ABOUT RAILROAD CARS.
What Some of Them Comt and What
They Wtlgh
An ordinary passenger car on a steam
railroad costs from $4,000 to $5,000
and weighs 88,000 pounds, or 19 tons.
A mail car, which costs from $2,000 to
$2,500 and is shorter by about one-quarter
than the ordinary passenger coach,
weighs 82,000 pounds, or 16 tons. A
baggage car without the baggage in it
weighs 28,000 pounds, cor 14 tons, and
costs about as much as a mail car. A
sleeping car is more expensive than any
of the others, and it weighs a good deal
more too. A plain, simple, but durable
sleeping car, with observatory attach
ments, literary annex and culinary de
partment, costs anywhere from $10,000
to $20, 000. The average weight of a
sleeping car is from 20 to 22 tons.
A full train in motion, as a little fig
uring will show, is no light affair. The
ordinary weight of the railroad locomo
tive for passenger service, inclusive of
tender, but not of fuel in the tender, is
40 tons. One baggage car weighs 14
tons and one mallear 16 tens, bringing
np the weight of the locomotive and
the baggage and mail cars to 70 tons.
Six passenger cars at an average of 19
tons, weight of baggage, of the fuel car
ried and eight cars would be 184 tons,
or 808,000 pounds, exclusive of the pas
sengers and mail matter.
-Pulling 184 tons along rails at the
rate of 50 miles an hoiuror more is an
achievement which has not been easily
brought about, and the more the prob
lem is studied the more clearly it is un
derstood how far the mechanical work
on railroads has been pushed. There
were by the last figures reported 86,000
locomotives in use on the American
railroads, 26,000 passenger cars and
8,000 mail and baggage cars. These
figures seem large until compared with
the number of freight cars on American
railroads, and then they seem insignifi
cant, for the number of freight cars in
use is 1,250,000.
Freight cars among the. railroad men
are divided into four classes flat cars,
such as are used for the transportation
of stone, machinery and lumber ; box
cars, such as aro used for the transporta
tion of grain, frnit and ordinary mer
chandise ; stock cars, such as are nsed
for cattle, and' coal cars, such as are
used for the transportation of coal and
oil, those used for oil being supplied
with tanks. The average weight of a
flat or gondola car is seven tons. The
car costs-from $300 to $400. Box cars
weigh a ton more and cost $100 more
each. Stock cars weigh eight tons each
on the average. Coal cara weigh three
tons each. It costs about $200 to build
coal or oil cars, and they are designed
to carry five tons apiece. The weight
of 50 coal cars is 150 tons and of their
contents, if all filled, 250 tons, which,
with locomotive and caboose added,
make 420 tons as the weight of a train.
It may be added roughly that the weight
of loaded trains passenger, coal or
freight ranges from 200 to 550 tons.
The lighter the train the greater the
speed. That's the railroad rule.- Bos
ton Traveler.
Freeing a Domestic Eale.
A friend, of mine, who told me the
story, had an eagle. He caught it when
it was young, and had brought it np
as far as he could like a domestic fowL
Having, in God's providence, to go over
to the other side of the world, he was
selling off everything. He wondered
what be should do with iiis eagle, and
the happy thought came to him that he
would not give it to anybody, but would
give it back to itself he would set it
free. And he then opened the place in
which it had been kept and brought it
to the back green. How he was aston
ished I It walked about, feeling as if
this were rather bigger than its ordi
nary run, but that was all He was
disappointed, and, taking the big bird
in his arms, he lifted it up and set it np
on his garden wall.
It turned and looked down at him 1
The sun had been obscured behind' a
cloud. But. jusMhen the cloud passed
away and the bright, warm beams
poured out. The eagle lifted its eyes
and pulled itself up. I wonder what it
was thinking? Can an eagle recollect
the crags and cliffs, the reveling in the
tempests of long ago, the joyous thun
dering and the; flashing lightnings?
Pulling itself up, it lifted one wing and
stretched it out "by prayer and sup
plication" and if lifted the other wing
"with thanksgiving" and out
stretched it. Then it gave a scream and
eooh was a vanishing speck away in the
blue heaven. Presbyterian Banner.
Frick' Rise to Wealth.
Thirty years ago Henry C. Frick was
a poor bookkeeper in a flour mill in
Fayette county, Pa. He made his start
in businessby the purchase of asmall
interest in a coal: mine near his home.
The business grew steadily. In 1873,
at the time of the panic, he was only
2 4 .y ears old. The panic enabled him to
acquire the whole plant, and then he
began to spread. He bought everything
he-could in the Way of coal land, and
when the reaction came he found him
self enormously wealthy.-
At 40 he was master of ihe coal
trade. In 1878 he took in, a partner, E.
M. Ferguson, and after that. In 1882,
the Frick Coke company was organized.
Andrew Carnegie then became asso
ciated with Mr. Frick in the coal and
coke business, and for jmany years the
two have worked together. Mr. Frick
is only 5 feet 4 inches tall, blond and
slight. He is affable and generons and
has gTeat capacity for work and organi
zation. A Conundrum.
Hero is a conundrum: An Irishman,
a Frenchman and an American were
waiting for a street car together. Soon
one appeared in the distance, "He is
coming," said the Irishman. "She is
coming," said the Frenchman. "It is
'coming, " said the American. Which
was right? Most people answer, "Why.
the American, of course." But, no; the
Irishman was right. It was a mail car.

