Rails Cheapest in This Country.
It is authoritatively announced that
the raiImakers have reduced the price
of rails eor large orders from s35 to SIS
per gross ton, delivered on cars at either
western or eastern mills. Based on the
past years record. it IS probably safe
10 assume that this price win hold good
during the coming year. There seems
to be no doubt that this viii result in
placing large orders, for it is doubtless
true that orders have been held for
some time in expectation OF lower
prices. Although $40 is probably not as
low a price as the railroad companies
would wish to buy rails for. still at this
price they can have the satisfaction Of
knowing that it is IS a ton less than
English railroad companies pay for their
rails. and about So a ton less than con
tinental companies pay. It IS doubtless
a fact that the United States is now the
cheapest rail market in the world

NEW ENGINE FOR BOATS

Patented by Capt. l.. w. InGIebright.
of Martins Ferry-PrOmfses to he
OF Great Value for River Navfga-
ton.
Capt. L. W. Inglebright, of Martins
Ferry, has just received notice that his
patents for new marine engine will
be granted. Although the knowledge
OF this new engine has been kept quiet,
the news OF same has quietly spread to
all riyermen, who to-day are much In
terested in the new engine. The en-
CINE will be known as the patent cut
off automatic and adjustable engine,
without any eccentrics, levers, valves
or side pipes, and will save about forty
per cent. Of waste, also much weight;
but with an abundance of. power, 1t
has only one valve, where the Coriiss
engine has four. This, by experienced
rivermen, is thought to be a great i'm
provement. This engine has its
greatest pressure at the center of the
cylinder. j. ]. Lisby, mechanical en-
gineer and draughtsman of much ex-
perience and ability, has had charge
of the plans, and also the construction
of these new engines. Mr.. .Lisby has
had a corps of draughtsmeny under him
for several weeks, and has at present
finished all the plans and drawings for
the patterns. Many mechanical en-
gineers have called on Mr.. Lisby. and
all have expressed themselves that the
engine he is constructing for Captain
Inglebright will revolutionize the ma
rine engines of to-day. When the en-
gines are completed the we'll known
mechanical engineers of Pittsburg will
be present to make a test of the saw
ing Of fuel, extra power, etc. They are
c. Garlock, George Shaw and others.
who will assist Mr. Lisby. Mann's
foundry is making the patterns and
also the castings, and the other work
is rapidly going on. This new engine
will be.of great interest to rivermen,
who are looking forward to its COM
pletion with little doubt but what it
will be success.
