CONSOLIDATED COMPANIES.
TO MAKE LOCOMOTIVES THAT WILL GO
$50 MILES AN HOUR.

The Baldwin Locomotive works o.,
Philadelphia, and. the Washington
Motor Company Of pittsburg have enter.
ed into an agreement for the manu-.
facture of electric engines.

to George Westinghouse, Jr, in eX.
planning the scope of the atfiliation of
interests of the two companies SAID =
"The combination is to develop
the possibilities of the Tesla motor as
applied to the railway service. !
intend to make it possible to ride
from New York to Pittsburg in three
hours. With the Tesla motor We are
assured power to draw car at the
rate of $50 miles an hour or more.
The only thing now is to get cars and
car wheels that will stand the strain of
travelling at that rate of speed. The
Baldwin people assure us that this
can be done"
We now have this system working
at our plant at East Plttsburg, the
only trouble being to get car that
will remain on the track. We believe
that with this union of interests we
will be in operation between Pittsburg
and New York. The present railway
tracks cannot be used. We want air
lines. The cars will be very light and
on the principle of the air ships. We
can run them on trestle work that
would not bear the weight of Pull
man coach. We intend to cross the
mountains by lifts.
"It is only intended to use the lines
for passengers, mail and express.
There will be 20 engines, each car
being provided with its own motor. A
car will not stop until it reaches its
point of destination

In the Republican factional fight
the Hastings combine is losing ground,
and Quay is gaining every day.
Should Quay control the convention
it would be humiliating thing either
for the Governor to be defeated as
chairman of the convention, or to ac-
cept it through the courtesy of Quay.
1t may also make difference in the
nominees for Superior Judges. There
is a nice fight on hand, and Demo.
Gratis can afford to look complacently
on, and smile.

At first it was reported that the
reason why the Roarlngcreek dele
gates to the Republican County Con
vention did not appear in their seats,
was that they were under the influence
Of liquor. This is now denied, and
the story is that they dared not come
in the convention and vote, because
they had accepted money from both
sides. Who handled the money we
don't know, but we do know when
and where and to whom they told
that they had been boodled by both
factions. 1t would not have changed
the result, but this little incident
shows that all parties employ the
same means for accomplishing polti
cal ends, and the boasted honesty anC
purity and integrity of the G.. o. P
is a myth and a delusion.

spirits take flight. 1t is time to accept
the help offered in Doctor Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription. It's medicine which
was discovered and used by a prominent
physician for many years in all cases of
female complaint" and the nervous dis
orders which arise from it. The "Pre-
scription is powerful uterine tonic and
nervine, especially adapted to womans
delicate wants for it regulates and promotes
all the natural functions, builds up invig.
crates and cures.
Many women suffer from nervous pros
tration, or exhaustion, owing to congestion
or to disorder of the special functions. The
waste products should be quickly got rid
of, the local source of irritation relieved
and the system invigorated with the Pre-
scription.' Do not take the so-called
celery compounds, and nervines which
only put the nerves to sleep, but get
lasting cure with DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription.
