From the PHILADELPHIA Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
The Baldwin Locomotive works have lust
turned out q remarkable specimen of work in
tended for remarkable purpose. It is
passenger engine constructed for the Reading
road, to be run over the Bound Brook route
between this city and New York, in which
service it is expected to eclipse anything of
the kind going. 1t has oeen built chiefly for
speed, aud if the expectations of the contract
ing parties are carried out, the time between
this city and New York over the above route
will be lessened about half an hour. The dis
lance from Philadelphia to New York is nine
ty miles, and the fast trains over both the
!. Pennsylvania and Bound Brook roads have
been making it in about two hours. The
Reading people are shining to make the dis
lance in one hour and a half, and with this
object in view they some time ago contracted
with tie Baldwin, company to build them an
engine that would perform that work, or, in
other words, accomplish ninety miles in nine
II consecutive minutes. The new engine has
the largest pair Of driving wheels, perhaps,
of any passenger locomo tive in this country,
the wheels being six feet and !. half in dame
ter. The ordinary driving wheel Of passenger
engines has q diameter Of from five to Eve and
half feet. Tho new engine is different in
other respects also, having but ono pair, of
driving wheels instead Of two additional
smaller ones, IS is the usual custom. It is
also much heavier than the regular passenger
engine :, its weight is about $4,000 pounds,
while the ordinary engine weighs from 70, 600
to $4,000 pounds. It's expected to make the
entire distance to New York without stopping
to take. water. That this may be done it is
supplied with tank Of about twicethe ca
pacity Of engines in general. twill hold
9, 900 gallons Of water. The capacity of the
ordinary passenger engine is from 1000 to
$500 gallons. This new engine, which was
taken oct Of the works few days ago and is
nov at Read;ng, will Be put to use on the
Bonnd Brook route within : week or ten
days. Should The at.ompt e thus lessen ' the
time between Philadelphia and New 70 York
prove successful other engines viii bs put
regularly on the road. II s5sss

Rev. D. ", Rosenkrans, of this village, is
the author Of a new book by the title of. "Ele-
meutary Catechism." 1t is religious work,
US its name iraplies, and is being published by
tho Congregational Publishing Society, Of
Boston. Mass. It is not a large sized work,
containing only seventy three pages, but the
author has evidently put more real work into
this than is usually required for much larger
and more pretentious volumes. Nearly every
line has required research and study. The
author states in the preface that the following
words from q letter Of Rev,J. w. Wellnan,
D. D., express the motives which induced him
to undertake the work: .g~sr,,s ,.,s7s f->~a-r
"One thing is certain: there is very gen
:eral and lnmentable ignorance respecting the
distinctive teachings of Revelation. Many
members of our sabbath schools and attend
ants at our churches do not know what are. the
leading truths which God has communicated
to men, and cannot answer the simplest ques-
tions respecting them."

Frank Houde's new mansion lacks a
roof, but he wont need it until it rains.
Prairie fires are numerous and in
some cases quite destructive. Last week
Ole Larson lost about seven tons of
hay and a stable, and L. W. Aver lost
about four tons of hay and some fenc-
ing. Yesterday o. A. Coe lost about
thirty rods of fence and narrowly escaped
losing his house and barn. ALI of the
above fires were set by fire from locomo-
tives on n. p trains.
G. W. Shipman, of Anoka, has taken

The policy of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul Railroad company is. shown
to some extent by the following special
telegram to the Pion eer Press, dated at
Chicago, April Is:
ut is understood that the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul is trying to get
control of the Chicago, Clinton, Dubuque
and Minnesota railroad, and if it secures
it the Chicago & Pacific will be extend
ed northwest from Lanark to Galena,
where it will connect with the former
line. This would give the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul direct line from
Chicago to La Crosse, and would give it
a dlrecc Chicago outlet for both the
Prairie du Chen and St. Paul divisions.
Thus all the lines of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul would be turned di
rect to Chicago, and make this point the
terminus of all the lines of this great cor
poration."
