Barge With Gasoline Power.

There was launched at Pocomoke City a
few days ago a barge which. when COM
pleted. will be an innovation in that type
Of vessel Up to this time barges have been
dependent upon tugs to move from place to
place. but this barge will be equipped with
a gasoline engine. which will drive pro-
peller wheels that will give her speed Of
eight or ten miles an hour and will make
her independent of tugs. The barge will
also be equipped with machinery for the
loading and discharging the cargoes. This
barge is the first Of number to be built
for the Atlantic Power Barge Company of
Baltimore. and 1t is probable that other
barge owners, seeing what advantage power
will give barges. will have their vessels
similarly eQuipped.

PROGRESSING RAPIDLY.
Work OH the New Buildings at Wash
iugton Barracks

Work on the new buildings in process of
erection at the Washington barracks is
progressing rapidly and a large force of
men is employed in the work.
The line of new quarters in process of
erection along the western side of the park,
between the main driveway and the river
have the brick work up to the first story
and will be under roof in short time.
though it may be next spring before they
are ready to be occupied. Work Is being
pushed on the foundation for the new War
College and for the new barracks but yet
neither of these buildings are much above
the ground.
In preparing for the new buildings ana
making the barracks servicable for the
army engineers training school. many of
the fine old shade trees along the river side
of the park We're destroyed and this with
the mass of brick. stone and building ma
terial scattered about the grounds, has des
troyed much of the beauty that made the
old arsenal such charming place. This
want of beauty is particularly noticeable
from the deck Of the steamers as they go
in and out of the harbor.
