B. & 0.'S NEW EQUIPMENT
Last Instalment of New Equipment
Has Been Delivered.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has
just had delivered to it the last install
ment Of the large equipment order
placed several months ago, including
240 Consolidation freight engines of the
heaviest type, 26 Atlantic type pas
senger locomotives, 10000 freight cars
and 10 passenger coaches. With the
arrival in Baltimore on Saturday of the
last Consolidation engine from the
Richmond Locomotive Works the order
was completed and all of the equipment
is IN use on sections Of the road in most
urgent need of it. One Of the exactions
President Willard made Of the success
full bidders at the time the contracts
were awarded was immediate delivery,
and, considering the magnitude of the
order, it is believed d record was made
in filing it.
The Consolidation freight engines.
which are the heaviest type of loco
motive in use on American railways ex-
OCBIIllS tiiC hdllCl al tICuldltu COIll-
pounds, are being used on the Baltimore
and Ohio lines in West Virginia, Ohio
and PENNSYLVANIA coal regions. Sew
eral of the engines, of course, will be
distributed to various other divisions of
the road, but they are especially adapt
ed to hauling long trains in mountainous
districts. The weight of these engines
is 220, 800 pounds, capable of hauling a
train of 5000 tons on level track at 10
miles an hour.
The Atlantic type engines are de-
signed for high speed passenger service
and are now beng used in crossing the
Allegheny mountains with through ex-
press trains. These passenger engines
are built to haul on level track 50-car
train of 25 coaches, 10 baggage cars, 8
postal cars and Z Pullman sleepers at a
speed of 40 miles an hour. They are
said to be able to attain a speed of 80
miles an hour with an express train of
the usual number of cars.
The Baltimore and Ohio has an out
standing order of equipment, contracts
for which were placed recently, consist
ing of 10 Mallet and 50 Mikado type
freight engines and 5000 freight cars.
The material to be used in this equip
ment is being assembled and it is ex-
pected that the plants having the con-
tracts will begin delivery early in No
vember.

Prices in the Long AGO.

We are indebted to Isaac McCord
Brandon, of Topeka, Kan, for somefil-
Eliminating data on wages and the cost
of living in this vicinity eighty years
ago. Mr.. Brandon was born and reared
on farm in Huntington township,
Adams county, not far from York
Springs, The figures he gives are from
the daybook of his grandfather, Tenn
pletOn Brandon.
They show that in the year 1880 Mr.
Brandon was paying mason's assistants
forty cents a day. The same wages
were paid for threshing rye with fail
and for sowing plaster and huskng
corn. Wood choppers received thirty
cents a day.
One chapter of the old ledger shows
that tenant who received forty cents
day for marking out corn furnished
his sons at six and a quarter cents
day to drop the grain and his wife at
twelve and half cents a day to cover
it with a hoe. These wages did not in
clude board
The entries show the following prices
Of commodities; Wheat, 81 a bushel;
corn, so cents bushel; oats, 81 cents a
bushel; hay, Sll ton; rye, 80 cents
bushel; potatoes, 50 cents a bushel;
beef, ) cents a pound; butter, y II
cents a pound; pork (side meat, 7
cents a pound; flour, s.. so a barrel.
With the exception of beef, pork and
butter, all of these items are almost
identically the same in that locality to-
day as they were eighty years ago.
But how different the wages, Where
can you hire an able-bodied man now in
the United States of America for forty
cents day, or woman field hand for
twelve and half cents day, or boy
for six and quarter cents day.
This old daybook shows that Temple
ton Brandon paid his "hired girls"
seventy-five cents a week, and they
were the aristocrats of labor the high
salaried specialists, who we're so proud
of their sinecures, which merely called
for two or three bakings week (siX-
teen loaves at baking), churning
forty to fifty pounds. washing and
ironing, milking five cows twice a day,
etc, that they lorded it over the hum
Bile tenants wife, and chung to their
jobs until they married into homes of
their own.
AS we look over these fading Stats
tic and memoranda, we unconsciously
give voice to the question: If the past
was glorious, where bis the commercial
injustice of the present?-Hagerstown
