LOCOMOTIVE
BEING TESTED
Giant Engine to Do Work
New Performed by
Two
TRIED ON MOUNTAIN
GRADES AND YARD HUMPS

If experiments now being made by
the motive power department of the
Pennsylvania Railroad are successful,
new system of handling locomotives
will be inaugurated on or about Janu-
ary l. For months the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has been gathering
statistics on the amount Of coal con-
sumod by the both freight and passen-
ger engines per mile and according
to the size OF trains hauled.
II has been learned that certain
class enginess save coal on certain
trains and that other classes do better
with heavy trains. The new locomo-
tives in use for several years on the
Pennsylvania have made good as to
speed, but as there are only certain
trains where extra speed is necessary,
the company believes that other trains
making more stops, and with slower
schedules, can get along with an en-
gine more on the order Of the old style
passenger engine.
In the experiments with the freight
engines the same points will be con-
sidered. AT Altoona tests are being
made with a Mallet Sample type. nine
ty-five feet in length and weighing 243
tons. Il was built by the American
Locomotive Company and is In charge
Of ]. II. Dunbar, travelling representa-
tive of the American Locomotive Com
pany. He left Schenectady on Satur-
day evening and stayed with the en-
gine constantly. sleeping on a bunk in
the cab, and eating his meals where
ever he chanced to be.
So great is the new engine, that the
bell, sand and steam domes are placed
along the side, instead OF on top Of the
boiler. The CRATES under the firebox
are so heavy that It would be impossi-
BILE for a human being TO manipulate
them, this work being performed by
compressed air.
The big engine IS nothing more than
two H-S-B engines, the largest type
now used by the Pennsylvania. placed
under one large boiler. There are
frames joined on a pivot. There are
two sets OF cylinders and eight large
driving wheels on each side OF the en-
gine.
The standard freight engine now in
use on the PENNSYLVANIA lines weighs
241. 600 pounds. while the new engine
weighs 4S2,00 pounds.
TO FIRE the boiler in the big engine
would be beyond the capacity OF living
man, and an automatic stokor has
been built into the tender, this feeding
the boiler without any work on the
part of the fireman. The only duty OF
the fireman is 10 see that the coal Ia
equally distributed in the frehox.
-'fhe engine will pull as much as any
two freight engines now IN use. Or
the Pittsburg division two engines
are placed at the rear Of each train &c
assist It up the mountain to Gallitzin
II successful, the new engine will dc
away with one snapper on each train
reducing the number of snappers and
crews by half.
The Mallet engine Will also be tried
out on classification humps where
trains Of a hundred cars are backed
over a hump and shifted and classi-
fed by gravity

MR.. M'INTIRE
Is DROPPED
Water Board by Resolution
Ends His Tenure on
Nov. 80
REGISTRAR WANTED
HEARING ON CHARGES

Charles McIntire, registrar of the
Water Department for several years
and an employe of that department
since 1904. will be out of that bu-
reau, on November 30. He was asked
to resign at a recent meeting of the
Water Board and this he refused
to do.
At the weekly meeting OF the COM
missioners held late yesterday after
noon, instead OF in the morning,
Mr.. McIntire presented the following
written statement which he himself
read TO the board:
'Mr. Miller: On October 10th you
requested my resignation as regis
trar of the department, giving the fol-
lowing reasons that ! did not possess
a pleasing personality. that was not
courteous to the public and that /
was not at my office at the time OF
the opening in the morning. To re-
sign without asking for proof Of these
charges would be doing myself an
injustice.
"That II is your intention to dis
pense with my services is apparent
and let II also be apparent, to quietly
resign would be to acknowledge that
had not done my duty conscien-
tiously."
Following the reading OF the state
ment, Commissioner Miller moved
that the communication be received
and filed. He then presented the fol-
lowing resolution, which upon his
motion, and seconded by Mr.. Poole
was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the tenure Of Of
fee Of Charles Mc1ntire, as registrar
of the Water Department. of the city
Of Wilmington, terminate on Novem-
Der 30th, 1911"
Following the meeting Mr.. Mc1n-
tire was asked If he had any further
statement to make. 81 am all
through" he said II wish to thank
you newspaper boys. however, for the
many kindnesses you extended to me
during my tenure In office as an en-
ploye of the Water Department"
Commissioner Miller said nobody
had as yet been considered for Mr..
McIntire's position and that the mat
ter would be taken up latter by the
commissioners together with Chief
Engineer Kienle.
Whatever we do" said Mr.. Miller,
"the board will be unanimous in It,
Following the transaction OF some
routine business of little importance
the meeting adjourned.

Do you know what your frowning
