The Rio Grande's President.

The appointment of E. r. Jeffery to be
president and general manager OF the Den
yer & Rio Grande, made last week, was an
nounced a few days after Mr.. Jeffrey had
denied, in Denver, that he had been offered
the position, and was a surprise. Mr.. Jeff
cry is president of the Grant locomotive
works, now building near Chicago, and was
formerly general manager of the Illinois
Central. His career has often been called
remarkable, aud is a record of successive
promotions from the time he entered the
machine shops of the Illinois Central until
he WAS appointed general manager of the
same road. His connection with the road
began in December, 1856, and after filling
several lower grades in the service he was
appointed assistant superintendent of ma
%chinery; then general superintendent in
1873 and general manager in December,
1886. He resigned in August. 1889. He is
48 years Did. He has been prominently
connected with the Worlds fair in Chicago
since its inception. and would probably
have been elected president of the commits
sion if he had not declined TO allow his
name to be used.

How spools Are Made.

Almost all the spools now made are pro-
duced from brentwood, and the machinery
used in their manufacture has been brought
to such a degree of perfection as to reduce
their cost to the lowest possible figure.
The wood is first sawed into sticks four or
five feet long and seven-eighths of an inch
to three inches square. according to tn 9
intended size of the spool. These 8 ticks
are thoroughly seasoned, sawed into short
blocks and dried in a hot air kiln at the
timo they are sawed, holes being bored per-
pendioularly through each block. which is
set on end under a rapidly-revolving, long
shaped anger. At this stage one whirl of
each little block against some sharp knives
that are turning at lightning speed fashions
it into a spool after the manner Of the pat
tern provided, and, this, too at the rate of
n a second for each set OF knives. A row
of small boys feed the spoolmakinq ma
chimes by simply, placing the blocks in a
spout, selecting the best and throwing out
the knotty and defective stock. The ma
chine is automatic, excepting the operation
performed by the boys. After turning the
spools are placed in a large drum and re-
yolyed rapidly until polished.-Ex.

An Electric snow Sweeper.

= An Electric Snow Sweeper.
The Thomson-Houston snow sweeper for
street railroads was described by Mr.. Barr,
of that company, at the street railroad
convention in New York city. This ma
chine has attracted a good deal Of atten-
ton, it having been rumored that it was to
be a very powerful piece of apparatus
which would clear the streets quickly and
prevent any delay by snow when electric
motors are used instead of cables. After
examining all of tho devices of any moment
in this country for cleaning streets, the
machine was devised with a brush of rattan
set at an angle of 60 degrees and revolving
in q frame and driven by a motor by means
of sprocket chains. In a light snow that
brush gave good satisfaction, but in a heavy
wet NOW the brush would clog, and serve
rather to pack the SNOW Oh the rail and
make it solid, and therefor interfere with
the traction. The sprocket chain is always
q source of trouble and annoyance. The
new pillow now being built has a broom with
steel teeth. 1t is supported from thirty
inch, 4%0O-pound wheels. with Bemis jour
nal boxes. The wheels are driven the
same as with the cars, the
motor being placed on the axle with a single
reduction between the armature shaft and
the axle. The brush cylinder is set at As
degrees with the track and extends COM
ftA~"oAJ AOAooo UA@ ~ "AAA ~ - AoChOt oAhIu
The weight of the motor cou~nterbalances
the brnsh and it is geared directly through
spur gearing to a flyer" The flyer is a
series Of plates resembling the paddle wheel
of a steamer. with, the plates cut at the
center to make room for the driving gear.
The plates are of steel about one-quarter of
an inch thick, eight of them or each flyer.
To the back of the plates are bolted steel
wire brushes; the wire is fiat and cuts edge
wise. The brushes are adjustable and ordi-
narially their surface projects from five
sighths to one and one-half inches beyond
the plates. The plates do the major part Of
will actually cut ice. The steel crush does
the rest Of the work. 1t sweeps the road
clean n if allowed to remain long enough
in one place it will cut the ice as we'll.
The motor driving the broom and brush
is independents of the motor driving the ear,
so that the sweeper can be propelled in a
light snow at sufficient speed to keep it
ahead of n cars on the line. The device
has done good work, and is now built with
a twenty-five-horse power motor which
drives the plate 150 turns per minute. One
of these sweepers will be on exhibition at
the coming convention at P%ittsburg.

Members of the state militia started to
go into the armory building last night, az
they are in the habit Of doing. by way OF
the back door. As they approached they
found a strange man in possession of the
doorway. With him was q vicious bull dog
which showed its teeth and Rrowled in a
terrible way. As all the arms and equipment
were inside the army retreated and invoked
the aid of the police. Policemen Bossler
and Finnegan started down to out the
man and the dog who were holding the
fort. On the way they ran acrosa a drunken
man who was also in a fit, and they had to
turn back with him. That being disposed
of thew started back. reinforced by Police
men Vanasse and Detective Walters. On
Main street below Sixth avenue they were
stopped by the fire. When that was out
Vanassee and Bossler started for the
armory again. On the way they ran across
another drunken man and had to turn back
again. Finally they reached the armory
about midnight. The man and the bull
dog had disappeared.

to Retire From Business.

Railroad men are not 10 cheerful over the
outlook as they we're q month ago, says q
Chicago paper. They had expected that BY
this time they would DO put to their utmost
e1ertions to provide cars enough to move
the eastbound freight, but instead Of that
they find that there had been no strain
whatever on the capacity OF their roads.
Not only is business dull. but the volume is
actually decreasing from week to week, and
what ID more surprising, it continues to fall
far short Of the tonnage recorded for cor
responding periods of 1880, which was re-
gardad as an off year. This falling of can
no longer be attributed to water competi-
tion, for lake shipments during the past
two weeks have decreased even more than
the shipments by rail. The eastbound
movement Of dead freight by tho railroads
last week. including both through and local
c~onsignmeuts, amounted to B.516 tons.
against 60. 105 for tho preceding week, a de-
crease of $3.50 tons, and against 67.673 for
the same period last year, a decrease Of
1O,S47 tons. At the same time lake ship-
ments fell away from los, 1876 tons for the
presiding week to 1853 tons last week.
The shipments OF -four, grain and provis-
ions from Chicago to the seaboard by the
roads in the Centred Traffic association ag-
gregated %, 1856 tons against 25,449 for the
preceding week, a decrease Of 1,S14 tons.
and against "a, 1916 for the corresponding
week Of 1890. a decrease of 1881 tons. The
Vanderbilt lines carried So per cent. of this
traffic, the Pennsvlvania lines 26 per cent,
the Chicago and Grand Trunk II per cent.
