Savannah News . The statements
filed with the railroad commissioners by
the railroads of their gross receipts and
net earnings for January show a very
startling falling off in receipts and earn
ings. - This is more especially marked in
the case of the ' Central than any other
line. The Central railroad's receipts
for January,. 1892, were only $176.66ft9,
as against $309,145.53 in January 1891;
the net earnings were $5).59r$.50 j last
January. as against $154,215.74 a year
hfnre. or iust about one-third. .The
Richmond and Danville fell off from
t.72.375 69 in 1891 to $52,74t.09 in 1893.
the Georgia railroad from $193,088.11 in
1891 to $116,750.74 in 1893. the Western
and Atlantic from $167,000.84 to $116.-
600 30. The East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia shows a decrease- of only
$5,000 for the month of January as com
pared with last year, and the Atlanta
and West Point shows a neat increase.
It is evidently a " bad year for railroads
and especially - for the Central. From
the receipts it would seem that; the
Central did not handle much over one
half the freights in January that it did
in January. 1791. ' -

THE TROLLEY SYSTEM.
False Impressions of Dangers From the
- Charged Wires.
Just at this time the people of Wil
mington are taking a lively' interest in
the subiect of electricity; especially, jn I
connection with the .new street' railway,
and it may be well to remove the. pre
judice that exists against the trolley sys
tem for propelling cars.' A Philadelphia
expert who is thoroughly familiar with
that system gives expression to his views
as follows : -
'As to the element of danger, there is
a deal of ignorance and false impression.
due very largely to prejudice. As a fact.-
the dangers from the trolley system are
insignificant when compared with other
forms of traction. . even the ordinary
slow-going horse ,car.. The - greatest
voltage given to a trolley wire is 500 volts
for one car or. fifty cars, or even more,
but the prevailing idea is that because it
requres a voltage-of 500 to operate one
car any .greater number of cars -will re
quire a corresponding increase in volt
age, the same as v in electric : lighting.:
That matter is entirely regulated by the
feed wires from the power house, and at.
no time will the voltage exceed : that;
and by the time-it reaches the motor
under the car it is very 1 frequently re
duced as low as 460 v6ts-s'"-:'i Vi:-v.;
"Another argument advanced by the
opponents Ot the system is that increased
speed could .not be secured, because of
an ordinance regulating that speed and
of the danger attending a high rate. As
to the latter there is not in existence
to-day any form of traction, not even
the horse car.' where the car can be so
easily; and rapidly controlled - as by the
trolley system. -
"While it might be injudicious to run
even a trolley car at a very high rate of
speed in the crowded portions of f the
city, there is no reason after the car
reaches the . suburban or less crowded
streets why its speed should not be in
creased, and this can only be accom
plished by the trolley. Another feature
is that the cars can be both lighted and
heated by the same current which drives
them.
"There are now in the United States
over three hundred different , roads, ag
gregating over twenty-six hundred
miles of track, on which cars are operated
by the trolley system of electric powen
These cars during the past year carried
over 700,000,000 passengers without loss
of life or; injury to person in any in
stance, so far as it is known, by the elec
tric current. In fact, it is claimed by
railway managers that no such instance
has occurred since the overhead trolley
was put in operation. ' Of cc urse persons
have been injured by coming in contact
with the cars, as they are now by" col
lision with horse cars, but ' none " have
been so injured by the electric power or
electric wires used in the operation of
streetcars."-"'j '-'v 'lyj
