 Speaking of the Illinois Central Mir. Harrihan said that physically the property was in splendid shape. He said that contracts had been let for twenty three new locomotives and nineteen new steel coaches and chiar cars which will be distributed along the road wherever needed.
 No More Stoves.
 When an engine and machinery were received in Montgomery yesterday to be used in steam heating coaches and Pullmans. it marked the end of the stove in the passenger coaches of the Louisville and Nashville road.
 Most of the coaches on the through trains of the road are already equipped with pipes for steam heat which Is generated by the locomotive. The plant received yesterday, however. is to be used independently in heating coaches or Pullmans.
 These plants have been installed at the terminals of the road at Cincin- nati, Louisville, Nashville and Bir- mingham and with the one placed here will be the only big terminals without the steam heating apparatus.
 By removing the stoves from the coaches on the through trains 1t gives one and at times two extra seats in every car
