PITTMAN PATENT8 A BOLT.
Valdostan Invents Self-Adjusting Bolt
for Holding Rail Joints.
James I. Pittman, of this city, has
recently secured a "patent on a self-
adjusting rail joint bolt which prom
ises to supply to the railroads of this
country a bolt for tieing rail Joints
that Is both economical in construe
tion and the perfection of safety; also
a bolt that requires no attention af
ter being placed in position.
Bolts and nuts must constantly be
replaced on account of one or both
becoming lost, threads stripping,
heads of bolts being pulled off, to say
nothing of the danger to traffic possi
ble from the bolts coming out before
being tightened.
All of this is remedied by the self-
adjusting rail joint bolt, a simple bolt
with a slot through the bolt near the
blank end. This bolt is passed
through the rail and plate, a washer
is placed next to the Inner rail plate,
after which a wedge-shaped key Is
dropped through the slot in bolt and
anoth< r washer is placed against the
outside of ‘he key, the lattef washer
being held in place by a smaller
wedge-shaped key. and both keys are
provided with a splfftl ring in the bot
tom to guard against the remote pos
sibility of any person moving the
keys.
The point where the bolts were at
tached is considered one of the most
difficult to keep the old style bolts
adjusted, and must be looked after at
frequent Intervals, which, viewed from
an economical standpoint, is quite ex
pensive to the owners of the railroad
llneH and a constant source of worry
to supervisors and track foremen.
Tfie new self-adjusting bolt was at
tached more than six weeks ago, has
never been adjusted in that time, has
not required any attention and is
tight today and In as good condition
as it was the first day it wns placed
in position.
The gentlemen who have taken an
interest In watching the results of
the trial with this device are W. W.
Godhold. W. II. O'Quinu, J. B. Ken
nedy and W. F. Rountree, of this city,
all practical railroad men.
Messrs. Goldhold and O'Quinn are
track foremen, being stationed by
their companies in this city, and
have watched the operations of thi
bolt while being given a practical
test.
Congregation’s Good Record.
The congregation of the Christian
church has made an excellent record
in the past few weeks, especially
since Rev. Richard Wallace accepted
the pastorate. In that time they have
put handsome art glass In all of the
windows, which adds a great deal to
the beauty as well as the comfort of
the building.
This week they closed a contract
for some beautiful quarter-sawed oak
seats, to be delivered within sixty
days, by one of the greatest manufac
turers in the country. They will also
finish at once the lecture room In the
roar of the church, that part of the
building having been left unfinished
Besides all or these things, the con
gregatlon this week paid off a debt of
$2,GOO. The congregations at each
service nro inrge and the church is in
a flourishing condition.
Escaped Convict Caught.
Officer McIntyre picked up a negro
named John Love this week, suspect
ed of being an escapod convict from

Neal. A lettor was found on him from
