TO HEAT BY STEAM.
All Cars of the Pennsylvania System 10 be
Heated This Way.

Heated This Way.
PIr1sBURe, February 24-The Penn
sylvauia Railroad Company, Jointly with
the Pennsylvania Company, has decided
to equip all passenger coaches owned by
these corporations with apparatus for steam
heating.
The Pennsylvania to-day completed a
device at the Union Station for heating
cars by steam when the engine is not at
tached. 1t will be remembered that
nearly all the trains which leave this
station are made ready by yard engine
aud are Iun into the station by gravity.
Until the regular engine is coupled on,
therefore, the steam heated cars would be
without heat. This device, which was
finished to-day, is for the parpOse of fur
nishiDg heat until the engine is coupled to
the train. In the center of each track
almost under the big buffer heads
which are built at the termini Of
the tracks, have been placed pipes
which connect with the boilers in the sta
tiOn. Each pipe is provided with valve
and Las attachment, and when a train
backs IN, the connection is made just the
same as in the case OF tie engine. When
the engine is coupled on the stationary
connection is broken.
The work CT tquipping the cars will be
prosecuted from now until the apparatus
hiss bseu placed in every car. 1t will
cost in the neighborhocd of $780,
600 10 do the work, but sven
at that price we will eventually
figure cut savipg. To neat train by
steam sfom the engine requires scarcely
any more coal, and by such system save
several thousand tons of anthracite coal,
which costs great deal.

LONDON, February "a IA party OF

The missionaries, three in number, began

crowd became particularly onxious to
know how many wives one OF the Elders,
venerable individual with lOrg white
hair, possessed These interrogatories dis
concerted the Mormons, and excited much
laughte, and jeeriDg among the crowd.
