above the center and resting the angle in the
oil box, so that every motion of the car causes
the waste by its own gravity, to pack more Sc

The boxes are held in parallel positions by
wrought-iron frame forming three sides of
square, with continuous grooves near the outer
edge in which the two boxes slide down, leaving
space between them for the body of the rollers
to revolve, the journals entering the oil boxes
through the side which is protected with the
dust plate before mentioned. On the top of the
frame is an adjustable plate provided with cross
grooves that fit over the upper ends, and the

A Grand Time in Prospect.

The coming biennial convention of the Express
mems Aid Society promises to be grand affair.
While the meeting is called for Jacksonville,
Fla, it will be held in the spacious cabin of one
of the fine steamers run on st. Johns river, the
freedom of which is extended by President Plant,
who has always taken deep interest in this as
ISOLATION, and will be present. The officials of
the Southern Express, under whose auspices the
convention is held desire understood that there
will be passes furnished all good expressmen and
a hearty Southern welcome to the land of flow
ers. Passes for free transportation over forty
railroads. covering 1920 miles of road, have
been provided by the respective railway man
agements, compliment which will doubtless be
appreciated by expressmen.

Miscellaneous Notes.

The West Shore G. Buffalo road has leased pier
l, of the Iron Steamboat Company, for $40 OOO
per year. This company is getting into shape to
do a big export business.
Ten days ago stock of the Connotton Valley
road sold in Boston at l cent; preferred at 6
cents. Yesterday common stock sold at Is 81
on the dollar; preferred at % cents.
It is stated that in the west-bound Boston pool
the Boston & Albany is to be allowed A per
cent, Fitchburg p per cent, New York e. New
England 20 per cent, and the Central Vermont
IA per cent.
So light are the exports of grain at the present
time that European steamers are reported by the
New York Sun so hard up for freight that they
take crude petroleum in barrels-a thing which
has never been heard of before
A bill has been introduced before the Legisla-
ture of New York to the effect that the rate of
fare for each passenger carried by the Boston &
Albany Railway Company over its line in that
State shall not exceed cents per mile.
The Grand Trunk is given a differental upon
passengers between Boston and Chicago for the
longest route. The West Shore is given differ
entail between the same points, although it is
the shortest route. Pools are queer affairs.
The official board of the City of Mexico recon-
mend that the citizens decorate their houses for
the celebration of the opening of railway com
muncaton with the United States, in May. The
indications point to an enthusiastic celebration.
New York merchants are said to be unani-
mously in favor of a strict maintenance of rates
west bound from Boston, as rates cannot be
much lower from Boston than from New York
to the West without New York merchants and
New York railroads feeling it.

500 lunches per trip, the pay from $50 to $50

the company makes some money--more, it is safe
to say, than any other freightcar company in
the United States.

More Animal Food for Young Chickens.

Germantown Telegraph.
We do not think that we can be mistaken in
the belief that we should be far more successful
in the raising of young chickens by giving them
a great deal more animal food than we are in the
practice of doing. Corn meal mush, boiled pota-
as all know, the principal food of young
young birds should be exceptions to the ordinary
rule of young birds in general, which feed very
largely, indeed chiefly, on animal food even
those which, when they are mature live mostly
on fruits and seeds, are fed when in
their nests on worms, grubs and insects. We
notice the old birds all day long busily engaged
in supplying their young with food, but always
with animal food. In fact it is very rare that
we have seen anything else Why, then, should
chicks be an exceptionl The recommendations
almost without exception, in our poultry publ
fowls if we expect them to give us more eggs,
especially in winter, when they can help them
selves to none. That it is great inducement to
make them lay more generously we have too
many proofs to admit of any doubt. Besides, it
is claimed that animal food has other advantages
in the way of good health, etc. Why,
then, let us ask again, shonld the young chickens
not be benefited with at least a moderate supply
of animal foodl All chicken raisers know the
great losses always suffered in the growth of
them, and may it not be owing to n large extent
to the withholding of so much benefit to the
matured birdl We therefore suggest to our
farmers to change their method of feeding their
young chickens by giving them due proportion
of animal food, chopped up in very small pieces,
and thus find out. each for himself, whether it is
not a very decided benefit in raising to maturity
an additional number of he chicks into strong
healthy fouls

THE HOME POOL,

Roads in the Chicago and Ohio River Pool
Maintaining Rates.
L. D. Richardson, general manager of the Chi
eago and Ohio river pool, is in excellent humor.
Pool matters are moving along very smoothly.
There seems to be little cutting of rates, and
where it is done, it is mostly on passenger bust
ness, and by agents to whom it is as natural to
cut rates as to breathe. When these fellows
caught, however, the respective manage
ments redeem the tickets at full rates without
any ifs or ands. The tonnage with the pool
roads is increasing, the last few days. and indi-
cations are that the property is carried at full
rates. Every day demonstrates the fact that
the per cents. awarded by the arbitrators could
hardly have been more fair, and the railroad
officials who were the loudest in their complaints
of its unfairness, gracefully admit they might
have Jared good deal worse had less intelligent
men made the awards.

A RAILROAD COMMISSION NEEDED.
Hundreds of Miles of Road in Indiana Not
Safe to Run Trains Over.

Hundreds of Miles of Road in Indiana Not
Safe to Run Trains Over.
An old-time and experienced railroad man
says that the time has come when Indiana
should have competent railroad commission
one composed of practical men, such as Joshua
Staples, Colonel NJ A. Downing, Colonel D. F.
Whitcomb-men who know what a good road bed
is; men who know what are remunerative rates
to railroad and as well what are shippers
rights; men whose judgments cannot be easily
warped or biased. Indiana is behind in this mat
ter. although one of the leading States in it's
railway mileage and facilities for transportation.
The fact is there are to-day roads operated in
this State which are not safe to run trains over.
They have been built in a sham man
ner. The only object of the projectors and the
contractors who built the road was to build it at
fifty cents on the dollar of what they received
for the work. In the last five years there have
been roads built in this State which are to-day
bonded from $40, 900 to $25, 900 per mile which
botched and done cheaply, the only object of the
contractors being to build road which will pass
the inspection of a committee of the bondholders.
who usually know nothing of the real value of
the work. If u civil engineer accompanies them,
he, nine chances to ten, has been "doctored, as
the saying is. This may seem rash talk, but
prominent railroad attorney says he can bring
ample proof that hundreds of miles of road have
been built and passed inspection in the very
manner above stated, and practically un-
safe, and railroad commission which is com
petent to fill such a position is one of the i'm
portant needs of the State of Indiana.

An incident which we believe has never

did some other damage. About 5 o'clock

on the side track at this place. Two
brakes were set, but they were not
enough to hold it, and it ran through the
split switch without being derailed, and
started east.E The traciS>was nearly level
where the train started, but there is
down grade this side of Akron. The
wind was so strong that it took the train
more rapidly than the passenger trains
over the line move, even on the level
track and when it reached down grade
OF course the speed became something
fearful. The operator at Akron noticed
the runaway train soon after it broke
loose, and sent the alarm down the line,
Everything was ordered side.tracked, and
the crazy train had the right of way.

Marvellous as it may seem, those runaway
cars ran over one hundred miles, passing
eight stations, over a track which is for
great part OF the distance almost perfectly
level, with no propeling power but the
wind. They ran the one hundred miles
in less than three hours, and the station

strange train held their breath with awe
as it whirled by at the rate of nearly a

rate OF forty miles an hour, and is said to
have run the twenty miles down grade
