Anthracite CoalBurning Locomotives
on the Pennsylvania Railroads At
lantic City Line
The Pennsylvania Railroads double
track line to Atlantic City is as COM
pletely equipped as any railroad line
in tho country. The entire line is laid
with acknowledgement steel rails, and
the roadbed has. during the pact
Winter, been ballasted throughout its
length with stone. The experiment
with oil on the tracks was not satis-
factory. so in order to make the best
roadway possible. broken stone was
substituted. and the standard of the
roadway is as high now as that of the
main line stone gives out no dust,
and consequently one Of the most ser
ious objections to travel over the light
soil Of New Jersey is entirely eliminated
There are few cuts" on the line. but
where they do exist their sides have
been enriched with earth and sOwn in
grass seed. so as to prevent the swiftly
moving trains from taking up dust
from that quarter.
The locomotives used between Phila-
delphia and Atlantic City are not only
the fleetest on the system. but they
burn hard coal. so that the amount OF
smoke and its incidental dirt is reduced
to the minimum. This class of engines
will be used on all fast trains 10 and
from Atlantic City this season, and one
may expect as clean a ride TO the sea-
side as the New York Division could
afford.
An hour from Market Street and 9
fraction over an hour from Broad STREE
Station over a dustless roadway, in
trains that run as smoothly as a rub
ber-tired automobile, add new ant
hitherto unenioyed pleasures to the tril

BROWN LEFT TOWN.
Former City Clerk of MankatO Was
Short I'm His Accounts.

MANKATO, Mimi, Jan. 20.-(Spec.al)-
At a meeting of the city council last even
! ing 1t was decided to bring criminal pro-
ceedingS against Henry w. Brown, for
mer city recorder. Brown was recorder
| a number of years ago, and a short time
ago reelected to the office. 1t was dis
covered that he was several hundred dol
| lars short in his accounts, and an oppor-
tunity was given him to make the money
good without making public matter of
the affair This he refused to do. He was
succeeded in office by Calvin Smith, who
was forced to resign because he was be-
hind in his accounts.
Mr. Brown was again elected to the pO-
sition. and 1t appears that he made hay
while the sun shone. Last summer an
expert from Minneapolis examined the
books, and Brown was discovered to be
about 81 800 short. While the expert was
making his examination Brown left town,
going to Mineral City, Va. where he is
employed by his brother-in-law, Mr..
Mann manager of a coal mine. An at
torney here has been representing
Brown, and for time 1t was thought
settlement could be reached, but moth
ing has been done in that direction.
Browns case will be brought to the at
tention of the grand jury, which meets
here in February
Brown, in connection with other deals,
is alleged to have taken money paid into
the police court by inmates of houses OF
ill-fame, the recorder contendlng that
these fines were illegally collected. and
that he had as much right to them as the
city.
Mr.. Browns family Is residing here.
and all are we'll connected, Mrs. Brown
being a direct descendant of one of the
most prominent generals that fought for
the colonies in the Revolutionary war

this woman is mentally deranged, but
that she is not sufficiently insane as to
