Narrow Gauge Railroads.

These railroads are attracting great
deal of attention at this time in this coun-
try, sand several are being constructed
where it would be impossible from the
nature Of the country to build a railroad
in the ordinary manner" The gauge is
only three feet. Of course tins class of
roads are not intended to take the place
lof the wider gauge, but only to act as
auxiliaries the main lines, or thorough
fares, and to furnish transportation for
products, coal, minerals, and railroad
transportation.
.'In Wales large number of these
railroads are in successful operation, and
are found to yield 80 per cent profit on
the capital invested, which is certainly a
good return /"
The passenger coaches nsed on these
roads are similar to street ears, the, seats
being arranged in a line along each side.
The rate of speed is about % miles an
hour The freight cars carry about five
tons each.
The cost of constructing such a road
In this county would not exceed $4,000
per mile, and could be built for much less
If seantling with fat iron bars are used
instead of the iron rail. A road of this
kind could be built from Woodslield to
Darlington, along the valley of Sunfsll
Creek forless money than a good Mead
aniized road could be built. 4;
The width Of the grade would only be
from 6 tot feet wide, while in ordinary
railroad tracks they are from IA to 90 feet
wide and as great speed and heavy bur-
den trains would not be an object, this
road could be built with curves of small
radius; Che grade could also be made
much greater, rise and fall, to the mile
than the ordinary railroad. The maxi
mum grade might be increased l2O to It's
feet per mile for short distances without
Inconvenience.
The maximum grade of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroads. 116 feet to the mile
On the Virginia Central Railroad, on the
mountain top tract at Rockfish Gap, the
maximum grade is 295 feet per mile, and
the least curvature 234 feet radius ON
grade Of 237 feet per mile; this slopeis
500 long with an average grade of 257
feet per mile. Up this slope one engine
draws a load of so tons at the rate of Z
miles per hour.
The cost Of grading could be greatly
reduced by avoiding heavy cuts and high
fills by making shorter curves and an in
crease of grade in short distances, and at
the same time have sufficient speed to
make the trip to the river and back inside
of two hours running time. Such road,

ket, while the smaller dealers feel no

Whitney have been the leaders IT the
Board OF Brokers, and their operations
gave a tone to the market when II was

1t languished. The events of the last
year, however, we're too heavy for

Yesterday Mr.. Mark Mcdonald an

pay dollar for dollar Of the claims,
amounting to $4l,00 against him,
and he resumed his seat with the de-
c~laration that he should henceforth do

Mr.. McDonald's engagements IRE al
ways respected. Mr.. Whitney will
resume his seat on his return to the

has been q prominent broker, whose

RUNAWAY AT THE P4RK.-Quite an
exciting runaway occurred at the Park
yesterday afternoon, Just after the con-
clusion Of the first heat of the last
race. A pair Of horses attached to a
buggy In which was seated n. Fl.
Schultz, better known as "Cap. Schultz"
Of Richmond Grove, suddenly, and
without any apparent cause, ran away
inside the Enclosure, which was crowded
With vehicles Of every description.
They soon succeeded in upsetting the
buggy and tearing themselves loose
from 1t. Schultz was thrown out and
received one or two slight bruises about
the head, while tho buggy was smashed
almost out of all semblance of that
style of vehicle. The horses ran on
across the Enclosure and collided with
the team harnessed to Judge Crocker's
buggy, causing them to suddenly turn
short and upset the vehicle, throwing
out two ladies who were seated in 1t,
and badly springing one of the axles.
Luckily the ladies wore not hurt. The
runaway horses were then caught, and
found not to be injured. Soon after
another team took fright, aud ran
away, but were captured before they
did any damage.
