STRUGGLING WITH
HEAVY FREIGHT
Pennsylvania Orders the Twenty-Five
Largest Locomotives Ever Put In
i to Its Regular Freight Service.
PHILADELPHIA. Pa. The Penn
sylvania Railroad has directed its
Motive Power Department, at Altoona
to construct 2!> new freight engines
which will be the largest and heaviest
locomotives the Pennsylvania has
ever constructed or utilized for its
regular freight service.
The present standard Hti consul!-
1 dation type has a heating surface of
j 2842 square feet, and bus a cylinder
| 22x28; the diameter of its driving
wheels is s*l 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 H 8 consolidation type. They
will have a heat ng surface .of 3,860
square feet, cylinders 24x28, and the
diameter of their four ponderous driv
ing wheels will be 112 inches, or ti
inches more than the present stand
ard. The new engine will have a trac
tive power of 43,0u0 pounds, and will
weigh. In working order, about 225,-
000 pounds.
These engines will be used for the
heavy freight service. They are a re
sult of the tremendous demand for
ears and the growing tendency to
ward moving freight with greater and
greater rapidity. The element of time
is increasingly important in modern
railroading. The new engines are
constructed with a view to increasing
the speed at which the heavy frelgh;
I trains may move, especially over the
; new low grade freight line, to which
the company purposes in time to de
flect all of Its heavy tonnage. Thlß
increase in speed will make a greater
number of cars available each day and
will materially increase the company’s
facilities for handling freight to the
advantage of consumers as well as
shippers.

"I thank you, Polly. Two letters:'

Aurelle's assistant w ill call upon Mrs

Instructions not to leave Mrs. I.ove
day's premises without tho money."
"Oh, what shall I do? Gtviffrey
knows nothing of this bill, and I
know he is very hard un himself."
At this moment Geoffrey Loveday
entered the room.
"Any letters. Ph>llia?"
"Yes, Geoff; there're two for you.
i Aunt Sophoulsha, from New York. Is
| coming today, to stay with tis for a
; while."
“That's good. She's the one with

jihls? Adam Black —who Is Adam
Black?"
I “Isn't, he the uncle your mother

"By Jove! I believe you are right."

"Have arrived in England after

"ADAM BLACK."
“My aunt and your uncle—we shall
be quite a party, Geoff I am going ont

want any breakfast. Geoff; I am going
out to do some shopping."
"All right, old girl: don't mind me."
“Thank goodness, she's gone before
,1 opened this letter.”
“Messrs. Stumpy & Short beg to in
form Mr. Goeffrey Loveday that they
are sick and tired of his promises to
imy their account of 40 pounds 3s fid,
and to notify him that they are aliout
to put in an execution forthwith.”
“What? Horrible, horrible! A
broker’s man in Parad'se Villa. It
must not. shall not be! Whore are
my hoots? Polly, Polly—”
"Yes, sir; I’m here air; an’ es yer
please sir, there's a carrotv-’aired

"Lost, lost, all is loBt! Too late! too
late! Oh, Aunt Sophontsba; and
your fat legacy! Oil, Adam Black,
my fat uncle —”
At this moment a short stout, red
faced man entered the room with an
apologetic air.
“And ro, sir this is how you tTo
your scurvy business. Enter a man s
house and take possession without a
‘With your leave' or 'By your leave.'
But, understand me, sir, I will not be
trifled with. You are here, and here
I suppose you must stay. Now, lis
ten to me, and do as you are told. My
wifo’R aunt Is coming here to spend
a few days, and out fat legacy would
vanish if she knew the brokers were
in. I am now going to the city to
beg, borrow or st<jal money, and until
1 come back and pay you out your I

understand? My uncle! Husli! not a

“Ah. Phyllis, my darling, here Is my
lunch, Mr. Adam Black, arrived a lit-!
tie before bis time, but none the less
welcome, eh?”
"Oh, certainly not, I hope we shall
all spend a very hapny time together.
Welcome, uncle to Paradise Villa."
And to Oeorev’s horror, she threw
her sre-s -ud the fat man’s neck
and kissed ’him
"Es yer »Vi, there's a female
'ooman In thrr’ all wlv a ban'box, an
she ses she's come ter stav.”
"Oh, (bar, f am lost. What can I
do? -Oh, I must see her and plead
with her: and for the lime being she
j must be Miss Hopboulsba Skinner, tny
aunt, from New York. Polly, show
the (a rson up."
Further thought was precluded by
the entrance of an eld* rlv female.
"And, so, miss, your employer.!
Mine. Aurclle has presumed to dlt
turb the peace and quletneas of thi
happy home by Instructing you to
intake this your abode until I pay you. 1
I Very well, you shall have the money t

