FOUR LOCOMOTIVES A DAY.
Activity and Expedition in a Great
Locomotive Works.
Philadelnhia Puhlic Ledger.

Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Never before in the history Of the Bald
win locomotive works has it turned out as
large a product as 1t is doing to-day and
never has ii employed so many men. In
October in twenty-six working days 104 To-
comotives were completely built, an av-
erage of four per day. In November. with
twenty-five working days. ninety-two To-
comotives were built and shipped No other
like establishment in the world has ever
Appropriated that achievement.
In comparing the work done with the
records of former years Ii must be borne
in mind that the locomotives of to-day
are very much heavier and larger than
those turned out but a few years ago. No
railroad company now orders for its main
lines, either for freight or passenger serv-
ice. Acton or 50-ton engine. such as were
common ten years ago: but the standard
sizes now are from 80 TO 40 tons.
The largest output OF engines for any
year prior TO 1899 was in $780, when the
Baldwin works turned out 946 locomotives,
or an average of rs per month. That was
in the days of small engines. Since then
the demand has been falling off. the last
good year being 1885, From that time until
1898 the business was paralyzed, the rail-
roads ordering about half as many as were
required 10 keep up the ordinary wear and
tear. The sudden revival of business dur
ing the last year has compelled the roads
to replace the worn-out engines. and the
demand is for the latest type and the
largest capacity.
A look into the Baldwin works yesterday,
in company with. a member of the firm,
where 1880 men are now at work, gave
some insight into the methods by which
such rapid work is done. The introduction
of electrical machine tools has made a rev.
olution in some branches of the manufac-
ture. When two electric cranes were put
into the erecting shop. a few years ago,
they dispensed with three hundred men.
One man now, by lifting his hand as a sig
nal to the motorman, can at once pick up
a smokestack or other heavy part and set II
in It's place, the entire movement being un-
der the direction OF one will, the whole
thing being done before he could have as
sembled his men under the former method
In the boring building the introduction of
motors to operate the lathes also made IL
possible TO use electric canes, as these
could not have been used in conjunction
with the old-time shafting. IT is interesting
to note that the introduction of these labor
saving machines was a distinct advantage
to the workmen. who now turn out more
work and get better pay for IL than before
From present indications the year 1900 will
I, witness the greatest business in locomotive
building yet seen. not only In numbers, but
very much more In tonnage, as the average
weight of engines built to-day is 65 per
cent. greater than the average OF ten years
ago.

HYDE PARK, N. H, JAN 6-Julia Mar
lowe Tabor has been granted q divorce
from her husband, Robert Tabor. The Pc
titioner had three charges on which she
based her request for legal separation, but
the court threw out the Allegation of deser-
ton and refusal to support and considered
and approved that Of alleged cruel and in
tolerable severity. The court granted Mrs.
Tabor's request for alimony. fixing the sum
at $1,000 Mrs. Tabor's deposition. the chief
one, was borne out by verbal testimony
given by her maid, Miss Beatty. 1t was to
the effect that the petitioner was married
under the name of Sarah Frances Frost, in
Philadelphia. May "a, 1894. The conjugal
relations between the petitioner and her
husband were pleasant until 1885, when the
latter exhibited evidences of jealousy
which condition at times caused him to lay
hands on her and at one time he threw the
petitioner out of bed and choked her. In
1896 the petitioner claims her husband
ceased to contribute to her support.

GOOD RAILROAD NEWS.

The Construction Work of
the M. & 0. Ry. Well Un-
der Way and Is Almost
Certain to Be Completed
This Fall.
The M. & o. grading contracts have
all been let and the contractors have
commenced piling up the dirt along the
line. Morse & Son, of this city, have
the four miles nearest to Manchester,
and they have already completed more
than mile Of the grading. Henry S.
Boyle, brother-in.law of VIM. Barr,
of Honey Creek township, and railroad
contractor OF large experience, has the
balance of the grading. The. contract
was not awarded to him until Monday
of this week, but he is already getting
his outfit onto the ground and has con-
tracted to have his part Of the road
ready for the ties in 40 days. 1t is I'M
derstood with the contractors that in
the employment Of help, preference
shall be given to our home people, and
it is not probable that any teams will
be brought here from a distance if
teams enough can be procured in Della.
ware County.
The depot will adjoin, or be in. close
proximity to the west side of the cleo
trio light power house, and the coal
sheds, stock yards and buildings of that
character will be back near the river
and north OF the north line of Main
Street. The terminal facilities will be
all that anyone could desire. In fact
1t is doubtful whether better terminal
facilities can be found in a place the
size of Manchester anywhere else in the
state.
The Manchester Construction Com
pany, which has the contract for the
construction of the entire road, is ne
gotiating for everything necessary for
Its completion this fall. and continu.
ance for sixty days more of the loyal
support of the community will see the
hopes of the people for better shipping
facilities practically realized.
Joseph Hutchinson, the construction
company's general manager, is pus hing
the work all along the line, and is just
about the right man for the place.
If anyone knows of anything they
can do to help the project along it is in
order for them to volunteer. This is
Manchester, or rather a Delaware
county enterprise, and it will be a con
venience and a benefit, not alone to
Mansh ,ster and its immediate vi.
cinity, but to the greater part of the
county, and the entire county is inter-
ested in its early completion.

Congregational Church Dedicated.

The dedicatory services of the Con-
gregational church last Sunday morn
ing and evening were love feast to
the many friends of that church in
Manchester and vicinity. The seating
capacity of the new structure was tried
to Its full limit for. both services and no
audience was ever more deeply in
touch with the reverent joy felt by
pastor and members alike over the
happy contamination of the past years
hopes. In the morning Rev. Van Horn
took as his text the twelfth verse of the
fourth chapter of Acts and his sermon
was an earnest and able effort holding
the interest of his hearers to the end.
The financial statement Of Mr.. ]. f.
Graham who announced, on behalf of
the building committee, the need of
about four thousand dollars to clear all
Indebtedness on the new building, was
followed by Rev. 7. o; Douglass who
raised about thirty-five hundred dollars
in an incredibly short time. The
evening service was preceded by half
hour of music, preliminary organ ser.
vice, thoroughly enjoyed BY The aud

trained voices were especially note.
