THE WAR DEPARTMENT.

Gen. Joseph Ii. Doe, Adjutant General
on the Stan of Gov. Peck of Wisconsin,
Chosen as Successor to Gen. l.. "A. Grant
as Assistant Secretary of War.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.-The resigna-
ton of Gen. l.. A. Grant, assistant sec
rotary of war, which was rendered to
the president on the incoming of the
administration, has been accepted, to
take effect December 10, and it is an
nounced that Gen. Joseph B. Doe, ad-
jutant general of the Wisconsin ma
tional guard, has been selected as his
successor.
Gen. Doe is lawyer residing at
GAINESVILLE, Wis. His name does not
appear on the register of either the
volunteer or the regular army, and as
he is said to be quite young man it is
inferred that he did not see service
during the war of the rebellion and
that his military experience has been
confined to the Wisconsin national
guard. lie is reported to possess
marked executive ability, Secretary
Lamont stated some time since that he
did not wish change made in the of
fee of assistant secretary of war un-
less he could find an assistant secre-
tary who would practically relieve
him of all the military routine work OF
the Office. Gen. Doe, it is reported
fills the bill.

position so as to avoid any shalxiness in
your hand, hold the other end of the
thread between your first finger and

feshy top joint of the thumb) so that
the thumb nail is undermost, and g
few inches above the middle of the
mouth of the glass
Now, if you keep your hand quite
steady, the movement of the coin which
is hanging inside the tumbler will be-

motionless. Then, in half a minute OF
SO, very slight and regular vibration
will commence, the coin oscillating
from side to side. like pendulum, and
gradually increasing the length OF
movement until it gently strikes the

way, first on one side of the glass and
then on the other. until, say, eight
strokes have been struck, the vibra-

BABIES IN A BAG.

Healthy Twins Babies, Apparently About
Two Weeks Old, Found fin N vaIise al
Relay Depot. East st. Louis, ILL.,, Where
They Had Been Abandoned by Their
Parents.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 20.-A pair of twin
babies about two weeks old were
found in old-fashioned valise at $40
Saturday evening at the Relay depot,
East st. Louis. Their cries attracted
the attention of Train Caller Ervey
Johnson. who thought there were
kittens in the valise. But upon open
ing it two healthy babies were found,
one on each side of the satchel.
They were well and tastefully
dressed in long baby clothes and were
resting comfortably on soft pieces OF
cloth which had been placed under
them. There was neatly-made cloak
and nurses bottle partly full of milk
with nipple on it in the valise. The
bag was closed and carefully strapped,
and also tied with cord. A hole was
cut in the side, which furnished air tc
the tiny occupants.
Detective Kinney and Officer Brophy,
who were at the depot, were at once
notified and took charge of the chill
dren. John Weis, the proprietor OF
the restaurant, furnished covering for
the babies and also fresh milk for the
bottle, which the babies drank eager
ly. The infants were taken by the of
ficers to st. Mary's hospital and given
in charge of the sisters.
There is no clew to the person who
left the valise, but is supposed to have
been a man, as the valise was left in
front of the newspaper stand in the
gentleman's room, and those in at.
tendance at the newsstand and lunch
counter are satisfied that they would
have noticed a woman in the room.

are twelve feet deep, and constructed of
brick and cement,
The engine equipment consists OF
three Ball cross compound engines,
high speed, especially built for railway
work, and Of $50 horse power. These
three compound engines are the first OF
the kind in the city. Each one is really
two engines, the steam used in ono be-
ing conducted through the exhaust
into the other side, where it is again
utilized, making very economical
machine. One OF these engines will, as
the road is run at present, be sufficient,
but when more cars are put on two en-
gines and three or four generators will
DO required 1t will be seen that the
company has provided sufficient
machinery, so as not to be handl-
capped by any accident or big increase
in amount OF rolling stock used. An
ingenious attachment on these engines
ia the oil filter, which gathers up and
refDes the oil after it has been used. A
new appliance in use ia the steam
separator, which separates the water
from the steam before reaching the en-
CINE, thus preventing any possible
damage from that source to the cylin-
ders OF the engines. AS stated, these
are the first cross compound engines in
use in Wheeling. They come from the
Ball Engine Company, Erie, ia. When
they arrived here some weeks ago much
difficulty was experienced in moving
them to the power house, on accounto oil
their great weight fifteen tons, One,
it will be remembered, broke down a
dray on South Jacob street.
The governors are placed within the
heavy fly wheels on heavy springs, and
are guaranteed to maintain within three
iourths OF one per cent OF the maxi
mum speed. They will be run on
steam pressure OF lao pounds, and will
run $50 revolutions per minute.
Each engine will run two generators.
Five OF the generators or dynamos are
Of tho Thompson Houston make, and
the sixth is Westinghouse. With the
exception OF this one dynamo, the en-
tire electrical equipment Is OF the
Thorn pson- II ouston make. Each dynamo
weighs 10000 pounds, and like the
three engines are placed on foundations
separate from the floor, thus preventing
the jar that ordinarily is part OF
machine shop.
The electric car line will at once be
divided into sections, and each section
will DO fed by separate feeder This
arrangement will make it comparatively
easy to locate trouble at points along
the line. The trolley was formerly con-
tinuous, supplied with power at one
point. The feeder wires in the station
are connected to automatic circuit
breakers, so that anything wrong on
any part CT the road, will at once be re-
corded on its own section Mt the station.
The controlling apparatus is arranged
on five slate panels, composing the
switch board, which is elevated from
tho floor, so that tho electrician in
charge can see all over the room. The
