DRASTIC r. BL ORDERS.
They Arc Expected To-day , Follow
ing Report on X. Y. C . Railway.
Following the prosentation of the report of A.
L MeLlmont. electrical engineer, who has been
Jnvertipatinjr the equipment and service of th«
>.Vv.- York City Railway Company, the Public Ser
vice Commission in all probability will Issue to
es-, orders directing the receivers for that com
pany to make vast improvements. This report, It
1f expected, will show prievoos faults in equip
ment and service of a low order.
For two months Mr McLimont. in charge of a
force of about ten of the commission's most in
telligent inspectors, lias been conducting <*• thor
ough investigation into the equipment and service
of Th<> street railroad lines. He. and his men have
examined car?, car barns, power houses and tracks.
They have gone over the rolling stock minutely.
notinp p<-nerHlly a multiplicity of flat wheels, un
clean cars, and many minor defects in cur equip
ment. Thpy have inquired generally into the quali
fications of the conductors and motormen. their
hours of labor, pay and gen-ral conditions of ser
vice.
The specific findings which the report of the
rrcmee- will narrate are heinsr suarded with care.
Sufficient of its peneral character is known,
thourh. to warrant the assertion that the orders
issued to th« receivers for the. traction company
based on Mr. McLimont 's summary of conditions
«•!! deal drastically with the situation. More cars
will be demanded, it seems likely; repairs of con
siderable magnitude ordered for the "cripples"
winch are now forced to do duty. Tl.e management
without much doubt will be called to task because
of the many defects in car equipment, the looseness
cf management which docs not guard better
scainst the delays and irregularities in car service
and the character of pome of the employes.
The nature of the report of the engineer will
not be made public by the commission even when
the orders are issued. These orders probably will
provide for hearings within a few days, and the
commission desires to reserve the ammunition ur
nished by the report for those hearings. It 13 al
together probable that this report, too. will play
an important part in the subsequent investigation
into the general financial condition of the Inter
borough-Metropolitan lines, when that inquiry is
resumed some time after Christmas. The cost of
equipment and the mo:, y spent for electrification
of surface lines are subjects from which interest
in revelations arc expected.

AFFECTS W RAILWAYS.
Actual Construction in Time Limit
Must Be Begun.
Übacy, IMrr 10.— In a decision pivon out to
flay the Public Service Commission in the M Dis
trict defines its policy as to the character of con
etrucUoa that must actually be bejrun by holders
of a certificate of convenience and necessity for
Mml surface roads, granted by tlie former State
Board of Railroad Commissioners to secure them
from the possibility of a revocation of their cer
tificate, under Section SSA of the railroad law. The
r,ew commission holds that when the holders of
Well a certificate, giving them authority to con
firm a road, fall to begin construction work
within two years the commission may at its dis
cretion annul the certificate.
The decision is the result of an application made
for the annulment of the certificate granted the
Rockland Railroad Company. Chairman Stevens,
writing the opinion for the commission, lays down
the general rule that the construction required by
la".- is actual physical construction: that attempts
to obtain local franchises are not a beginning of
construction, but merely attempts to obtain th«
light to begin construction, and that burveya and
engineering work before the granting of the certifi
cate of convenience and necessity in order to pro
cure a certificate are not a beginning of construc
tion.
This decision. It is announced, affects about forty
street surface railrcad corporations which have
not begun construction within the time limito.
About twenty or more steam railroad corporations
li a similar position are not affected, owing. It is
explained, to the law passed in 1895 extending the
Urae fcr all. steam railroads for three years from
dale. Chairman Stevens holds that this law does
net -• ; ly to street surface railroads.

A. H. SMITH 0\ T TRIAL.
i •
Supreme Court Jury Listens to
WoodlaiL-n Wreck Testimony.
The examination of witnesses in the trial of
Alfred H. Smith, vice-president and general
manager of the New York Central lines between
New- York and Buffalo, who is charged with
manslaughter in the second degree in connection
with the Woodlawn wreck on February 16. was
begun before a jury in the Criminal Branch of
the Supreme Court yesterday. Ira A. McCnr
mick. formerly general superintendent of the
electric zone of the Central now president of
the Roanoke-Cumberland Railway, was also in
dicted on a similar charge, but was discharged
yesterday so that he might be called as a
witness.
Mr. Smith, represented by Delancey Mcoll,
John LindFey and A. H. Harris, vice-president
and general counsel of the Central, was charged
by Assistant District Attorney Smythe in his
opening address with having permitted a motor
man of little experience to run a train at a high
rate of speed around a curve, the defendant be
ing in charge of 7,000 miles of track at that
time. .
"This defendant put a man in charge of this
train who had no experience with the new loco
motives except during four days along a track
about two miles long," said Mr. Smythe. re
ferring to E. R. Rogers, the motorman of the
ill fated train.
William S. Tracy, who was employed as an in
spector of air and wheels under S. T. Case, of
the Central lines, testified that on the night of
the accident he had examined the running gear
and found it in good condition, except that the
shoes were off the locomotive. To this was
added the evidence of Samuel Brlckford. foad
foreman in charge of equipment, who declared
that he ordered two lomomotlves coupled up
after the motorman had asked him if he thought
it safe to run the single locomotive with one
pair of shoes missing.
A blue print giving a tabulated list of the offi
cers and superintendents on the Central was
then introduced by Mr. Nicoll, who showed that
Mr. Smith had charge of 50.908 men. Mr.
Brickford said that he had seen Rogers, the
motorman. twice before he had come under his
direction, and that ho believed him to be one of
his best men after the four days of instruction.
E R Rogers, the motorman, testified that In
running the wrecked train noticed a slight
jar as he passed under the .Woodlawn bridge
and a flash of light ahead. He brought the
train to a stop, found one car. attached to the
motors and went back to where he found the
other cars. The train schedule was given as a
speed gauge between Woodlawn and Williams
bridge. It was shown that the distance. .'JJ
mile, should be run in a minute. - . (
