Deadheads on a Russian Railway.

The Russian minister of ways arid communications recently requested the management of the Nikolai railway (St. Petersburg-Moscow) to furnish him with a list of passengers traveling without tickets over the lines during 1908. The return is now published. From this is appears that 32,834 so-called “deadheads’* used the line during the twelve months, some without tickets, but the larger number with passes irregularly obtained. Of these passes 716 were confiscated and the bearers compelled to pay their fares, and £1.849 was recovered by legal process. Seventeen guards and other officials were dismissed for collusion in the frauds. —London Evening Standard. ,
