FOR SVRVBTOR GENERAL,
Up!. JAMES 11. COOPER,
or txwaitxct: COCWTY
In this week's Reporter we furnish some
valuable matter upon the subject of narrow
gauge railways, in which our people arv
now so deeply interested. D<a desire to
fhrnish the people of Centre county with
all the light upon this subject in our power, j
so they may judge intelligently, aud there- j
fore ask for the articles referred 100, the I
ooseeial and careful attention ofourreaders
Such a* cannot get over their prejudices
against a narrow gauge road, after reading
the opinions of eminent engineers, must at
least admit that such a gauge is far better
than none at mil, and that the opinions of
these men are worth more than the idea- J
of parsons who are not railroad men. and
who only wish to defeat our railroad and
use you for selfish purposes.
(Jen. Grant has intimated that a DENT
must be placed with him on the next ticket,
for Vice-President. We think the-democ
racy will rfenf his ticket so badly, next
presidential election, that he will find 1
himse-lt lost among them. i
In addition to the Narrow Gauge tail
road bill which we published in our last
issue, Mr. Meek had another bill, for this j,
county, entitled the "Bellefonte Buffalo j
Run and rhilipsburg Narrow gauge rail- j
road ioouipapy," with privilege to make 1
nothing hut a narrow gauge not exceeding i
36 inches. There were several other bills ,
of the narrow gauge order, one of which
alone covered the entire county. Gracious,
what a "narrow escape the pet-pie oft'en- !
tre county have mad
Mr. Jeffarson Davis writes to tho At
lanta News that he has been falsely repor- <
ted in his Augusta as well as his Atlanta
speech. He had not the most remote idea ]
of counselling any renewal ofaruied rests- j
tance to the Government of the I nited
States. He says that he expressly declared , i
that, in saying the South could wait, he * i
only applied his remark to the time for a j ,
removal of tho more obnoxious features o; |
recent Congressional legislation. Above
all, he did not intend to counsel the South
ern people not to tolerate the situation,
lie looks wholly to the good sense of the
North for relief rroin the evils which now
oppress the Southern people, and not to
any forced or factious opposition to fact-;
as they now exist-
New York city, under democratic rule,
has reduced the salaries of Us officers, and j
has a much smaller debt than Philadelphia, !
where radicalism always holds sway and j
grinds tha people with laxalion. Here's a
sample.
The Boston folks had a local optiou li
quor law passed, and a few days ago, took
a vote whether beer fhould be sold or not.
Beer carried. This is rather discouraging
for the friends of such a measure; if up in
sanctimonious, puritanical Boston the poo-
Sle vote for beer, how much better would
le anti-beer guzzlers fare down in Penn
sylvania.
Bellefonte for tte Narrow tillage.
Pursuant to public notice, a meeting of
the subscribers to the L. C. & S. C. Rail
road from Bellefonte to the North M est
end of Nittany mountain, was held at
Bush s Hall, Bellefonte, on Saturday even
ing July th We have the full proceed
ings of the meeting, but are sorry thai on
account of the late hour at which they
were received, and a pressure of other mat
ter, we can only give the essence of the
same.
D. G. Bush was called to the chair, and
W.H. Blair appointed Secretary. The
Chairman stated the object of j i
and a c<>rninitio, consisting of U. N. McAl
lister, E. Blanchard. M. T. Milliken. John
Irwin, Jr.. Daniel Rhoads, E. C. Hume
and "W. P. Duncan, were appointed to!
draft resolution* expressive of the tense of j
the meeting, who after retiring for consul- ;
Ist ion reported the following:
I Resolved, That as stockholders in that j
pari of the line of the Lewishurg and ■
Spruce Creek Railroad, between Bellefonte i
and the end of Nittany Mountain, we are j
decidedly in favor of the three feet gauge* ;
provided that it be adopted as the guage of
the entire line, believing, as we do, the i
narrow guage most profitable to the stock- ,
holders and most beneficial to the commu
nity. i
Mr. Kd. Blanchard then strongly advo
cated the narrow guage, as the bent and
cheapest, and made an earnest appeal lor
harmony, as the only alternative was a
narrow guage or no road.
