New Engines For tha S.A.O, Some time sinoe the S. A. <fc M. rail road authorities placed orders with the Baldwin Locomotive Works, of Pbila delphia, for a number of their best and heaviest locomotives, to be used in the freight service of that road. Three of these ponderous engines have been completed and will arrive here in the course of a week or two, to, be fol lowed by others later on. They are, perhaps, the largest locomotives in the state, weighing sixty ions or 120,000 pounds each. They are "ten wheelers” with oyllnders 19 by24 Inches, and can pull fifty loaded oars without the slight est difficulty. . Some-tdeabef the, else of thesa Iron Monsters may be bad In a knowledge of the Tact that they are is,000 pounds heavier than any of the big ten wheelers now in the service of the 8. A. A M, these having an average weight of fifty- two tons or 104,000pounds.
