were called in, and everything that could

The jury rendered the following verdict:
In accordance with the testimony, we,

STEAM MOTORS.

Gen. GwINNER, OF the pennsylvania
Central railroad, lately gave expression
to the opinion that all the narrow guage
railroads, as well as the numerous
branches and short lines of railroad
throughout the country, would soon be
operated by the steam motor or dummy
engine, and that this change is all that Is
necessary to make such roads profitable !;
and the experiment when fairly tested,
would encourage the construction OF such
roads wherever there is sufficient populs.
ton to give them business.
This suggestion is new, and at first
thought may appear to carry but little
significance, yet coming from one of the
first railroad men of the country, one
whose experience, intelligence and per-
spicuity give peculiar emphasis and con-
clusiveness to any opinion he may ex-
press in this connection, its consideration
may have an important influence upon
the several railroad enterprises now be-
ing sgitsted in West Virginia.
There are at this time three or four
different projects on foot in the State Tor
building narrow gusge roads, all OF which
are depending on the solution OF the ques-
ton, will it pay?" There is the pro-
iected road from Fairchance via Morgan
town and Fairmont to Clarksburg;
and the one from Morgantown
to Klngwood; and from ParkersburS to
Charleston, for the completion OF any
one or all of which the capital could be
raised if the people were satisfied that
they could be made to pay.
General GwINNER's opinion is there
fore in point. He says if these roads
were operated by the dummy engine In
stead of the ordinary locomotive, they
could all be made to pay. He is not a
man so loose and profigste with his opln-
ions as to be caught saying what
he don't mean, or what expert
ment will not confirm. Nor Is
he without reason for his
faith in tho dummy. There 49,
ne says, difference in the original cost
OF the locomotive and dummy OF about
$4,000 in favor of the dummy; differ
ence in the expense of fuel OF about fifty
per cent. in favor of the dummy, and a
difference of fifty per cent. in the wear OF
the road in favor of the dummy. With
the light weight cars OF the narrow
susge road the dummy will do the work
of the road with ease, speed, cleanliness
and increased comfort.
We hope this suggestion will receive
due consideration in connection with
such enterprises in our State. In the
operation of railroad, those details
which appear to the inexperienced to be
of little significance, work surprising re-
suits in the matter Of economy.
