What Is probably the smallest engine
ever made has just been completed by A
@. Root, jeweler Of Danbury, Conn. 1t
Is q horizontal engine and stands on q
piece Of metal exactly the size Of a 10-cent
piece. Other small engines have been
made In other parts OF the world, but It is
claimed, the smallest that has ever been
heard Of before was an upright engine
which occupied a floor space of only half
an inch Mr.. Roots engine is therefore
built as an upright II would occupy a floor
space of only seven-sixteenths of an inch

Conditions of Speed on Railroads.
From Everybody's Magazine.
Railroading has already been prolific
source of profit to the inventor. but be-
fore speeds materially higher than those
now used can be generally adopted he must
be called upon to again improve the rail-
road in it's every member. The rail Joint
must either be abolished altogether, max
ing the lines continuous by welded joints,
tice, or a mechanical joint better than any
yet made must be invented. But more i'm
portant than all will be methods Of pre-
venting collisions while dispatching trains
at short intervals. Since electricity will
be the motive power, 1t Is possible that this
may be so applied as to make 1t impossible
for two trains to be run into each other

William Is. Fuller appeared before
Alderman Atkinson yesterday after
noon, on writ issued at tie instance
of a Mrs. Reardon, TO show cause why
he should not vacate a house and plot
of land he has enjoyed rent free for the
past year or more. Mr.. Fuller disikes
publicity, but he has of late been forced
into the public eye through chain Of
circumstances too strong for him to rc
sist. So he appeared yesterday after
noon in the alderman's court. Mrs
Reardon said that he had occupied her
house for the last seventeen months
and that he was still unwilling to pay
rent and would not pay it, When Mr.
Fuller's turn came to be heard, he suG-
gested that Mrs. Reardon might still
wish to keep him on her place, as he
was good tenant and took good care
of the house. Mrs. Rearclon sarcastic
ally told Fuller that she might as we'll
give him a deed to the place and be
done with it. After quite a, little talk,
Mr.. Fuller was informed by the alder
man that if he was not out Of the house
by Saturday night he would be dis
possessed, as all the processes of law
had been gone through with

SPECIAL MEETING.
Select Council Does Little Business
Two Ordinances introduced.

Select council met in special session
last evening at $50 President Fletch-
er and Councilmen Thompson, Battle
and Davis were present. The first bus
mess done was the introduction of an
ordinance by the committee on police
consisting of Battle, Thompson and
Davis. 1t provides that the yearly sal
,,rv Of the chief Of police shall be $3.50
and for patrolmen $75G each.
Mr.. Thompson introduced an ordi-
nance which, as Mr.. Fletcher re-
marked, had a familiar ring. 1t was in
the councils last term, but was allowed
to die 1t provides for the levy and
collection of license tax on all firms
and corporations maintaining poles
and wires on the public streets of the
city of Carbondale. 1t was referred
to the license committee.
File No. /, introduced by Mr.. Thomp-
son, was then taken up and passed
first reading. 1t was about to pass sec
ond reading when Mr.. G.. f. Swigert
appeared for the executive committee
Of the sem-centennial celebration. and
said that he had noticed that the APP
Dropriation ordinance, which was the
bill under discussion, had made no pro-
be invited to be present at the celebra-
lion. He said that the committee did
not ask the city to grant an appropria-
ton for the celebration but he did not
think it was right for the executive
committee to have TO pay for the enter
tanment of the citys guests out of
their own pockets. He asked that
some provision be made in the ordi-
nance for this purpose.
President Fletcher replied that the
city solicitor had been asked to give
an opinion on this question and that
he had rendered one, saying that such
u proceeding would not be legal. The
bill then passed, second reading. 1t
follows:
