PLANS FOR THE B. & o. FREIGHT
YARD AT BERLIN.-The area of the
B. & O.'s new yard at Berlin will be-
about two miles long by about 500
feet wide. The main tracks will
spread at either end and bind upon
each side of the yard. The main Sid
iDgs, one on each side of the yard,
will be Immediately inside of and
parallel with the main passing tracks.
Inside of and parallel with the main
sidings are the bases of the diagonal,
from and between which are laid the
diagonal tracks running at an angle
of about thirty degrees. or these di-
agonals there are to be seventy, each
with capacity of As cars, on the
basis of 81 feet space for each car,
measuring from bumper to bumper.
This gives the yard an aggregate ca
pacity inside of base of $3.50 cars.
Each diagonal will connect with the
base on either side by easy switches.
The bases will connect with the main
Sidiugs at Intervals of ten diagonais,
but such connections may be increas.
ed to any number desired. The main
tracks will have only two connections
with the yard, one at each end so that
passenger trains may not suffer the
slightest delay. The diagonal tracks
are to be numbered from one tosevep-
ty.
Each diagonal will be reserved for
its own particular train. For instance,
Nos. l, 2, 3, and may contain all
cars for Locust Point, and none other;
number 5 and 6 only those for Cam
den Station; number Z, and for
Philadelphia, 10 and II for New
York, II and 10 for the Valley, IA for
the Hagerstown branch, Is and Is for
Washington, II, IS, 10 and 20 for
Pittsburg Division, q to 80 for the b.
& 0. Southwestern, etc. So that in
ordering out an engine and crew for
d Locust Point run say. the yardmas
ter simply directs: "Find your train
of % cars Tor 80 or 40 cars as the case
may be- on No. g." By the peculiar
construction of this yard there is no
danger, it is claimed, of blocking it.
Thirty to forty switching engines can
work in the yard at the same time
without interfering with one another.
Incoming freight trains will pull into
the main siding from the main track
at the end of the yard, and from the
main siding to the base, where it is
left to the switch engine, the main
line locomotive and crew proceeding
to the rOund-house.
The round houses, warehouses, &C.,
are TO be at the west end of the yard.
The entire yard at night will be as
bright as day with the use of arc
electric lights. The establishing of
this complete system of distribution
is regarded by railroad men as a
long stride in the direction of modern.
izing the B. & o. An expert has ex.
amined the plans for the yard, and
has given them his approval. 1t will
he the only yard of its kind east of H.
linois.
1t is probable that the officials will
IN the neal future increase the length
"f freight trains to As cars. Twenty
eight is the usual number hauled by
one locomotive at present.

afflicted with the grip disease from
the smaller children to the oldest
members. Where the system was in
good order, the sickness didn't take
serious hold; but where persons had
been complaining from other causes,
or were not in good trim, the grip
took firm hold, and held on for sew.
eral days. The disease does not seem
to have spread mnch in the country,
but in towns and cities there were
hundreds of thousands of cases.
Church exercises, schools, &C., were
interfered with; railroads and street
cars couldn't keep on time in some
places; police forces depleted, facto.
ries run on half time, &c. There were
a number of deaths in the cities, and
several suicides from the effects of the

More oranges Being Planted Than
Ever Before.
A recent visitor to Ontario reports that
he was surprised to find how much that
section of the country has improved and
how thrifty everything looks in that
neighborhood. More orange orchards
have been set out during the past twelve
months than ever before and already
10000 boxes of that fruit have been
shipped. For these the growers obtained
from 50 90 to $2.75 per box, and as the
money has gone into circulation there
everybody appears to be prospecting. A
number of Eastern people have recently
purchased land there for settlement and
the indications are that the orange acre,
age will be doubled in short time. The
people have not been slow either in the
matter of public improvement. Among
other things the street-car line which
ran up to the mountains has been turned
into an electric line; the power house has
been built and in short time the electric
machine will be in place and the cars
running. A number of new residences
have been recently built and there is no
sign of dullness about the place. The
people of Ontario believe that another
boom will be here shortly.
