which were literally crowded with ladies and
with the Stars and Stripes floating over the
Locomotive, the train moved off. It run through
the principal streets Of the city, made good
time and demonstrated its capacity to move
heavy loads and susceptibility Of being hand
leo with Oil the ease OF an ordinary road wag-
on. The train halted in front Of the Seymour
House and our city artists-W. c. Williama
and g. B. Hare-took sketches of it With 4
photographing apparatus.
The Proprietor-Mr. Brown-who has been
some years engaged in the invention and con.
struction Of machinery Of this kind, and the
Engineers-D. L. Osborne and G. B. Slote-
who are experienced locomotive drivers and
practical machinists, all expressed themselves
satisfied at the result of the experiment. The
machinery is all new and does not work %
smoothly ss it will, but the success 90 far, ct.
tending their movements, exceeds the expscts-
tons Of the most sanguine.
In the experiment Of Saturday, the WEIGHT
of the train would not fall much short Of ten
tons sndth maximum speed attained while
running was about 8 miles an hour. The train
will leave this city early this week for Denver,
Colorado and on its return, should it prove
successful, the enterprising Proprietor viii i'm.
mediately put on the road some locomotives Of
less weight and greater speed for the purpose
Of carrying passengers express, freight and
mails. While out this trip he will establish
stations to supply wood and water and leave
on his return everything prepared to accom-
modate the several trains, which he intends to
put on the road Nebraska City Peoples
