The present standard HCb consoli
dation type has a heating surface of
2,842 square feet, and has a cylinder
22x28; the diamentor of its driving
wheel is 50 inches, Its tractive power
is 40,000 pounds, and when In working
order it weighs 205,000 pounds.
The new engines, which will be ex
perimental for the time, will be known
as the H8 consolidation type. They
will have a. heating surface of 3.850
square feet, cylinders 24x28, and the
dimeter of their four ponderous driv
ing wheels will be C2 inches, or 6
Inches more than the present stand
ard. The new engine will have a
tractive power of 43,000 pounds, and
will weigh, in working. order, aooui
225.000 pounds.
These, engines will be used ror uie
hoaw freight service. . They are re
sultant of the tremendous demand for
ears and the grov ing tendency towarc
moving freight wl'.n greater rapidity.
Th oinmpnt of time is iucret singly
important in modern rallroadinfe. ine
new engines are constructed1 with a
view to increasing the speed at which
the heavy freight trains may move,
ocrwiaiw- over the new low grade
frint nil, to which the company pur
poses in time to deflect all of Its heavy
tonnage. This Increase m speeo
,.b irrf-fltpr number of cars avail
able each day and will materially in
plans for the bulldihg wero drawn by
Zimmerman & Lester, of this city.
o will he seen from the picture, uie

The second floor Is ddvdded into four
spacious rooms, large hall, ladies toil
et, and trunk room.
The attic is to be large dancing hall
Opening out from the attic la a large!
balcony having a terrazo floor. The
balcony Is 25x30 feet. From this bal-
conv it Is said the best view of the
"waterfront to be found in any build
ing on the grounds in furnished.
The frout portico of tho building Is
very wide and spacious, having a clr
cular form at the entrance with large
colonial columns extending to the
main balcony. The roof over the front
porch surrounds three sides of the
building and Is so treated as to form
a balcony over the entire porch, the
entrance to which is from the second
floor through largo double doors.
Alt windows throughout tho build
ing wiH be polished! plate glass with
beveled plate in front and vestmuio
dooors. The roofs are of Bhingles,
