CONTRCTs.

A Washington dispatch to the Chicago
papers gives the following information as
to matters pertaining to the Rock Island
Arsenal.
A very large number of contracts are be-
ing received at the Ordinance Department
for the supply of building material and
ordinance supplies for the Rock Island
Arsenal. This Arsenal is being pushed
rapidly to completion under the effects of
the 1886, 600 appropriated for the purpose
by congress at its last session. Several
permanent improvements are also made.
The Secretary of War before leaving
last night signed the agreement between
the Moline Water Power Company of
Illinois and the United States, as required
by the sundry civil act, for the year end
ing June 80, 1883. The company there
fore relinguished all claims to its water
power. consisting of water power pools,
canals, dykes, ETC., in and around the
Rock Island Arsenal and the government
agrees to make necessary permanent and
yearly improvements. This action settles
long standing and vexatious question,
and relieves the army of an embarrass-
ment.

No one outside the railroad business has
any idea of the dangers and perils to which
brakemcn on freight trains are subjected.
These perils are much greater in the winter
than in the summer. Rainy, sleety nights
convert the roofs of the freight cars into
simply death traps, and the records of rail
road mortality show that more brakemen
are killed by slipping from the tops of their
trains than from any other cause To OBJ
viate this constant danger the railroad
managers have called the attention of mas
ter mechanics and inventors to the possibil
ity of devising some means whereby an
automatic brake could be applied to a
freight train. This problem has been un-
successfully struggled with for years.
