RAILROAD GOSSIP

A car constructed wholly of steel lately
passed over the Erie. 1t is built something
in thelshape of cigar with fsttened sides.
The interior is handsomely upholstered
and 1t is claimed the car is fire proof and
unbreakable. 1t is also claimed that pass
engers riding In this car would not be in
jured In case Of a wreck, as it can roll
down an embankment without being de-
molished
Some idea of the immense transportation
facilities of the United States can be gained
by the fact that the Baldwin Locomotive
Works in Philadelphia turned out on an
average three locomotives pei day during
last year. These engines are worth SIS
600 each, and represent the output of buS
one among a score OF prominent shops, a
very small per cent. of the machines manu-.
factured going to foreign countries.
From the let the mileage books of the
Central Railroad of New Jersey will be

miles.

Death of rthen Allen Hirgsns.

For many months our former citizen,
Ethen Allen Higgins, has been slowly
wearing away at his home in Toledo.
For many years past he has not been
in good health, but has kept at his
editorial labors on the Toledo Com
merical until absolutely compelled to
lay down the pen and await the end,
which came at last, and he was called
to rest Sunday morning, March l, 1851,
at O'clock.
He was born at Mt. Vernon, Ohio.
63 years ago, and was given a good
education by his father, who was quite
prominent man of that place.
When quite a young man he was
Clerk in the House of Representatives,
and was afterwards editor of the
Western Home Visitor of Mt. Vernon,
and assisted In the publication of the
Lily, one of tho first papers devoted
to the cause of woman's rights.
Mr.. Higgins WAS ono of the best
journalists of the country, and was
capable of filling any position either
in the editorial or mechanical depart
ments. For number OF years past he
has been holding a position on the
Toledo Commercial and that paper
speaks OF him thus:
Some So years ago Mr.. Higgins
removed to the Maumee valley and
| Si, hnf m tlt
connected with it's newspaper life.
He was the publisher and editor of the
Toledo Record, the Perrysburg Inde
pendent and the Maumee Valley Times
For the last 20 years he has beer
connected with the Toledo Blade and
Toledo Commercial, being member
of the Commercial editorial staff VIII er
attacked with his last illness. From
1872 to 1875 he was managing editor
of the Blade, and more recently man
aging editor of the Commercial during
the brief regime of Mr.. Richard Smith
Under different administrations oi
the Commercial Mr. Higgins served rs
city editor, probably more years thar
with any other Toledo paper. In hi
zenith of life he was most successful il
this branch of journalism, being &
bright newsgatherer AMI alway
welding an attractive pen. In 1881
he was connected with the Toledo
Times, n journal which had brie
existence.
His nature was a kindly one, eve
benevolent and ready TO aid the unior
tunate and tho oppressed. He leave
a wife to mourn the loss of good
J affectionate husband, and many friend
] among the intellectual and human
| itarian workers in the Maumee valley
who were ever sure of sympatheti
newspaper help when he had power t
, give it. His funeral was held on Mon
day afternoon last, and his remaiu
were placed ut rest in the cemetery d
