81 8 Miles an Hour.

On Friday, November Is, engine
1856 of the Centrrl of New Jersey, the
Vauclain four-cylinder compound,
which several months ago made re-
cord of 81 miles an hour, travelled a
mile IN 81 seconds, and two consecu-
tive miles in rs seconds, thus beating
its own record as we'll as all others.
This was done with regular train of
four cars, going east. between Fan
wood, n, j., and Westfeld, the grade
being 80 feet per mile, descending.
On the same trip a distance of FIVE
miles was traversed in three minutes
% seconds. thus making the best re-
cord for that distance 1918 miles an
hour. This was between Somerton
and Parkland, Pa, which Is the same
portion of the raad where SO much
fast running has been done hereto
fore. The grade here is partly de-
scending at IL and at 81 feet per
mile and partly level. This engine.

weighs 81 tons, with AL tons on the
drivers.-RGiIroGd Gazette.

How a German Train is Started

now d GERMAN Train Is started.
According to the RGiEt0ay ReUiel0,
an official of the Pittsburg and Lake
Erie railroad, recently returned from
Europe, referring to railway practice
in Germany, says: "The roadbeds
are about perfect, while the stations
are simply magnificent. even in the
most insignificant places being very
fine. The roadbeds are quite rlgld,
but this is manly due to the iron and
steel cross ties that are used. The
locomotives are fine pieces of me-
chanism, but their capacity is scarcely
equal to those on this side of the At
lantic. The entire passenger equip
ment is away behind that IN use here
Their trains, however, run like clock
work, and the connections are per-
feet. The method of starting trains
is altogether unique and peculiar,
and will cause local agents and train
men to smile. The agent is an i'm
posing, digniied and solemn-Iooking
Official, attired in elaborate uniform,
literally gilt-edged, and be acts as
master Of ceremonies on the impos-
ing occasion. When the train arrives
at a station he is standing bolt up
right IN an almost military position.
and he is on dress parade. One min
ute before the train starts he reaches
up and taps gong three times.
then a strange scene takes place. and
it would seem that he had pressed a
button, for at the last tap the conduc-
ter, who has been at the rear car,
comes galloplng along the entIre
length of the platform, shouting in
German the name of every station
the train will stop at When the en-
CINE Is reached he wheels about and
on his return quickly closes and locks
the car doors, darts back to the van
to his perch on the rear car, whistle
thrice on tin or metal whistle, which
is instantly repeated by the brake
man at the front end, and the train
starts.

FOUR DWELLINGS DESTROYED
EARLY THIS MORNING.
AN ENGINEERS TIMELY ACTION
Two Bold Burglaries in the First
Ward at an Early Hour
Yesterday Morning No
Arrests.

-Four dwellings in the'ul per VIM. Penn
patch were destroyed by de IT an erriy
hour this morning
The fire was first discovered by the en-.
gineer OF tue Philadelphia 81 Reading pas
senger train that leaves here at 2 a m. A.
his train pulled into the patch hessw A me.
in the basement of the building owned and
occupied by William George. H. stopped
his train and blew the locomotive whistle
until he had the whole patch aroused
Then he proceeded on his journey. Blu,
for the timely discovery and thoughtful act
of this engineer great loss Of life migh have
attended the fire, as the occupants of all the
houses in the neighborhood were, like those
in the doomed buildings, sound asleep.
In answer to the engineers alarm the
people rushed out of their houses into the
cold night air. scantily clad, some barely
covered. The fire had already gained
considerable headway and, to the dismay
of the volunteer force, the fire plug was
found frozen. After working hard for
nearly half an hour the plug wss put in
working order, but before drop of water
was thrown out the George dwelling was
| doomed, the residence of Charles Ralzburg,
on the east side, was enveloped III flames,
and the double block owned by Samuel
Couch, on the west side, was
burning. Attention was turned tc
prevent the fire from spreading tc
the other dwellings in the row and the
efforts were crowned with success. The
George and Ratzburg houses we're com.
pletely destroyed, with nearly all theiI
contents. The Couch double block wa.
burned so badly it is practically destroyed
Several buildings in the vicinity were
damaged, but not extensively. The total
loss is about $1,000, with an insurance oi
$1,000. 1t is understood that there was nc
insurance on the Couch block. The fire il
supposed to have been caused by pieces Of
clothing catching fire from the kitchen
range in the George residence.

NATIONAL CHAIRMAN CLARKsoN,
in recent address, urged that in
every state the Republicans make a
square fight on national issues-the
advocacy of the principles of equal
rights to all men, protection to Amer
lean industry, sound finance, the ex-
ension of trade with other countries
through reciprocity, the building up
of American shipping, and the re
toration of agriculture to its old-time
prosperity by the provision of means
to send our surplus products TO nations
that require them. Every Republi-
can can stand on such platform and
the party ought to sweep the country
on it next fall.

MINISTER EGAN, should not be re
called from Chill at the demand of
English opinion, and a few Mug
wump and Democratic journals more
British than American in their pre-
diIictions. If he has misrepresented
the country, or imPeriled its peace or
in any way acted unbecoming an
American citizen and diplomat, he
should be recalled, but we can trust in
the judgment Of President Harrison
and Secretary Blaine, better than III
that of newspapers, whose patriotism
and Americanism is questionable.

The supper and cake walk held last
evening n Robbins opera house, under the
auspices Of Company "A, lst Regiment.
Jr. o U. A. NJ, Guards, of town, was a
grand success, both socially and financially.
The several tables we're laden with choice
eatables of all kinds, and there was an
abundance TO meet the wan of the
large crow Is that we're continually coming
and going win the 1hieei in view Of sup
plying the inner man. The hall was taste
fully decorated with tri-ooIored bunting,
and many favorable comments were heard
of the excellent manner in which the af-
fair was conducted. Shortly after ten
o clock the fl Dor was cleared for the cake
walk which was p rticip tied in by ten
| couples. The judges awarded the large
and handsome cake to James Morris and
Miss Ruth Williams. A stag walk was
then participated in by fifteen gentlemen,
and the judges were compelled TO divide
the cake, not being able to decide between
Albert Heebner and George Spade, the
| former in the character of the political
heeIer and the latter that of the descendant
of Ham. The two gentlemen are at loss
to know how to make division of the
cake, not being able to find a knife that is
sufficiently sharp for that purpose.
The managers Of the supper certainly
had the hearty support of the people, and
can congratu ate themselves upon the
same. 1t is estimated that the receipts,
above all expenses, will be about $1,000,
which will go towards purchasing uniforms
for the company.

Lamp.
About three o'clock yesterday morning
Patrick McNally, boarder in the house
of John Folland, in the First ward, saw q
strange man walking about bis bedroom
with lighted lamp in his hand, Mentally
jumped from his bed and rushed towards
the figure As he aid so the stranger turned
and hurled the lamp which struck Nc
Nally in the stomach and fell to the floor,
breaking into fragments in pool of blaz-
ing oil. McNally turned his attention t.
extinguishing the flames and the burglar
took advantage of the opportunity to es-
cape. After his departure it was found
$40 in cash, one gold and two silver watche;
we're missing. McNally says the burglar
had one or two companions.
About an hour after this affair occurred
burglars entered the residence of Mrs Nc
Neil, widow Of the late John Mcneil, and
secured watch left by the deceased and
which was highly priced by the family.
The two burglaries are suppo ed to be
the work of the same parties, but there ia
no clue TO their identity.
