Ravages of the Polar Wave Elsewhere.
From the St. PAU Press Jan. ISL

The same bleak Tuesday morning a man named
Lee, with his son. left Sioux City, Iowa, in a wagon
for home. some twelve miles southeast, and were
overtaken by the terrible storm OF that day, and
both persisted. The body of the boy was found
next day in the timber within few miles of home.
The team found its way home on Tuesday evening
with the empty wagon. Many narrow escapes in
that vicinity are related, and as the weather was
unusually pleasant when the storm suddenly burst
forth it is. feared that others must have persisted
on the praries.

What was true of the Egyptians was equally 80
of the Jews. With them the love OF perfume
held quite as large a place as that of love OF

The evils which grow out Of the contests fol

least on the contrary they become more and
more demorAlizing. case in point Among
the offices to be filled in Kent county, Nd, this
fall, is that of Register Of Wills, and for the
nomiEation two very popular gentlemen have
been working with unremittlng zeal SO effec-
tive we're their lsbors that when the nominatio n
day came round, each had carried two districts
of the county, while the fifth gave its vote to an
other gentleman. The County Convention then
referred the matter to a vote of the people in
the odd district, but when the day Of election
closed the question was still undecided for each
candidate had just 222 votes. This part of the
contest was extremely disgusting, if We may
credit the published reports for money was freely
used and as much as &4S is said to have been paid
single voters. Last Tuesday. however, the
County Convention again met, and very wisely
threw both candidates overheard, taking up
another gentleman.

The Hartford Courdnt has been inve stigating
the speed Of locomotives, and reports as fol-
lows:
en- Railroad, said that he never yet run an en-
gine without cars attached as fast as it could 60
The stories in the papers about an engine run
ming eighty or ninety miles an hour are absurd.
We have, he says, as good engines as any road
in the country, and there are not many that can
run over mile q minute on a light train. An
engineer who is getting all he can out of his ma
chine is often very apt to lind the second hand
of his watch come around just little before
the mile post is passed. There ia an impression
prevalent that an engine will go faster with two
or three cars behind just to steady it. This is
fallacy. Every ounce of weight detracts from
speed. Express trains on this road used to run
faster than they do now, but it didn't pay. In
1854, Just before the Sunday night mail train
was put on, there was an effort made by the
four roads forming a connection line between
New York and Boston to see how fast a train
could be run. The train consisted OF only two
cars, and no passengers were carried. On this
road the engine New York b. II. Hunt, en-
gineer, on the trains trial trip, ran from Spring
field to Hartford, 26 miles, in 30 minutes, three
minutes being lost in slowing down over the
bridge at Warehouse point. From Hartford to
Meriden, 18 miles, the time was ~ minutes, and
from Meriden to New Haven, like distance ~
minutes. This was certainly a great achieve-
ment for an engine with a 14-inch cylinder, 90
inch stroke, and 515-foot driving wheel. After
permanent arrangements were made for the
train, each road was obliged to keep up to the
timetable or forfeit $500 on each occasion when
it was to blame for the delay. On the Boston Il
Albany road, the 54 miles between Springfield
and Worcester were run by the engine whist
Ter" 16.inch cylinder, 22-inch stroke 6Ii-foot

mishap, the engine on the New York road did
not make good time. One of the best runs OF
the road was made by the special train under
charge of Superintendent Reed conveying thu
Grand Duke Alexis in 1871. The engine 'Mercu

Haven to Meriden in 20 minutes, from MerideI
