety infor-

nation, through cooperation be-
tween public bodies and private
agencies, the railroads, the indus
tries, through the larger corpora
tions which employ men in hazard
Gus occupations and the personal
efforts of those workers themseIv
es. Certainly this wide coopera-
tive effort is essential if we are
going to be able to boast that We
have reduced to the lowest posi-
BILE minimum the hazards to life
and limb in public places, in indus
try and in the home.
