4 RAILRoAD EXPERIMENT.

An interesting experiment in individ- ual car propulsion is being made by the Belfast and County Down railroad. Two of the new cars have just been de- livered by the builders. The length of each is sixty-three feet over all, the car proper being forty-five feet in length. The front end is supported by the locomotive and the rear end by four-Wheel bogie of the usual type. The engine is supported by four driv- ing wheels and has two cylinders, each ten inches in diameter, and sixteen-inch stroke. The boiler is Of ordinary loco- motive pattern with nine and three quarter scuare feet of grate area and 505 feet square of heating surface in ffrebox and tubes. The working steam pressure will be 160 pounds and the en- zine is powerful enough to handle the car and a trailer. The total weight of car and engine is forty tons. The car proper is of the ordinary American cor- ridor type, with seats for forty-eight passengers. who will enter and leave by the rear platform. These cars will be put into service between Belfast and Hollywood, a seaside suburb four miles distant, making five intermediate stops. If these experimental cars prove the success that is anticipated, additional ones will be procured and the service will be extended as far as is practice able on the two lines of the company.
 Perhaps the Europeans can teach us something in this line and perhaps not.

An Innniry.. :.

To Editor of the Journal and Courier: What has become of the saviors of
 New Haven operating under and hiding behind that magnificent cloak of re- l form called and styled the Connecti-
 cut Civil Service Reform Association? i Nothing has been heard of these gentle | men since they came out with the po- | litical dodger just before the last city election, throwing more mud at the | local Civil Service Board and intimat- | ing that the last examination for ap- plicants to the public library was in- | efficient, although it is upon informa- tion and belief that these altruists | signed the above mentioned political advertisement, so anxious were they to
 see their names in print, without first | 1ookingover the questions contained in | the aforesaid examination.
 It used to be considered in olden days caddish trick to sign a letter l like the one signed by these gentle
 men concerned" just before an election, in that it was beneath the dignity of gentlemen to stoop to injure others without just cause. And circumstan- tially, at least, the aforesaid letter, ap-
 bearing on the eve of election, had the
 look of political trick.
 It may be that these mentors are
 self-appointed exorcists, and perchance | they are not amenable to the same
 manners and courtesies by which gen.
 tlemen are only known in America.
 We have no doubt that these advanc- ed agents for the Cloak of Reform" are popular and loved by their fellow actors, but we also believe, there being
 some men in the Connecticut Civil Ser vice Reform Association, that at its
 next meeting for election of officers it
 will say to these "gentleman concern ed," we Hove you but no longer be of ficers'' of ours. QUIDNUNC,

MORE eoSrESrED, LESS CORRUPT.

MORE GOSTESTED, LESS CORRUPT
 Philadelphia is more contented than she was but not as corrupt The United Gas Improvement Company has struck it's colors, but not until President Dolan was convinced that further an- tagonism of the public would be pure folly and would lead certainly to the absolute disruption of the Republican machine, already shaken and battered by the furious hammering given it by Mayor Weaver and public opinion.
 The first absolute sign of disintcgra- ton among the organizations forces came Saturday morning. The leaders had been declaring confidently that there would be snap meeting of the Councils on Monday and that the lease would be passed over the Mayors veto. They had talked of impeaching the Mayor and of disciplining those who had been weak enough to break away from the rings mandates. A hurried meeting was called in the office of Sen ator Penrose Saturday morning. At this meeting, aside from Senator Pen- rose, were Commissioner Durham, Sem ator McNichol, David Martin, President Dolan of the United Gas Improvement Company, Commissioner Potter, Coun- cilman seger and others. At o'clock President Dolan issued a statement. It was a formal notice of complete sur render on the part of the gas officials and the machine leaders. This state ment was in the nature of 8 letter to the president of the Select Council and the president of the Common Council.
 The whole country will congratulate Philadelphia and Mayor Weaver. May or Weaver has done a. great work, and it is to be hoped that the people of Philadelphia will properly appreciate it, and see to it that ''the gang" doesn't eventually do him up for doing his duty.

THoRoUGHNEss ALWAYS PAY.

THOROUGHNESS ALWAYS PAYS.
 Some years ago, in a small town of the middle west, young man who was just beginning to work as jurneyman carpenter was bired to patch a fence by one of the petty officeholders of the place. Don't put any unnecessary work on it." the man said. T just want it sufficiently strong to. keep out any stray livestock. and being over there out of sight behind the shrubbery it won't matter what it looks like. It isn't worth more than a dollar; if you're willing to do it for that, go ahead" %
 The young man went to work, and spent the best part of the day on the job. When he went for his pay his employer said, You haven't just finished, have you? Whats the matter with you, anyway" and he went out Ito look at the patch" It was not only substantially done, but with the utmost neatness and care.
 T told you I didn't care how it looked, didn't I?" said the owner, angrily. Now you'll be wanting three-quarters of a days pay"--
 T said I'd do it for a dollar re- turned the workman, shouldering his tools, because I wanted the money. If I'd finished it in half the time and gone home should only have been sit- ting around there doing nothing. did the work to suit myself. Now if the price suits you, that's the end of it.
 Well, you're a mighty foolish boy, that's all I've got to say" replied the other, turning on his heel as he handed over the monye.
 Not long after this the young car penter went to leighboring town and steadily worked his way up. Some ten had risen to the position of county commissioner. and his little town was growing city, about to erect a num- Der of fine municipal buildings. Among the many applicants for the contract, which, besides being an important one financially. would undoubtedly make an enviable name for it's successful bidder, the commissioner noticed name that seemed in some way familiar to him. After a moment he recalled the incident of the patched fence which had really made a muchs deeper impression on him than he had allowed himself to admit at the time. The estimate of the young carpenter, who was now a. con- tractor, proved to be reasonable one, and the work was given into his hands.
 You want bonds man began.
 "No,' returned the commissioner, it won't be necessary in this case, I think. That patch you once put on my fence is guarantee enough. It's stand ing yet" Indianapolis News. r:

Franklin seven Confederate Generals were killed, and during Sherman's cam paign five, the Union Army losing three. At Gettysburg five Confederate and five Union Generals were killed, 10 in all, besides three Union Colonels commanding brigades. At Fredericks- burg two Union and two Confederate Generals were killed. In all the Union Army lost in killed or mortally wound- ed 50 general officers, 23 brevet briga- dier geserals and S4 colonels commando ing brigades.
 Taking the proportion as one killed to 452 wounded, this would indicate that 407 Confederate Generals were killed or wounded out Of total of 415. Probably, however, the general officers were the selected victims of the sharp shooters, who shot to kill. In one regi- ment of the Civil War, subjected to the ordinary casualties of battle, the first Minnesota at Gettsburg, 2S per cent, of those engaged were killed and S2 per cent. were killed and wounded. In 42 other regiments the percentage of killed in different battles was IS or more. The ratio of killed to wounded in 56 battles of the Civil War was 1 to AS, varying between to 3 at Williams burg and to 6.7 at Arkansas Post. The average among the regular troops was i to 4.52 The mortally wounded equal- led 64 per cent. of those killed outright. Tn the German Army during the war with France the proportion was 61 per cent.-Army and Navy Journal.
