For years the Pennsylvania railroads have
made first class watch part of their engine
equipment. Every engine upon the road has
its watch numbered to correspond with the
number on the engine. The watches are
purchased by the company and controlled by
the proper officers. In the office of each d.
vision the Superintendent hangs a watch
makers board with numbered hooks for all
the engines belonging to that division. When
the engine goes out upon trip, the watch is
taken from the hook When it returns, the
watch is replaced, and while in the Office is
run with the regulator. As consequence all
the engines upon the road are being run upon
a uniform time and no record has yet been
made of an accident resulting from a discrep-
ancy of watches Gyeeley (Col.) Tfi5Vne.

accomplished this, he left as expeditiossly as
he could, and in the quiet and candestne
manner In which he came. The matter was
kept in comparative secrecy until about the
assembling of the House, when intelligence
Of it got abroad, and was rapidly comnuni-
Gated from person TO person, SO that in a
very short time the news had been spread
throughout the city, and the curiosity of the
public aroused to the utmost extent. In ad-
dition to the fact that he had signed his name,
it was stated that he intended to take his seat
10 the house, if not during the afternoon,
certainly during the evening session And
still further to increase the excitement the
Guards had been ordered out, and while a
number Of them were put in charge OF tbs

conspicuously on the streets. Sergt. Lamb
