FREIGHT AGENTS MEET.

Saturday evening the local freight
agents held very interesting session
at the B. & 0. freight Office. The meet
ing was well attended and quite an i'm
portant topic was up for consideration.
For some time past all the roads in this
city have been furnishing the different
shippers with cars to load small ship
ments which are taken to the regular
freight sheds and there reloaded with
out any extra charge for switching.
An order received from the general
freight agents will do away with this
practice to some extent. Under the
new ruling shippers must load the cars
to the minimum weight of 5000 pounds
for first, second and third class, and all
lower than that 10000 pounds must
be placed in them. When the cars are
loaded this heavy there will be no
switching charges, otherwise it will be
81 for each one. The agents at the
meeting fully discussed the subject and
will notify all shippers of the change
at once.

REWARDS FOR EMPLOYEES.

A plan for rewarding Conscientious
efforts to do good work on the part
of ems nemen, firemen, and brakemen,
in freight service has been adopted on
the Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas
Pacific Railway, in the form of semi
annual premiums. The premium for
enginemen is $40 and for firemen $40,
for making schedule time, freedom
from accidents, particular stress being
laid upon accidents from break-in-
twos, tidiness of the engine, and econo-
my in fuel consumption, obedience of
the rules and specially meritorious
acts. The premium for brakemen is
$40, and is based on clean accident
record, specially regarding break-in-
twos, tidiness of caboose, observance OF
rules, and specially meritorious acts.
Any system providing prompt, mate
rial and unprecedented reward for eff
forts to serve employers well must re-
suit favorably. The administration of
a system of this kind requires the ut
most skill and fairness. 1t is believed
to be based on a correct principle in
human nature, and the plan must rec
ommend itself to every one, but with
out the element of scrupulous justice
it had better not be tried.

B. & o. IMPROVEMENTS.

The Baltimore and Ohio Company
will soon begin laying 80 more miles
of S5-pound rails on the Fourth divis-
ion. The gap to be closed is between
Burton and Fairmont, and it is expect
ed that the work will be commenced
some time during this month. The
company have ordered 500 tons of w.
T. Manning's patent rails, which are to
be used on all the curves. This rail
is so made that there is a quarter of
an inch more metal on the inside and
will last fully three years longer than
the regular rails. The company are
also figuring on building many more
side tracks on this division and will
extend the siding at Benton's Ferry to
hold forty more cars. A double track
is also to be constructed between the
West Fairmont shaft and Fairmont.
This is an improvement that is badly
needed as an enormous number of cars
are hauled between these two points
daily. Other important improvements
are scheduled to be made this spring
which will be announced later.

tor, Rev. p. G. w. Metz
enthin, delivered an interesting SER
mon on the subject, The Dumb Devil"
before a large and appreciative congre-
cation. The sermon was taken from
Mark iv. %, the text being Thou dumb
and deaf spirit, come out of him." Rev.
Metzenthin's remarks. in substance.
We're as follows:
The poor devil. Preachers, painters
and other wisecares have abused the
semi-human, hoof and tail-sporting
monstrosity, leaving a scent of sulphur
in his wake.
THE dumb devil once made con-
tract with farmer. He promised an
exceptionally large crop, provided the
farmer would give him that half of the
crop which grew above ground. The
Mariner planted potatoes and sugar
ceive only the weeds. Next year he
wanted everything beneath the sod.
The farmer raised an abundant crop OF
grain for himself-not for the devil.
In the text the dumb devil is as ii
were cheated out of what he considered
his legitimate prey.
There was a time when people
thought to vanquish the devil by fire
and sword. In two centuries 100000
persons were slain as witches. Jesus
routed the evil one by power OF will
and word.
Were any one to malign some one
we love, we would at once respond
either by indignation or doubled fist
Only the other day, perhaps, some one
made your religion the Target for rail-
cry or pun out of Christ's words
What kept you silent? Modesty, inca
pacity or lack of opportunity? No. 1t
was blow on your lips by the wing of
the dumb devil.
:" Even in church this particular
dumb devil takes possession of people
wholesale. Congregational worship
becomes a farce. The minister does
the praying, the choir the singing, and
the con5resation--tho paying.
when suicide Is eulogized and
criminals are made heroes; when hon.
esty is discounted and chastity called
prudery; when Righteousness is honor
able and libertines are gentlemen; when
labor is oppressed and religion Is made
cloak of righteousness; when public
Offices are formed for what can be got
ten out of them; when trust is betray-
ed, faith broken. constitution, laws
yea, the fundamental principles OF
morality are violated with impunity,
should not then the people, the press.
The church and preachers speak? III
these should hold their peace the stones
would Immediately cry out
Are we to wait till religion or polit-
ical acrobats accomplish the impossi-
BILE? All men will not be teetotalers or
church members, yet, when Roosevelt
and Parkhurst tried to establish law
and order in Tenderloin New York;
when even now Mayor Sweeney and
Chief Clemans contemplate removing
the sorest spots and suppressing the
most abominable dens OF vice in Wheel
ing, they should have the hearty sup
port and cooperation of all respect
able people, and Christians should
shout their approval.
Besides words of reDuke and COM
mendation there are words OF love to
be spoken to those who have fallen, to
the moor and lonely. Don't let the dumb
devil act as scare crow, but
eco. with the name Of Jesus, TO the dying.
And speak that name in all It's living

The Wheeling and Lake Erie Com
pany, which has lately passed out Of
the receivers hands is probably one of
the best equipped roads in this part
of the country. Two hundred and
twenty-three miles of track are oper-
ated and 102 locomotives and 10000
cars make up the full equipment In
1890 this road had ~ engines and
something like 5000 cars. This large
increase is due to the heavy business
that the road has been doing the past
several years. The head of the motive
power of the line is Mr.. ]. B. Braden,
one of the best posted men in the
business to-day, and his headquarters
is at Toledo, o. The Register man in
a conversation with him was informed
that ten of the locomotives are ten
wheelers, and are the 80 ton class
and haul 40 loads of the regular &c, 900
pounds capacity. About 40 Of the en-
gines are the sixty-ton class and give
excellent satisfaction. Engine No. q
is another remarkable locomotive, it
being supplied with 72-inch drivers
which enables it to run 70 miles an
hour on straight track.
The main shops are at Norwalk, O.,
but the coaches are repaired at Toledo,
o. At both places very large force
of men are employed and one can i'm
agine just how complete the work is
done when engine No. 81 was taken
to the shops nearly a wreck and turn
ed out inside of two weeks entirely
rebuilt. Another thing this road is
placing on its locomotives and that is
ST l tanks. These have an automatic
and self-measuring device so arranged
that the amount of coal is measured
and registered while out on the road,
thus saving the fireman considerable
bother in keeping track of the fuel
used. Very late improved injectors
are also used on all the engines, which
save the engineers no small amount of
trouble on account of them working so
easily. Everything else this road uses
in the equipment line is new and up
to date, and it is no wonder that this
road has forged so far ahead Of the
other lines during the past five years.