M. T. Milliken, *aid ; Whep the narrow
guage was first mentioned, he was as much .
opposed to it as any one could be, and \
looked upou the proposition a* redit-ulous j
and believed it was got up to break down |
tho enterprize; but be wa* now in favor of |
it, and that because he bad found from ex - {
amining the subject, that it was not only
not going backwaads, hut that by adopting
it, we were keeping pace with the time*.
All the best railroad men in the world
were recommending it.
H. N. McAllister, said. Like the gen
tlemen who have preceded me, until I had
informed myself, I was opposed to the
narrow guage. Inquiry and investigation,
however, have not only silenced opposi- j
tion but have dissipated doubts and bro't
me heartily t the support of the narrow '
guage. For the grading of the narrow
guage road the money required has b.'en
fully subscribed. For the grading of the
broad guage road the money required lias
not been subscribed;
K. C. Humes, said: For my own part, 1
confess that when I first heard the narsow
guage proposed 1 was decidedly opposed
to the measure, but, from the investigation
I have given the subject since, I am in fa
vor of the resolution aud hope there will
be a unanimous vote.
P. (J. Meek, then said : He was not a
stockholder, but he had a
L£TTKK IN Hl* POCKET
from Mr. Miller, stating that what money
teas subscribed when added to what wad nt,
would be amply sufficient to complete the
broad guage road, and that its friend* had
only to stand up for their rights and they
would get them. And then added that our
jangling over the guage would result in
no guage. (We think the "letter" and the
'pocket" together with the Watchman of
last winter in which Mr. Miller was scolded
for being too slow and inefficient, should
be sent to the curio*ity shop )
D. G. Bush, then, after snowing how we
had come short in the money subscribed,
said. What farmer of Pennsvalley will
quarrel over the gunge and lose the great
end in view. . . . Who is it that is kee
ping up this jangle and fight? I need not
say, gentlemen, you know.
Here Mr. Bush raising his voice to its
full volume and his manly stature to its
full dignity, exclaimed in the most elo
quent manner, "I verily believe if it had
not been for the weekly emanations from
' one of the printing offices of this town,
against the narrow guage, we would, be
fore this time, have had the road under
- contract."
The stock vote was then taken, which re
snltcd : For narrow guage 249. Against
28. Majority for 221.
Our Railroad.
For twenty year# already hare tlic
people of IYnnavally boon wishing ard
working for a railroad through this
part of the county, ami efforts wore
: made at different times to raise the
money to pay for the grading of such
a road aud every such effort proved a
failure, but the present one never be
fore was a sum sufficient subscribed to
warrant the making of a survey, until
the present effort, which dates hack
some four years —four years of |>or-
Mstent, untiring work on the part of
! the friends of the railroad, and what
is the result? Wo now seo the
road located, a letting hud fur the
grading, and the line staked off, ready
for the pick ami shovel yea inert*,
! we see that on ten miles of the eastern
j end tho rails are being put down and
| in a few weeks the ears will be run
ning over that many miles of this so
[ ' rt, ig prayed for railroad. The heart
of every true railroad man and friend
of improvements, is made glad with
the success that now more than ever
seems to crown these efforts and the
| certainty of soon haviug trains of cars
running through IVnnsvalUy.
Hut this project has over lmd its ene
mies—there were men ami still are,
who always wished our magnificent
valley might remain isolated, and that
our hardfisted farmers oontinue to be
compelled to lug for miles across high
mouutains before finding a market.
Our railroad project had a secret ene
my in men who dared not openly o|>-
jiose it, and who professed to be the
friends of our people only that they
might continue to lioav them.
Now since the project has got uud-. r
such fair headway, a desperate effort
is being made by a clique to sow dis
sent ion aiuoug our people with the
hope to breake it down in the very
hour of its triumph.
We firmly believe that the railroad
will be built but we tell the people of
Pennsvalley to beware uow of outside
intennevllcrs and professed friends aud
to remain firm iu their determination
that the railroad shall go ahead—be it
4 feet 8| or 3 feet guage, for if this
opportunity be lost and we permit our
enemies to advise us, theu good bye
railroad, and this generation will not
live to see another stake dr;veu for
such an euterpriie after the failure o!
our present effort,—but tnauy of us
may live to hear our children upbraid
us for our folly. The graudest legacy
we can band down to them is a rail-1
road, and we come short of our duties
as men aud citizens if we do not press
forward unitedly and iusisl upou the.
work going ahead without delay and
determined that the labors ol the last
four years shall not go for nought.
