DEFECTS in RUNNING GEAR.
Faults Pointed Out and Prophecy OF Bet
tor Things to Come

Faults Pointed Out and Propheey OF Bet
tor Things to Come
The running gear of cars as now
constructed is only adapted for use
on straight tracks But, rs there
must be curves on roads, the trucks are
simply forced around them. 1t is said
that it requires one-third more motive
power to carry a train around an ordi-
nary curve than on straight track.
This is due to the strain tc which the
wheels are subjected. In making a
curve the outside track is longer than
the inside one. Now, with wheel on
each truck and fastened immovably to
an axle, both wheels must make the
same number of revolutions In round-
ing the curve how is the inside wheel,
which has much shorter distance to
travel, to make an equal number of
revolutions with the outside wheel2 1t
is done in this way: The inside wheel
slips upon the inner or shorter rail,
while the outside one covers the longer
distance. AT the same time the incli-
nation of the track required in making
curves throws most of thesload upon
tho wheel that is slipping. causing a
great strain upon both wheel and axle.
1t has been computed that this strain
is equal to double that of the rolling
pressure on straight track. To meet
this the axle is made much thicker >be-
tween the wheels than at the journals,
where all the weight of the ear and
load is carried. Though it has been
long coming, / think the day will
finally come when these defects in car
trucks will be overcome Pittsburgh

BIGoTRY AGAINST PEoKHAM.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25, 1894. = Several
Senators received through the mails yester-
day small green pamphlet of the National
League for the protection of Amer
can Institutions. The objects of the
association are ito secure constitutional
and legislative safeguards for the
protection of the common school system
and other American institutions, and
to promote public instruction in har-
mony with such institut tions, and to
prevent all sectarian and denoninational
appropriations of public funds" As the
language clearly indicates, the Association
has an anti Catholic tendency. In the list Of
members composing the Law Committee of
the Association appears the name OF Wheeler
H. Peckham.
In the copies of the pamphlet shown at the
Capitol, Mr.. Peck's name appears to have
been printed in the list after the
book had left the press, as it differs
from the remainder in respect to the color
of the ink used, and there is faint
suspicion in the minds of some that the in
sertion of the name in the list of officers of
the association is the work of enemies living
in New York

SWINDLER PRINCE.
G. H. Henry C1everly Robs
Several New York.
Firms.
POSED AS A P. R. R. AGENT.
He Would Order Large Bills
of Goods and Get a
Commission.

G. 81. Henry, apparently about thirtystwo
years of age and well dressed, is in custody
at Leonard Street station, New York, on a
charge of swindling. He is called by the
Superintendent of the New York division Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad the ''prince Of
the gentlemen swindlers."
Henry walked into Perrin, Payson and
Company's warehouse, at No. 70 Little West
Twelfth street, ON Tuesday afternoon and
passing to the firms offices inquired for Mr..
Rarmond S. Perrin. He introduced him
self as purchasing or contracting agent for
the Pennsylvania Railroad. Heimmediately
ordered varnishes of various kinds for use
in the shops of the road, in all amounting to
81, 900 worth and took a statement of his
his purchases as he made them.
As he was leaving the warehouse he took
out his notes and then he returned to the
Office to see Mr.. Raymond s. Perrin.
WANTED A COMMISSION.
After making number of apologies he
represented it would be to the advantage of
the firm TO allow him commission
Mr.. Perrin was not surprised at the de-
mand. 1t is usual to allow commissions on
large orders. Accordingly. Mr.. Henry was
told he might call the following day, by
which time the goods were to be delivered,
and that he would then be properly treated
Talking the matter over later with Mr..
Payson, his partner, Mr.. Perrin began to
think it strange that Henry demanded his
commission so soon. He called up the Penn
sylvania Companys offices in Philadelphia,
and was referred to the offices in Jersey
| City.
There he was informed that no such man
as Henry was in any way connected with the
railroad, and that he must be a swindler.
OF course, the $700 worth of varnish was
not delivered in Jersey City.
RUNS UP AGAIN.
| The next place Mr.. Henry was heard
from was at 638 Hudson street, the ware
house and offices of S. P Powles & Co.,
| large dealers and manufacturers of salt.
Handing his card to Mr.. Powles, Henry
| told story similar to the one told Mr..
| Perrin, pnd concluded by ordering for
use, at the Jersey City storehouse of the
| Pennsylvania Company $50 bags of salt
| The profit on salt is not SO large as that on
varnish, SO he was quite eontented to receive
$40 bill as commission on the purchase. He
| thanked Mr. Powles profusely, and, with q
promise to call again in few days, he left.
The police learned of the rascars tricks
and arrested him on Broadway this morning.
