we learn from the JOhnStOwn Tribune
which probably gets its information from
some other paper, that the Bells Gap coal /
mines at LloydSville, this county. are being
run To their utmost capacity. and the EN-
plnyes are getting all the cars they can load,
and that, too, at fair prices Four miles
further on, along the line of the extension of |
the Bells Gap Railroad, on the EdmiSton
farm, the Great Bend Coal Company are !
opening 4 drift, and expect to commence !
shipping within a month. A mile further /
the works of J. :. Mccartney are progressing

MTNUIE.--A new fast LOCOMOTIVES was turned
out of the p. r. +. shops at Altoona several
days ago, and two trial trips were made over
the eastern slope OF the Mountain Division
which, although not conclusive, proved quite
satisfactory. This ponderous pirce If ma
chineTv, as has previously been Statrd, is de-
signed for use on the Jersey Division" of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, and was built for
the purpose or covering the distance, about
ninety miles, between Philadelphia and Jpr-
Sey City, Just Opposite New York in rs many
minutes Wednesday she was taken to Hun
tingdon, and test Of her speed made on the
return trip. From Huntingdon to Altoona
the line of railroad is tfirty-fO miles, and
the run was accomplished in fOrtY-five min
utes, but there was some time lost by a
green block, which is used as cautionary
signal. One mile was run in fifty-pight sec
oUds and another in fifty-nine seconds and
throughout the trip tie engine behaved very
well. 1t is a tremendous piece Of mechanism
and, although finished veIy plainly is well
