al towing purposes.

er constructed on inland waters. Her
dimensions are: Length, 212 feet;
beam, 43 feet; breadth over all, 90
feet, and depth of hold, six feet. She
carries a battery of seven main boil
ers, each A inches in diameter by 26
feet in length, and has one niger
boiler Her tremendous engines are
of the Mcconnell type of tandem
compound condensing engine, and
were built by the Marietta Manufact-
uring Company, of Marietta.
Her high pressure cylinders are
each u inches in diameter. with g.
foot stroke and weigh three and one
half tons. The low pressure cylin-
ders have a diameter of A inches and
weigh nine tons each, being the larg
est ever cast in the Ohio Valley. 1t

ment of four cylinders weight rs tons
even. Her wheel shaft is eighteen
inches in diameter in the center and
fifteen and one-half inches in the

only slightly damaged. The animal
becoming frightened ran down the
thoroughfare at a lively rate of speed
and was stopped shortly afterwards.
