Xliey Aro to Bo Established at All
of the Plants of the Amorlcan Steel
Wire Company United States Now
Has Over 200,000 Miles of Rail
ways Rumors of Closer Relations
Between the Western Union and
Postal Companies That Board for
Today.
A hospital for the treatment of emer
gency cases wilt be established on the
Kroun'ds of each of the twenty-two
plants of the American Steel und Wire
company. The plans for the buildings,
which will be as nearly uniform ns
conditions will permit, arc being pre
pared by a Philadelphia architect, and
the total cast to the company of build
ings and equipment will not fall short
of $300,000.
The determination of the company to
establish a hospital at each one of Us
plants was arrived at after a year's
experiment with a temporary emer
gency hospital, erected for the com
pany In Allentown. X.lttle was said of
the now movement ut the time the
Allentown hospital was put Into service
mid few persons outside of the olllclols
were aware of the company's Inten
tions. It did not require a full year to
prove the Inestimable value of such an
institution, cither In point of bodily
comfort to the unfortunate Iron work
ers who were forced to enter It for
treatment, or in point of ultimate ex
pense to the corporation. For the last
several months the company has been
shaping Its plans for hospitals at all
Its plants, and it Is calculated that
within the next six months alt -will
be ready to receive patients.
Each hospital will be of plain brick
construction, two stories in height, and
with baths, sitting rooms, library, din
ing room and sleeping apartments for
the nurses, will have quarters for six
beds, that number being figured as the
maximum of cases that may need at
tention at the same time. In addition
to these departments, there will, of
course bo the regulation dispensary
for the use of those employes who may
need medical attention, or who are not
ho seriously Injured that they may not
be treated at home.
A corps of six nurses and two drug
gists and thorough ambulance service
will be requisite for each hospital, in
addition to the resident physician.
There are three plants of the company
In Pittsburg, and one each In Allen
town. Jolict, 111.; Cleveland, O.: Fall

Railroad Building.
The beginning of tho second half of
1902 sees the railroads of the United
States cros the 200,000 mile line. Con
struction during the past six months
was not especially active, though it
was larger than last year's correspond
ing time, but the total which had been
reached by tho end of 1!)01 was so near
tho 200,000 mile mark that that line
was certain to ho passed long before
1902 neared its close.
It Is only by comparing this mileage
with that of some of the rest of tho
great countries that the American peo
ple can fully realize tho tremendous
development which has taken place In
this field in their own land. Figures
of railroad activities of the world at
large are not very trustworthy, but
taking those which are most recent
and reliable, the United States is seen
to be far ahead of any other country.
Germany has about 32,000 miles of
main track; Russia, 29,000; France, 27,
000; Austria-Hungary, 23,000; Great
Britain and Ireland, 22,000, while no
other European country has as many
as 10,000 miles. All of Europe has
about 175,000 miles of road, or consid
erably less than the United States,
while the entire world's mileage Is ap
proximately 500,000, of which the Unit
ed States furnishes two-flfths.
All this railroad construction has
come in about two generations of time.
When John Stevens, In 1822, got a
charter from the Pennsylvania legis
lature to build a railroad from Phila
delphia to Columbia on the Susque
hanna (which was never built) some
body asked one of the Pennsyl
vania papers, "what Is a railroad, any
how?" The editor gave It up, but said
that "perhaps some other correspond
ent can toll." It Is only seventy-four
years on the Fourth of July since work
was started on the construction of tho
first of America's great roads; It is only
fifty-one years since the waters of the
West at Lake Erie were first reached
by through rail from the Atlantic
coast, and as recently as Appomattox
there were only 32,000 miles of main
track in thejWhole country, compared
with 200,000 miles now.
Closer Relations Rumored.
Rumors of closer relations between
the Western Union and the Postal
company were again current yesterday,
but as heretofore denied. On this sub
ject an interest having means of Bet
ting at the facts said:
"It was . fundamental proposition
that there could be no consolidation or
combination of tho Western Union
with the Postal while Mr. Mackay was
at the head of the Postal company.
Antagonisms were too deep-rooted.
Tho relations between other members
of tho Mackay family and the Goulds
have, however, been very different, and
while they do not perhaps justify be
lief in any external change In the re
lations of tho two companies, they car
ry a suggestion of personal relations
which are often influential In business
nffulrs, People have bought Western
Union iutely on belief that events nre
now possible which were not possible
while Mr, Mackay lived, although that
Is not saying that such events are even
contemplated at present." Philadel

docks are about cleaned up. In Chicago'
territory demand has strengthened. Pos
sibly half of the docks aro now bare of
anthracite, and shipments by rail to out-of-town
points liavo almost stopped, wlillo
orders for future delivery aro refused.
It Is believed, however, that if retail deal
ers are conservative there will be no real
Htiinscncy until after Christmas. Mil
waukee is worse off than Chicago as re
gards supplies of anthracite.
Along tho lower lakes and In the nil-rail-

marked. Along tho Atlantic seaborn d
supplies are more plentiful some distance
from New York than near tho city, as

