The Relatives OF the Persons on Board the
souder Hoping for the Best.

Throughout yesterday the Office OF Clyde
4 Co.. the agents OF tho lost steamship Emily
Il. Souder. was visited by the relatives OF the
passengers and crow, many Of whom begged
piteously for further news. Tho steamship
Gamma. which arrived from the Bermudas on
Sunday evening. did not. as was expected.
bring the two rescued seamen. Neither did
she bring any news from tho wreck.
Shipping men commented ON the fact that
nothing is said in the dispatches relative to the
life raft which tho i'll fated vessel is said TO have
carried. The hypothesis OF tho agents that for
that reason it must have been used as founda-
ton of the raft the survivors say they saw En-
Rineer John Ticc constructing. IL thought to be
too absurd for consideration. Sucn RATS con-
sist Of two long and water-tiRht metallic
cylinders. They have great buoynncy and
strength. and In some cases are capa-
bio OF supporting Mt least q dozen per-
sons. To make heavy scantling or timber

imperil the cylinders. 1t is thought that owing
to the insecurity OF its fastcnings on tho lurri-
cane deck th9 ite ratt Was ca,riod away IN tne
that one OF the boats after being lowered from
the davits was useless. Seamen say that that
ie probably the result Of carelessness. On some
ships boats are made fast to tho hurricane
deck. bottom up and exposed to the sun. u 10
many the streaks OF wales are crncNed, rem
dering them useless. On well-Ordered vessels
boats are covered with canvas, hung on the da-
vns bands to prevent them from striking against
the davts while the vessel Is rolling. Unless
boats are regularly inspected. II Is often found,
on launching them. that the plugs are out
John Tice had had experience in the man
agement and construction of RATS. having,
when ship was lost. made raft and noated
thereon for ten days.
Persons familiar with the West Indian ISL
ands say that there are only few Of them that
have Geographic communication with the main
land. and that. therefore. there is good reason
to hope that either one or all Of the boats have
reached n harbor or have been picked up by
passing vessels bound to such ports.
Mrs. j. NJ. Cazneau. the widow Of Gen. Caz-
neau, had premonitiOn before smiling in the
SOuder that the ship was not safe. She consulted
Capt. FOOte. a former commander OF the ship.
He assured her that the ship WIS seaworthy.

She married twice. William Storm. an inventor

ELEYATED RAILROAD NOISES
PerfeetiuG New Plans for Materially Abating
Them-How the Model Works

or all the plans for lesscning the noise
made by the elevated railroads. none have been
regarded by engnec rs with greater favor than n
design OF Mr.. o. C. woosons. an assistant en-
ginecr OF tho New York Elevated Railroad Com
pany during tho construction OF their trestle-
way. working model OF this design erected
in room IL OF the Coal and Iron Exchange. at
Cortlandt and Church streets. was exhibited
yesterday. This model Is twenty feet long and
is divided into two parts The first ten feet are
made to resemble as nearly as possible the
present structure Of the New York Elevated
Railroad. and the rest is constructed in ac-
cordance with the new design. As a result.
the difference in the noise made by the wheels
Of the car that is run over the two sections may
be readily determined by the eur. This differ
ence Is strikingly apparent. hut TO make even a
rough estimate OF the percentage OF noise thus
lost or eliminated is impossible. The inventor
himself places 1t considerably above 80 per
cent.
This lessenlng Of noise is produced by m
improved tie or sleeper An ordinary juniper
tie r. split longitudinally. Then blocks Of hard
wood are placed in the centre and Mt either
end. and the two pieces are holtcd together.
This leaves space between the two sec
tons OF the tic Immediately under tho part
upon which the rails are to rest. In these
spaces are placed tightly fitted bands Of hard
rubber, The result gives considerable elasticity
TO the tie So much so. In fact. that when the car
was run yesterday from the improved to the
old section the difference in the noise was like
the difference so easily detected hy the car
when a. train runs from a solid roadbed upon u
trcstlc bridge.
The invention relates 10 the construction Of
the railroad ties and guard rails Ia such man
ner rs to permit them 70 yield bv ncNure. under
the pressure ~ passing tram. 10 such an eN-
tent as materially 10 lessen tn coneussi ions on
the roadway, Gnd also on the rolling stock Of
the road. This diminution Of shocks will il
Ia thought. necessarily reduce in uart the CON
cussions impaired 10 the surrounding air and
a prOportionata reduction OF the sound waves or
noise il r. thought. will result.
On tho Metropolitan Elevated Railway the
boarding up Of the under side Of the tracks and
filling in packed sand covered with asphaitum
on each side OF the rail Is giving So much salts

A RAILROAD TO TEXAS.

The prospects of the early completion OF
the railway to Houston, via Morgan City and
Vermillionvllle. are greatly encouraged by
the intelligence we have Of the work done on
the section from Orange, the terminus OF the
Houston branch on the Sabine to Lake
Charles. From the last reports OF the pro-
gross of this work we are led to believe that
trains will be running between Houston and
Lake Charles by the first Of December. Mean
time the Intervening work from Lake Charles
to Vermllllonville and thence to Morgan City
ID being prosecuted with large force and
great energy. There are strong reasons to
believe that by January. 1880, this section will
be completed to Lake Charles, and then the
whole continuous line will be In order for daily
trains to this city.
The contamination OF this great design
witt be al occasion of great rejoicing and
hopefulness In this city. No other event
could occur which would justify more en-
thusiastc demonstrations Of popular joy
fuIness on the part OF our citizens. 1t will be
the realization Of % long-indulged DEAN.
and brilliant one. 1t will be the proclama-
ton to the world that New Orleans has at
last secured the position to which she was
entitled by nature, Of the chief port and en-
porium Of young empire which Is destined
In not many years or decades to vie with the
richest and largest iii the world In oil the
elements OF wealth and power.
