New Santa Fe Engines.

A travelling engineer of the Dickson
locomotive works of Scranton, Pa, is
in the city putting up toe large con-
solidation engines built by the Dick
son works for the Santa Fe. The or
der given the Dickson works was for
FIVE engines ard they will be delivered
here this north.
The cylinders are II by %, 56-inoh
drive wheels. The engine is ct the
Player 1O-wheel pattern for use on the
Ration mouptains. The engine alone
ready for service weighs eighty tons.
The Dickson works have an order for
two engines for the D. & H., two for
the Green Bay & Western, and two for
Japan that are being built with bras
stacks and copper steam pipes. The
Dickson works built the large engine
cylinders that we're used in the ILL

The new engines are.equipped with 2
tank carrying 5000 gallons of water.
and eight tons of coal, The tanks are
fitted with Boyce steel wheels that do

Which Goes to New Orleans
Assertions Accident,

Thursday afternoon while the HER.
AID newsbOys were waiting for the
papers which were running off the
press, q number of them commenced q
fusillsde of brickbs against q sheet
iron tank that made such q noise the
manager of the job Office, Mr.. F. w.
Brown, could not prosecute his work
of reading proof upon q brief. Mr..
Brown went to the door and asked the
boys to stop, which they did, but as
soon as he returned to his work the
noise commenced more furious than
ever. He again went out, and as he
did SO picked up a strip about three
feet long, and as t. e boys ran away he
threw the stick to fall short ST the ones
running, which it did. However,
little Eddie Andrews, con of Otis An
drews, the Green Grocer, who was sit
ting quietly on the steps leading to
the basement and who could not be
seen by Mr.. Brown, received the full
force Of the strip, the end of same
striking him squarely on the rose,
breaking same and causing hemOr-
rhag' which at the time did not seem
serious but last night the little fellow
was very restless and the parents and
frier DIS are quite anxious this morning
cor corning the outcome of the acct
dent.
The accident is greatly regretted and
Mr.. Brown is extremely cut up over
the matter. He is an even-tempered
man and no one who knows him well
would believe that he would throw q
stick ints nding to harm a child, no
matter what the prOvccatiOn.

To Ahate the Dust Nuisance.

The dusty condition of the roadbed

the comfort Of passengers and the
maintenance of the rolling stock, and
more attention is likely to be paid to it
in the future. The great bulk of the
railway track of this country is ballast
ed with gravel, says the Engineering
News, ard this is likely to continue to
be the case. UnfCrtun a'ely, almost
any kind of stuff met with en- the liz e

gravel is considered as suitable for
ballast in the original construction OF
the road, and when once used it is on y
in rare instances that it is replaced by
a better material. On many such roads

In the spring, ow. yer, much OF the
roadbed is ttrn up for tie renewals,
so that Just when the summer tourist

comfort to passengers, dusty roadbeds
have no small influence in prodrc ng
hot boxes and in increasing the wear
of car journals, crank pin bearings,
or yss cal, eccentrics en- / ott er parts
of the machinery.
One way 10 avoid these difficulties
when the renewal of ballast is undesir-
able is to spray the track with oil by
means of special devices. This has
been tried on some of the lines of the
Pennsylvania railroads with very salts
factory results, and the cost is said to
be less than $50 per mile. One treat
ment will usually suffice for the entire
summer season, and after q few treat
ments the ballast will produce but lit
