AIR MOTOR TEST FOR CENTRAL
PRESIDENT CALLAwAY THINKS TT WOULD
BE OF SERVICE BETWEEN THIS CITY
AND POUGHKEEPsIE.

Railroad people are taking considerable inter-
est in the report that the New-YOrk Central
Railroad is interested in the Compressed Air
Company. Of this city. which last week Thurs
day bought the Rome Locomotive and Machine
works. In railroad circles Il is said that ths
central officials have an understanding with the
new owners Of the locomotive and machine
works in Rome. and that a number Of COM
pressed air locomotives will be built at once for
use by the Central. When President Galloway
was seen yesterday he said;
The Compressed Air Company people have
been to see US. and we understand that they are
going TO build some large motors. We shall be
glad to see a practical motor OF great power pro-
duced. but this company is not directly inter-
ested in the works at Rome.
Mr.. Galloway said he understood that the
compressed air motors were giving better salts
faction on the Twenty-eg ghth and Twenty ninth
St crOsstOwn roads in this city than formerly.
and he added that il would be great thing II
a compressed air locomotive capable OF drawing
a heavy train could be used by the Central be-
tween the Grand Central Station and POugh-
keepsie.
President Galloway said that there was no
decided to acquire the Central New England
and POughkeepsie Bridge Railroad IF I had
S3O.OO0OOO think I could put il TO better use
than to buy that road said he He also denied
that the Central had any intention Of develop
ing the Reading road into a great through route
for the West by using the Buffalo, Rochester
and PittsbuTg to the latter point

BIG JUDGMENTAGALNST CITY
MUST PAY ss1s.O74 80 IN OLD PATENT
RIGHT SUIT OVER FIRE HOSE VALVE.

A judgment against the city OF New-York for
SS1S074 - for damages and interest on that
account since May IA. 1897. was entered in the
United States Circuit Court yesterday by Benner
Benner attorneys for Christopher c. Camp
bell, assignee In trust
The action was the outcome of litigation that
has been going since 1877. over the alleged
infringement of patent by the city In 1864
James Knibbs patented an appliance for shut
ting off the water in fire hose without doing in
jury to the hose damaging the engine. Be
fore Knibbs invented his valve the flow Of water
was checked at the nozzle. and this resulted in
undue strain on hose and engine. causing
frequent breakages OF both.
Suit was begun because the city adopted the
new appliance without obtaining any license
from the patentee In May. 1897. Judge Wheeler
fixed the damage at SS1S074 50. He decided
that the city had saved more than $4,000 by
the preservation of hose by the appliance.
$4,000 in wages to machinists, and more than
S6OO,OOO by the lessening OF the number Of men
that 1t was necessary TO employ.
The rights OF the various persons involved in
the case were several years ago assigned in
trust TO Ruel Philbrook. of Boston. but soon be-
fore Judge Wheeler's judgment he died. and this
was the cause of several years delay in the
entry OF the judgment. George L. Crum. who is
connected with the Equitable Life Assurance
Society, was finally agreed on by all interested
TO succeed Mr.. Philbrook.
1t is said that 100000 OF the city's funds has
been spent in fighting the claim The city's Of
fers of compromise were always refused.
Mr.. Crum contends that appeal over
S1OOoO00 will be added 10 the amount OF the
judgment through the recognition by the Appel
late Court OF certain claims for damages which
were refused by Judge Wheeler. The case on
appeal it is said. will consist of ten thousand
pages, and cost the city $4,000 to print.

ALONE.

When a million hearts are throbbing
With the selfsame pain you know;
When million souls are mourning
With as poignant, bitter woe:
When the world is full of trouble
Just as hopeless as your own.
You are not alone, my brother.
In your grief you're not alone.
When a billion hearts are leaping
With joy akin TO thine;
When a billion souls are basking
In the glorious. glad sunshine
In the radiant, rosy beauty
Glancing from the great white throne,
You are not alone. my brother,
In your joy you're not alone.
When ten thousand hearts are longing
To impart their need OF cheer:
When ten thousand tongues are waiting
To breathe comfort in your ear;
Every joy and grief and passion
You have ever felt or known
Lives I'm other hearts. my brother
Never say again, 'Alone."
