PATENT APPLIED FOR.
A New Car Brake Utilizing the Momentum OF
the Car-Supposed Improvements for
Coupling.
E. P. FORD

Mr.. J. J. Crist, an architect, in the city
has made application for a patent on car
brake, a car bottom and two different
methods for making couplings. 1t is the
result of sixteen years of work or occasion
al work, as he says, giving the question
attention at such times as he was not en-
gagged in his regular work. When he
commenced investigation in the matter he
lived near Cincinnati, Ohio, and had Oc-
casiOn to study similar subjects and finally
branched out for brake. The application
for patent was filed nine weeks ago and he
has had several encouraging letters from
the department and so far it has not been
discovered that his efforts have been en-
croached or patents issued to anyone else.
Many railroad men who have examined his
work express the opinion that he has
made a valuable discovery and it
will certainly in bringing him
handsome returns. The theory is
thought to be all right but what
the result of practical application will be
is not known until investigation is made in
that line.
The most striking feature of his investi-
cation is the brake. 1t is so arranged that
the coupling gives when the cars press to-
gether and, by means of a cOntrivance in
the center of the car the brake shoe is
pressed on the wheel. The more the car
presses forward the harder the shoe will be
forced against the wheel. 1t is estimated
that a train going twenty miles an hour
could, by reversing the engine, cause the
brakes to lock dead the hind wheels of each
carrige of the car and the average passen-
ger train would be stopped in less than the
length of itself. The brake simply utilities
the momentum of the train. Each car is
supplied with brakes independent of the
others, and Mr. Crist is quite sure one of
his cars would brake itself between cars
supplied with the same brake. An ar
rangement is also provided to make the
brake inactive should it be so desired. 1t
desigded for passenger coaches and
freight cars and it is thought
can be constructed for much less
than the air brake and do the work equally
as satisfactory and it is thought that in
due time the Peerless brake" will be
known quite as well as the Wrestling
house"
The improvement claimed on coupling,
shows coupling with hook and stationary
link. The car bottom improvement shows
a design TO be utilized mostly in grain
cars. Mr. Crist by correspondence has
greatly interested a company in Chicago
engaged in the manufacture Of cars and he
yesterday sent a design to them, explain
ing everything. He is much encouraged
and is sure that if he has any thing he has
something of value and Importance.

The Amount of Money Paid Ont for Cattle,
Hogs ana Grain on This Market
During the Past Week.

The cattle receipts have been very light
owing 20 the break in prices. The buyers
have stood by the market very well and no
serious breaks have been noted here. The
market closes strong and the prospect very
good for the early part of this week. The
hog receipts for the week were the heaviest
in the history Of this market, and had the
decline in prices been less severe, there
would have been 10000 hogs on the market.
The week has been a hard one on shippers
as prices have declined % to cents every
dan They made the best of the market and
found no fault, saying they could not ex-
pect it 20 come their way always. Should
the market advance 2]z@5c during the
early part of the week there viii probably
be 10, 600 hogs on the market during this
week.
The grain receipts have been heavy and
prices have ruled steady TO strong. In
fact, the weeks business on the grain and
live stock market makes a grand showing
for the week and puts many dollars into
the pockets of the farmers Of southwestern
Kansas The amount Of grain received
during the week Is 100 GOO bushels, amount

A LITTLE MINED.

A prominent gentleman in writing to
the Topeka Journal, protesting against
any action upon the part of the governor
and of the Kan-Campbell meeting, SAYS:
Il would like to call your attention to the
character of the men of the committee on
resolutions. Major J. c. Rutan, chair
man. is secretary of the Kansas Loan and
Trust company; A. A. Hyde Is president of
the Hyde Stationery company; II. w.
Everest is chancellor of Garfield univer-

FOR THE PARK SYSTEM.

The Mirror endorses the EAGLES kinder
garten system to its park article last Sun
day in the following terse paragraph:
And we venture the assertion that it's il
lustration portraying the possibilities to
be secured by the expenditure of moder-
ate amount of money in park lands and
improvements carried more conviction
with it than did the column and half Of
flOwery rhetoric accompanying the picture.
As was said in these columns last week,
now is the time to further augment the
inviting environments of Wichita by the
requirement of lands for a great central
park, for never again will SO favorable an
opportunity be offered from financial
point of view-The Sunday Mirror

the times. During the phenomenal ad-
vancement of this city in the last few
years McCOmb Bros have kept their traces
tight and kept up with the van and today
do a business commensurate with the COM
mercial Importance of Wichita. Their
travelling men cover all the territory in all
directions that is tributary to Wichita,
| being in successful competition with
their friends on the north and east and
enjoying a monopoly on the west and south.
The quality of material and workman
ship employed has assisted them materi-
ally in pushing their business in all direc-
tions and enables them to hold their want
age with ease. The little shop of II has
now developed into a large and thriving
factory ranking with the foremost enter
prises of the west. The motto of the firm
has always been to strive for excellence
but in his strife they have acquired a bust
ness and a connection that Is a tiattering
proof of the success of their efforts. The
NcComb Bros harness is better known
than any manufacture and commands
most ready sale. The firm employees at
present twenty-four hands but in the busy
season their force is necessarily augment
ed. During the fall and winter months a
double force is employed working day and
night The mandatory includes twenty
two styles of double and single buggy har-
ness, ten team harness, fifty styles of sad
dies besides full line of brides, breast
straps and reins. Since the first day of
June last 5+S sets of one style, the No.
s harness have been made and sold
The sales of 1890 thus far are nearly
double those for the same period of time in
1883 and the business from its start has
shown steady and a marked increase
each year.
The ground floor is devoted to show and
sales rooms with the exception of small
portion in the rear which is used for the
packing department. All orders are neat
ly packed in boxes which come in knock

creasing machines making straight creases
OF any width and also fiat, raised, and

The box loop press is one of the largest
ever used with an endless assortment of
dies. Nearly every conceivable design may
be worked on leather with artistic pre-
cislon by the various machinery used in
this factory. The rounder which makes
round reins or other parts of the harness
