improvements in the speed Of GER

Improvements in the speed Of cer-
tain trains on the Northern railway
of France are attracting attention in
Europe just now. says the New York
Tribune. The distance between Ca
lais pier and the Nord station in Paris
is 1855 miles. Some trains make the
trip in less than four hours, or at the
rate of 50 or more miles an hour. One,
which runs only four days week,
the Mediterranean train de luxe, COW
ers the distance in three hours aud a
quarter. which is equal to 81 miles an
hour. This run is made without
stop. The fastest time made on a
daily train on the Northern railway
of France is three hours and half,
or So miles an hour. One of the Lon
don newspapers, referring to the
topic. says that the nearest approach
to this speed in England are these
two: The trip. is made from Pad
dington 10 Exeter, 1914 miles, in 3
hours and 43 minutes. or at the rate
of 522 miles an hour, and from Eus-
ton to Liverpool. 1887 miles, in three
hours and three-quartcrs, or at the
rate of SIG miles an hour. 1t is in
teresting to compare with these fig
ures the running time of the Empire
State express. This train covers 444
miles in eight hours and a quarter.

CLAIM FOR WORK DONE IN 1897
The Auditors Report on the Case OF
q. ThOmns & Son.

The AUDITORS Report On the Case OF
G. ThOmns & Son.
Messrs. G. Thomas & Son have been in
formed by the Commissioners that thei,
claim for work alleged to have been done
at the Congress Heights school house in
| September, 1897, is disputed by the Audi
tor of the District. whose report is ap-
pended.
In his report ]. T. Petty, the Auditor,
says that the firm was awarded contract
1853, for the construction OF the Congress
Heights school building, which was COM
pleted in 1897. While the work was in
| progress Mr.. Petty says that under date
of August 81, 1897, the firm received a
| written order to bridge the joists on four
floors, for which they were to receive the
sum Of $40. They state says Mr.. Petty,
that they did the work as directed, but
failed to receive payment therefor, be-
cause they were unable to find the vouch-
er at the time OF final settlement. Now,
having found the paper. they present it
and ask for payment.
In contravention OF this statement the
Auditor cites a report made to the In
spector of Buildings by James j. Camp
bell, who superintendent the work of con-
struction for the District. This report Is
dated September 9, 1897, two days after
the Issuance of the order for extra work,
and which contains with other data the
following statement:
HE. Contractor Thomas. did not bridge
the joists. countermanded the order as
directed by you, as he was going to use
one inch lumber"
Mr.. Petty calls attention to the fact
that at the bottom of the above report
the following note by the Inspector OF
Buildings is added:
Notified Mr.. Thomas verbally, Sep
TENDER 8, 1897"
After these quotations from official pa
gers Mr.. Petty continues: 1T further ap-
pears that the contract was not COM
pleted within the time limit, which ex-
pired September /. 1897, and that on the
18th day of that month the District au-
thorities took the building from the con-
tractors, deducting from their voucher for
final settlement 81 per day, or a total OF
$50, for extra superintendent during The
period between September ] and Septem-
Der IS, 1897, rendered necessary by the
failure of the contractors to complete the
building on the date fixed by contract,
but waving penalties which that instru-
ment authorized the District 10 exact in
case of failure.
THE contractors accepted payment, pro-
testing against the deduction of $50 for
cost of extra superintendent. but making
no claim whatever for pay for the extra
work in question"
In view of the facts disclosed by the
official records the claim must. in the opin-
ion of Mr.. Petty. he disailowed.
