A Remarkable Engine.

There has Just been completed IN a railway
machine shop at Wilkesbarre, Pa, a locomo-
tive which, it is expected, will be able to pull
a train on the New York Division of the LIE
high Road at the rate o. eighty miles an
hour. The engine weighs nearly 100, 600
pounds, and the tender. when filled with
coal and water, 10000 pounds. 1t is stated
that the engine will Develop from l 400 TO
1900 horse power. The great speed claimed
for this engine is attained by constructing
the cylinders with the steam and exhaust
entirely independent This is done by using
fewer plain slide valves known as gridiron
valves on each cylinder. The valves are
worked by peculiar arrangement of valve
gear, in which the motion is taken from the
connecting rod, and working entirely on
true centeTs, there being no slight surfaces;
the steam valves being independent OF
the exhaust, and vice versa, and point OF
cutoff or expansion can be obtained without
the corresponding back pressure, and over
compression can also be changed without
altering the point Of cut off or expansion, so
that the same sized cylinder will give much
more power at a given pressure than can be
obtained by the link. To get the full benefit
of this the engine carries 100
pounds boiler pressure, the boiler
being constructed of steel espe-
double riyeted, with "a inces for its smallest
diameter. The hre-boX is IL feet, with 236
two.inch tubes, and the total heating sur.
face being 1873 square feet. The crate area
is $40 square feet. The engine is also fitted
with an independent steam. pump and a
heater for feeding the boiler so as to put in
water at nearly the boiling point, the heater
being under the boiler. The pump being in
dependent can be run when the engine is
standing, and just fast enough to keep an
even gauge of waite when running Tne
arrester is so arranged that all the sparks
are thrown down into box, forward of the
smoke arch, and are there carried to the end
of the run and dumped the same as the
ashes The spark arrester has been in use
for some time, and has proved Satisfactory.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The first sign OF return
ing vitality in Washington is the preparation for
the session OF the Supreme Court The dust which
has gathered thickly on the long bench where
sits the highest legal tribunal OF the country, is
being raided by the busy isnitof, and the old
courtroom, the scene of so many noted events, is
being put in order Cor the approaching term of
court. The corps OF clerks who have been enjoy.
ing rest during the long months which have in-
tervened since the adjournment are welcoming
the approach OF the session. Not only are those
directly connected with the court interested but
host OF others. The return of the Justices and
their families is signal for society to resume its
long-suspended animation. Next to the wife OF
the President the wife of the Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court is considered the head Of society,
and those who have mourned the absence OF the
leaders in the social world viii soon mourn no
more. The handsome residence OF the Chief JUS
tice on street will soon be put in order for the
return OF himself and family. They are usually
the last to take their departure and among the
first to return. The home of the Chief Justice is

social season here, and the Chief Justice

installed as the pastor on the 18th Of
February, 1851, and remained some fourteen
years. During his ministry a handsome
church edifce, Tor hat period, was built On
SchermerhOrn street, then quite a distant
part of the city. This building was dedi-

whole property was about $4,000, OF

DIR. Talmage was called from Philadelphia,
and his installation took place in April,
1869. The edifice became so crowded at the
end of the first year that it was determined
to erect large structure near it on Sober
meThorn street for the use of the con grega-
ton. In 1870 a structure covering six city
lots was erected which was called the "Tah-
eTnacle." The great organ used in the
Coliseum in Boston during the music al

this church, and removed to Brook,

December, 1872, just before service
the entire structure was consumed by fire.
Until the completion of the resent enlarged
tabernacle, services were regularly conducted

Boycott Blaine,
The Rovcotter.

The BOycOtter
Considerable anxiety prevails as to the
course of Typographical Union No 6, during
the coming campaign. This is due to the
fact that the union has announced its inten-
ton of boycotting James G.. Blaine, because
the only morning paper in this city which is
UNFOLDING the candidacy, the New York
Tribune, is a rat sheet, the proprietor OF
which broke written contract with the
union, and its editor daily denounces and
insults trades unions The union has not
taken this step hastily. Only after mature
elaboration among its members on the out
side was 1t allowed to enter into the discus
sion OF its meetings
Now. however, that it has assumed the i'm
portance OF a national question, a word or
two OF explanation may be deemed neces-
sary.
In the first place, the union disclaims all
desire or intention to injuIe or abuse Mr..
Blaine personally. In his private life he
may be, and doubtless is, a very estimable
gentleman. With that the union has moth
ing to do. But in his public capacity, In his
position as the chief supporter of a news
paper which is arrayed against organized
labor, it has everything to do. 1t demands
that he, or his friends for him. shall make a
public avowal that the New York Tribune is
not the organ of the Republican party, and
that 1t shall not receive any patronage from
that party, and until this avOwal aud Off
cial reputation is made, the policy of this
paper will be to boycott the New York
Tribune and James G. Blaine.
The anxiety referred to is as to "who we
are going for" Typographical Union No. 6
begs to announce that it has but one invari-
able reply to make to all such inquiries, and
that is that it is going to boycott the New
York Tribune and James G Blaine. Every
thing is subOrdinated to that. 1t will not
seek to boost up anybody, but it will endea-
vcr to pull down James G. Blaine, because
he is the candidate of the New York Tribune,
the editor of which is his strong personal
friend and the unions most deadly enemy.
Therefore, under no circumstances vote
James G.. Blaine, because a vote for him
means the political preferment ssOf the New
York Tribune and the political advancement
of its editor, Whitelaw Reid. With this ex-
ceptIon every workingman who believes in
honest politics is at liberty to vote for who
ever he pleases or not vote at all.
