LONG RAILS, Railroad Experiment With Them, The Pennsylvania railroad, which, for the past three years, has been ex- perimenting with long rails on por- satisfactory results on the same, and it is probable that it will soon supplant the present thirty-foot rail. The ad- vantage possessed by the sixty-foot rail over the shorter one now in use is the saving effected in the matter of joints, which item, including fish and bed plates, together with the bolts, amounts to fully $600 per mile. Pro- portionately, the long rails are not more expensive than the short ones, while the difficulty at first experienc- ed on the part of the mills to roll them has been overcome and they are as readily rolled as the shortest ones. | The company has now in use from five to ten miles of the new rails on each of the main line sections between Philadelphia and Pittsburg. now ! lo tos Damages for Bad Walks This time Bellefonte in the | neck. man by | name of Bolt was tripped by a loose | { board on one of the | tained severe injuries.
