Earnest Kerl or Carroll, of Zelienople died in Allegheny, last Monday, from an overdose of landnnum.

The Philadelphia divisision of 105 miles was traversed in 103 minutes, and the middle division of 132 miles in 123 min utes and the Pittsburg division of 117 in 129 minutes. On this division six slowdowns and two stops were made. The distance from Johnstown to Pitts burg—79 miles—was traversed in the same number of minutes, during which five slow downs and one stop were made. This is proof that the 20-hour train between New York and Chicago, which the Pennsylvania has been talking of putting on for some time is a possibil ity. For that trip the schedule be tween New Nork and Pittsburg would be 9 hours, and this is a practical dem onstration that the trip can be made in even less tims.
