Electric Motors in Tunnels.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 24.-The Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad received last week the
first of two I50-ton electric motors for
service in the Baltimore tunnel. These
motors are the heaviest ever built, and

The locomotive is made up of two in

section can be operated independently,
or from any one section two or more
sections can be controlled. The capa-
city of the locomotive can at any time
be increased by adding duplicate sections
as desired.

PITTSBURG, Pa. Aug. 24.-Recently
Charles NJ. Schwab was quoted as having
said that probably within one year he
would assume his former position as
president OF the United States Steel Cor
poration. which he recently resigned on
account of i'll health. This has caused
much speculation as to what sort OF a
hold Mr.. Schwab has on the directors
of the steel corporation.
When Mr. Schwab accepted the posi-
tion in 1901 he did ii as the immediate
representative of Andrew Carnegie. Mr..
Schwab, under the original contract, was
to hold the presidency five years at a
salary of $160 900 a year.
Mr.. Carnegie, who is an ardent ad
mirer of Mr.. Schwab. and who wanted
to bind the latter to him to represent
his interests as the chief bondholder. in
creased the contract to an even million
dollars for the five years by adding
$40, 900 a year to Mr.. Schwab's salary.

KIMBALL AND SCOTT ALERT

From the rumors afiOat and the num-
Der of aspirants for judicial honors who
signify their willingness to dispense
justice in the Police Court for a salary
of s.. 900 year it is to be expected there
will be a lively fight this winter for the

of office of both Judge Kimball and
Judge Scott will expire in January next
and already the fight for their places
has opened

twelve years, and Judge Scott One term
of six years. Aspirants for the posi-
tions say that there have been many
eomplaintssof the manner in which both
branches of the Police Court have been
conducted and that it is time for a
change.
The earnestness of several of the
aspirants to obtain the positions is con-
eentrated upon efforts to get indorse-
ments. While this preparation for the
campaign, which will begin when Con-
gress convenes, is being made by the
applicants for the Police Court judge
ships, the incumbents are not idle and
are re-enforcing themselves in the posi-
tions they hold.
So far as the aspirants for the Police
Court judgeships are known, they are
lawyers who have had a great deal OF
experience in matters which come within
the jurisdiction of both branches of the
court and in every way competent. Two
or three OF them contend that they have
influence sufficient to land the place,
and each admits that he will be greatly
disappointed If he is not selected by the
President
While the candidates for the judge
ships contend that there is great need

Quoting the Police Court, none Of them
has so far specified what changes are
necessary. Nor have any particular
charges of mismanagement been made
by any of the aspirants for the office,

bents.

BOND-COVERED WALLS
GO WITH AAORY HOUSE
Decorations of One Room Repre-
sent Millions.

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-The little
three-story brownstone-front house at
127 East Sixty-second Street has been
scld by w. ". Amory, former secretary
TO a Leonard Street shirt dealer. This
house became wildly heraIded because of
its bond ROOM" room the wall paper
of which consisted of bonds, intrinsicaIIy
worthless, but the face value of which
represents many millions of dollars.
The wall paper was sold with the
house. Recently, IT is said, Mr.. Amory
was offered s200, 900 for the house, but 1t
was alleged that the wouldbe purchaser
was trying to bribe the owner.
About ten years ago Amory formed the
Consolidated Jellico Coal and Iron Com
pany to take over the plants and mines
concerned. and capitalists agreed to sub
scribe for several millions OF per cent
bonds. MIR. Amory had the bonds and
stock certificates engraved. The engrav-
ine cost several hundred dollars. The
capitalists backed out, and Mr. Amory
used his bonds to paper this room. and
made his wall paper border out OF the
coupons
When the owner of the bond room
made public his charges against the Met
rcpolitan Street Railway Company last
March and the district attorney took up
their investigation. Daniel Mason. for
mer law partner of Mr.. Jerome. called
OF. Mr.. Amory and observed his curious
wall paper. He informed his host, ac-
cording to testimony given. that VIII
liam H. Page, one OF the Metropolitan
counsel had authorized him to make a
proposition. Mr.. Mason declared that he
was prepared to pay Mr.. Amory $500, 600
for the bonds on the wall II the latter
could see his way clear TO drop his
charges against the Metropolitan.
According to sworn testimony. Mr..
Amory offered to throw Mason out of the
house, and likewise instructed him TO
give Mr.. Page message more vigorous
than complimentary.

Florida's Crops.

According to dispatches received by
Col. Al Reed, of the Atlantic Coast Line
and General Agent Conklyn, of the Sea-
beard Air Line. the crop of Florida
oranges this season is going to exceed
any ever grown in the State Orchards
which were supposed TO have been
killed by the great frost of few years
ago have grown up again and are ready
to bear, while scores of new orchards
below the freezing line are also In a
bearing condition. More than five mill
ion new trees have been planted in that
part of the State south from line
drawn across from Cedar Key on the
west to st. Augustine, and many of these
are now filled with fruit which can be
shipped about the middle of next month.
The new trees are of the famous seed
less or navel variety, and are an i'm
provement over the old-time sweet
Florida oranges. The crop of last year
sold for 81, 500, 600, and it is expected that
the growers this year are going to get
about sc, SOC, 900 for their fruit. Many of
the owners of orchards which were
frozen have returned to the State and
are finally making money.
The pineapple crop has nearly all
been marketed, and the growers are
estimated to have received nearly 3d.
0OO, 600 in return for the fruit.
