Senator German as Ball-Player.


Senator German, few years ago,
was considered one of the best base ball
players in the country, and is yet pas
Sionately fond Of the great National
game. Nor has be lost his talents as q
baseballst, as his fellow hotel guests,
who witnessed him playing catch with
his son, can testify. Upon this occa-
sion he displayed great skill in hand
ling and catching the ball. He has q
way of giving his arm peculiar jerk
that will send the ball great height
in the air, almost in straight line, and
without having to move more than q
few feet the Senator is able to catch
the ball again with one hand. He can
stand off twenty PAGES and catch the
ball every time just as hard as his son
can throw it at him. Mr.. Leech, who
holds position in the New York Gus
tom House, sat on the botel piazza yes
terday and watched Senator German
as q number of noted politicians throng-
ed about him. "Only what seems a few
years ago little thought that Arthur
German would be playing the part in
our National affairs that he is now"
said Mr.. Leech to me. German and
l were pages together in the United
States Senate, amp there were several
of the pages whom most of the people
thought would cut bigger figure in
has left us all far behind in the process
sion. He was very quiet boy then, as
ne is very quiet man now."

''If the new engine | am abont 10 nave
constructed is not capable OF making
100 miles an hour I'll give her TO tne
first person / meet"
This statement was made yesterday
nv Mr.. Jackson Richards. the master
mechanic OF the Philadelphia ana head-
ing Railroad, who was exhibiting 10 d
party of deeply interested persons the
drawings for locomotive which, II sue
cessful, is almost sure to revolutlonlze
the construction of the high-speed loco
motives. Mr.. Richards has been work
ing ON his latest invention for the past
ten wears, and few days ago the draw
ings were completed and the patent was
APPLIED for. If the new flyer is as sue
cessful as experts predict she Will De IL
is more than likely that the time between
Philadelphia and New York will be
made in less than an hour.
In outward appearance the new loco
motive will not differ materially from
the speedy engines now used on the
Philadelphia and Reading railroad be-
tween this city and New York. The
pecultarity of construction lies in the
fact that instead of the two cylinders as
used at present there will be four. One
cylinder will be located on each side OF
the locomotive frame as at present, ana
the other two will be cast In what is
known as the cylinder saddle. The In
side pair of cylinders are to be in one
niece, and will lie on an angle. The
outside cylinders are to be horizontal as
at present. The four cylinders will en-
tirely overcome what is known to engi-
neers as the dead centre, and the engine
will be perfectly balanced without any
counterbalance In the wheels. Inls
latter improvement will, 10
large degree, do away with the vicious
pounding which has proven so deStrnct-
I've to modern roadbeds. The perfect
balancing of the engine will be largely
due to the working of the two cylinders
so near her centre, and these same cyl
inders workings as they do from such
q central point of vantage, will help
out in the matter of speed to great
degree.
According to the experts who have
examined the drawings the valve mo-
ton is perfect. There will be four
valves-one to each cylinder-and they.
will be operated by two links, the same
as now used for two cylinders. The
engine is designed to be built on the
Wooton fire box, the same as Is now
used on the famous 1000" which made
a mile in the remarkable time OF 1919
seconds on August 81. The ordinary
speed of the destined world-beater will
be eighty-fve miles an hour.

Nellie McHeury's new farce-comedy,
GA Night at the Circus" is receiving
complimentary notices in every quarter,
and is undoubtedly great success.
She is one Of the most charming vivac-
ious condolences on the stage, and "a
Night at the Circus" fits her as snugly
as the pretty pale blue costume she
wears in the last act. The play bris-
ties with surprises, situations and wit.
The songs suit the play as well as the
play suits the actress and her support.
The parts seem to have been cut to fit
the players. Miss McHenry has all the
opportunity she requires to display her
frlskiness, do her little kicking and
dancing, and to play the pretty, demure,
sweet governess as well.

Bowen died here about year ago leaving
IS ,000, 900, though he never paid taxes on
more than a few thousand, the assessors be-
ing afraid to broach him. On his death his
estate was moved on for back taxes. The
heirs failed to agree on an administrator
and the court appointed the county treas
urer, whom the heirs fought until last
Wednesday, when the county moved that
Bowen's estate be taxed on $4,000 900 per-
sonal property. The heirs Immediately be-
gan to pack up their possessions. Trunks,
valises, satchels and boxes were broughs
into requisltion and stored with notes,
mortgages, bonds and stocks.
LEFT AT MIDNIGHT.

departed on midnight train. The widow
is now in Urbana, ILL.,, Edward Bowen In
Chicago and A. I. and Eta Bowen are on
their way to Philadelphia. All have given
up their residence in Indiana except Nathan
iel Bowen, who retains real estate. When
announcement OF the retreat of the heirs
was made yesterday no one appeared more
surprised than their attorneys, who declare
that they had not received hint of the in-
tended fight of their clients. The bank
owned by the family is in the hands OF the
assistant cashier and the depositors have
commenced run on ID.
