THE HEAVIEST B. & o. TRAIN.

When the receivers Of the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad began the now famous
series of improvements OF the physi-
cal condition Of the entire system,
their object was to increase both the
train load and the number Of revenue
tons per mile and at the same time
reduce the cost of transportation
Much has been done, and by the low
ertng OF grades, elimination Of curves,
laying OF new steel rails and the pur-
chase of heavy motive power they have
very materially added to the number OF
cars per train. But it was not until
the 18th of March last that demon
stration was made Of what might be
expected of the new Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad. Enough new 50-ton capac-
ity steel cars had been delivered to
give the operating department chance
to experiment. Fifty steel cars, each
weighing $4,000 pounds, were loaded
with an average of $4,000 pounds Of
coal To them was coupled a new
22x28 inch consolidation locomotive
weighing 16S,700 pounds and having
81 inch driving wheels. The start was
made from Cumberland, Nd, and the
destination was Brunswick, Nd, on
the second division. In his report Gen
eral Superintendent Fitzgerald says
the train was pulled with comparative
ease and that the class Of engines used
viii be able to handle so cars Of 80
tons capacity each on that division
without trouble Hitherto the train
load on that division has been 325 units
Of 611z tons each or about 200 tons, a
10 per cent increase over that Of five
years ago. The so car train was COM
puted as containing 497 units, or G. 45S.-
100 pounds gross The net weight OF
coal in the train was 4.T5S, 100 pounds.

''Germany's policy is to prevent
other powers from obtaining what
she cannot acquire herself"
After we had spoken of Samoa as
an evidence of the German policy, the
admiral said: we need a large and
thoroughly equipped navy that can
cope with any other power on earth.
England is our natural ally at this
time, and differences such as those
about the Venezuelan border and the
fisheries question should not interfere
with the friendly understanding ex-

Germany has come to the front with
a curious contrivance which will rem
der the claque in theaters superf1uou5,
and substitute for it a machine per-
forming the same duties. The in
genious inventor, Herr Zimmerman,
has ascertained that two leather sacks,
filled with air. when brought violently
together make a noise precisely like
that produced by the clapping of hands.
He placed pairs Of leather sacks in
hidden places throughout a theater,
and then connected them by wires with
the wing so that they could be set in
motion by electricity on a button be-
ing pressed. The regisseur in the
wings controls the apparatus in ali
parts of the house, and can produce ap-
plause from the gallery, the pit or the
stalls at will. Herr Zimmerman
claims that his invention is now in use
in several theaters in Paris and Berlin
but for obvious reasons declines to say
in which ones.

Baltimore, July 1.-The receiyership
Of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
terminated at II o'clock last night and
the property was turned over 10 the
stockholders without celebration or
formal ceremony. John K. CoTen
and Oscar G. Murray were appointed
receivers Of the company on February
18th, 1896, by the United States court
for the District of Maryland. Being
familiar with the needs Of the property
the receivers decided that the only
wise course to pursue was to pracu-
cally rebuild and re-equip the railroad
The physical condition was bad, its
equipment antiquated and Inadequate
to handle business and its insuthciency
was such as to seriously injure the
revenues. The receivers plans were
discussed by the security holders and
as large majority agreed to the pro-
vision of enough funds to place the
road in condition to handle its traf-
flc, they obtained permission OF the
court to issue certificates for the pur-
chase, by means of equipment trusts
and receivers certificates, of new cars
and locomotives and to improve the
physical condition of the property.
| The plan also provided for the payment
/ in full of all receivers Indebtedness,
| the entire floating debt of the COM
pany, represented by promissory notes
and negotiable obligations and Of all
car trust obligations, enabling the COM
pany to begin the fiscal year Of 1899
1900 with all its obligations paid. For
the reason that reorganization was
possible without q foreclosure, the orig
inal charter of the company remains in
force, and the next annual meeting OF
the stockholders will be the I'D. The
new stock of the company is held by in
terests which cannot fail to be Of great
help to the property and much new
capital has been invested in the Sc
curities, and there is a suficiency Of
money for still further improvements,
which are in progress, with a view to
still further reducing the cost of trans
portation.
