which has been generally commented
upon by all who have visited the
courthouse. The stranger will re-
ceiye his first impression of our fine

be favorable one. We hope our
County Court will meet the wishes
of the people and expend few more
dollars in making this entrance way
at least respectable. The public will
sanction it, the county will be

thereby, even in pecuniary point
of view, and Judge Faulkner will
save enough additional jury fees to
pay for it.

Is common exclamation at this season. There
is certain bracing effect in cold air which is
lost when tie weather grows warmer and
when Nature is renewing her youth, her nd

of the blood, and its failure to supply healthy
tissue to the various organs of the body. 1t is
remarkable how susceptible the system is to

Jacob Brown, a young workman
on one of the piers for the new Bal
timore and Ohio bridge at Harper's
Ferry, signaled the engineer to hoist,
when the chain slipped and a hugh
block of stone Weighing about four
tons fell. In order to save himself
from being crushed to death, he
jumped from the scaffold to the rocks
below, distance of twenty-five feet,
fracturing his forehead and breaking
his nose. Had he remained on the
scaffold he would have been gound
to atoms.-H. r. Sentinel.

One of the principal feats for the cleo
tricians to accomplish, says the Commercial
Bulletin, in developing electricity to use on
steam railroads, is the perfection of prac-
teal electric locomotive. Considerable ex-
permenting has been carried on in this line
in the past u or IL months until today two
practical heavy electric locomotives are
ready for use. One for the elevated railway
in Chicago we have already described in these
columns The other is locomotive for the
Baltimore & ohio X. X. Co.,
which is to be used in the new tunnel under
the city of Chicago. 1t is surpris-
ing what little advance has been
male in the application of electricity to eIe-
waited railway work. 1t seems to offer an
exceptional field. The use of q current is
irnmaterial and thus the most economical
and cfficien, can he employed which would
probably he Objectionable in surface trac-
ton. The future application of electricity
to elevated RAILWAY work will depend large
Is OF the success of the locomotive that is
now going to Chicago. If it gives the sat
isfaction anticipated the elevated roads of
that city may use nothing else.
