I’lTTßßtma, Eeb. 2-‘>. The Pennsylva
nia railroad company ill heal its passenger
cars next season, with steam. An oflii tal
says the work of equipping the cars will
be pushed from now until all are com
pleted. The number of ears now in ser
vice and that will is? hereafter heated with
steam is between I,2ooand l,. r )00. and it
will cost somewhere near 1220,-
000 to do the work. The
gentlemen claimed the change would ben
efit the railroads in a financial way, as the
engines would burn very little more coal
in order to beat the cars, while by the
present system they are the losers to the
price nf several thousand tons of anthracite
annually. The experiments that have
been carried on here are perfectly satisfac
tory to experts, as they say a violent con
cussion will break the connection with the
engine boilers, so that there will lie no
danger of scalding and no possibility of
tire.
