fA't RAILROADS LOOK FOR BIG BUSINESS Judging From Locomotive ' and Car Building, gOFT COAL QUESTION NO LONG ER AGITATES THE MINDS OP WESTERN MAGNATES. New York. Nov. 24. Although bull Movements have been noticeable In railway stocks, as a result of the elec tion, nevertheless the roads have not participated In the wild rush upwards. The big roads seem to have "struck their gaits" and the value of the shares g o forward cautiously and slowly, but steadily and surely. Judging from the number of locomo tives and cars now building, the rail road managements are expecting to do an immense amount of business during the next few years. The locomotive works are all busy, and the orders do not all come frm our own country. Foreigners arerecognlzlng. more and , more the mark of American machinery and constantly Increasing their orders for locomotives. . The soft coal question will no longer agitate the minds of the western rail way magnates. The uncovering of vast beds of lignite coal along the Mis souri river assures the present genera tion at least that their demands can be tilled. The discovery of thousands of atres of .anthracite in the Cascade mountain range relieves the minds of those Interested, and does away with ail possibility of a famine.. The trans continental and other lines that reach tkese fields will be Immensely benefit ted by the development of mines. Cars sheathed in copper la accord a see with the patent of Master Car Builder Appleyard of the New Haven line have proved to be immeasurably better than the old style In paint and varnish. Four cars, patterned after his idea have been run on the Erie for four years without being sent to the shop, which is undoubtedly strong evidence in their favor. i It has been found by the detectives in the employ of the Western Passenger association that the scalpers, especial ly at St. Paul and Kansas City, are well supplied with tickets of nearly ev ery road. The condition seems to be due, in part, to the homeseekers', ex cursions, but there is a suspicion that crookedness prevails between the rail road officials and the scalpers. At the last regular meeting of the New York Railroad club,. Mr. H. H. Vreeland was for the third time chosen to the presidency. During the evening of the election the topic, "Are six coupled engines necessary for hauling trains where runs, of 100' miles or more are made without a stop?" was dis cussed and excited much Interest. The arguments advanced and sustained by facts demonstrated that the number of driving wheels of a locomotive coupled Is dependent on the weight of a train, the grades and speed; that when there ) 9999 9 99 .

In England, with low grades and average trains, that condi tion prevails, while in this country sim ilar trains are hauled by four-coupled engines. Where trains are long and grades are heavy six-coupled engines are used. The Plant System, believing that In terchangeable mileage tickets were really wanted by commercial travelers, went to considerable expense to put them on sale. So far, however, the sales have failed to pay for the printing. ' The home-seekers' excursions, which are now being run by roads In the ter ritory west of Chicago and St. Louis will continue until the end "of next June. Two excursions will be run each month, the rates for which will be one fare for the round trip, plus $2, but the tickets will be sold on the most re strictive basis possible. It is announced that the Burlington Alton. St. Paul and Pennsylvania lines are planning to enlarge the Union sta tion terminals In Chicago at An ex penditure of between one and two mil lion dollars. About the only comment that seems necessary is , "Well, . they need It." The Increasing traffic along the North river has caused the - Central railroad of New Jersey to build two steel ferry boats, with double decks and double enders. The company Is also having 25 additional passenger cars and 2200 additional freight and coal cars for spring delivery. There has been a steady increase on this road In the average tons per train mile, which have been recently running the highest in the company's history. During the past two years the company has had built and delivered 4500 freight and coal cars and 56 englnes.and the steady increase in traffic is attributable to the liberal policy adopted in improving the facilities. Plans have also been prepared for the development of about 5000 feet front of the terminal front on New York bay. About 15 new docks are projected, some of them to be the larg est In the world, equipped with der ricks; for service and the largest draught vessels afloat Signal Engineer A. H. Rudd and Chief Engineer McFarlln of the Lacka wanna are formulating plans for the signalling of the entire system. The work now in progress includes the erection of 88 automatic semaphore signals between Little Falls and Hack ettstown. This work is being pushed as rapidly as possible and will proba bly be complete before fall. The automatic disc signals recently erected at Paterson are to be replaced by those of the automatic semaphore pattern, and the disc signals removed to some less important point along ths line. The disc signals on the Morris town branch, between Morrlstown am Chatham, and Summit and Wyoming are being equipped with the wireless circuit and it is proposed to Install thlr circuit the entire distance between Ho boken and Morrlstown as soon as prac ticable, supplanting the old wire sys tem. It Is the Intention of the company to afford their patrons a system of signal protection second to none in operation on any other roal In America and to this end nothing is being spared in the way of expense, and In the selection of the latest and most approved types, the product of the skill, experience and in genuity of the best signal experts in the railroad service. FORD GETS THE GIRL. HAPPY ENDING OF THE LEXING TON INCIDENT. From the Lexington Dispatch. Many of our readers are familiar with the facts relating to the attempt ed elopement of Mr. Luther Ford and Miss Bertlfa Everhart, both of Lexing ton, a few weeks ago how the irate father had young Ford arrested In Charlotte and placed In Jail; how the young lady would not leave her lover, but spent the night sitting behind the iron bars talking to him and would not depart until the father appeared on the scene and the latter brought her home. Again, after arriving here, the lover and father met in "deadly combat," the latter coming out victorious and the former having one or more fingers chewed up by coming in contact with his would-be dady-ln-law's teeths The girl's mother, too, was bitterly opposed to the union and did not hesitate to declare, in words more forcible than el oquent, her opinion of the boy-lover and all who assisted in the runaway. However,, the scene changes and on last Sunday evening, at the residence of the officiating juRtice of the peace, 'Squire William A. Heitman, united in the holy bonds of wedlock, Bertha, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Ev erhart, to Mr. Luther Ford. The cere mony was performed in the presence of a number of friends and the happy pair had the full and free consent of the young lady's parents and all par ties interested therein. The bride has not yet passed her 16th mile post on life's Journey and the groom is barely 21 years of age. They returned to Lexington Sunday even ing and were congratulated and feted to their heart's content at the home of the bride's parents, which Is their pres ent abode. .By what magic the groom caused the change of heart of the girl's parents so as to ca'use them to look with favor on his suit, is not known. Anyway, they are safely married and are as happy as two cooing turtledoves. May It con tinue to be so. THE' EVACUATION DAY. NEW YORK TO OBSERVE THE ANNIVERSARY. New York, Nov. 21. The 118th anni versary of the Evacuation day occurs this year on Sunday tomorrow for-it was on the 23th of November, 1782. that the British sailed away from the port of New York, which they had occupied so long. The event will be duly cele brated. The "Old Guard" will parade, the stars and stripes will be hoisted to the masthead at the Battery, and commemorative exercises will be held in St. Paul's. Evacuation day was long held by New Yorkers as the most Important event cf the war, as It was to them In that It gave them a practical realisa tion of the release of the British yoke. Sir Guy Carleton, who was in com mand of the British troops, had, re vlus to his setting sail, removed the Tory residents of the city and their -amtlies to Nova Scotia, because they feared the animosity of the American troops when they re-entered the city. When the clock of old St. Paul struck 12 on November 25. the American troops began to march down from Harlem Heights. In the procession were Gen. George - Washington and Gov. Clinton. As the British had naiU ed the British flag to the top of the flagstaff and had cut away the cleats, it was necessary for a young sailor to climb the greased pole, flailing cleats as be went. The hated British flag was soon under the feet of the populace, and the American flag was hoisted in time for Lord Howe to see it through his field glass from his ships far down the bay; For many years the anniver sary of Evacuation day rivaled the Fourth of July in the affections of the people and was celebrated with as much enthusiasm. s WITH SAN DOMINGO.
