HISTORIC FORT SOLD.
Tract of Land Surrounding It VIII BE
Cut Into Town Lots.

Johnstown. n. Y. Oct. 5.-An inter-
esting real estate transaction was
placed on record in the county record
er's office today. II involves the sale
of the lands belonging to the Akin
estate, and embracing Fort Johnston.
the oldest baronial mansion in the
United States to Ethan and and Louis
Akin, of Grundy county Iowa, for a
consideration of $4,000. The estate
was divided into 90 parcels. The first
parcel sold to the two brothers in
cluded Fort Johnston, which for many
years has been the Mecca of students
of history. The fort was sold for
$4,000.
Various historical societies have at
different times contemplated buying
the old stone fort and mansion. but
the Akin family would not part with
1t at any price. 1t is now believed that
the big estate will be divided into
building lots. and that the old fort,
which is still in a good state of pres
ervation. will be left with a few acres
of ground around it. The fort was
the first substantial building erected
by Sir William Johnston in this sec
ton of the state after he had receiv-
ed "A grant of $4,000 accres of land
from King George II. of England. This
fort was the scene of many skirmishes
with the Indians and also of many
peace conferences with the redmen
whom Sir William subdued

WILL CHANGE MOTIVE POWER.
Y. V. y. ii. & ii. Railway VIII Sub
stitmte Electricity for Steam.


New York, Oct. 5.-The New York,
New Haven G. Hartford railroad is
making preparations for changing the
motive power on some or all of its
lines from steam to electricity. An or
der for 25 electric locomotives has
been placed with the Westinghouse
Electric & Machine company by the
railroad company. These locomotives
will be driven by an alternating cur
rent single phase. which is said to be
the most economical application OF
electrical power vet made. Each To-
comotive is to weigh rs tons, and is
to be equipped with four moters, each
OF 400 horsepower. making total OF
1900 horsepower for each locomotive.
This is about 500 horsepower greater
than that of steam locomotives in
present use.
The motors will be able to maintain
speed of 26 miles an hour in local
service reaching a maximum speed of
45 miles an hour between stations, and
hauling 200 tons. In express service
a speed of 60 to 30 miles an hour can
be maintained with train weighing
$50 tons. For heavier loads two or
more locomotives can be coupled to-
gether and operated from the front
cab by one engineer.

According to one version the first Ger

Hats or No Hats. the Problem.

DIR. Edward L. Stoddard, rector of
st. Johns Episcopal church, has stir
red up a tempest in the teapot by his
recent decree against the custom of
women to come to church without
hats. DR.. Stoddard wrote an article
which was published in the st. Johns
Church Bulletin, copies of which We're
placed in every pew at the morning
service. DR.. Stoddard based his OBJ
lection to "hatless' women on the
seventh chapter of First Corinthians,
in which st. Paul distinctly forbids wo-
men to remain bareheaded in church.
The reason for st. Pauls objection,
DR.. Stoddard says, is that the chief
glory of woman is her hair, and,
naturally she devotes much time to
its care. II is one OF the chief vani-
ties and therefore she should not dis
play 1t in church.
