TRIAL TRIP OF TRAIN OF IMPROVED CARS
On Thursday morning a train of ten improved
freight cars, manufactured at the shops of the
Orange and Alexandria Railroad Company mad
a trial trip far as Springfield and returned
These cars have been built upon an improved
plan, designed by Mr. Thos Nichols, suPerin-
tendent Of the car shop Of the Orange COMPANY.
In these cars the usual method Of joining the tim
bers by mortise and lennon is abandoned, and a
newly invented plan Of joining the timbers by
strong cast-iron braces substituted Ii has been
found by experience that the former method,
while 1t required more work diminished the ze
and consequently lessened the strength Of the tim

ted, and, under the strain to which cars are sub
Jecfed, gave way. Under the plan Of Mr.. Nichols,
the iron bands which unite the frame work to-
gether require little or no cutting Of the timber
are not liable to be injured by water, and Of
course, never rot. They strengthen the cars very
much, and give II a solidity in vain sought for by
other methods Other improvements have been
made to the cars, and they have been made larger
than ordinary to accommodate cotton and tobacco
ffeights. Sixteen Of the improved cars have al
five Of which are already under the hands of the
skilful artisans Of the car shop. There has also
recently been rebuilt passenger car, the painting
Of which was executed in fine style by Mr.. G. d.
