A RECORD BREAKER.
Train Over Half Mile Long Pulled Into
Waterville Tuesday Night.
(Waterville Mail. }

Railroad men of 20 or 25 years ago
often stand in blank wonder when they
see some of the trains that are hauled
over the Maine Central nowadays. With
in the time of service of some who are
even now young men, comparatively, 10
or 20 cars were considered q good sized
train.
Now the road-bed has been improved,
the locomotives are made three times as
large as they were then, and there seems
to be no limit to the number OF freight
cars that the machines will haul over
the line Almost every day one can see
trains made up of 40 or SO cars and 60
cars or over are not an uncommon thing.
1t must be remembered, too, that the cars
are all made longer and heavier now
than they were 25 years ago, and instead
of 10 tons making car load the cars in
use now are capable of carrying from 30
to 80 tons each.
AS before stated, trains OF 60 cars or so
are by no means rare sight on the
Maine Central, but new record was
made by train No. Al, due here at 7.15
D. M, Tuesday evening. That train
hauled into this station made up of IS
cars and the ca boose, and was probably
the longest train ever hauled on the
Maine Central 1t was drawn by one OF
the largest mogul locomotives on the
road with Councilman Frank B. Lowe.
"Old Moon at the throttle, and George
Lint as conductor. Of course the cars
were not all loaded, and long line OF
empty flats were included in 1T.
sc not HI faIt, iaT
many interesting things about the train
aside from it's being the longest train
ever seen on the road. An average
freight car Is somewhere about 35 feet
between the ends Of the CO uplers. Many
are longer, and very few are shorter, and
Consequently the line of cars was at least
1850 feet long. Besides thissthere is about
foot of "slack'' between each car, OF
n early 100 feet on train of that length,
nearly $500 feet in all, or a train of cars
considerably over half a mile long.
Think Of the conductor going over his
train to speak word to his engineer and
walking half mile to get there. Think
Of the engineer half mile away from the
station and wondering whether his con.
ductdr and brakeInen were about ready
to give him the signal that they were
alb ard all right and ready to go on. Re.
member, also, that the engineer from his
cab window looking back for his real
flags to make sure that his train had
not broken apart could only catch sight
of those flags once or twice on the whole
run from Brunswick to Waterville on &C.
count Of curves in the road. The train
holds the record; when will it be beatenf

DOUBTFUL STO RY.

Berlin. July 29.-The London CORE
spondent Of the Cologne Gazette says:
sI learn that the United States recently
requested Italy to abstain from forcible
pliance with Mr.. Oleveland's award in
the Cerruti claim, promising American
influence to ensure the payment. Italy
replied that her patience was exhausted
and that she would abide by the ultima
turn of Admiral Gambaini. The
Washington government then applied
Or officially to Great Britain, asking her
to use her influence at Rome in support
of the American request. England's reply
is not vet diyulged."
