DEMAND FOR LOCOMOTIVES.
Locomotive builders in this country
are looking Onward to a very busy
time for The next six months. as many
OF the railroads in need OF additional
motive power. having refrafned from
placing their orders prior to the cleo
lion. are beginning TO make enquiries,
which in turin will be followed by or
ders. A member of the Baldwin Lo-
connective firm. in speaking of the pros
pe~ts of locomotive building. said that
they had not been so bright Tor SIX
months and that the indications point
ed To a very busy season. Inquiries
which have been deferred pending the
election are now being made by the
railway officials and Judging from the
character of those inquiries the needs
of the railroads for additional locomo-
tiyes are considerable. eau OF
the rush OF orders from home the for
eign orders can not be filled with the
promptness desired by foreigners and
hence the orders o abroad will not
be so plentiful. but as long as the build
ers have all the orders from home that
they eanb fill they do not care for those
from abroad.
SPUNKY RAILROADERS.

are released. One train has been run
ming by the assumption of the en-
gineer's place by a master
The Mexican plan of imprisoning rail-
readers for being on a train by which
\ man is hurt or killed has incensed
the railroaders so that even II they can
nor secure the release of their fellow
they say they will refuse
70 run trains in the night as 1ong as
that barbarous custom is adhered to.
Accidents are so liable to happen at
Night n the slightest accident to
paSsenger or roadside wayfarer is
considered ample excuse for taking the
~rzilroaders from the train and fncar-
grating them to await at rial that II
IL is ever pulled of IL is many months

roader drags out a miserable ex1s-
tence the remainder of LIS life await
