New Haven & Hartmrd roads.
Some of the largest shareholders of
the New York. New Haven & Hartford
Railroad have been asked by represen
tatives of the Pennsylvania railroad If
they would favor. a long time lease of
that road to the Pennsylvania on the
basis of a 10 per cent. per annum guar-
antee on the New Haven stock. An ai-
ternatIVe proposition is said to have
been made of an 8 per cent. guarantee
and a bond bonus equivalent to 2 per
cent additional There is the best of
authority for the assertion that the
Pennslyvanla Railroad management
proposes to strengthen its position in
New England by a close and perma~
nent alliance with the New York, New
Haven & Hartford road.
President Hall, 'of the Consolidated
is quoted by the New Haven Register'
as follows with regard to the alleged
offer:
'I am not aware what large holder
in New York has been offered a 10 per
‘cent. guarantee on our stock or an 8
per cent. guarantee with a 2 per cent.
bond as bonus. and do not believe that
any stockholder has been offered any
such guarantee whatever by anyone
representing the Pennsylvania ltuil
road "
“Is the rebuilding of the Air Line

“it is not " Was the reply.
“Is the eport true that the Consol-

Any one who inquires carefully into
the whys and whereforcs in the r~uii
road business will find that everything
is based on a system It is system here
system there and system everyWheIo.
The most important thing in the busi
ness is done by system and so, too. Is
the least important. Trains are run
by system. roads and rolling, stock are
repaired by system and In the work-
ing of the general system every car
ploye of the road from the president
down to the greenest man In the grav
cl pit plays more 01 loss of a conspic
nous part.
One of the beauties of the great rail
road system is the way in which they
are divided into what might be called
sub systems. It is through the opera-
tion of one of these that railroad com-
panics are enabled to keep track of
the thousands of freight cars that roll
through the country day and night.
They are here toddy and gone tomor-
row. but no matter where they are an
oldest of the load. or any one else who
has a fight can find out in n ver few
minutes anything he wants to know
about any one of them.
F‘veiy railroad company has a. some
of men whose business it is to keep
hack of all ems. They do nothing
else. If one of the olilcers of the road
or an agent wants to know where
freight car steep hundred and clean
is, the men in this office can tell him.

they quickly rattle off the topic. All
by the system under which the work is
done.
it is the duty of cveiy railroad agent
to make out at least once 11 day a list
of all the cars that pic in the territory
over which he has jurisdiction These
lists are revised every day. The cars
are all numbered or marked in some
way. so that each may be readily iden.
tifled and when one or more is sent
out. say from Newark that fact is set
forth in the local agent's statement.
These statements we manlfolded
and sent to different places, and so
others biasides loose in the our offices
can tell where the vehicles are. Cars

report. They ramble on and on. and
In due time reach the territory of an-

them from day to day until they leave

This system does not end with the
work and records of each separate rail
road. In Buffalo there is a general
car oilios. where the records are ob-
mined and kept in much the same way
There however. they keep track of the
cars of all the railroads in the country
and when one stops to think of the
almost countless number of these via

mag‘niture of the task. Yet it Is done
