COAL CARS
Are Ordered to Run Nine Thou
sand Tons of Coal to
Curtis Bay.

CUMBERLAND. Nd. Aug. s.
Quite an important order has been
received by the railroad authorities
at both Fairmont and Grafton today
directing them to put their equip
ment In first class shape to run 5000
tons of export coal to Curtis Bay,
Nd. by the 18th OF August The
Fairmont Coal Company is working
every mine to- the limit this week
gettig out the order and the Baltl-
more offices have directed that every
available engine on the Cumberland
division be put in readiness to rush
the coal east. as well as to rush for
ward the necessary cars and put
them in shape and give everything
very prompt movement at all points.
This ought to mean a lot more of
work in the shops as the railroad
people are always complaining that
they haven't the business to justify
any expenditures in repairs. This
coal will require over two hundred
car loads and must be in Baltimore
before the 18th, less than ten days
hence. The Fairmont Coal Company
is rushing everything to get 1t out
and started east. With the coal GO
ing this way 1t ought not be long
until we hear the old shop whistle
calling the boys in.

HEAVY FREIGHT
Is Being Prepared for by the
Baltimore & Chic
Railroad.

CUMBERLAND. Md, Aug. six
boilermakers and quite number of
machinists who had been furloughed
some time ago from the B. & o. shops
have been called back to work. 1t
is believed that more men will be en-
ployed within the next few days in
order TO have all the locomotives put
in shape for heavier traffic. 1t is
expected within a week or ten days
all hands at the shops may be busy
again. There is much work for them
to do and the prospects for an in
crease in freight business are such
that would seem to compel more
work at the shops.

BOILERS Blue
Grant and His Headquarters
are Sad and Discouraged
Over Outlook.

There is very little enthusiast
aroundthe Scherr boilers headquar-
tiers this week, says the Parkersburg
Sentinel. Now and then some of
those affiliated with the movement
drop in while they happen to be In
town. but they find nothing encourag-
ing In the situation.
1t was announced several weeks
ago from headquarters that the re-
mainder of the ticket would be filled
in a day or two, as there were
scores of patriots who were not after
office. who were ready and willing to
have their names ON the ticket, but
the ticket has not been filled, and
the latest announcement is that this
Will not be done until some time
next week.
The regulars claim that 1t is i'm
possible for the boilers TO get any
one of prominence or standing to go
on the ticket. Men who had been
affiliated with the Scherr end OF the
fight before the meeting of the state
convention are growing very luke
warm. and when approached with a
request to allow their names TO be
placed on the ticket, sidestep the
empty honor.
When the boilers state committee
organized here several weeks ago, 1t
was also announced that it was the
intention to have speakers. bureau,
publicity departmnt and various 9TH
er departments. all in charge of a
corps of competent people. but these
features have not materialized. and
the force at present, outside OF tho
chairman. consists of Henry Lee and
several stenographers.

OF course it was understood that the
House post Office, which has been such
familiar fixture near the elevator at the
main entrance Of the House end. was to
be removed to the new building. This
has been accomplished, and it is estab-
lished temporarily in large room on
the first floor. The room assigned to it
permanently Is under the conference
room and on the rotunda floor just back
of the rotunda, and there a model post
office will be installed with every con-
venience that can be devised for the
prompt and accurate dispatch OF business.
Workmen are just now getting through
with it. The new post office will be five
times as big as the old one. Contracts
were awarded some time ago for the
construction of a big metallic screen
carrying numbered boxes and all neces-
sary appliances. Members on reaching
their Offices in the morning can go to
their post office boxes if they wish instead
of waiting for the delivery of their mail
to their rooms. For those representa-
tives remaining in the Capitol and for
the committees located there, sort Of
rural free delivery will be established.
They will get their mail delivered at
their rooms promptly, and besides that,
a branch or suhstatiOn will be estab-
lished for their convenience in the room
formerly occupied by the old committee
on library, near the elevator.
