ELECTRICITY FOR CENTRAL.
ENGINEERS or THE RAILROAD
SAY 1T rs FEiS BILE.
IL Would Save Money by Uslng the Third
Rail. and Ten-IIOur Trains 10 Chicago
Would he Possible - Niagara and the
Adirondacks Could supply the Power.

SCHENECTADY, March s.-The discussion
as TO the practicability Of installing electric
power in the Park avenue tunnel in New
York in place of steam locomotives arouses
the interest Of the engineers OF the General
Electric Company. because they are ready
not only TO haul trains through the tunnel
but also TO equip the entire New York
Central system from New York to Buffalo
with electricity.
we will put electric locomotives in place
Of the steam engines, and guarantee that
operating expenses will be decreased,
is the confde ent statement Of one OF the
company's chief engineers.
For several years experimental work
has been under way on two miles Of rail-
way track on the berme bank Of the Erie
Canal, and the result of these experiments
by the company's engineers has been the
development Of a type Of powerful railway
electric motor de Clared TO be actually
better adapted for heavy traffic than the
steam engine. This is the more remark
able when il is considered that the Ameri-
can railway locomotive il the outcome
of seventy years practice, while the electric
locomotive is but a five years experiment.
Within gunshot of the electric shops,
at the Schenectady Locomotive Works
there was recently completed the largest
and most powerful railway engine in the
world, an iron giant seventy feet long and
weighing nearly 200 tons. 1t is believed
that the limit Of power il very nearly APP
preached in this remarkable machine.
But there are young men in the elect rio
shops, only just out Of college, who are
prepared to design an electric locomotive
Of greater tractive power than this Santa
Fe monster.
"Our first electric locomotive built for
the Baltimore tunnel is one Of the most
powerful railway engines in the world
says a General Electric official. Not one
steam locomotive in a thousand approaches
il in weight or tractive power.
1T viii haul a 0O0-ton train on level
track at the rate Of thirty-fve miles an hour
] don't suppose there are dozen railways
In the world with engines Of this power.
II has four motors of a combined strength
Of / ,Ao horse power.
Not long ago a party Of French rail-
way officials visited Baltimore 10 study
the elect ric locomotives. They were amazed
TO see two steam engines fail TO move
a long train that had been brought through
the tunnel by electricity. The electric
had 10 take the train out.
And this particular locomotive was
somcwt1t Of an experiment We are
prepared TO produce much better results
now.

Warships in Manila Harbor to Be
Raised Without Cost to the
Government.

Washington, July 30.-It is proposed
to dispose of the Spanish warships
which have been in the Manila harbcr
since they were sunk by Dewey, four
years ago. The navy department is
advised that the authorities in the
Philippines have accepted the bid of
the Philippines Engineering and Con
struction company to do this work.
There are ten of these wrecks, and
they are to be raised and removed
within one year from the date of sign
ing the contract. The company has de-
posted the sum of $4,000 as a guar
anttee that the contract will be car
ried out. The contractors will re-
ceive no pay from the government.
their profits being derived from the
Junk raised.
The company has had an expert div
err and wrecker for some time, and he
has made a close examination of the
wrecks and their value. The con-
tractors have no doubt as to their
ability to do the work on time, as
such of the necessary appliances as
are not on hand a readily be pro-
cured from Hong Kong. This is a big
undertaking and will involve the ex-
penditure of several hundreds of thou
| sands of dollars.
There were four bidders, a Japanese
company, the Philippines Transporta-
ton and Construction company, a
firm at Cavite, and the Philippines
Construction and Engineering COM
pany. No one has any idea Of the
worth of these vessels, and the sue
cessful bidders are really engaged in
what might be called a submarine
lottery. It is not expected they will
find much of value. The recovered
ships are likely to be classed as
"junk."

Attitude of Striking Miners Growing

Shenandoah, Pa, July 3O.-The at

here is daily growing demonstra-
tive. All last night fully 1000 men
and boys were on the march. They
first visited the West Shenandoah col
liery and drove the non-union work
men from the engines, pumps and fire
rooms. The strikers assaulted the
breaker with stones, doing consider
able damage to window glass.
From the West Shenandoah the
mob proceeded to Indian Ridge col
liery, where they were confronted by
a body of special police, whose pres
ence prevented violence. Squads OF
strikers picketed the approaches to
several mines, where pumping is in
progress and urged the men employed
to quit work. Deputy Sheriff Cooms
Union Organizer Ginley and a posse
! of deputy sherifs are here endeavor
| ing to maintain order.

NEW COUNTY FAIR ASSOCIATION
is ORGANIZED.
DATES FOR MEETING FIXED
Society Begins Existence With Lib
eraI Amount Of Ready Cash
on Hand.

Z After weeks of travail a new fair
association has been born. The i'm
portant event took place last night,
when a meeting of stockholders in
the old association and subscribers to
|xhares in the new was held.
\ The business of the former %associa-
ton was wound up and the books
cleared. After this nothing remained
to be done but to declare the concern
formal. dissolved and organization of
the new was undertaken. The old
name will be retained and as far as
the public is concerned matters will
continue as heretofore, the only diff
ference being that the management
Mas changed and no membranes in
the way of unpaid bills exist to handi-
cap the officers and cause growls of
discomfort from creditors.
It was decided to place the capital
stock of the new society at 100000
divided into shares of $40, each. AS
an earnest of their intention many of
those present at the meeting made
liberal subscriptions and a goodly
amount of the stock has already been
subscribed and paid for.
A board of directors consisting of
1.-THE, following we'll known gentlemen
WIS elected: Paul Mccormick, Chris
Yegen. Phil Grein, L.. H. Fenske, G..
M. Bair, George Bennighoff and w. B.
George.
In turn the board elected these Of
fcers:
President, G. M. Bair.
Secretary, w. B. George.
Treasurer, George Bennighoff. ~
September 9, 10, II and IL were Sc
lected as the dates fer holding the
first fair of the new organization.
Work is already under way on the
premium list and it s the purpose of
the directors to make the forthcom-
ing exposition the best and most at
attractive ever held in eastern Montana.
III There will be the usual amount of
racing and liberal purses will be hung
up for both unners and. trotters, as
the directors recognize this feature of
county fairs to be n of the most
important. It should not be thought,
however, that little regard will be
paid to exhibitors. as the dominant
idea is to make it a fair in every
sense of~the word.

CHECK IS DESTROYED.
Valuable Testimony in Mcfarland
Foruerv Case Removed,

Forgery Case Removed.
If Ed Mcfarland, arrested yester-
day for passing a forged check. es-
capes punishment he may thank the
man from whom he obtained the
money, as his competency may re-
suit in a miscarriage of Justice.
After the arrest of the accused man
he managed to communicate with
Conway, who advanced the money on
the spurious paper, and asked him
to destroy the check, saying he would
make it all right" with him. Accept
ing the promise. Conway did destroy
the check, as Chief Jackson learned
when he called for it in order that it
might be used as evidence against
the prisoner.
On first thought County Attorney
Hathhorn was inclined-to let the mat
ter drop. as he was of the opinion
that without the check no case could
be. made out against the defendant.
Thinking the subject over. he con
Guided to proceed against the man,
as he believed that even without the
existence of the check the forgery
could be proved. He says Mcfarland,
before his arrest, admitted the forgery
and this admission, together with the
fact that proof is available Of the
forged paper having been presented
at the bank and the prisoners re-
quest to destroy the check all COM
bine to form a chain of secondary
evidence which cannot we'll be thrown
out by a court.
Acting on this conclusion. Mr.. Hath
horn caused a complaint to be filed
against Mcfarland in Judge Fraser's
court today.