Citizens of Pennsvalley, we appeal
to you to press your shoulders closer to
the wheel, and let not the work be
checked by the advice ot sordid, selfish
and unprincipled outsiders who ouly
love you that they may use you and
fleece you. What we need is a rail
road and wc cau now have it. If it he
a 4 foot 8| inch guago let it conic
quick as possible —if our "menus will
not allow us that, theu let us have a
three foot guage, for in our humble
opinion it is not only as good, but
cheaper than the former. We are for
a railroad, and shall agree to either
guage.
The idea thrown out to our people
to abandon the project in its present
stage and shape, and start anew with
the formation of a new company, is a
fool's idea, aud is intended to kill oor
railroad project. Never again can
one fouith the money be obtniued that
we now have upou the stock hooks ;
never again can a set of men be had
to labor as did our people labor during
the last four years to get the work U|>-
on a footing, and under a "new deal'
our people will never again see the
work staked oft' ready for pick and
spade as wc no v." sec it. The advice
to a "new deal" aud a "new company"
is nothing more than to strang.'e the
project in its present prosperous career
and keep Pennsvalley chained in the
nook of isolation.
District Attorney
For the Reporter.
A* thi* office it one of impmunco to the
public, and require* experience in tlx j
criminal Law of the Commonwealth, in |
the ditcharge ofiU duties, without fear or,
f*vor to any one. care should be taken in
the selection of that officer. But it has
been looked upon as s training around for
lb<*e who have only studied the A. K.
of Law. To bestow it upon these when it j
requires years of close study and practice
to know the intricacies and be welf versed
in criminal Law, it is in my opinions great
mistake and an injustice to the people.
Consulting with my nciahbors upon this j
subject and looking atthelistofcandidati-s
(or district attorney we believe there is one j
whose name hai not been announced, that
would ho if chosen the right man In the
tight place. We allude of course, to the
name of James Macmanu* Esq.. one of
the oldest—if not the oldest—member* of
the Bellefonte Bar. Hi* experience and
ability is well known. He wa* the deputy
attorney general forCentreand other coun
ties some years ago, and w a acknowledged
one of the ablest criminal Lawyer* in the
centre of the state. A* a democrat, who
wa* ever more active in advocating the
principles <>f hi* party or combatting the
schemes ot it* opponent*. For year in
this county ho never tired in well doing,
uud when tho narty met with defeat we af
waaa looked to Mr. Macmanu* for advice
una counsel in regard to the proper course
to pursue. And on following that advice
we never erred.
He never was an office-seeker although a
favorite with the party ; hut on the contra-1
ry, when his democratic friend* proposed]
to confer office upon him, he would de
cline theofflcein favor of other*. I remcm- !
berofMr. Macmanu* having been called
upon by several gentlemen and requested
to be a candidate for district attorney he
fore the nomination of 11. Y. Stitzer Esq.
He declined being a candidate, or inter
fering in any way with the nomination of
Mr. Stitzer, and* it may be that he will
again refuse to be a candidate now, and
that 1 am in my friendship, and in my de
tire for his success a* an üblu lawyer aud
active democrat, acting contrary to the
wishes or intention of Mr. Mucmnnus. I
hone not however, for if Mr. Mactnanu*
will accmit the nomination for that office 1
urn satisfied he will he nominated by the
united voice of the democracy ol" Centre
county, who can never forget the long
laithlul and active service* rendered by
him to our party, whether in victory or
de cat.
A DEMOCRAT OFGKKIHJ
For the Reporter.
Dr. P. N. Fisher—Assembly.
The Democratic parly is to be considered
fortunate in having among it* tried, devo
ted and enthusiastic young adherents the
f entleman whose name heads this article—
'. S. Fisher jr. is just in the find flush of
his manhood's prime, is popular every
where, Lusdoueyeotnan service for his par
ty and deserves to be honored with the
nomination; he is willing to accept,!!hut of
assembly. Centre county needs the ser
vices of fresh young men like Dr. Fisher,
and the appearance of his nume on the
ticket would be hailed with delight, not
only by democrats hut by every citizen
having the good of the county at heart.

