t Altogether on Saturday and Sun
day 1117 loaded oars of coal passed
over the Lehigh Valley oast from Pack-
ertou. Duriug the same time 1100
empty oars passed west over the road
Tho freight traffic iucluded (BO loaded
and 473 empty cars. This makes a total
of 1230 cars on mi eight wheel Imsls, or
159,025 feet, or mllos of trains, tho
length of tho ears averaging 37H feet,
This Is the heaviest run ot oars that
over passed over the Lehigh Valley iu
one day. The imasenger trafllo align
ments this remarkable record by sev
oral miles. The stupendous woik was
performed without any delay whatever
to passenger trains.
The Pennsylvania Railroad's offi
cials have been annoyed for some time
by the failure by u number of their
passenger trains to run ou schedule
time. Au investigation led lu tbe dis
covery that much valuable lime woe
lost lu the embarking and disembark

edy this evil uotloes will be placed in

alight from and board the trains as

statistical report of the Interstate

Its atatlstlcion, ha just been submit

pages and contains many InqiorUiut
suniuinrloe nml comparison lwrtalu
lug to the operations ir railways.
The folldwloR Is a synopsis ot the I e-
port: Xlleago Hallway mileage in tbe
United Stales on June 30, 1801, was
108,102.71 mile. These llguree Indicate
tlio length of single track mileage, the
total mileage, of all tracks lieing 210,-
110.11 miles. Some of the tate are
exceptionally well provkled with rail
way faculties, as may bo seen by the
tablo ot the report, which shows the
length ol lino iu the several Slates per
100 square miles of territory. Such
assignment shows for Connecticut
20.7" miles, for Delaware, 16.10 mi:o;
for Illinois, 18.25 miles; for Iowa, 15.12
miles; for Massachusetts, 25.19 miles;
for New Jersey, 27.71 miles; for Xew
York, 10.10 miles; for Ohio, 1U.08 miles;
for Ponusylvauln, 22.7 1 miles. Tho
only countries lu Europe which have
an exoess of lu miles per lot) square
miles of territory are: Germany, with
12.44 miles; Great Britain, with 10.42
miles;, Frnuoo, with 11.00 mllos; Bel
gium, with 28.23 miles; Holland, with
13.73 miles, nud Switaerlaud, with, 12.10
miles. Xo country In Europe, Sweden
nloue excepted, has 10 miles nt line
per 10,000 inhabitants, while In this
country, on tho other hund, but two
Statos havo less Hum 10 miles of rail
way per 10,000 inhabitants.
The increase in railway mileage
during tlio year wns 4is"i.(10 miles.
This Is less than the average of Increase
for several yenrs past. The grontest
activity In railway building seems to
uivo been lu the States lying south of
tho Ohio, nnd eust ot tho Mississippi
Rivers, the total iucreaso iu these
States being 1.G70.&3 miles.
RAILWAY C'OBrOIl VTIONS.
Thcie were on Juno 30,1601,1785
railway corporations, of which 8S9 wcro
independent companies for the pni puso
of operation, uud717 wero subsidiary
companies, the lcmaltider being pri
veto lines. Tho report further shows
that slxtorn roads havo been abandon
ed during the year, and that ninety
two roads, representing n mileage of
10,110.25, have dissappearod by pur
chase, merging or consolidation.
Tho nctual number of railway cor
porations in 1801 is loss than tho num
ber which existed iu 181X1, notwith
standing tho fact that o considerable
number of new linos wero chut tered
during tho year. The tendency toward
consolidation is clearly indicated by
the'report. Ou Juno 30, 1801, there
wero forty-two companies, each of
which controlled a mileage in excess of
1000 miles nud nearly ouo-half of the
mileage of tlio country Is tho propel ty
of these forty-two companies. ,
TUB BIO COMPANIES.
Another classification contained lu
the report shows that there bio eighty
railway compuuies, each of which has
n gross revenue lu excess of 83,000,000.
Tho railways of this class control
00.18 per cent, of . tho total mllengo of
the country, receive 82.00 per cent, ot
tho amount paid by tho public for rail
way service, and perform 8.I.1O per
cent, of tho total passenger service,
and 82.00 per cent, of tho total freight
service of the country.
Out of n total of 81,074,000 tons of
freight carried ono mile, tho railways
in question carriod G7,O03,0O0.
Tho total capitalization of tho lull
ways of tho United Statos was 90,820,-
475,015, or ?00,012 per mile of lino. This
shows au increase iu outstanding capi
tal of $G02 per mile of lino us compar
ed with the previous yeur's report.
Equipment Trust obligations havo
lucrcased from 810,478,213 to 851,755,157.
A few years ago the opinion prevailed
among railway men that the leasing of
equipment by railway companies was
fast disappearing. Tills opinion is not
suppoited by tho facts.
Tho gross oarutngs from operation
during tho year wero 81,090,701,305, or
80801 per milo of Hue. Operating ex
penses wcru S731,8S7,003, or 13,38 per
mile of Hue, leaving a net iuoomo from
oporatlonof 8301,873,502 or 82203 per
mile of line. The nut Income per mile

