ANOTHER FOR ENGINES
The Richmond Locomotive Works to
Build Twelve for the Southern.
MORE MEN TO Be GIVEN EMPLOYMENT.
Tho Passenger Engines Are the HeAvieh
Yet Made for Trsfic In tho South-Ths
Fret Two Locomotives of Previous
Order OF Eight Sent Out Yesterday.

Tho Richn ond Locomotive Works were
yesterday awarded by the Southern rail-
way an order for twelve locomotives IN
competition with oll tho builders in this
country. Ten OF these are heavy con-
solidation freight locomotives with Xix
2S" cylinders. and the other two are ten
wheel passenger engines with tho same
size cylinders. Both classes OF engines
are equipped with the latest and most
improved appliances known in the art
Of locomotive building.
HEAVY MACHINES.
The passenger engines arc very heavy.
and IL Is understood will be used on the
fast schedules from Washington soutn.
These engines will be equipped with
automatic bell-ringer. brakes on drivers
tender and engines truck, boiler cover
ed with magnesa TO insure hgntness,
automatic sanding device. steam heating
connection. wheel centres OF east steel
and engine and tender truck wheels
steel tired.
A VALUABLE ORDER.
The value OF this order is about
$3.50. 600, and as the average engine OF 10
day is worth from 5000 TO 5000. some
idea may bs had Of the size and ap-
pointments OF these very modern ma
chimes
The Locomotive Works will commence
on this handsome order at once, and
will begin to deliver the engines In July.
Extra men will be employed TO MI
the order, and tho work will be pushed
forward as rapidly as possible. Ihese
passenger engines are the heaviest ever
ordered for traffic in the south. This
shows that tho road-bed OF the line over
which they VIII be run is in fine condi-
ton and is prepared to operate the heav-
lest engines made.
There are now between 500 and 600 men
at work at this big plant. and there IS
a busy air about the place.
FILLING ANOTHER ORDER.
Two locomotives hauled by third un-
der steam were seen in the yards OF the
Richmond Locomotive Works yesterday
morning. These are a part OF the order
given by the Charleston and Western
Carolina Railway about sixty days ago.
The remaining seven Will follow at IN
tervals OF one engine every two or three
davs. When IL IS considered that II takes
from two 70 three weeks to get much
OF the material here. and a locomotive
has from seven hundred 20 thousand
parts. on many OF which several opera
tions are required. an idea may be had
OF the facilities OF this large enterprise.

STATES BILL CUT DOWN.
Get but So Per thousand Feet for
School Land Timber

A case of much interest and of decided
moment to the lumber trade of Minnesota
mat CT The State OF Minnesota VS.. The Shev-
lin-CarpenteT Company which has been in
progress in the Hennepin county courts for
I'VE days past, came to an end Yesterday af-
ternccn, when the jury brought in a yerd. let
AWARDING the state 81 per thousand for certain
TIMBER CIT n q &C: COL district belonging TO the
state of Minnesota
In the winter of 1894 the Shevlin-Carpen-
ter company secured from the state of Mime
sofa a permit to cut timber from a certain
school district the state to receive 81
per thousand for such timber The timber
was cut, brought to Minneapolis over the
Eastern Minnesota railway and placed in
booms at the mills of the acknowledgements
company.
Subsequently the pine lands investigation
committee through its attorney, Harris Rich
ardson brought suit against the Shevlin-Car-
penter company, claiming by writ of re-
plevin the entire amount of sawlogs lying in
the boom Of the Shevlin-Carpenter company
which had been cut in accordance with the
permit received from the state The claim
was made that the permit had been improp-
erly issued, in that provision of the law had
been overlooked in the issuance of such per-
nit. Upon this technicaity suit was brought
to recover to the state all of the timber cut
from the school district in question, which
represented to the Shevlin-Carpenter COM
pany, it lay in their booms, an expendi-
ture Of about $4,000.
The case came up for trial before Judge
Russell in 1894, the court holding that the
state should not be allowed. Harris Richard
son. the attorney for the pine lands investi-
eating committee, carried it to the supreme
court which court held that the permit was
void, in accordance with the strict reading
of the law, but that if the defendants could
show good faith in cutting the timber, the
only amount that could be recovered was a
fair market price for the timber as it stood
on the section before being cut.
The case was tried again in 1895 before
Judge Seagrave Smith, and verdict rem
dered awarding the state an amount so ex
Sessve that the court ordered new trial.
Attorney Richardson again carried the mat
ter to the supreme court, where the ruling
of Judge Smith sustained, thus awarding
the defendants the right of a trial
The third trial commenced last week. The
defendants claimed that inasmGch as the state
had seen fit to abrogate the contract which
they, the defendants, were w ling to carry out
at any time, thereby agreeing to pay full
amount due in strict accordance with the
contract price, they were at liberty to accept
the ruling of the supreme court and pay
only the market price of the timber as it
originally stood on the section which they
claimed to be g per thousand
The case occupied five days, and, as stated
above the state awarded the price
claimed by the defendants to be the market
price at the present time
