The Philadelphia and Reading Coal & Iron
Company has issued circular fixing freight
and toll after the Goth of October upon anthra-
cite coal from Shuylkill Haven by canal to
New York harbor and beyond at forty-six per
cent. OF the price at which the coal is sold at
the point OF delivery, except for pea coal, tho
ratio for which is seventy per cent. The present
rate Of Sis per ton from Schuylkill Haven by
Schuylkill canal TO points above aud on tho
Delaware river is continued. A second circu-
lar announces that after the Goth of October
drawbacks will be paid upon anthracite coal
shipped from Port Richmond to points beyond
the capes of the Delaware as will reduce tho
freight and tolls from the mines to forty We
per cent. of the net price of the coal, free on
board at Port Richmond, for lump and steamer,
thirty-ive per cent. for broken, egg, stove and
chestnut coal, and sixty-ive por cent. for pea
coal, provided that the minimum rate from
the mines to Port Richmond shall not be less
than eighty.fve cents on pea. If consigned TO
points within the capes of the Delaware tho
regular drawback Of thirty cents per ton and
the extra drawback of thirty cents per ton
will be continued.

passed, which is done by an assistant who
touches an electrical key at each post. The
alignment OF the road-that is, the curves and
| straight lines-are recorded by a pen In a
similar way. pen next to this is connected
with wator meter attached to the feed-pipe
| OF the locomotive and records the quantity Of
water consumed at different times and places.
sun another pen Is arranged so that an as
sistant in the locomotive records every shovel
ful OF coal as it Is put on the fro. The samo
pen has been used TO record the time that
black smoke escaped from tho chimney. A pom
is also provided which records the distance
run by the car, and another records the indi-
cations Of an thermometer placed on top of the
car.
The fourteenth pen gives record Of tho
surface of the road, and shows at glance any
inequalities that exist. Besides the above
there is also attached TO the machine finely
constructed migrating apparatus The pens
used to record the numerous phenomena con-
nected with train resistance, &c, consist Of
small glass tubes, which are drawn to fine
point and filled with eozine, ono of tho prod
ucts Of coal tar dstillation. A half grain Of
this Is dissolved In an ounce Of water, and
makes beautiful red color.
one experiment that Mr.. Dudley is at work
ON for the Boston Il Albany railroad is TO de-
termine the efficiency of the 42.inch wheels
they are now using upon some OF their cars.
as compared with tho old standard wheels OF
thirty-three inches besides this, many other
interesting experiments arc being made, Of
which we hope TO give some account when
they are completed. Mr.. Dudley has had this
machine constructed Mt his own expense, aud
is prepared to make Investigations for roads,
many OF whom do not care TO go to the expense
in this line of investigation that the Penn
sylvania Central, which employs large staff
OF officers for this purpose, does, and which,
judging by the successful working OF that rail-
road is money well expended.
| This subject of train resistance is one Of
great Importance in the working of railroads
successfully, and with the demand of the times
for low rates upon local Ms well as through
freight is worthy the attention Of all our rail-
| road officials

On Monday morning, as George Snyder, the
ice man, was delivering ice at the drug store
of Van Duzen Brothers, on Wall street, he took
a cake of ice weighing 200 pounds, and as tho
amount to be delivered there was only 100
pounds, cut it in two. About the centre of the
cake was discovered young black bass, which,
ON being cut out Of the ice was found frozen
as stiff as stone. The ice had been harvested
from the river last January, and so for eight
months tho fish must have been in the ice in
a frozen state. Seward Van Duzen ono of the
clerks in the store, thought to himself that he
would try an experiment in reviving the fish.
He put him in sprinkling-pot in which was
cistern water of the ordinary temperature.
For about half an hour the fish showed no
signs of life at all. After that time had
elapsed he WAS noticed to move his tail. He
was transferred to glass globe, and shortly
afterward was swimming around as though
he had not been locked in tho cold embrace
of cake of ice for the greater part of year.
Pieces of cracker were thrown into the water,
and the fish ate them. The globe containing
the fish now adorns one of Van Duzcu Brothers
counters.

Not Guilty of Munsiauch,er.

Tho trial of Samuel Emery, jr., indicted for
manslaughter in killing James s. Coombs, on
last Christmas afternoon, concluded Yesterday
with the acquttal of the accused. When tho
court convened the District Attorney made tho
closing argument for the Government, aud fin
ished at Has o'clock. His Honor occupied
half an hour in delivering the charge aud
the jury retired at 1920. After being out one
hour and Il quarter they returned with vcr-
dict of acquittal. Before it was received
the court instructed the blililS to pre-
serve order in the chamber aud bring before
him any offender. Consequently it was AN
nounced in silence. Mr.. Emery received the
decision of the jury quietly, and few friends
near congratulated him on the result of the
trial Shortly after he withdrew from tho
chamber.

Mrs. Forster, Georgetown, s c., has been re-

America. The tree is in most luxuriant foli-
age, and is covered with more than 1000
flower buds. which will blossom in a few days.
This specimen offers u convincing proof of tho
successful growth of the plant in this country.
The soil in which the tree il kept, the same
in which it grew, is Il dark sandy loan, almost
identical with that of the tea.growing regions
of China aud Japan. The tree, like others OH
the plantation of Mrs. Forster, has been al
lowed to grow too rank, from want of proper
Knowledge in tea culture. None of the leaves
now on the tree are fit for tea-makng, but
next spring it will be covered with tender,
young foliage, which will be good
