RAILROAD EQUIPMENT LAST
YEAR
Large Increase lu Cars And Locomc
uves.

From the Railroad Gazette.
The enormous railroad building of 1857
must naturally nave been followed by larry.
additions TO equipment The year lsSS va,
one of reduced net earni q and heavy *
pensts nevertheless the output of locomo-
uves vas probably greater than IN any lr,
ceding year. except lss2, and the on put o.
cars has been very close to that of l~S7, IL
not gres'er, and probably greater than in an,
other one year Lat January We pubhshe
the Ger of locomotives buit yearly b,
nineteen private firms from lS-0 10 lsS7 ia
elusive No attempt WAS made to get tn
lumber built by the railroads. The create,
umh, of locomotives built BY these nine
teen firms vas 2>2, in lsS2. In So the,
built 2.0i4 In lssS seventeen firms huih
, $50 locomotives, and sixty-six railroa,
companies in the United States and Cansds
built $50 This is undoubtedly very pea
the whole years output The seJenteel
firms of locomotive builders include all o.
the large builders, and all hose product ha
been important.
The cars for freight service built in lsS-
were. by thirty seven firms. g. $50. and b
sixty six railroads 1870, or 62,Ig0 in all
II is impossible to say what percentage
but it must be a very large part of the " ole
In lss7 the cars bull, to run in freight SCI
vice were by fifteen cars work 23,7-5 an
ny tseuty nine railroads i26. or 30 .aOl i
all II is seen that the number Of cars bui1
increased in lsss in greater ratio than tn.
number of companies reporting. which in it
self would indicate that the output has ac'
ually increased On the other hand. tho>
car-huiiders vhp rPpArtsI in hath wars al

more cars in 1857 than in l>>s, the net re
suit for the fifteen firms being decrease OF
about per cent in the latter year. This il
the closest approximation that our return,
all enable us to make TO the relative activi
" of the freight-car business of the tw,
years.
The same ear works and railroads report
cars built to run in passenger service as fol
lows; By thirty-six car works, 1854; b.
sixty six railroad, 5l7; total 2.+.l. l.

built 1859, or 100 in all In every case where
one car company has reported for both years
the product of lsSs is considerably increased
over 1857, and il is fair presumption that
the passenger car business was generally
more active in lsss. There were four
works that built over 800 passenger train
cars each. On the whole, in spite of thu
great falling of in railroad construction. al d
notwithstanding the decrease in net earnings
the year 1858 was one of the three years of
greatest output of rolling stock, and the
amount turned out was nearly if not quite
equal to that produced in 1857 and 1882.

Rad Accident

The first of last week John Coss
and Leonard Hamilton, two young
men of Clarence township, were out
hunting. They we're moving along
some few yards apart, when a covey
of quail few up between them. HAM
ilton fred, and part of the contents
of his gun lodged in Coss' face. One
shot struck his heavy. felt hat, pene-
trated the rim and. q. metal clasp on
the hat-band and glanced against his
skull. This shot we are told, would
doubtless have entered the brain had
it not been for the metal clasp on the
hat-band. Another shot did more
damage. 1t entered the ball of one
eye, passed through and either lodged
in the nose or behind the other eye.
DR.. Lightfoot says the eye may not
be injured if inflammation does not set
in too severely. These were the only
two shot that struck him.

An Elegant BANQUET.

That is the universal verdict of all
who attended the Masonic banquet on
Friday evening of last week. There
were in attendance about one hundred
and fifty ladies and gentlemen; the
most of them members of the Masonic
order-the ladies, the clergy, and news
paper men comprising the invited
guests outside of members of the order.
Opening the program of the evening
Rev. B. F. Boyle, of Larned, delivered
an excellent address upon the beauties
of Masonry, bringing before the I'M
initiated some Of the great advantages
of the order, it's aim andj its work for
good in the land. Songs by quartette
of excellent voices added to the enjoy
ment of the evening.
Upon repairing to the dining hall,
below the castle hall, where a mag
nifcent spread of all that was palat-
able and delicious awaited them, the
guests sat down to a banquet that would
be hard to excel. Heiko Feldkamp
