STATISTICS ABOUT GROWTH OF

Little Railroad Notes.
The edition of "Poor's Manual nf
(Railroads for 1S99," which Is now In
press, will present some startling sta
tistics, showJns the srowth of earnings
of the American railways during the
jwist year.
According to the statistical exhibits
contained in tha Introduction to the
work, the length of steam railroads
In the United States on Dec. i. lSfiS,
were 1SG.810 miles, a net lnc-ease of
2219 miles In the year. Althoun there
were 31.19 miles of new ral'ioad con
structed In lhOS, sundry deduction, due
chiefly to the abandonment of roads
built in previous years, aggrssutlnij
PSO miles, calls-. 1 the low net Increase
In the year.
The heaviest construction of the
year was In the southwestern group
of states, In which no less than M
.nlles were built. Arkansas having to
Its credit 221 miles, Texas IS) miles,
New Mexico 159 miles, Missouri 132
miles and Oklahoma territory 120 miles.
The Importance of the work in this
section can be more readily compre
hended when compared with tli3 rec
ords of greatnst construction lit other
groups and In other years since 1890.
The result of the operations of 'he
railroads of the country is a matter
of first importance with investors' and
publicists. Examinations of the figures
flhows that gross earnings Increased
$110,992,098 In 1898 over the earnings of
3S97. and $123,926,699 over the earnings
of 1896. Large as these Increases ap
pear, however, the percentage of In
crease (which was 1.03 greater in 1S9S,
ns compa.-ed with 1S97), seems infin
itesimal. The ( greatest increase In earnings
was Ift the freight department, which
aggregated $808,924,526 in 1898, aa
against $780,351,939 in 1897, tho increas-j
of $SS,572,5S7 being equal to 1.29 per
cent, notwithstanding a decrease of
i'.SO per cent. In the average receipts
per ton per mile, which, in 189S, reached
the lowest figures ever recorded, b"lr.g
7.58 mills, as against 7.97 mills In 1S97,
and 8.20 mills In 1S96.
In 1898 the number of tons of freight
moved Increased 3.8S per cent., while
the number of tons of freijrht moved
one mile increased 1.21 per cent., the
actual volume of Increase in tho lat
ter item representing 16,723,601,041 tons
one mile. The significance of this in
crease becomes apparent when c nn
parlson Is made with the increase re
corded In othr years. In 1897 the in
crease in tens one mile over 1896 was
.956,715,516: 1896 over 1895, 5,318,0S2,S33;
1895 over 1894, 6,347,870,303.
Moved Into the Mine.
A half dozen years ago tho "West
HIdge Coal company sunk a shaft on
the Von Storch property on Ferdinand
street and Installed a plant for hoist
ing coal from the lower to the upper
veins, along which It was run to the
foot of tho slope, and then taken to
the surface.
Suit was brought'to compel the com
pany to close this shaft and remove
the hoisting apparatus and the courts
finally decided that the engines would
have to be removed. The work of
removing the engines down into tho
mine has been going on for some time
nnd is now about completed.
New Leggett's Creek Breaker.
The new Leggett's Creek breaker of
the Delaware and Hudson Canal com
pany has been completed and it was
put in operation this week. It is one
of the largest and best equipped in this
valley.
Several additional compressed air cn
engines have been Installed in the mine.
Last winter a compressor plant with
feeders to the Clark Vein was Installed
tit the Leggett's Creek mine and an
engine was put in operation, doing
away with the use of a large num
ber of mules and men.
The engine has given such satisfac
tion that two more have been added,
which does away with the hauling
purposes In tho main headings.
Changes in Schuylkill.
Tho Philadelphia and Reading Rail
road oompany lsabout to make another
change which will remove the last
trace of executive power from Sha
mokln and the other lowns on that
division, and which will affect every
crew or train passing over it. In a
short while the running of all trains
will be directed from the trainmas
ter's office at Tamaqua, Instead of by
the different train runners at Mahanoy
Plane, Gordon, Shamokln and Cata
wlssa. Early in the year it wns known that
tho company had this change In view,
but for some reason abandoned it un
til recently. From one central ofllco
it will not require so many men to
run the trains as at present, and some
of the four train dispatchers at Sha
Imokln, two at Gordon, two at Mahanoy
Plane and four at Catawlssa will be
transferred to the office at Tamaqua,
and some will either be laid oft or
given other positions.
H. P. Little Resigned.
H. P. Little has resigned his posi
tion as shipping clerk of the car shops
of tho Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Railroad company In this city.
3to has been succeeded by John Dur
Itln, of West Scranton, who has been
in the office of General Storekeeper of
the company for several months past.
Mr. Durkln was for many years a type
Better and 'was foreman of tho Dio
cesan Record office when he received
his. appointment under Mr. O'Connor.
,Mr. Little wfts one of the. oldest em
ployes of the company in this city. He
came here over twenty-seven years
Pjfo, just a few. months before Robert
- m a l -T- ' l-LJruaua
Powder
CO., f to V0K.
MeKenna. the lato superintendent of
the shops came to the city. Ho held
tho position of (shipping clerk for
twenty-live years.
This nnd That.
Lehigh Valley trains 3 and 6 are the
only ones besides tho Black Diamond
on which one train crew covers the
entire run between New York and Buf
falo. Tho leases on several of the most Im
portant collieries on the Olrard estate
In Schuylkill county expire on Dec. 31,
1900, and the trustees of the estate
have already released the operations.
Tho agreements were made after pro
tracted negotiations. The terms un
der the new leases have now been so
fixed that the agreement concerning
all the collieries will expire on Dec. 31,
1913.
Ever since the Parrlsh Coal company
hns commenced filling orders for the
Susquehanna Coal company, whose
miners are on strike, they have felt
that some damage would be done their
properties at Plymouth and the But
tonwood and In order to prevent any
thing of that nature occurlng three
watchmen have been placed on duty
at both breakers. The miners and
other workmen at these places, Includ
ing the Nantlcoke strikers, say the
operators are unduly alarmed and de
sire to place them in a false position.
They will not countenance any vio
lence to the properties of any operator
nnd state that their method Is moral
suasion.
TO WEIGH ALL MAIL MATTER.
Government to Ascertain the Amount
That Is Being Transported.
For the first time In more than twen
ty years the postofflce department has
ordered a general weighing of the
malls. Every postmaster In the coun
try has received an order from Post
master General Smith directing him to
weigh all mall matter that passes
through his office between Oct. 3 and
N'ov. 6 and to send a report to the de
partment. The department at Washington has
been arranging for this general weigh
up and preparing blanks circulars, etc.,
for some time. At the end of the
thirty-five days report from all of the
postofllces In the country will be for
warded to Washington.
During the period slnce the last
weighing of the malls by tfie govern
ment the railroad companies and other
carriers have weighed the malls them
selves. The department could only es
timate their weight, and the govern
ment may have been overcharged for
their transportation.
