MODEL ENGINES.

The Baltimore and Ohio railroad
has just placed in service on its Chica-
go division three new passenger en-
gines, built at the Baldwin locomo-
tive works, after new designs furnish
ed by the general superintendent Of
motive power Of the Baltimore and
Ohio Company. The engines weigh
$4,000 pounds, having driving wheels
six feet in diameter, cylinders 10 by
"a inches, and are without doubt the
finest passenger locomotives running
into the city Of Chicago to-day. Com
panions Of these new engines have de-
veloped wonderful power and speed in
hauling the famous Royal Blue Line
trains, which run between New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washing
ton, oyer the Philadelphia division of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The
Baltimore and Ohio has added over
forty new, high class engines to its
motive power equipment within the
last sixty days, and others are under
construction. While constantly add
ing engines Of approved design and
highest grade to its motive power, and
passenger coaches Of Pullman standard
to its rolling stock, the Baltimore and
Ohio is expanding large amounts for
additional second and third tracks ard
sidings, and improved facilities at ter
minal points. By the time the Worlds
fair is opened for the reception Of wish
tors the Baltimore and Ohio viii be
well equipped to handle, expediously,
the large volume of passenger traffic
which will naturally seek this pictur-
esque route from the Atlantic seaboard
to Chicago.

AS You know, the primrose paths Of

humor. Prof. D. N. Bristol's Eques.

amusement. You cannot fail to see
the application.

show evident signs Of bad blood and
rowdyism. There are dozen Or more
witnesses against them, and from what
facts we learn, there is no question
but what they are guilty Of foul muir
der, in the first degree, and deserve
the full penalty Of the law. They
stated 10 different persons. Saturday
that they were going to clean up the
town. The truth Is that they did try
Il and had number Of fights. Tho
people Of this county viii evidently

their abusive language. One Of them
attempted to strike Poisal, but sudden

1t is the prevailing opinion in this
city that Poisal came our to disperse
the crowd, which was boisterous and
oisorderly, and was assaulted. The
prisoners are young men, none over
thirty years ofage, and were genteeley
dressed. They were all lying on the

The record Of our city, for its peace
