Development of Fast Freight Service Benefits Richmond

A consignment of silk $140,0000 has just arrived

York from a Chinese port.

York to Chicago, all trains are broken up there and the goods reasserted. In this way all the freight for a certain section, or a certain city,, no matter where it originated, is collected here and placed in cars destined for that territory. The changes are made with remarkable swiftness and the attendant delay is inconsiderable. Beside the preference freight that

is carried over the Union line, the

The Rev. Abraham Yohannan, a native of Ferula, who Is one of the asso

ciate clergy of St. Hartholomew ParIhti of New York city and occupying the chair of oriental languages of Columbia university, and who spent (tevera! weeks in this city found his visit here a most Interesting one. He holds Richmond in high regard as Is testified by the following communication which the Palladium has received in which he deals with the religious and social atmosphere of the city. "I enjoyed my brief stay at Richmond this summer very much indeed, and made some good friends whom I expect to visit again In the near future. Richmond is a clean city. The people are of simple and modest life, and without any false pretentions. As much as I could see or find out the Immoral shows or plays are not allowed. The boys and young men are very courteous and cordial. They meet each other on the streets and converse like intlma-e triends. I ascribed this chiefly to the Influence of the Y. M. C. A. and hope that in the near future a Y. V. C. A. will also be established. "I was surprised only to see so many

churches and denominations in such a small community where there should be only one. Seemingly they differ, but they do not. This reminds me of a shrine on the summit of a conical mountain In Persia, which is visited once a year by the people of the surrounding regions to commemorate the anniversary. You can see the people climbing up the mountain from all directions. Those on the east side, for instance, are opposite the ones on the west side; and the men on the north slope seem to be opposed to those on the south. ' But everyone is on the right track, and they all meet at the same point. No matter how different be the Islands of the sea, in shape, soil and vegetation, they are joined at the bottom. I was Impressed y the harmony among the ministers of the various denominations and their co-operation for the good of the community. They meet together' occasionally with that object in view.' In some cities the members of the congregations of different denominations have also been brought together In the church of one of them to hear a religious address by the minister of a certain denomination and It has proven to be very useful.

would have been nesessary formerly, the importer was able to put his capital into action alter two weeks and a half. Silks may not be a necessity, and saving on them may aid those who can moat afford to pay, but how about vegetables and fruits? It touches the mass of the people pretty closely to be able to get now potatoes in February instead of waiting till late spring or summer. The districts surrounding the large cities do not produce enough fruits to supply them, and were it not for fast freight trains, only the rich could ever afford to buy it in the cities. The perfection attained by this service makes it possible for a trainload of peaches to leave the Delaware-Maryland-Virginia Peninsula in the early morning and be on the consumers tables the same day. This perfection was brought about by improvements in every department of the railroad or

ganization; by more tracks more pow

erful locomotives, larger and heavier cars, gentler grades and fewer curves, and perhaps most of all by the advance In operating and the ever increasing resources of managing ability. The pioneer fast freight organizationof America was the Star Union line, which carries on the through traffic over the Pennsylvania System between the eastern and western lines. For ten years prior to 1873, when it was purchased by the 'Pennsylvania, It was operated as a private line, having grown out of the business established seventy years ago by Leech and company of Philadelphia, and Clark and company of Pittsburg. On the westbound schedule of this line there are eleven trains which leave eastern points daily Just as regularly do the passenger trains; and

J eastbound there is only one less. This

does not represent the total volume of traffic, however, for only the last sections are scheduled, and advance sections are required so frequently that they are rather the rule than the exception during certain seasons. Not more than thirty cars of preference freight are allowed to an engine, and

From other shipping points in either the east or west an equally rapid service is given, the zones being divided according to the distance. On westward runs the Union Line is fed by the immense shipments of merchandise from the great manufacturing centers of the New England States, New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey and by the thousands of tons of fruits and vegetables which comes from the South Atlantic states, not all of which go to Eastern markets. Returning, besides the valuable consignments of nilk for New York and Europe from the Orient, there is the enormous fruit crop from the Pacific states to be delivered to the markets on both sides of the Atlantic. Almost everything that can be found in a store is included in the preference class, as well as many of the heavier

Western cities also, and this comes from Norfolk and the Delaware-Maryland-Virginia Peninsula to Harrisburg where it is sorted and realloted to the right cars. A produce man in New York can telegraph an order to Norfolk today and sell the vegetables tomorrow. A man in Chicago can telegraph to Now York for goods and display it the third morning. It is the fast and luxurious passenger trains that attract the public admiration, but it is the less spectacular fast freight trains that contribute most to the public welfare.

it takes in everything from the first through the fifth group according to the official freight classifications. Owing to the fact that small lots of freight originate at widely separated points, billed for an equally scattered number of places, it would be impractical to give a separate car to each, and carry it through to its destination. To get around this difficulty the transfer yards have been created, and they have been very instrumental in the development-of the fast freight service. Pitcairn is the point where most of the transfers are made by the Pennsylvania, and with the exception of two through trains that run from New
