MACHINE LAYS RAILROADS.
Puts Down the Ties and Rails at the Rate
of Three Miles a Day.

Puts Down the Ties and Rails at the Ratio
of Three Miles Day.
At the rate of three and a half miles
day a peculiar piece of mechanism
is laying the tracks of the Cincinnati,
Richmond and Munce Railroad. This
track-laying machine automatically and
accurately lifts the ties and rails into
position, the most drudging labor in
all railroad construction. It also fur
nishes the motive power for its own
construction train.
There We're stretches of roadbed over
which the construction train moved at
the rate of 1900 feet an hour. The ma.
chine utilized was one which differs in
many essentials from that which has
been used west Of the Mississippi
River One Of the most interesting
features is the manner in which The
material Is delivered to the roadbed,
and the comparatively few men re-
quired for the different operations, as
the ties and rails are lifted and moved
from the cars on which they are carried
to the roadbed, being connected and
spiked while the train Is in motion.
An endless chain carrier puts the ties
in position, while crane suspended
upon a steel truss lowers the rails in
advance of the construction train. In
this manner the engineers In charge
of the read hope to run into Cincinnati
many weeks earlier than they could
otherwise have done. ... ...
The machine weighs fifty tons, and
was made in Scanton, Pa. 1t Is the
only one of its kind III existence, and its
inventor, Mr.. Hurley, who accompanies
the ma achine, spent ten years In perfect
ing it and thousands OF dollars on mod
els before success crowned his efforts.
The work done upor the Cincinnati,
Richmond and Muncie road demon
strated that force Of about forty com.
petent men were all that We're required
to operate the machine to it's fullest
capacity, and that when conditions are
favorable oves three miles Of track In
a day of ten hours could be put down
without difficulty, while al average of
over two and one-half miles could be
recorded. The gearing on which the
material is conveyed from the platform
through the machine can be operated
at the same rate of speed at which the
train is mo-el, or it's speed can be
doubled. The weight Of the rails
handled inclr de the heaviest used for
standard gauge construction, some of
them averag ging 400 tons to the mile

QUITE TOO SWEEPING.
BY NIXON WATERMAN.

Her children laldss Lad toys which they never
Ger immaculate floors; nor could cookies
or bread
Be eaten where crumbs might be scattered
about,
For her house was like "wax-work" within
and without
OF dust, just the least little innocent bit
Would bring OH something akin to fit.
And tidy or picture trihe awry
Could never escape her most diligent eye.
Her children grew up and they hurried
away
As soon as they could, scarcely caring to
stay
Where brooms were a-whisking; they
sighed for a nest,
Still neat, but inviting a spirit of rest.
And the day when the last Of her little
ones left,
And the home of their smiles was forever
bereft,
She said, while for dust she still searched
up and down,

There once was woman so wofully neat
That she swept her whole family into the
street.
She lectured on tidiness, day after day,
ill her children ran off to the ne'ghbor's
to play.
And, sometimes, the ''lord of the manor
would roam
From his beautiful house which was never
home.
Twas a splendid expression Of beauty and
art,
But it did not possess homes one requisite,
heart.
Dut this woman worked on with her brush
and her broom,
With her servants she battled through
room after room;
She waxed and she polished her beautiful
floors
Till her friends hardly ventured inside OF
her doors.
Her carpets so velvety one would refuse
TO walk on, until he had busted his shoes;
Her chairs all so tidied, without and
within,
That to sit on them seemed little less than
sin.

FARMERS ARE AGlTATED.
Threaten to Lynch Suspected Negro
N Murderer.

Lawrenceburg, Ind, May 25.-Sun
day was a day of intense excitement
in this county over the murder OF
Rosa Kaiser and the murderous assault
of her father last Friday. The farm
chester and other towns in this county
guilty person could be identified.
Sheriff ABBY has a strong guard OF
deputies at the Jail where Louis Ever.
son, known as BLACK Ponto," is held
on suspicion. There is no doubt but
that this negro would have been
lynched but for the announcement that
Albert Harding, who came here from
Manchester, did not identify him as
the negro who had called at the home
of Mrs. Mary Griffin shortly before
the assault on the Kaisers, and none
of the other neighbors could identify
the prisoner. @
While the crowds were coming into
town a dispatch was received that
another outrage had occurred in the
county, n this diverted them from
the Jail. Sheriff ABBY and deputies
were called in the morning to Weis.
burg, where an unknown man suppos.
ed to belong to some railroad con.
struction crew was said to have as
saulted the two little daughters OF
George Smith. a farmer. The sheriff
was Joined in this chase by many
farmers and also by Rev. M. f. CoWdry
and his bloodhounds.
The negro has not yet been found
and farmers are still scoring the coun,
try for him.
