Chicago, May 13.--The Alton road has
recently conducted q series Of tests OF
an automatic stalssr. On a train OF
Z Chicago to st. Louis all records are
said to have been broken for long

under tests is said by railroad Off
Scials to rest In the fact that it gives
q uniform distribution of coal in the fire
\ box, resulting In an even heat to all
parts of the boiler and a substan-
tlal saving In fuel. NJ

WORK PROGRESSING NICELY
Seyenty-P0und Steel is Being
USed-Track-Laying to

The Madiscnville Hustler pf Friday
says:
Construction work is progressing
nicely on the NJ. H. & e. r2dlrclad
north of Madiscnville and consider
able progress has been made during
the past two weeks by those employ
ed ON the new line. The wealdAer
conditions have been favorabId for
the contractor, and except several
days which were very disagreeaIble,
the empAoyes have not been inter
rupted or hindered In their work.
A large force is rcw engaged tcl
unloading steel for the use Of the ncnd
and fifty cars are expected TO- be
unloaded by Saturday. The public
will have an ddea CT tire amonnt be-
ing unlcaded and the time it requires
when it is known THAT fifty cars Ct
steel will lay twenty miles CT track.
Track-laying ths ceased until TIE
steel is off hte cars, and then the
SECTION men will resume work laying
track on the east side of tire road.
The fill ~on the east side is about
filled and will be finished this waek,
as TIE steam shovel has about fin
ished the first cut hn the west side.
The contractor will, after tire cut is
finished, widen it and make 1t ready
for the track-laying. The second
cut will not be as deep as the first
one ard can be finished quicker and
withomt so much trouble.
Ire steam ssovel will be moved
to tire cut ON THE east side i'm a few
days as soon as the work on the
west side Is completed, and opera
tions are to be pushed om that side
of tire road with the cutting The
steam sihicvel has to do.
The promoters are using 7O-pcmnd
steel ON the new nailroad, which, is
heavy enough for traffic.
The company is confident tie road
will be completed and ready for otp-
GRAFTON by fall at least and by tsat
time trains will be running into Madt-
sonville.
