/ MOST LUXURIOUS OF TRAINS
Elaborate Equipment of That In

The new Russian imperial railway

kaiser's elaborate train de luxe.
The cars train consists of eleven

OLD ENGINE DRIVER DEAD
That Killed Nine Newark Chill.
dren In 1903.

Leon o. Barclift, sixty-three years
old, engineer of the Lackawanna ex-
press train that collided with Cliff
ton avenue trolley car on February
10, 1903, killing nine high school pu-
pills, died recently in st. Michaeps
hospital, Newark.
Barclift suffered severe injuries at
the time Of the Clifton avenue disas-
ter, and never fully recovered from the
shock. He worried much over the loss
Of the lives of the school children.
He was taken to the hospital on Feb
ruary 16, the same institution where
he was carried badly injured at the
time of the fatal accident He was
suffering from a hardening of the
arteries and an anaemic lung.
On February 19, the, eighth ami
versary Of the disaster, Barclift re-
called the wreck to mind and remarked
to his wife, who was at his side:
TITS terrible to think that | am
back here in the same hospital where
l was just eight years ago to-day"
When Barclift was employed by the
Lackawanna railroad as an engineer
he lived at Gladstone, N. ]. On leav-
ing the hospital he moved to Newark.

will be used for fuel, as no man could
shovel coal into it's gaping nav fast
enough to keep up the 225 pounds Of
steam pressure required to operate
the locomotive to it's best advantage.
Not men enough could get into the
cab to handle the coal for the boiler
and they could not throw 1t far
enough into the frebox to properly
distribute the coal over the heating
surface.
The boiler is a sectional non-explo-
sive type. All water is heated by
special heater before it goes into the
boiler, and all steam is superheated
before 1t goes to the cylinders. The
locomotive has duplicate compound
air pumps, power reversing apparatus
and two electric headlights, one ahead
and one at the rear. The locomotive
weights three-quarters million POUNDS
and rests on ten pairs OF driving
wheels, two leaders under the pilot
and two trailers under the cab, ma
king "a wheels under the locomotive
itself and IL under the tender. Ihe
tender has two six-wheel trucks,
where the ordinary tender has two
four-wheel trucks.
The articulated type of locomotive
is in reality two separate sets of en-
gines with their wheels connected
by one long rigid boiler of tremendous
steam capacity. The rear engine Is
rigidly attached to this boiler, while
the forward engine supports it by
massive slide, so as to permit the To-
connective going around curves. This
latest engine, No. 5000, makes
milestone in railroad progress.
1t is more than one hundred times
as powerful as Stephenson's Rocket,
showing how locomotive building has
progressed in 80 years.

All Road Bids Rejected.

The Board of Supervisors met Tues
day for the further consideration of the
bids recently submitted for the con-
struction of the new macadam roads in
this county. But two members of the
board, c. A. Wagner and w. ]. Lester,
were present at the meeting, Chairman
Fullen Thompson being unavoidably alb
sent.
On further considering the bids, which
were opened on August 3lst, it was de-
cided by the board that all the bids were
too high, and an order was entered re-
jecting them and instructing the clerk
to so notify the contractors and return
the certified checks that accompanied
each bid.
In support of the action of the board
the case of Lee county was cited where,
after the board of supervisors had re-
jected all bids, on opening the new bids
for the same work, it was found that
the bids for macadamizing averaged
ten cents a yard lower with like sub
stantial reduction in the price bid on
the grading and masonry work.
1t is likely that this action of the
board will delay the work of starting
the new roads until next spring, but if
the action means that the county will
be able to let the roads at cheaper
figure it will be better in the end.
