The theater, art and science have

gratuitous instruction to every one.
In the fall there is an annual indus

with each year receives a greater

THE HEAVIEST B. 8 o. TRAIN.

When the receivers OF the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad began the now famous
series of improvements OF the physi-
cal condition of the e-tire 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
ering 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 a 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 new
22x2S inch consolidation locomotive
weighing 168,700 pounds and having
"a inch driving wheels. The start was
made from Cumberland, Md, and the
destination was Brunswick, Nd, on
the second division. In his report Gen.
ersl Superintendent Fitzgerald says
the train was pulled with comparative
ease and that the class of engines USED
will be able to handle so cars OF 81
tons capacity each on that division
without trouble. Hitherto the trail
load on that division has been 325 unit
OF 61a tons each or about 1900 tons,
40 per cent increase over that OF nv
years ago. The so car train was com
puted as containing 497 units, or 6,45S,
100 pounds gross. The net weight o
coal in the train was 4.75S, 100 pounds
