LARGEST ENGINE IN THE WORLD
HauIs Train Mile and Half Long
To BE Used by Erie
Read.

NEW YORK, Aug. THE largest steam
locomotive in the world is about to be
turned out from the plant of the American
Locomotive company at Schenectady for
the Erie railroad. 1t will haul on grades
a train OF loaded cars a mile and a half
long without the aid Of helpers. It's weight
is $4,000 pounds. The engine is in reality
two engines under one boiler. 1t has four
cylinders The engine is designed for
pusher service and will operate on the
susquehanna hIll between Susquehanna and
Gulf Summit Pass.
While the hauling capacity of these en-
ormous engines is more than double that
Of the heaviest freight engine now in serv-
ice on the road. the load on any single pair
of driving wheels is less than that OF many
OF the ordinary road machines of the pres
ent day. In view OF this fact the advan-
tages offered by this type for the concen-
tration Of power in a single unit are readily
recognized.

ADVOCATE SECOND PRIMARY
CIOsenesa of Vote I'm Mississippi May
Bring About This Result
Senator.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 7.-Dispatches
from Jackson, Miss, say that a second
senatorial primary for John Sharp Will
Jams and Governor James X. Vardaman
is regarded with favor by many followers
OF both. Secretary Of State Power up to
last night still had ten counties to hear
the official returns from and the count up
to that point showed Williams lead to be
about 40. votes. The smallness Of the plur-
ality, which II is now estimated the winner
will have, is given as ground for the be-
lief that a contest over the election is
inevitable. The ballot boxes are being
watched by workers on both sides. The
fact that second primary must be held
TO select the candidate for governor has
cleared the way for the advocacy OF another
vote for senator. ..

was compelled to wear took an hour and
half to arrange her trailing hair and
long draperies and then a special commit

Lady Godiva was permitted to take her
place in the pageant. Many OF the local
clergy who had been preaching against the
heshings as being suggestive of nudity left
the city temporarily, but most of the peo-
pie of the country and 5000 TO 10000 from
the outside had sight OF Lady Godiva as
she traversed the six miles.

woman of great beauty and piety and the
