KAIl.KOAI) NOTES.
Some very Jarge eitulpineiit orders have
been repotted In our news columns in the
last few weeks. The contracts for new
tars ivpurteil lust week, lor Instance,
iimoiinteil to fi.tutl cars. The1 lncli'led
ii.mi tue New Voik Ceiitiul und
Hudson lilverand Ki le roads for 2 'KM curs
jell, and from the Lake Shui; und Mich
igan Southern for I,.'ki. C.uiug over our
!iles for the current year we Und thut the
car orders which we have recorded fool
up to the respectable liglire of I2.3UU. If
we Include the orders for new equipment
awarded the lew weeks before Jan. I, tills
total will be largely Increased. Tiie Penn
sylvania alone ordered 5, '.mi cars, and
other companies about I ,.1X cars. We Und,
therefore, that the car-bulldlng concerns
have put order on their books III the tlirt
few weeks of litis year for about Lli.iiotl
cars In round numbers. The actual tig lire
1 11 1 it-1 be larger Hum thai, for 11.1 luiiL;
there have been some orders of which we
have failed to hear. Our annual sum
onirics of fir budding have shown only
::2.H'I0 cars built In 1195. only 17. inn in 1894
Hit l 51.11110 in 1X9.1. The lattev llgitre must
be lielow the normal annual reuuiiviii.-nts
for new cars. With o. lers for nearly half
that number already given out, tilers
seems much likelihood of 11 larger number
of ears than Mi.'no being built this year.
That, as we have said, means an excel
lent business lor many lines of railroad
supply manufacturing. Railroad tlazette.

An ofllcer of the Joint Tronic association
says that there Is very little In the talk
about efforts on the pact nf western roads
to break up the association. There lire
dome weak roads in the west that are com
plaining because they can no longer iru
rate with Joint Tratlic roads on cut rates

longer the Joint Tr.iftic association en
dures their attacks the stronger It grows.
Roads that are not In the ussoeiuiou. lint

are rinding it to their advantage to accept

The aingle-driver locomtlve turned out
at the Baldwin Locomotive works) in
August last for fast passenger service on
the Reading has given such satisfaction
that a second engine, an exact duplicate
of the firt, has been constructed anil de
livered to the Reading company. Vice
President Voorhees. of the Reading rail
road, when aked yesterday whether the
company ptirposd adopting this, type nf
engine for Its fast passenger service, nald
that engine No. 3H5, the first or this
type to be built, had warranted th,e com
pany In ordering the second one. It was
therefore very probable that these en
gines would in time come Into general use
on the Reading In connection with its fast
Passenger service. The engines In ques
tion are what Is known as the compound
or Vauclain four-cylinder tvpe. the cy
linders being- thirteen Inches and 22211
Inches, and having piston valves. The
weight Is 113.000 pounds, of which 48,000
pounds Is carried on one pair of drivers.
It has a four-wheel truck fotward and
a pair of trailing wheels behind the driv
ers. The drivers are eighty-four and one.
fourth inches In diameter, and truck
wheels thirty-six Inches. The engine h'ls
a Wootten tlrebnx, with a water-tube
grate. The heating surface Is 1.4i!0 situate
