NEW LOCOMOTIVES FOR
 NEW HAVEN ROAD.
Railroad Wants Number of Locomo- tives of Santa Fe Type.

The New York, New Haven and
 Hartford Railroad e ompany is in the
 market for locomotives of the Santa
 F'e type. The locomotives have a tre- mendous capacity as compared with the largest locomotives now in use on the New Haven system. They get
 their name from the fact that they were designed by the Santa Fe rail-
 road and when they are installed on the New Haven system people who have never been in the west, where they have tremendous locomotives be-
 cause of the mountain grades, will see
 the biggest locomotives and the longest
 section Of the country. The plan of
 the company IS to put the new loco-
 motives into the freight service from
 this city east and west.
 Many persons hereabouts have rid
 den on trains through Bolton, and con- sequently they are familiar with the
 steep grade which trains from this
 section running east have to climb. The capacity of the heaviest type
 freight locomotive that the New York,
 New Haven and Hartford Railroad
 company now has for haul over the pacity of the Santa Fe locomotive
 which the company is negotiating for is 1000 tons, nearly three times as great as the capacity Of the largest locomotives the road now uses in rhe hauling of freight. The largest loco motives now in use by the New Ha- ven have four driving wheels on each Si(A., while those of the Santa Fe type have five on a side, and the tremen-
 dous size of the Santa Fe locomotives
 gives them weight many tons greater
 than the largest of the company's
 present type.
 i The weight of the new locomotives will necessitate the strengthening of
 bridges and culverts on the New Ha-
 ven system, and the detail of much of
 this work has been completed by the company's engineers. The most ex- strengthening to support the new To- comotives will be on the railroad bridge that connects Hartford by rail
 with East Hartford The present structure will be made stronger and
 new abutments will be put in and the engineers have completed all of their work in the making of soundings fol the new abItnlentS.
 While the capacity of the heaviest of the company's rolling stock ir
 freight service for the Bolton grade
 is 720 tons locomotives are never put to their capacity on that haul. Box | cars have an average capacity of 2t tons. but the company never attempts
 to run a loaded train of 36 cars of 2( l tons each behind one locomotive fol | haul over the Bolton hills. When T H. Fennell was superintendent fl Hartford for the lines east, which were
 part of the old New England system
 before that road passed by lease to the New York, New Haven and Hartford
 he devised the plan of running two engines to a freight train for the haul
 over the Bolton hills One locomotive
 used at the head of the train and the other in the middle of the line of cars After the Bolton hills were passed the locomotive in the middle was taken of and then the one locomotive had g sufficient hauling capacity to pull all oi the cars. Additional locomotives are nov used the system where grades

q dGTnand.
 When the Santa F'e locomotives ar rive, people hereabouts will see longer freight trains hauled by one locomo- tive than they ever before have seen
 in the east.
 It is not known now whether, as a result of the strengthened bridges and improved roadbed the company will route through Hartford and Williman- tic some of the express trains that now go by way Of the Shore Line from New York to BoStor, but the double | tracking of the bridge over the river IS sure to result in an advantage to Hartford.
 Some years ago, when Charles s. Mellen vas president of he New York New Haven and Hartford Rail- road company, and the Hartford Man chester and Rockville Tramway com pany was an independent concern, Mir. Meilen attempted negotiations with the late Marc $. Chapman, who was at the head of the Hartford, Manchester and Rockville Tramway company for the purchase of the tranway lines which MT Chapman controlled. Mr. Mellen and MT. Chapman could not agree and ! then there was talk of equfpping the steam lines east of this city with a trolley system. The single track bridge was the obstacle which inter- fered with that plan, and finally the interest in the Manchester lines was Sold 10 IuCker, Anthony & company of Boston. After the Hartford, Man
 chester and Rockville Tramway lines had passed over to Tucker, Anthony & l company the New York, New Haven | and Hartford Railroad company start
 ed to equip its steam lines from Burn 1 side east to Rockville with what is now known as the interUrban service.
 The interurban system is leased to the Connecticut company by the New
 Haven. Before the interurban line was | started the New York, New Haven
 and Hartford had acquired the lines of
 the Hartford Street Railway company
 and these lines, with other trolley
 lines in the state which had been
 bought by the New York. New Haven
 and Hartford, became the lines of the 1 Connecticut company. a subsidiary of
 the New Haven. It was while the
 overhead work for the interurban ser
 vice was under way that the New
 York, New Haven and Hartford ac-
 quired the Hartford, Manchester and
 Rockville Tramway company At that
 time there was a feeling that further
 work in :he installing of the interurban service would be abandoned, as the

Men or souvenirs, to be sold for he benefit of the widows and orphans of Germany.
 You will therefore be doing a great work for charity and at the same time furnish purchasers with souvenirs of the Deutschland.
 With best wishes Tor this charit- able undertaking, Very truly yours, F. Koenig captain.
 Additional interest will attach to these souvenirs from the fact that some of the metal was gathered upon the battlefields of Europe. The Amer ican Relief committee will have these medallions designed by one of the best sculptors in the country. One million of them will be made and the committee will give one to each per- son donating s1 or more. The com mittee hopes to forward the proceeds on the next trip across of the Deutsch- land The sale of the rnedallions will be clear profit, as the committee will pay all expenses.
 The Deutschland submerged twice Thursday morning and so far as could be learned, everything worked well. She remained under water half an hour each time. Movie men strug- gled in vain to get shot at the sub- mersible, but greater secrecy than ever was maintained.