THOSE THAT
LIVE BY FAITH
THEY
ARE POUND IN
WALKS OP LIFE.
ALL
So Said Rev. E. B, Singer In a Ser
mon Delivered Last Night In the
Elm Park Methodist Episcopal
Church Faith Alone Endureth
Time, He Said Spiritual Life
Needs to Be Used If We Would De
velope It Destiny of All Fixed by
Cod.
Rev, E. B. Singer, the assistant pas
tor of the Elm Park Methodist Episco
pal church, preached a forceful sermon
In thnt church last night basing his
renmrks on Hebrews 1038: "Now tho
Just Shall Live by Faith." He spoke
In part us follows:
"Let us first look at this text by
considering who are tho Just. The
line which marks the separation be
tween the just and the unjust runs not
parallel with the lines which divide
society Into clusses. In society we have
the upper classes and lower classes hut
the just may be found among the rich
or the poor. No one knows where tho
line should be drawn except God bo
cause being JuRt means being right with
God. Those who are just are
those who have proven their worth,
who have earned their spurs.
"The just shall live. The life that
Is referred to here Is the spiritual life,
tho life which those who have come In
touch with God experience. It Is a mis
take to nssumo that those who once
come In touch with God are always in
grace.
DEPENDENT UPON GOD.
"This Is not true. They are at nil
times dependent upon God and unless
they pay constant attention they may
lose this grace before they know it.
God is the source of all grace and we
must at all times keep close In touch
with Him if we would keep It.
"We must constantly resist evil If
we would preserve ourselves. This
spiritual life must be used If we would
develop it just as our muscles must
be exercised. We must do our duty as
we see It though It mean ostracism,
suffering or loss.
"Faith, wo are told, Is the substance
of things hoped for. rt is nothing that
wo can grasp or feel or see and yet
how ninny of us are living "by It just
as Paul says. The atheist and the in
fidel scoff at the man of God who sets
out toward an unseen goal with the
compass of faith to direct his course
across the sea of life.
"As we look about us we wonder If
there is aught that endures, if there is
anything that is staple. Generations
come and go und nations hold swny for
a time and then sink and decay. Amid
all tho debris and wreckage of life only
faith endures.
LIVE BY FAITH.
"The just shall live by faith. We
shall live by faith. We shall walk by
faith and materialistic changes shall
not destroy our hope as we go on. As
we grow older, if we are with the just,
wo shall find the world with its allure
ments and temptations going farther
from us until at last the body returns
to tho dust from whence It came. The
real God who rules the world and who
will never leave us. Tho ocean may
seem trackless and there 'may bo no
lighthouses to guide us on our way
but we will know that we are bound
for a goal and wo will understand that
our de3tlny Is as truly fixed as God is
God."

ARE ALL OUT OP DANGER.
Poisoning' of the Babcock Family
Was Due to Creamed Potatoes
Kept in Damp Cellar.
Maxwell Babcock, the young son of
Mr. and Mrs. H, F. Babcock, of Church
avenue, recovered consciousness at 5
o'clock yesterday morning, and is now
pronounced out of danger by Drs. J. W.
Coolldge and Theodore Sureth, who
have been treating the Babcock family,
since they have suffered from tho poison
consumed with their Thursday night
supper,
Mr. and Mrs. Babcock, and the eldest
son, Tracy, were out of danger Satur
day, but young Maxwell fell into a
stupor Friday night, nnd for awhile
his recovery was despaired of. The
physicians are now practically certain
thut the cause of the poisoning can
be directly attributed to creamed po
tatoes eaten Friday night. These had
been kept for eighteen hours In a bad
ly ventilated refrigerator, In a cellar
which on examination by the two doc
tors showed to be exceedingly damp
nnd unhealthy, as n result of the re
cent hea'vy rains, which hud partly
flooded It.
"The poison generated, under circum
stances of this kind" said Dr. Coolldge
yesterday to a Tribune man "Is absorb
ed quickly by milk, and It Is for this
reason thut the creamed potatoes prov
ed so Injurious. These damp cellars
are certainly a great menace to tho
public heulth, and I believe thut a
good deal of disease will yet result from
families eating food kept In them."
The poison contained In the potatoes
Is of a ptomaine nature, developed by
tho inolsturo laden air. Its composition
Is exceedingly complex, nnd both Dr,
Suieth und Dr. Coolldge state that tho
case presented the most unique features
of any poisoning they hud ever en
countered. YOUNG MAN DROWNED,
Charles Woelkers, Jr., Met His Death
in Lake Ariel,
Charles Woelkers, jr., aged 20 years,
of Jessup avenue, Dunmore, formerly
of South Scranton, was drowned In
Lake Ariel on Saturday. He went to
the Lake on the excursion of the Jun
ior Mechanics and went out rowing
with u friend,
His hat blew off Into to lake, and In
endeavoring to recover It, the boat was
capsized, Woelker's companion could
swim and managed to grasp the over
turned boat, but Woelkers sank, after
making a frantic effort to sustain him
self above the water.
Efforts mode to recover the body
were unsuccessful and a diver was
sent for. Ho arrived from New York
yesterday, but will be unable to make
the descent until today, because his
diving apparatus was shipped to the
wrong destination.
