5000 Locomotives.

The Baldwin locomotive works, Phila.
delphia, have just completed and shipped
engine numbered 5000. The first loco
motive built at these works was turned
out in December, 1882, and il took 20
years, until November, 1852, to build 500
engines. The second 500 engines were
built in eight years, number 1000 being
finished February. 1860. The next six
years saw the third 500 built, number
1900 leaving the shop July, 1866. The
fourth 500 were built in three years, by
October 30th, 1869 the fifth 500 in two
years; and the sixth and seventh 800
each in one year, engine number $500
leaving November Goth, 1873. Business
then slackened, three years being re-
quired to build the next 500, and two
years the following 500, engine number
4500 leaving December 18th, 1878. Then
trade improved, 500 engines being built
in fifteen months, md 1000 more engines
in twenty-five months, while 500 more
engines were finished in ten months, mum
ber 6500 leaving December 9Th, 1882 and
marking half-century for the works.
The next eight months saw 600 more
built, and before the close of 1884 num-
ber 1900 was turned out Work has
again slackened, and nineteen months
were required for the final 500 locomo-
tives, number 5000 having just left the
establishment. It is noteworthy that one
half the whole number, and these by far
the heaviest and most elaborate engines
that have been built, were turned out
within the last ten years, the first 1000
requiring forty four years TO build.

the Prince Of Wales, and destroyed them
both; atterward be executed q third,
supposed to have been Of an entirely op-
posite character, which he entrusted to
the keeping of Wake, archbishop Of Can

rendered the viii to the new sovereign,
when, to the mild surprise OF those pres
ent, his majesty put the document In his
pocket and walked out of the room. Nor

copy of the wil-understood to convey
large sums to the duchess Of Kendall and
to Lady Walsingham- had been depos-

Chesterfield, who had married the Wal

ceedings in chanoery, but to have been
ultimately induced to accept 100000 in