“Why, bless the girl, I ”
"Not. a word; here comes mv hus-i
band. Oh. Geoff, such a surprise! 1
Here’s Aunt Sophonisba, from New
York.”
“Hv Jove! I am glad to see you. i
Welcome, aunt, we’come"’
And Geoffrey .throwing his arms
around the newcomer, kissed her not
once, ’ vt *w!c<
, "Geoffrey: How dare you 1"
I "Why, what’s the matter. Pliyll? If

too. There, my dear, take that, and
! that."
“Oh. I eun't stand this! Auntie,
denr. wont you conn- nud take your
things off and rest a little?"
The red faced man entered the
room and Geoffrey seised him by the
shoulders and pushed him Into a
ehalr.
“Now, you sit there, you human
vulture, and if you dare tell anybody
that your name Is not Adam Black,
I’ll—l'll squelch you."
As Geoffrey bounced out of the
room the red-faced man looked after
him pit (fully.
"Nice lunatic aavlttm this Is! My
name being Adam Black, why should
1 deny It? I’va tried to explain, tint
he wont let me sav a word. There's
something wrong somewhere. Halloa!
who's this? Another lunatic?"
The door opened and the elderly
female who had gone upstairs with
i Phyllis entered. Adam Black looked
at her with surprise,
i “What? Bophanlsta!"
"Adam! Well, thank goodness,
there Is one sune being tn this house.
But what arc you doing here?"
"Paying a visit to my nephew.
Geoffrey Loveday."
"And I atn visiting my niece, l’hyl

"Lor’! Fancy your niece and my
nephew being man and wife! Have
you told ’em that we’re fixed It up to
get married?"
"Told them? They won't listen to
anything. There's something wrong
I here, Adam, and we must put It rlgh*.
I My niece doesn't know me, and In

"And my nephew' thlks I’m ithe

“But Phyllis knows you ns Adam

"VeR; my nephew insisted upon me
pretinrtlng to be myself."
"Olt! this Is getting mixed tip. Phyk

"I’ll tell you what it is, Sophy.
Phyllis doesn’t know that Geoff Is ex
pecting the brokers and Geoffrey
doesn't know I hat Phylltn Is being
dunned by her dressmaker.”
"I believe you are right . What
shall we do?"
"Leave nte alone with Phyllis, and
I'll get her to confide In you me. You
tackle Geoff, and get him to conflnde
in you. Hush! here is Phyllis now

"Ah! little darling; hack again, eh?
Come and sit down with old Uncle
Adam and let us have a cutlet talk,
i Why, what's the matter? You’ve
been crying. Come, come tell me all
about It."
“On, uncle. I'm so unhappy! I’ve
hoen so wicked, and I've deceived
Geoffrey”—and she told him all.
"My word! Well, well, let me see
what I can do. Come along to Geof
frey's den, and i II see If I can't, find
the money in nty portmanteau."
"Oh, you denr, kind uncle! I shall

And in her gratitude Phyllis threw
her arms around Adam's neck just uh
Geoffrey entered the room.
"Here, confound you; how dare
you? Phyllis, I'm—l’m—l'm shocked!"
"It. Is only Uncle Adant, Geoffrey,

"Yes, It's oniy dear old uncle.

Anything wrong, Geoffrey?"
"Yes. everything's wrong; the
broker's man is In possession."
"The brokor's man?"
"Yes; a carroty-haired brute with
pork-chop whiskers.”
Then he told his story.
"Ami how much does litis Interest

Exactly 4!* pounds, 3s fid.”
“Well, dear, here is it hank note for
50 pounds."
"By Jove, aunt, you are a trump!” |
"Well, surely you arc going to kiss

“Rather ai often as you like."
And whlb Geoffrey was engaged In
this pleasant occupation Adam Black
entered with Phyllis,
“Woman, there Is your money; take.
It and begone."
"Man, your money Is here; take It
and clear out.”
"Geoffrey!"
"Phyllis!"
"What does ibis mean?" asked
Phyllis.

MINER BENEFITS
■CI PAYMENTS
New System Enables Operators to
Protect Helpers Formerly at Mercy
of Contract Miners —Laborers Big
Earnings Now Known for First
Time- r
NEW YORK—The following slste
ment is authorized on behalf of the
anthracite coal operators:
Mine laborers nr# benefit ting large
ly from the rule of the Anthracite
Strike Commission, requiring that
the operators make direct, payments
to contract miners’ helpers. Formerly
.the miner was supposed to pay his
j own laborers, who load the coal cut
'or blasted by him. Under that system
the operators lmd no way of knowing
the wages earned by miners' laborers,
and were therefore unable to refute
the cry of "starvation wages.”
Now they And that the laborer fre
quently receives for bis work, which
requires no skill, from $2.50 to 12.75
a day.
The contract miners' laborers often
fared badly under the old system.
The miner frequently failed to pay
him at. all, and as he bad no right, to
look to the company for redress, he
was helpless. When he was paid, the
! saloon was generally selected as the
'pay place, In order that the saloon
keeper might assist, in making change;
and it frequently happened that both
miner and laborer spent, much of
their earnings over the bur before they
left the saloon
These evils hnve been done away
I with as a result of the diroot-payment
award, which Is now fully In force.
All contract miners are required to
furnish, prior to each pay day, a
statement oi the amount due from
j them to their laborers. The coal
I company must deduct that sum from
.the amount dun the contract miner,
and pay It direct ly to Ihe laborer.
By this method the laborer is sure
of Ills money, and the necessity of go
| Ing to the saloon Is removed. If on
pay day the laborer claims that the
miner has understated the amount
due him, the company holds back the
pay of both until the discrepancy Is
adjusted. The company keeps an ac
count of the time that the laborer
works and Is accordingly able to as
-1 slst In settling such a dispute.
