GENERAL RAILROAD NOTES.
B. ". Peterson &. f., will probably have
charge of the Benwood extension of the T.,
w. & X. road having been offered the posi-
ton by Engineer Becker
Secretary of State Stalnaker, yesterday,
placed on file the minutes of a meeting OF
the Winifrede Railroad Company, OF Phila-
! delphia at which the capital stock OF the
company was increased $4,000, making it
| $780, 600 instead of Sl5O,OOO.
| To lessen the number of robberies on
railways the Chicago Tribune proposes that
| there shall be a safe in each sleeping car
where passengers may keep their valuables
under lock and key.
The DAILY patent coupler, designed by
! Hugh Daley, at the Capitol, and owned by
| him and Secretary Stalnaker, is believed to
| be iirst-class invention. 1t is automatic
| and saves brakemen from the danger OF
| going between cars when coupling them.
! The device is in the link, which has hook
like end and couples itself. Hugh thinks
there's millions in IT, and will give it a
practical test soon.
II is reported that the new Baltimore and
| Ohio Telegraph Company has connecting
lines with five hundred and thirty-fve
points in the United States, and thirty
| three points IN Canada, and that in a few
weeks it will complete a continuous line
from New York, via. Baltimore, to all the
| Western cities This, with the new ocean
cable promised under the control OF the
same company. will soon give the much
needed competing lines with the Jay Gould
monopoly.
Mr.. James P. Curry, Auditor of the Sci
otto Valley railway, has been rendered the
appointment of Auditor of the New York.
| Chicago and st. Louis railway, and will I'M
doubtedly accept The offer came from
Vice President Caldwell, and is a hand
some compliment to Mr.. Curry's ability as
railroad accountant. Mr.. Curry came

Valley road, where he has been some five
years as Auditor and Secretary, and, aside
from his superior business qualifications,
he is good fellow on general principles
