NEW FREIGHT ENGINES.

They are Monsters, Can Draw Fifty
 Loaded Cars, and Are Economical.
 The new freight locomotives for the Consolidated road-twenty-five in number which have been built during the past few months, are objects of admiration and wonder to all who see them. The engines are all alike and are numbered from 276 to 300 inclusive. They weigh 156.O .OO0 pounds, or seventy-eight tons apiece. The boiler is 72 inches in diam eter and there are four pairs of 5l-inch driving wheels. The cylinders are 21 by 26 inches. and there are BIO two-inch hues in each engine. The water capacity of each tender is 4,200 gallons The ten der can carry from five to seven tons of coal. The new engines are built especially for hauling htavy freight trains. The drive wheels are made considerably small Ter than the passenger train engines on this account. The old freight engines can haul thirty-five loaded freight cars, but these new locomotive can haul fifty loaded freight cars over the road between New York and Boston. Contrary to what might be expected, they are run with less coal and less water than the old style en- zine This is due in part to the greater power of the small drive wheel. The en- zines are built by the Rhode Island Loco- motive works, at Providence

who has lost by death three mea to
whom she was succassively engaged.
In tie first instance the youth, tc
whom she had been be5rotbea for a
year and q half, expired ca the very
eve Of the wedding. In the second,
another young man, to whon she had
keer engaged soon after the melan-
cho'y event, died few days before
tie marriage, and his successor in her
affections has now shared similar
fate.
It seamsthat sundry ancient females
