The Locomo motive,s Voice.

An engineer on one of the railroads running into this city says that persons in his business can always judge of the condition of their machinery by the tone 1t gives out while running. Every en' zine, whether stationary or locomotive, has particular tone of its own. The engineer becomes accustomed to that and any departure from it at once ex. cites a suspicion that all is not right The engineer may not know what is the matter, he may have no ear for music, but the change in tone of his machine will be instantly perceptible and will start him on an immediate investiga- tion.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

THURSDAY, AUGUST IS, 1892.
RATHER HARD WHEELING
On the P. R. & N. E. Road.

All the trackmen of the Philadelphia, Reading & New England between Hart ford and State Line quietly left the company's employ July 3Oth because on Aug. 1st their wages were to be re- duced to 12i cents per hour. At this writing their places have not been filled although the company has repeatedly but vainly attempted to substitute Ital- ians and Polanders (reoently landed at Castle Garden) for experienced track men. Even the Italians and Polanders refuse to work on the track just as soon as they discover that their wages are to be only 12i cents per hour. There has virtually been no track repairing be- tween Hartford and State Line since July 3Oth, and we are told that it is get ting to be rather hard and dangerous wheeling between said points. GA stitch In time saves nine"and it seems short sighted policy to allow the track to go to pieces, and to longer run the risk of accidents while attempting to substitute unskllled labor at 12i cents per hour for the skilled labor which readily com mands and fully earns 15 cents per hour. The compass of Economy, Wisdom, Justice and Mercy points as directly to the unemployment of the trackmen at their former wages as the magnetic needle points to the North Pole. With out dwelling upon the self evident pha- ses of economy, wisdom and justice we will merely state that the managers of the P. R. & N. E. road can be merciful to themselves, to the trackmen, to the trainmen, and to the travelling public by immediately employing the old trackmen at their former wages. Then everything will soon move along like clockwork, and to the mutual interest of employer and employee and to the safety and comfort of the travelling pub lie.
 We are informed that car load of Italians were brought from Philadel- phia to Chapinville last Thursday, but they refused to go to work on the track when they learned what was required of them, and the wages paid. On Fri day the Italians who have worked all summer on the gravel train were ordered to take the places of the trackmen. The Italians refused, promptly quit work and departed, This was set. back to the railroad company as said crew of Italians had some experience and possibly might been of some use as temporary trackmen. On Monday ol Tuesday the company succeeded in pro- curing nearly 150 Italians at Philadel phia, but on arriving at Poughkeepsie 70 of them 'tgot away" and the remain der would have vanished had the trair remained there 20 minutes longer. How ever, when they arrived in Connection they learned the situation of affairs and yesterday they were missing.

A clergyman in Taunton, Mass, has satisfied himself that Lizzie Borden, &C., cused of the murder of her parents, is innocent.

ANDREW CARNEGIE.
Sketch Of the Millionaire Owner OF the Steel
and Iron Works.

Andrew Carnegie, millionaire. manufae-
turer political economist .philantlropist, au
thor, lover of music, and cosmopolitan, was
born in Noodle street, Dunfcrmline, Scot
land Nov II, 1873. lie came of poor pa
rents. his father and mother both being
wcayers in humble circumstances. In his
early days he received very little schooling.
In 1915 the Carnegie family came to
America and settled in Pittsburg, Penn,
where the father, mother, and elder brother,
Thomas. worked as weavprs. Andrew OBJ
lccted TO doing the same, rs he did not con-
slider it lucrative pursuit, and at first Sc
cured Il position AS stationary engine fire
man, but still being dissatisfied, he became
Il telegraph messenger with the Atlantic &
Chic Company.
While engaged in this he. " it'll four other
lads took the opposite of the other boys
and spent the spare moments III studying.
In Il very short tine he learned telegraphy,
being one of the first operators in the coun-
try TO learn to take the Morse system by
sound, which in those days was considered
a remarkable achievement.
In three wears he became assistant tclcg-
raphcr and chief operator on the Icnnsyl-
vauia railroad al : years Of age. II dill
MOI take long for Thomas A. Scott, then
superintendent of the road at Pittsburg. to
see the genius III Young Carnegie; taking
him into his office he made Andrew his pri-
waite secretary.
Young Carnegie then secured good
position for his brother Tom. and induced
his mother and father to give upwork. The
education the young Scotchman received
from a greater mind lifted him from the
secretary's seat into the place of division
superintendent WHEN Mr.. Scott was male
vice-president of the railroad.
Andrew and his brother saved money
while working on the railroad. Before the
war Henry G. Phipps. learning that
Carnegie was looking for a safe investment,
advised the brothers to jointly purchase
certain lands in the suburbs of Pittsburg
Two years after the purchase oil fields
were discovered thereon. the Standard Oil
Company purchasing at good price, each
brother receiving $4,000.
The Carnegie brothers then purchased Il
small iron foundry and began the manufac-
ture of smelling furnaces, calling them
Lucy No. and Lucy No. 9, Lucy being the
name of baby sweetheart of Andrews in
Scotland. The success Of this venture was
remarkable, and in short time Andrew be-
came a.mlionaire through the introduction
of steel rails in this country.
In two years he had monopoly of the
business. Large contracts were received

The active young men who were so
largely instrumental in putting through the
board of trade, have bit upon another prom
lsing scheme to advertise IIallowell, and
which promises well They are planning
for big firenens muster, TO be held in
this city in the latter part of August. Prizes
will he offered for contests between steam
and band engines, and for Races between
hose companies. hook aud ladder trucks,
and individual fremcn. The local
tiremen will compete. and the pro-
posed volunteer hose company will probably
by ready by that time. Our steamer and
the Tiger can be counted on for good work,
and so could the Hooks had they only a
good track. Help viii be asked from the
city and from the business meu. There Is
but little doubt thar this viii be cheerfuily
given. for nearly all the latter recognize
the fact that the muster would be of great
benefit TO the city and the trade. It would
bring hundreds of the people into the city
and would do more to advertise Hallowell
than any other method yet proposed.
