A SHORT APPLE CROP.

The apple crop is as short in this
town as the rest of New England.
Many have begun picking in order to
save what they have. They are drop
ping so badly, even what appear perfect
fruit. II the crop, what there is OF it,
should prove of good quality and flavor,
it will be an exception to the rule this
year, as so far nearly all fruit has been
much below the ordinary, especially in
flavor. Growers are not expecting a
crop with good keeping qualities.

The Santa Fe company has just received at Topeka two of the largest engines ever built for pas senger service. They arc having six moro of the same pattern con structed. The engines each weigh over 70 tons, and the driving wheels are as large as those of any ten wheel locomotive ever turned out of an American shop. From rim to rim they measure SIX feet and the cylindels are 2S by l9l inches. The engines are constructed for a pres sure of lS0 pounds of steam, or 2O pounds over what was few years ago considered remarkable pres sure. Tho engines are built especi- ally for pulling heavy loads at a high rate of speed. Trains and 2 are the heaviest on the Santa lfe system, and hardly day now goes by that No. is not cut in two sec tions at Topeka and sent west as two trains, or two engines attached to pull 1t. At points along the line from Topeka to Las Vegas tue grades are unusually heavy, aud singiy, none of the engines now owned by the road, arc able to pull the train on time when the equip ment amounts to eleven or twelve cars. Only ono of the new engines will be required on train of twelve cars, and 1t is expected that even better tune than the present sche- dule can be made with the California trains. The remaining six engines will arrive within thirty days Topeka Journal.
