Thefailure of the gas supply in no way in-terferes with the operation of the plant,as the coal firing is then immediately re-sumed.

A group of new compound locomo-tives recently built by the Schenectadyworks for the New York Central haveproved to be very powerful engines. Intests made recently the engines started81 loaded cars out of a bad hole with-out difficvilty. The Western Maryland Railroad haveordered 300 coal cars to be built after thedesign of Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt.
