Improved Steam Valve.

A patent steam valve for the heating
of passenger coaches has been invent
ed by John r. Deisher, an employe Of
the Pennsylvania railroad residing at
Pottsville, which will probably be
adopted by the railroad companies
throughout the country. The new de-
vice which weighs about forty pounds,
will take the place of the four or five
valves now used
The valve is placed in the center of
the passenger coaches and a steam
pipe from the engine passes through
it. BY turning a small lever the steam
can be shut off from any car desired
while the steam passes along into the
other cars. BY leaving the lever open
part of the steam passes into each car
and the back one is as well heated as
the front ones. Another lever closes
the valve on the rear car preventing
any of the steam from escaping.
The invention relates to steam dis
tributing to cars where radiators are
used. After the steam passes through
the cars it is returned by vacuum
pump or other device on the lOcomo-
tive to the boiler. Its object is to pro-
vide an iproved construction of valve
mechanism connecting with the radia-
tors in the cars and the boiler of the
engoine whereby superior advantages
are secured with respect to efficiency
in operation.
The inventor is looking for capital

The Diamond flats land embraced in

Barring and others, comprises sixty
eight acres, and four acres were pur-
chased by Attorney Browning. The
purchasers in both deals have not yet
organized, and aside from the closing
of the negotiations, nothing has been
done.
Mr.. Browning stated that nothing
will be done until the company is
formed, and plans arranged for utiliz-
ing the land. 1t is contemplated, how
ever, to erect a plant for the construc-
ton of steam heating apparatus.
Regarding the statement that a
Pittsburg steel concern was interested
in the purchase of the land bought by
Messrs. Foster and Barring, the for
mer said yesterday that any announce
ment at this time was premature.
The land was purchased, Mr.. Foster
said, for building purposes, but just
what will be located there is not

Otis Harlan Coming.

Otis Harlan comes to the Lyceum
theater on Saturday. Sept 80, in a
new comedy. 1t had its first produce
ton at Poughkeepsie last Monday night
and the POughkeepsie Enterprise, a
very conservative publication, says the
following of it:
HARLAN HAS A SURE HIT.
They tried it on the dog as the
say in the profession, here last night,
and the Poughkeepsie canine, which has
seen good many theatrical expert
ments, never saw one that it liked bet
ter, 1t was Otis Harlan's debut as a
star and the trial of a new play, My
Innocent Boy" by George r. Sims. of
England, in which country the scene
is laid. The piece has been success
fully played in London, but last night S
performance was its first in this coun-
try. 1t was remarkably smooth for
a first night.
MI Harlan impersOnated a young
architect, who is a, widower with a IL
year-old daughter in a boarding school,
and who, having kept his first mar
rage always secret, marries a beau
tlful girl with the blessing of his father
who thinks him in truth his innocent
boy 1t is the complications that
arise out of the architects efforts to
keep his secret from his wife and faith
er that causes all the fun of the farce.
Harlan interpolates several bright
original songs Of his own composition.
The supporting company is first class
and Harlan had to share laughs with
Joseph Allen, who played an exceed
ingly funny pater familias.
New York will see My Innocent
Boy on, Oct. ., and it looks from here
like a great hit"
