The morning express from Paoli and Bryn Mawr on the Pennsylvania Road rushes along at the mate of thirty-eight miles an hour, says the Record, and the evening expresses from Broad Street Station to those points are scheduled to make the distance in the same time. Quick bursts of speed are made by the accommodation trains te Bryn Mawr and Paoli. These frequently dash from one station to another at the rate of for- ty-fivemiles an hour. The Norristown and Manayunk trains, both express and accomodation, often make forty-five miles an hour. The 7.30 a. m. express from Norristown, which reaches Broad Street Station, seventeen miles away, at 9:22 is frequently delayed, but seldom exceeds the schduled running time of thirtytwo minutes. The Reading 8 o'clock express from the same place slows up at Ninth and Green streets, sixteen miles away, in twenty.nine min. utes from the starting point. Two flyers are the 3.01 and 6,07 after noon trains out of Broad street station for Wilmington. The first stop is at Chester, fourteen miles down the road, and frequently when the train is delayed the distance is covered in seventeen minutes. A nearly equal rate of speed prevails on the Balimore and Ohio Road to the same points. The local trains on these roads are scheduled to run twenty. five miles an hour, including all stops, and the run between stations is at a high rate of speed. TO BRISTOL AND MEDIA, The fast trains of Frankford, Holmes. burg and Bristol fly past the intermedi. ate stations at a speed that sometimes reaches forty-five miles an hour, and the accommodation trains for the same points also spin along at a good pace. The Media and West Chester trains of. ~ temtimes run at a speed of over thirty. five miles an hour. The trains on this road are hindered by the line being sing- le tracked beyond Media, but the runs are seldom made at a less rate than thir. tymiles an hour.

The quickest train between this city and Baltimore goes at the of 41.6 miles an hour. The fastest long-istance train run is that of | the Chicago limited, on the New York Central road, which averages 40 miles the Pennsylvania road makes 38 miles an hour for the whole trip of 900 miles. While these trains are scheduled to run at a regular rote of speed, an express whose aveage speed is 40 miles an bour must make much faster time than that. in parts of its run, A special train that was hauled over the Bound Brook Road by the “Shaw” locomotive made one mile in the unpre. cedented time of 48seconds. This is the record! of the fastest time made in this country. Tho slowest express on recond is probably a North Carolina train, which runs at the rate of 11.1 miles an hour; but a Delaware train, that makes the run from Salisbury to Ocean City, 2% miles, intwo hours, is a strong compe. titor for the honor, Ci— A] —— PIRST YANKEE STEAM EN. GINE. Deseription of One in Cranston I! I, in 1787, In the biography and diary of Mun- asseh Cutler, LL. D., of Ipswich, Mase.. Just issued, is given a description of what was probably the first practical stationary steam engine used in the United States. Itappears in the diary of Dr. Cutler as written when the im. pression was fresh in his mind. It may be called a “* Yankee steam engine,” hav. ing been made under the direction of a Rhode Island man, and containing jm. provements upon its English prototypes, The diarist was on a chaise journey to New York, and his diary is of the date of June 27, 1787. He says: To go to the furnace and engine was eight miles, nearly, out of my way, but i my curiosity was so much excited by the | description of sosingulara scheme—the only one in America~that I could not deny myself the pleasure of viewing it. I arrived at the ore beds (iron ore) at 12 o'clock. The engine was at work ris ing water from a well eighty feet deep. The iron flue is two and onehaif feet wide by six feet long, with a square hearth at the mouth secured from fire by large, thick, fron plates. On the back part of the flue is a winding funnel which passes into a chituney on the back part of the building. Above the flue is placed a wooden boiler, six feet in dismeter, which is constantly kept full of water when the above the first story of the building, used in distilleries, where it receives, at the top, the condensing cylinder, two and one-half feet in diameter, and made pipes, one feeding pipe and one {| which rises the water ont of engine is in motion.

Ax one bucket arises another goes down. These wells are kept dry by the water continually drawing off into the well where the pumps are fixed, and the pumps keep the water below the height where the men work.

Her reception there was not very cor- dial, it is said, and in the evening she left there, but returned some time after and drank the drug, which she had pur. chased whileaway from the house inthe presence of her sister. The latter asked her whit she was taking and she replied that it was medicine for a pain in her stom- ach. After swallowing the lauandum she agaim left the house and nothing more wis seen of her by her relatives until she was brought to them ainiost a Corpse, In addition to the explanation given above for the attempt of Miss Owens upon her life, there is another that finds eo nsiderable eradence, viz: Despondency on account of disappointment in love, It is said she was violently smitten with a young man named Gust Williams, and that it was with an understanding that he was to call upon her there that she visited her sister's on Tuesday evening. He failed to keep his promise, so the story goes, a8 he often had before failed to keep similar promises, and this fact #0 worked upon her that she decided to end her trouble by suicide, It is said this spot her first attempt at self.destruction, but that on two or three previons occasions she not only made threats that she would take her life, but actually endeavored to carry them into execution.

One of the most dastardly desds that ever stained and polluted the annals of crime was committed here on Tuesday night of last week, when a young and thoughtless girl was enticed away drug. ged, outraged and left lying on the street in the driving min, half nude and whoolly unconscious, The victim was Miss Lyda Cocheran. of Cool Spring, and the circumstances as reported to us, are about as follows: The girl came to this place on Sadar: day of last week and secured employ- tents in Langan & Morey 's restaurant. She staid there until the following Ties. day when her resignation was accepted. While there she made the acquaintance of some of the members of a socalled Indian medicine company, who had pitched their tents on a vacant lot on Findley street and were boarding at the restaurant. They gave a variety show ti- der canvas, which the girl attended on Tuesday night after the performance it appears that some of them sought her company, gave her liquor, which was probably drugged, enticed her away, and while she was deprived of her senses brutally outraged her. .