The name Sugar Valley was derived

coincide with mo were you to look over ,
the peaceful valley, the variegated surface!
of gold and emerald, and the crest-fallen j

The surface foil of our valley is compo-1
sed of caleariou* and argillaceous earths, I
along fishing creek, we find siliciou* earth 1 1

suppose coal cannot bo found from the fact' 1
that all stratified rook* maintain a regular

CHEAP RAILWAYS.
' The New Narrow Guape —further
Consideration of the Subject—The
Difficulties it Has to f'uevuu
ter —'The Way to Mate it
Succeed.
(Prom tint New York World J
In a former paper on this subject, j
which appeared in this journal on the
6th instant, wo alluded briefly to the
"gunge*," as it was called, and pointed
lout how lac narrow gnagc of that pe-'
riod. t,4 feet 81 inches—had car
ried the day, by jenson of its greater
economy; how meantime a new expe
rience, neijuircd hv the introduction ot j
steam, on the still narrower tramways,
had demonstrated that 4 feet 81 inches
was by no means the narrowest limit j
compatible with high speed, safety,
and economy ; tod how, in fact, it had
been admitted by the Joint eomroitteo
of the tw o Houses of the Massachusetts
legislature thnt the little Fcstiniog
railwuv in Wales, with its 231 inches
guage," actually carried "more than
.double the traffic per mile of the Con
necticut Hivcr railroad, ft fair exam
ple of the thrifty roads of Massachu
setts."
Owing to the difficulties everywhere
(interposed to the introduction of new
| guage railways, which will hereafter
jbe considered, we propose to continue
I the arguments in favor of this "new
departure" in scientific railway coti
'structlon. As a- further reason for
urging the fullest inquiry into this im
portant subject, we shall begin by quo-
I ting the first paragraph of the Massa
'chusctta report, which is based on what
may bo called the philosophy of rail
wavs. "It," says the report, "may be
a singular and an anomalous fuel, hut
it is a fact, that railroads, with nil
their usefulness, have been the cause
of interruption to the prosperity of ft
very considerable portion of this State.
Within their limits of gravitation they
have done infinite good, hut outside
the narrow belts of their direct influ
ence they have undoubtedly had the
I effect to deplete population and check
industry. The sources of their traffic
are almost entirely restricted to the
districts that they traverse, and to
wards these there is a cumulative ten
.; dency of ail the producing capabilities.
) Communities and interests are thus
' i made the vicarious benefactors of oth
[jers, in all respecti coequal, except in
'the means of transportation. All in
' jdustry is competitive, and must have
j equally of advantages, and, not find
■ ing tliern at home, goes w here they Hre,
• and severs any local attachment to sc
j! cure them. The sound of the steam
.; whistle now fixes the boundaries of
' nearly all our thrift.'
" Now, as Massachusetts boasts more
mileage of railway for its erca and pop
ulation than any other motion of eoun
i try, the facts above stated apply with
equal or greater force to all other com-
iiiunilie*. The principle that the val*
l ue of property is everywhere in pro
' | mn t ion to it- proximity to market is co
'• well understood that railway compaii
g ies, such as tlm Illinois Central and
numerous others, owning largo trail#!l
of land, "seals" their price* for fartniii
on llio basis of distance from their i
lino*. It IIUM ihu* hnpjicuod in nil our i
older communities, where a sort of |
equalization of values had lieen oslab
li#lu*(| U*for* railway* were introduced,!
that their con*t root ion ha* operated
iuo*t tinju*llv in reaped to the greater|
number of landed proprietor* aud nil
other* engaged in industrial pursuit#
Farm*, wild lands, mill*, faetorie*, and
mercantile limine** of all kind# have
IH'OII depreciuti*! uiul sometimes ruin
e<l in ItK-alilie* tievond the "sound of
the steam whistle." whilst those within
it* magic influence have I wen enhneeeil
a hundred fold.
