Brimful of faith, a carload of cripples left Dubuqne, Ia., fur Canton, Minn., to be cured by a vision in a church windo-+ This, however, is a mi-take, the speed «f, there, the “Seotchman” having teen excelled bs several :ailroads in this country, no- tubly by the New York Central, whose “Empire State Express’? between New York and Buffalo has, until within a few days, claim: d the titl- of the fastest reg- ular train in the world, This celebrated train rans from New York to Buffslo, a distance of 440 miles, in elyht hours and forty minutes. which is at the rate of revents-one seconds to each nile, or fifty and two-t id. mils per hour, Deducr- ing al] stops the average runni: g time of this tram is fifty-two and tw lve ¢ne-hun- dredths wil-s per hour. Now, however, comes a new claimant for high speed honors. It has been discov- ered that the Reading Railroid’s 3:39 p. m. train from Puiladelphia to Atlantic ity, known as the “Seyenty Minute- Flyer”, is actually the fastest regularly acl-eduled pas:enzer train in the world, The distarce from Chestnut street wharf to the Camden terminus of the railroad is about a mile and atalf, and the fer- ry boat trip and transfer of the passeng- ers from the boat to the cars occupies ten minute-, This leaves sixty misutes for ther sl ridv, and that is precisely the time allowed by the eche’ul - to cover the flity-five and a half miles which inter. vene betwern the Camden depot and the station at Atlintic City. A little fizur- ing will show that this ts a speed of six- tv-five seconds to the mile, or the rate ot fift:-five and @ half miles per hour, best- lng the former record six seconds per mile and »Imost five miles per hour, I: should be understood that this refers to the speed of regularly scheduled trains over the «nti e length of their scheduled rung, »nd not to mere pl:enomen:-! burats of speed or stretches of fast running to make up ‘or lo:t time or delays, Tie rate of flity-five and a half miles is ex- ceeded vyery dsy on the Reading Rauil- road, and possibly on sone other lines, but on no rail:o:d in the world, so far as known, is there a train run from «nd to end of its route at so greatan average speed a3 that of the “Seventy Minute Flyer.” When the latter was established it was not with the purpose of breaking a record, but the officials was confident of thei: a- bility to run a train safely and promptly in the specified time or lese if requir d. It was det: rmined, however, to limit the i train to six «ars to msure quickoess, This was found to be impracticable, and for more thin a wek the train has been carrying eight cars, including one or more beavy Pulimans, and making scheduiv timeon-very trip.
