For Congress.
We are authorized to announce

HON. w. s. HILL,

Congress from this (the fourth Con gression-

Do not bury the Hon. John Sharp
Williams alive, as would virtually be
the case were he nominated and elect
ed to the vice presidency, but keep him
where he a better serve not only the
democratic party, but the people of
the nation. AS the leader of the
minority in the House of Representa-
tiyes he has earned admiration and
praise for his brilliancy and states
manship, and the SENTINEL confident
ly believes that the democratic party
would make a serious mistake should
it be instrumental in electing him to
the second highest place in the gift of
the American people. The presiding
officer of the Senate has no power
whatever: he simply enforces Order.
Rather let us think of Mr.. Williams
as speaker of a democratic congress.

Do Big Freight Engines Pay.

Many trunk-line managers express the
opinion that the monster freight locomo-
tives are failures and have not realized
what was expected of them. w. z. Nc
Gully. chairman of the board of railway
commissioners of Georgia, says: "Of
course, this does not mean they will aban-
don attempts TO get service out Of the large
machines, because they are constantly
working with them and trying 10 remedy
the defects. The objections so far have
been that the big engines don't make the
time required, which is only from twenty
five to thirty miles an hour. They con-
sumo enormous quantity of coal COM
pared with the results and they are hard to
make steam. You will rarely find en-
Gus sections il requires two firemen to
shovel In coal, and where one man only is
used over a level country the work of fir
ing is exceedingly laboriOus. The Moguls
were introduced in order to obviate the
necessity of running freight trains in lot
of short sections, or hauling long trains
with double headers. 1t was not expected
that they would make very fast time, but
it was hoped they would hit a moderate
condition of weather and country, without
half killing the fireman. They have come
far short OF this and the builders will have
to materially overhaul the plans before the
battleship engine can be called a success
At present the Santa Fe is putting into
commission the largest engines in the
world They are Baldwin build have ten
drivers, and with loaded tender weigh 49,
600 pounds; they are rated to haul on a
train of loaded freight cars more than a
mile long"

CONDITIONS ARE BETTER
TRAINS ARE MORE NUMEROUS,
WHILE ACCIDENTS ARE FEWER.
Big Freight Engines Not Up to Expec-
tatiOn in PerfOrmance-TheW Wa
bash Pushing Its Extension.

DR.. S. L. McCurdy, chief surgeon of the
Pennsylvania lines West. says that during
the past four or five years the number of
chief surgeon has been reduced % per cent.
and this, in spite of the fact that in that
time an enormously increased tonnage has
been handled and the working force largely
increased over that Of five years ago. He
attributes the decrease to the enforcement
by the Interstate-commerce Commission OF
the use of safety appliances on freight
trains, and TO other rules of the railroad.
Formerly 70 per cent. of the accidents
were traceable TO coupling. most of the
injuries then were crushed fingers and
arms and crushed legs, due to the men
slipping on rails while making couplings.
Since the adoption of safety appliances
and there are very few accidents now due
to coupling, inasmuch as the brakeman
merely turns a handle at one side of the
car. The general introduction of air
brakes has brought about fewer accidents
in slipping off icy car roofs. Brakerhen
were formerly compelled to climb to the
tops of freight cars and set the brakes.
This is now done from the locomotive. An
other important item in this direction is
that the railroads are enforcing the rules
against drinking on the part of their en-
plOyes, and the decrease in accidents is
partially attributed to that. Men caught
visiting saloons and drinking are if not
discharged, severely disciplined. Were the
or business as they were five years ago the
number of accidents would be decreased
many times more, as old railroad men
with inventive genius and others, too, are
continually working to the end that acct
dents shall be largely avoided and great
strides have been made in that direction.

Cattle-The receipts OF cattle to-day were hard
~ as large reports yesterday indicated they
would be. The supply was not large when II IS
considered that 200 head were billed direct to
packers A very good variety Of cattle was
represented. and the quality generally was prob
ably equal TO the close Of last week, but usual
for some time past there were not a great many
in their class that were unusually attractive.
The market opened with better inquiry for
female butcher cattle than for other grades and
there was rather active trade at fully steady
10 strong prices There was Improvement in
values Of heifers. but the good cows occasionally
were reported around loo higher, while Gamers
and cutters sold about steady. There was also
a reasonably fair demand for fat steers Of all
kinds and sales for the most part represented
fully steady prices compared with those prevail
Ing for equal kinds at the close OF last week.
II was observed, however, that the very best
steers offered did not sell very promptly. This
probably because owners entertained
travagant ideas Of the value OF their cattle The
demand for feeding stock fully good
usual at this time in the week and sales were
generally at firm prices. The bull market
also fully steady and calves sold strong 10 25c
higher. At the close some OF the best cattle
here had not changed hands. Quotations:

Stockholders Demand a Dividend.


Stockholders of the Lehigh Valley Rail-
road Company for three hours yesterday
clamored for a dividend at the annual
meeting of the company held at Philadel
phia Numerous speeches were made in
which the policy of the administration was
out of Interior motives on the part Of Off
GERS and directors in failing to warrant
such action. Strenuous opposition was adj
vanced against the adoption of the annual
report of the president and directors be-
cause of a clause authorizing a general con-
amount OF $l5O,OO0,0OO The same clause also
provides that prior mortgages shall not be
extended at maturity, but are to be re-
placed by general mortgage.
Il. L. Strotesbury, OF Philadelphia, called
for a stock vote on the adoption of the re-
port, which demand met with disapproval
on the part of the minority. The report
election of directors. The count showed
457. 767 shares in favor of the report and
I'LL against President Thomas and the old
board of directors were reelected.
Michael Morris, of Pittston, wanted to
know why more than S,0O0,000 of the assets
of the coal company were paid for coal
leases. President Thomas said the leases

The administration has no power, he said
to change the conditions except by aban-
doning the leases.
Many other statements and charges were
made by the various stockholders, including
the imputation that il has been the idea
or the management or the company to pre-
vent the payment of a dividend as long as
possible. No dividend has been declared
eleven years.
