Jaiuen and George W. Webb, Two Loral Workmen or the Southern. Hate Taken Patent ' on an Invention Wilch Promises to Bo of Importance. Messrs. Edward T. James and George W. Webb, both of whom i are with the Southern Rairway Company and work at the round house near the passenger nation, have taken out pat ents on a new locomotive cross head which they have Invented. There are no gibs nor tap bolt connected with the apparatus, nor other parts to be ome loose and entail trouble. In the ptaoe of a gib. they have arranged to use a flfct bronse plate which is held In posk'.lon by side pieces fastened i with bolts going through and through. This arrangement means much cheaper device than the old, methods and one, ahw. cheaper to keep in re pair., 'It Is claimed that by the use of these cross heads, any railroad could eave 1100 year on every locomotive. In addition to this saving In money, the liability to accident would be very much reduced, because the parts which usually contribute most to ac cident are eliminated from the cross heads. ; .: - ' - - These gentlemen are prepared to make arrangements with any road for the use of their device and are wii ling to fit up one locomotive at their own expense to rhow its superiority, on the condition that the road have the patterns made and furnish ' the castings. It looks as If these me chanic have a sure thing. ; A LARGE ROSK GARDEN. The flngee and Conrad Company, of . West (irovr. Pa., Has Leaacd. Grounds ore Colonial Heights. The Suburban Realty Company ' through its agents, F. C.

This com pany is said to be the largest grower of roses in America, and Its establish ment of a branch farm here Is of urne Bigninvance iu mr cujr. It Is proposed to open this farm to supply Southern territory with roses. The company will ship at once to Charlotte 76,000 rose plants for the season's planting and If Mecklen burg's soH Is suitable for such growth, the planting for another season may fcs largely increased. A million plant a year Is Its average In. the present location at West Grove. Pa., Mr. Lynch, representing this con cern, has been In the city for several 1 days, and was much- pleased,, not only with the great display of roses about the homes of the city. Indicating soil and climatic conditions suitable to their cultivation, but was also sur prised and delighted with the pre ent large building and developments .in and around the city. Mr. Lynch will return po the city shortfly to at tend to the work of preparing for this Industry. l Board of Safety Sleets To-Mght.