A Hews Butcher Shot.
Abbeville, Oct. 14. A special
to The Citizen from Marshall says
that while train No. 12, bound for
Salisbury, stopped at Hot Springs,
a boy by the name of Sanders left
the train. He secured a pistol and
shot the news butcher, Will Crumb
ley, of Knoxrille.. Two shots were
fired into the breast of Crumbley
and it is believed that he will die.
Mayor Ferguson, of Waynesville,
took the pistol from the boy after
wards, when it was learned , how
serious the wounds were. The boy
ran through the hotel grounds
and was eaught by Mr. Fergu
son and turned over to the Hot
Springs policeman. The news
butcher was left in the waiting
room of the station and medical
aid summoned.
For International Action.
Beblin, Oct. 16. The German
Foreign office announces that Ger
many would gladly co-operate in a
courteously, though urgently, word
ed request to the Transvaal govern
ment to permit the creation of an
international police force to protect

Cost of the War.
Gunton's Magazine finds the cost
of the war with Spam and the cam
paign in the Philippines beteen
March, 1898, and June, 1899, to
have been $274,247,-354. This fig
ure covers only the increase of ex
penditure in the War and Navy
Departments in the time named.
But there were expenses connected
with the war in other departments,
and there have been heavy expend
itures in the Philippines since June
last, to say nothing of-the bills yet
unpaid. . T :
Still Going North.
The colored people of the Ri
Square section are still going to
Virginia, New Jersey, New- York
and other states up north to live.
About two hundred have gone from
this section this year, and their
absence has been felt in the mak
ing and housing of crops to some
extent. Those who ga are, for the
most part, the able bodied and the
thrifty men and women. The aged,
the decrepit and the children
are left behind. Roanoke-Chowan

Tho State's Insane.
Dr. Kir by, superintendent of tbe
insane atyJum at Raleigh, baa re
turned from New York. While
there he visited several insane asy
lums, among them one with 6,000
inmates. He asked the percentage
of cures and was told 25. He was
asked percentage at Raleigh and
replied 65 to 70. At this great
surprise was expressed and he was
asked how such a high percentage
was attained and replied that it
iras by the general treatment.
Dr. Kirbj is now. devising plans
for giving light employment to fe
male patients. He finds that they
are thus employed, and most bene
ficially, at New York. Here they
are idle and as a result the per
centage of cures among them is not
as high as among tbe male patients,
who are employed.
