RAILROAD BUILDING

The Activity IN Steel Rails indicative OF
What May BE Expected In 1890.
While the coal business is fiat through
out the entire anthracite region, the steel
rail industry of Scranton could not be
brisker than it has been for many months.
The immense mills Of the Lackawanna
iron and coal company and the Scranton
steel company are being rNn to their full
capacity day and night. In one week
this month the converting works
of the latter company manufactured
1869 gross tons of steel in
gots from its two 615-ton convert
ers. The managers assert that this
product IS the largest ever turned out
anywhere in the world in a single week
by two converters of six and one-half
tons capacity, and that it beats that
city's record by Ala tons. During the
same week the company thirty-two-
inch reversing rail train, which is the
largest in the world and run by an en-
CINE of 5000 horse power, rolled 1874
tons of finished steel rails. This is said
to be the largest quantity ever rolled on
one rail train in Scranton in one week.
The activity IN the steel rail business is
the best indication of the activity to be
experienced in railroad circles this year.
From what can be seen now it Is evident
that 1890 will be big year in railroad
construction, and that the South Will do
the biggest part of 1t.

How it is Necessary to Secure Low Rates
and Fill Texas with Settlers.
THE PASSENGER RATE WAR.
FORT WORTH, Tex, March 80, 1890.
To the Gazette.
CHICAGO, ILL. March 25.-Talking to-
night with a representative of the associ-
ated press regarding the cutting of pas
senger rates west from the Missouri
river, Mr.. Townsend, general passenger
agent of the Missouri Pacific, said he
wished to deny the charges that his road
is cutting the rates in the spirit of 'tpi-
racy.' The Missouri Pacific, he said,
maintained the same stand it has since
the beginning of the trouble, that it will
meet competition wherever found. The
cutting of rates has been done, he said
to meet those of the competitors and by
direct orders of President Jay Gould.
The question has often been asked by
citizens of Texas, through the columns
of THE GAZETTE, whats the matter
with Texas, and why is it that Texas
can't have low rates from the old
states?''
Mr.. Townsend, general passenger agent
of the Missouri Pacific railway, an
swers this question in the above clip
ping. He says, "the Missouri Pacific
railway meets competition wherever
found. -
There being no competition between
the Texas lines on passenger business
coming to Texas from the North and
East, we get no reduced or cut rates.
Instead of competition to Texas, we have
combination. Therefore the rates are
firm, hence nothing in the way of low
rates to induce people to come TO
Texas. This is the case in Texas
while to other new states they have
lively competition, which results in low
rates, and in this way the tide of home
seekers are induced TO and do go to the
states that are favored with low rates.
Why can't one or more of the Texas
lines make rate TO Texas in proportion
to the rates being made TO Kansas, Ne
braska, ETC., aud see If the Missouri Pa
cific railway will follow? AS it is now,
none OF the Texas lines are doing any
passenger business TO speak of from St.
Louis and east thereof, when, IL they
would reduce the rates, ali lines would
run full coaches, the result of which
would be that the people would come to
Texas and settle, and then the railroads
would have double--yes, treble-the
freight 70 haul that they now have.

AN INGENIOUS INVENTION.
a Train Signal that 'tfs Said VIII Prevent
Trains From ColIiding.

Trains From COlliding.
On the New York Central and Michi-
gan Central railways a very important
test is being made Of the Font inc time
signal recently perfected by Mr.. Fon-
taine of Toledo, Ohio, an invento and
mechanical engineer of unusual ability,
which merits more than passing notice.
IT has long been regarded as very impor-
tant that some appliance should be pro-
vided which would inform the locomotive
engineer how much time has elapsed
since the last train in advance had passed
and Mr.. Fontaine has undoubtedly solved
the problem. The test to which his sig
nal has been subjected has been very ex-
acting and thorough, ana it has worked
as perfectly as it is possible for auto
matic mechanism to work. Only few
DAYS ago a number Of railway men and
others went out On the Michigan Central
from Detroit to witness its performance,
including Assistant General Manager
Robert Miller, Division Superintendent
d. S. Sutherland, Hon. John T. Rich,
railway commissioner of Michigan, and
his mechanical superintendent, Mr..
Clinton B. Conger, and the results were
not only satisfactory but caused much
surprise.
This signal is thus described by the in
ventor:
The object of this time signal in con-
nection with the mile post is to indicate
the length of time that has elapsed since
the last train passed the signal, whereby
the engineer in charge Of the train fol-
lowing may keep safe distance behind
and thus avert the danger of q collision
arising from the trains following each
other too closely. A lever projecting in
close proximity TO the raj is operated by
the passing train, by which means
substantial mechanism designed for
the purpose is set in motion,
marking the time on a dial placed in such
position as to be distinctly visible to the
engineer night or day, aud indicating
the time elapsed, up TO twenty minutes,
which may be considered a sufficient
length OF time for the proceeding train to
be out of danger IL will work equally
well by a train running any rate OF speed,
fast or slow. The indicator is set by the
first wheel of the locomotive without
further impact from the other wheels of
the tram and the register of time begins
Immediately after the train has passed.
A company with 81 600, 600 capitaIiza-
ton has been, organized at Detroit to
manufacture and introduce the signal.
Among the stockholders are Joseph Tay-
lor and W. X Anderson of the Michigan
car works: J. d. Norton, president
Merchants and Manufacturers bank,
Pontiac, Mich; d. r. Shaw, Mer-
chants and Manufacturers national
bank, Detroit; Eugene Fontaine, R. b
