An IMPROVED RAILRoAp.-Mr. Carpen-
ordinary Iron Railroad calculated greatly to diminish
the liability not utterly preclude the possibility of
train running of the track undsr any circumstances
/ The improvement consists Of middle Rail OF Iron or
Wood running the whole length of the track precisely
in It's center and raised foot above the side
bearing Rails Friction rollers are attached TO the En-.
CINE and Cars beneath, to play upon the sides of the
middle guiding rail whereby the motion of each car
stesdied and any tendency fly the track
rested. This seems to very good thing, especially
since will prevent any break down or smash-up In
ease Of wheel or axle giving out-A friend at Rome
