passenger trains did the same thing,
and even the conductors had to help
handle the brakes. On the B. & 0.
Fourth division, Fairmont was the
only town which boosted of having
train despatcher's Office, but no train
orders were ever sent over the wire.
The men simply used their own judg-
ment in getting their trains over the
road. The eight wheel engines were,
after a few years service, converted
into what was called the camel back,
and ten wheels were necessary. These
did service many years until finally the
improved engines, such as are in use
on the line now, were substituted. At
one time there was a general strike on
their point, and the company provided
each freight train with such a conyen-
fence for the employees. At the sta
tons along the line no block signals
were used. but one the contrary the
agent came out with his lamp, and if
the train crew felt like stopping they
did and if not they kept on going,
knowing, of course, that there was no
immediate danger. Wonderful other
changes have also been made in every
department of the roads, and to-day
every branch of the train service has
a separate and district organizations.
In each of these the men, when they
have a grievance against the company,
the matter is referred to the proper
people, and the necessary action is
taken With the B. & o. the employees
have an agreement, and during all
these years there has been no differ
ences which have not been adjusted
without the least bit of hard feeling.
This is certainly an item that is com
mendabe on both sides, and if all
other roads worked on the same prin-
ciple it would give better results.
There are many other things which
could be said about the roads which
were in existence fifty years ago. In
ten years from now new improve
ments will be made which will be as
interesting as the ones which have
taken place since the first road was
operated

There is nothing more enjoyable to
the average railroad man who has
seen twenty or thirty years service than
to talk over old times and scenes with
a brother employee who has also stood
the trials that length of time do you
know" said a prominent railroad con-
ductor to the Register man, that | have
been in the railroad business twenty
odd years now and | can tell you that
railroading to-day is certainly a pleas
ure to what it was forty years ago. In
taking you back that far on the Balti
more & Ohio road for instance, there
are many interesting subjects which |
shall speak of, and am confident that
the average railroad man would be in
terested to read When the above road
first commenced operations a freight
engine called the Ross Winan was
used. This engine had eight wheels,
and had the connected hook motion,
and over the heavy grades twenty
two cars of 10000 pounds capacity
were hauled. This, at the present
time, would only be about five freight
cars. At the time these engines were
in service the trains were not equipped
with air brakes, and the men had to
stay on the cars to do that work when
necessary In the winter time the en-
cabooses were furnished at any season
of the year The only chance the men
had to keep warm was while the trains
were going up the grades. The pro-
gress was so slow that they ran along
with the cars, and sometimes got a
bunch of straw, and placed it on the
rear bumper of the last car, and there
they laid exposed to the weather.
There were no organizations in the
railroad line then and many man
was taken off for some trivial matter,
and he had hard chances of ever being
reinstated. In despatching trains that
was another novel feature. Every
operator along the line and every con-
ductor was blessed with the title of
train dispatcher.
Whenever one train reached sta
ton the conductor had the operator
wire the man at the next station if
such train had arrived at his place,
and if it had not he was or
dered to hold the same until the other
train had arrived. No other orders
were necessary, and no wrecks oc-
Cured. The trains only ran about
twelve miles an hour, and even if they
came together it is doubtful if much
damage could have been done Al

Harry the Valet" who, on Wednes-
Gay, pleaded guilty to stealing the
Duchess of Sutherland's Jewels, which
were stolen while the Duchess was on
her way from Paris to London in Oc-
tober last, proves to be an eXtraordin-
airy character The judge has post
poned sentence in order to enable him
to inform the police as to what be-
came of the bulk of the jewels, of
which only $500 ($4000) worth out of
&25,000 ($125,000), contained in the
stolen satchel, were discovered, the
idea being that the prisoner will get
lighter sentence for the information.
The prisoner, however, replied to the
judge that he would not

to be one of the most notorious criminals
of the generation, is of genteel appearance
and has grand air and a frank, engag-
ing look. The prisoner boasts he has
made twenty bigger "hauls" than in the
case of the Sutherland jewels and claims
he reduced robbery to a science, making it
his business to know everybody of wealth
and consequence in Europe. He further
says that he rarely made a mistake, owing
to his cautious prelimnaries, and declared
that the only serious mistake of his career
was when he robbed the Duchess of Dew
onshire, some time ago, of d jewel case
and found to his disguts that he had taken

where his bills were over $50 $3.50. Fin

who informed the police of the share he
had taken in that robbery. Otherwise,
there is every reason to believe that he

The splendid practice of the American
gunners has galvanized the British into d
| critical interest in gun the firing of their
own navy and the results of the enquiries
made are not very re-assuring. The per-
formances of the Mediterranean fleet sup
posed to be the crack British fleet, are
far from satisfactory. The results of the
heavy and light gun prize firing of 1895
just published, shows that with heavy
guns 80 rounds were fired. at knots, and
that the percentage of hits was 50. With
the six-inch quick-firers. steaming u
knots. the average was also 80 per cent
and with the Maxim guns the average was
As per cent. The six-inch quick-firer is
the most used gun in the British SER
vice and the papers point out that it

has much to learn regarding its use In
the case of the smaEed weapons the re-
suits were still more disadvantageous.
and this without the disconcerting effects
of hostile fire. The papers now ask if it is
not time that measures be taken to make
gun practice something more than per-
functory exercise as is the case in many
of the British ships.

There is an cutlery among the dwell
ers in the famous Peabody Buildings,
which were established by the Ameri-
can philanthropist, George Peabody,
who died in 1869, against the proposal
of the trustees to raise the rents. Some
of the tenants have written to papers
complaining that the buildings are
now let to well-to-do artisans, instead
of to the poorest class, for which they
were originally intended. In behalf of
the trustees it is pointed out that the
buildings are managed at a very small
profit, only half the profit produced by
Lord Rowton's lodging houses, and
that an increase of Sd (siX cents)
weekly per room is necessary in order
to enable the scheme to be carried on
successfully.
