Diary. Among the passengers on the Polynesia,
which was quarantined recently because of
smallpox on board, was a child sent out by rel
atiyes to join her parents in this country. The
little one was placed in care of family who
promised to see her on her journey to within q
few miles Of the town in central New York
where her parents are now residing. The child
passage was paid to New York, and to insure
money for her journeying beyond that city 500
francs, or S119: was sewed in her clothing. The
unfortunate child was one of the early victims
OF the smallpox, and when the Polynesia
reached quarantine she was sent direct to Riv-
ersde hospital Her clothes were burned and
her money was destroyed with them. She has
now recovered, the family who took care of her
as far as New York have gone west, and the adj
dress Of her parents is lost. In this quandary
the commissioners of emigration have decided
that the child Is q pauper, and are treating her
as such. The child is being cared for, and an
effort made to trace her relatives In this coun-
try, but there is no fund to repay the girl the

Letter to the Minneapolis Tribune
They now have charter, which allows them
to form q company and build one nile Of their

OF technical terms. Its chief characteristic is a
single rall elevated upon line Of posts at q
height of fourteen feet from the ground. It Is
called q single, though perhaps q more correct

nected by series of braces. The supports of
posts are placed at distances Of forty-hve feet

The truck frame Of the cars is placed astride
the rail like saddle upon the back of a horse,
either side two Of these wheels run upon the
lower part Of the rail, inclining upward and
outward from the point OF contact at an angle
placed horizontally under, the car and level
with the top Of the rail- along the sides of which
they run, one upon either side. By means Of
they are made to clasp the rail tightly, and by
this power of traction the forward or backward
motion is secured. Each wheel has an indie
pendent axis Of its own, and by most ingeni-
GUS contrivance under the car the opposing
wheels are always kept at right angles with the
rails regardless of curves. Some of the curves
may be very sharp; steep grades may be over

The truck frames Of the locomotive are like
those of the car, with the connecting rods at
tached to the horizontal wheelsupon either side
Of the rail. The pressure of the wheels upon
the rails is such as to make it almost impossi-
BILE for them to leave 1T, but In case this should
happen the car could not leave the track. It
would simply drop an inch and half and slide
along. resting upon the top OF the rail, the

TT, The cars are Of novel pattern, cylindrical in
form and built of iron. In carrying out their
plans for this unique railroad, the builders have,
OF course. to guard against horizontal strain
upon the rail, which surface roads have nothing
to do with, but they are confldentthat the pre-
cautions they haye taken will make accidents
almost impossible: People are very quick to
laugh at the idea of putting an engine and cars
fourteen feet from the ground upon single

ffgit tntpection of engineers and other scientific
men wonderfully well, and nobody has yet
risen to prove THAT the principles on which it is

From the New York Times, 23d.
The trustees of the Church of the Messiah, an
Independent Congregational church in Newark,
barred the doors against the Rev. H w. Brown,
a SO called evangelist and faith cure minister,
to night; on the ground that he was turning the
church into a hospital. A meeting of the
'chufYh members was then held, and after a
two hours session 1t was resolved to continue
the meetings for this week. Brown is the man
wis has worked some alleged wonderful faith
cures, and has travelled through this country
and Europe with Moody and Sankey He was
engaged by the Rev. Mr.. Floyd, pastor OF the
church, to conduct these meetings during June,
and was owing to the fact that he devoted these
gatherings to faith cures that the trouble arose
a number of the trustees resolved last Friday
night not to allow him to preach, and as a re.
suit number of the congregation took sides.
and indications pointed to serious trouble out
side the church door tonight, inasmuch as the
pastor talked Of an Injunction, but this was set
tied by the action of the trustees.