Tho number of passengers carried
during tho year was 531,183,988. Tho

Tho report shows that casualties
during tho year wero greater than iu
any. previous year covered by reports
to the commission. Tho number killed
duriug the year was 7020, aud number
injured was 33,881.
This report empliusises more strong
ly than previous reports the necessity
of legislation compelling railways to
adopt train brakes and automatic
couplers, and also suggests that some
steiw be taken besides tho adoption ot
the train brake to prevent the fre
quency of causuultles from falling
from trains and eugiues.
The large number killed sn.l injur

nently iuto notice the necessity ot

This pspor has from time lo time
given brief Interpretation of the new
ballot law but to Iho Information iu
the following article, however, is mure
complete, and will be found very use
fill to those whose duty it will be to
lntt the new ballot law Into operation
for tbe spring or February election and
to all voters. Tlio facts are gleaned
from 11 very careful loading of every
thing lu the law that iiertalns to bor
ougfTand township elections.
The language ot the law, It seems,
contemplates nominations lu each
election district by the two dominant
imrtles at primary meetings, or cau
cuses. Certificates of such nominations
must be made out aud signed by the
presiding officer and the secretary or
secretaries of such primary meeting or
caucus, und shall bo sworn or affirmed
to by them before an officer qualified
to administer oaths, to be true to the
best of their knowledge and belief.
Xominations inny also bo made by
whtt Is termed "nomination papers."
It often transpires that no party nomi
nations are made for the sprlug elec
tion, but "Citirans"' tickets are voted.
Such tickets will como under the head
of "nomination papers," and are regu
lated as follows In Section 3:
Xominations of uatididatos for Hiiy
publlo office may also be mado by
nomination papers, sigued by qualified
elections of the election dis
trict for which tho nomination Is made
Tho signers shall number nt
least three per centum of tho largest
entlro vote for nny officer elected at
tho lust preceding election in the elec
tion district for which said nomination
papers nro deslguod to be made.
Each signer shall add to his signa
ture his place of residence and occupa
tion, and the signatures must bo
vouched for by tho affidavits of at least
Ave of the signers."
Independent candidates me not de
barred, but to have their names printed
ou the ballot they must comu under
tho same regulation that governs nom
ination papers, lu other words, tho
Independent candidate must procute
signers to his nomination. Ceitillcates
of nomination and of nomination pa
pers for township and borough officers
shall bo filed with tho auditors of the
respective townships or boroughs for
which they are mado. CcrtiflcatqH of

All such certificates shall be open to

served in (ho office iu which they nro
filed for a period of at least two years.
Objections to certificates or to pu
pers, us to conformity or nonconfor
mity to law, shall be heard and deter
mined by tho auditors or 11 majority of
them. Such objections must be iu
writing und filed with tho auditors
within throe days after tho last day for
the filing of such certificates und
papers. Objections 'ty the, vullditv of
certificates and papers other than ob
jections as to form shall bo filed with
tho prothonotary, and tho. court, yr
any judge ttiereof, shall immediately
upon notification proceed to hour such
objections.
.Any person whoso uunio has been
presented as u candidate may cause
his name to bo withdrawn from lami
nation by request in writing, und n
commiltco uppointed by the primary
meeting or caucus making the original
nomination shall havo tho power lo
place on. tho ticket u substitute for
tho name withdrawn, tho manner of so
doing being subject to tho sumo regu
lation that governed the original, In
case of a substitute nomination paper,
not filed by a committee but signed by
citizens, then It bhall only be neces
sary that two-thirds of tho signers of
tho substituted nomination shall have
been signers of the original paper.
In case u substituted nomination is
transmitted to tho township or borough
auditors after tho ballots havo. been
printed tho said auditors shall prepare
aud distribute with tho ballots sultablo
slips of papers (stickers) bearing the
substituted name, together witli the
title of tho office, which shall be elfered
to each voter with the regular ballot
nud may bo affixed thereto.
The couuty commissioners and audi
tors shall ascertain tho offices to be
filled aud shall be responsible for tho
ncourato printing of the ballots, nud
for tho safe keeping of the same while
lu their possession or that of their
hulMirdlustes or agents. The auditors
shall cause the ballots to bo ptiuted
and to bo distributed to the proper
election board, and thoy shall certify

sioners for payment as part of the
county election expense.

spect similar to the form used at the
last or X'ovember election, excepting
that the ballot will begin witli the
names belonging to tbe iol!tlcal party
