foi some time, that Is, the purchase of
a eam of horses to be used In pulllmr
the fire nnparatus to and from a fire.
At present the firemen are obliged Ut
haul their cnits by hand, and there
have been times when In responding to
nlaims on the outKkirts they could not
get their carts to the lire cm nccount of
the heavy carts hlnklng so heavily In

team and let such team do botough work

will be advanced Is that the fire com
pany purchase n team, the borough to

whatever action council takes- to favor

INDUSTRIAL JOTTINGS,
Raihond Wrecks Are Usually an
Indication of Heavy Business on
Railroads Now Year Begins
in a Satisfactory Way.
When the Investor in lallioad stocks
leads In his dally newspaper of a dls
astious wreck on sorae iallio.nl line,
it is cjulte nntuial that the thought
of the great nionuj lots Involved flhould
give him u chill, nslde from the shock
convejed when such an accident Is ac
companied with lo.ss of life It Is Hue
that wieeks cost the tallroads vast
sums In dliect and consequential dam
ages ever j1 ycai.
But theie Is anothet consideration
seldom taken Into account Wrecks
Indicate lieavj' business. That Is, on
tho standaid and well-managed lines,
at least. Railroad mangcis figure that
the number of wrecks happening on a
well icgulated road are nlways In pro
portion to the volume of trnfllo hand
led. Some of them claim. Indeed, that
It is possible to detet initio tho exact
i.ttlo which freight wrecks maintain
with regard to the business which Is
being transported. So many wieeks,
mi many loaded cars
Considering the enormotiB volume of
tonnngo handled for montlw past on
the railroads of this country genernllj-,
the numbei of wieeks Is remarkably
small, and tho year's returns will show
a decreasing percentage of accidents
lehttlve to trnlllo handled a result to
bo attributed to the progressive Im
provement In roadway nnd equipment,
the widespread Introduction of eafety
appliances nnd the Increased efllelency
and skill ot the operating departments.

THIS AND THAT.
11 Is ptobable that for the (list time
In our history the United States will
thin year be surpassed by Russia as a
pioducer of pctaoleum. Reducing the
totals to tho common standaid of me
tric tons, we pioduced In 1S97 n total
of 7,"0x,23ti tons, while the quantity ie.
ported for Russia was 0,910,000 tons,
Kor the (lrst half of last yeai, how
ever, nccordlng to Russian official fig
ures quoted by the "Chemlker Zelt
ung," the output was 3,993,100 mettle
tons, which points to a total foi the
ear nppioxlmatlng 8,000,000 tons. The
output of the United Statca for 1898
will not differ gieatly from that of
1S97; If anything will be somewhat
less, so that we may expect to fall to
tho second place The Russian gtovvth
Is tho more temaikable, as produc
tion In that country continues prac
tically confined to tho small area of
the Apsheron I'enlnsuln, and no new
fields of importance have been opened.
The Imports of American lion and
steel Into Geimany showed a notuble
