MONUMENT FOR BOTH SIDES.

Gettysburg, April I8,-Some time
this season there will be a monument
erected on the battlefield that will be
ofinterest not only to the Union veter-
ans, but also to the Confederate troops
who fought so bravely 1t is tablet
to show the High-water mark of the
Rebellion and It will be erected Just at
the umbrella-shaped clump of trees
near the bloody angle, and close to
where Hancock was wounded. Near
by is the monument to Armistead, the
confederate officer who penetrated farth-
est into the Union lines, and died with
his sword in his hand; and dotted here
and there in close proximity are the
monuments Of Webb's gallant regi-
ment and the magnificent shaft to the
brave Stanrard, whose Vermont men
turned the rebel flank and changed
Pickett's repulse into rout and a de-
feat for the whole Confederate army.
This monument, colossal affair, will
be of granite and bronze, and its entire
cost will be borne by the states whose
troops repulsed Longstreet in that
bloody assault. 1t will represent an
open book resting on pile of cannon
balls, the whole surmounting a mas
sive base, which together with the op-
en- pages, will tell the story of rebel
lions high tide in appropriate inscrip-
tons, the names of the organizations
that participated from both armies be-
ing given. At its dedication i'll the fall
there will be a great gathering of sol
diers from all over the country, and en-
inent generals will take part in the GER
emonieS

| MODEL. Motive PowER.-The Balti.
more and Ohio Rail Road Company
has recently placed in service on its
fast trains between New York, Phila-
delphia, Baltimore, and Washington,
three new engines which are doubtless
the finest and fastest ever built in this
country. These new flyers have driv-
ing wheels six feet, six inches high and
cylinders 20 inches by "a. The large
cylinders give them tremendous power
and the high drivers protect the ma
chinery from the rack and strain incl
dent to driving smaller engines at great
speed. There is practically no limit to
the speed to which these new marvels
may be driven and they skim over the
rail as smoothly as swallow over a
lake
Another recent addition to the motive
power of the company is a consignment
of eight powerful ten wheel passenger
engines, designed for service on the
mountain division. These are the
heaviest ten wheel engines ever CON
structed, weighing sixty seven and one
half tons. They have driving wheels
six feet two inches high audIcylinders ?
inches by 26 One of these machines
performs the work heretofore required OF
two Of the ordinary class and they take
the heavy through express train up the
mountain grades quickly and with per-
feet ease
The Mt. Clare shops of the company
have recently completed an order for
ten switch engines OF the highest type,
and sufficiently powerful to make up a
train equal to the full drawing power of
a consolidation freight engine. Also
three new heavy eight wheel passenger
engines, having driving wheels five feet
eight inches, and cylinders twenty
inches by twentyfour. These engines
are now doing excellent work; they are
very powerful and susceptible Of great
speed.
In addition to the foregoing the COM
pany has now under construction at its
Mt. Clare shops ten powerful ten wheel
engines designed for fastIfreight service
and for heavy passenger trains on occa-
sion, also twelve consolidated freight
engines Of great power.
These additions to its motive power
are in line with the other great i'm
provemerts constantly being made in
the general betterment of the B. & o.
property by its present management,
which have been noted by the press
from time TO time, and the rapid aug
mentation of the passenger traffic Of the
Company indicates that the public is
quick to recognize the present and con-
stantly increasing efficiency of its train
service

OVER THE BANK-There was an ex-
citing scene at the Potomac Cement
Mill, near Shepherdstown, last week.
\ horse and cart were backed to the
edge OF a steep bank at the rivers edge
for the purpose Of dumping. The
driver did not strike the chuck, and
over went the whole business. The
cart sunk like lead, but the shafts be-
came detached and remained fast to the
horse. The current was very swift at
that place, and the animal was carried
toward the dam. He made q brave
struggle ior his life. and would prob
ably have swum cut had he not been
encountered, bit the strong current
drew him over the dam, his body re-
appearing away down the river, where
it was caught and the harness removed.
The cart is still at the bottom of the
river, where it is likely to remain until
the low water of summer time.-Meb-
