NEW CoAcHEs.-We take the fol-
lowing description of the new
coaches of the Ohio River Railroad
from the Parkersburg Sentinel:
"The four new coaches ordered
by the o. r. R., arrived here last
night in charge of assistant Super
intendent w. W. Wickham, who ac-
companied them from the car manu-
factory of jackson & Sharp of Will
mington, Del. These are the finest
cars ever seen here and are equal
in comfort and elegance to the cars
on the Royal Blue Line.
The interior is finished in rich
Mexican mahogany, rare and
costly wood and decorated with de
signs in gold. The work is very
artistic and pleasing. The seats are
luxurious and are upholstered with
the finest car plush.
'sThe method of heating each car,
is one which attracts considerable
attention. The heat is generated
in one corner of the GER in the new
Baker heater. Steam is made in
the heaters, and it is then carried
to each seat by means of a large
pipe, Each seat, is heated thor
oughIy, each one having a separate
coil of steam pipe, for this purpose.
cat one end is the ladies labratOry
and toilet room and at the opposite
end is the gentlemen's room.
The American mocking birds,
Familiarity known as "cat" birds,
are the sweetest singers that we
have and after them comes robin
red-breast. Hundreds of them can
now be heard as early as 4:3O a. m.
and from then till p. m. their
carol never ceases. That they are
appreciated all over the country it
is only necessary to say in proof that
last week a Baltimore man who was
visiting in New York killed num-
Der of robbins for which he was ar
rested and fined over thousand
dollars. Being stranger he was
released by paying $3.50. A heavy
fine is imposed here for killing birds
and particular pains Is being taken
now to enforce the law SO be very
careful how you shoot.