That our present railway system is
the result of accident, and of bad ami
unwise legislation, can hardly be
doubted. Hut iu this, us in every im
provement iu human economy, nations
bave to learn by experience. Hut
owing to tho conflict of interests, and
the important part performed in uli
our legislation, by intrigue and the
power of money, national ami State
legislatures do not profit by experience
us individuals do. Hence we have,
been over a quarter of a century find
ing out how great were the blunders >
committed by those who have hud )he
shaping of our railway systems. On
this point, the M assachusett* committee j
have made some valuable observations,
and have initiated a general law, which
promises to remedy the evil done by;
preceding Legislatures in that com
monwealth.
The main feature of the law just
passed in that State consist* in author
ising the construction of oulv two
classes of railways, namely—on the
four foot eight mid n half inch and
thirty six inch gauges. The effect of
this wi# measure will be to give to the
"Hay State," within ten years, two
complete systems of railways—-a cir
cumstance not probably thought of,
either by the members of this commit
tee, or by any member o the legisla
ture which parked the bill. The
idea embodied iu the report was that
the three foot-gauge lines to ho built
under the new law, would simply bci
-hurt branches from the main or trunk
railwavs to parts of the country n# yet
bevotnl tho "sound of tho steam-whis- •
tie." We, however, predict that a new
ami most valusble effect or experience
will result from the law, and from the
data given as to the extraordinary ca
pacity of these little and cheap rail
way*. We see in them a "little giant,"
who wilt wiu his way in spite of the
great monopolizing bully who will op
{•use his career. What we clam in ad
vanes for "the new departure" in rail-,
way science is, that wherever ii has a
free nud open field, as it now has in
Massachusetts, it will lead to a new
and complete system of its own. That'
is, instead of serving the subordinate
capacity of "feeders" to the present
trunk lines, the uarron lines will form
new and extensive trunk line* of their
own.
This view of the subject is worth a
little elaboration to make it absolute-,
ly clear and demonstrable in advance
of the results predicted. In our form
er jHiper we argued that the three-foot j
guagc, if provided with two additional
double track* for local traffic near the
great centres of busitiew, would be
equal to the demands of our greatest
trunk lines for a long time to come,
and when the time should
arrivo when the capacity of
such railways was reached it
would Ik? better to extend the addi
tional track# over the whole route, tie
veiling one set to passenger and the
other to freight traffic. VVc have be
before us n lithographic fac-similc of
the rejiort of the distinguished rcprc
tentative* of France, Sweden, Norway.
Switzerland, and North Germany, and
of their signatures indorsing the suc
cessful experiments made with the
Fnirlic engines on the Featuring Hail
way, quoted by the Massachusetts
committee, uj doing more than double|
the mileage business of the average
lines in that State. This fart being
established that a railway with a twen
ty three and a half inch gauge is actu
ally doing "more than double the bm
incn of the Connecticut Kiver Hail
rood. a fair example of the thrifty
roads of Massachusetts," Instanced by
tho Legislative committee of that
Plate, it follows that a line with a
thirty-six inch guage, or one-half
broader, can accommodate, on the
broad gauge theory —which wc have
a right to quote againl* those w ho sup
port that theory—one hall or 50 lcr
cent more traffic. Hut, in fact, we
claim that our "little" is in aii respects
equal in capacity to its older and"big
ger brothers." In other words, that
a three-foot gauge railway properly
constructed, with regard to the actual
amount of work to bo performed, is ca
pable of doing as much a? a four foot
eight and a half incji line. As all our
trunk lines of the latter guage possess
a capacity for doing at lea*t three
times the work they arc now called on
to do, except as to the local business
ucar their F.astern termini, it may
seem to be a work of supererogation to
adduce further arguments ou the sub
ject. Having, however, thrown down
the gauntlet in predicting for the three-,
foot gauge at an early day the crea
tion of a system or trunk lines of its
own, wc propose to quote from the old
er experience of Kuropc such establish
ed mots and arguments as nro already
accepted by the highest and most reli
able authorities. We shall therefore
offer no apology for making free use
of the facta so ably collated nnd ar
ranged by that able railway engineer,
Mr. Robert F. Fairlie, of London.
Mr, Fairlie sets out with the assump
tion that the cost of a railway and
plant, or, as we call it, rolling stock,
are in the ratio of the breadth of gauge.
Hut let us give the exact words of Mr.
Fairlie. Ho says "it is known an!
everywhere admitted that tho propor
tion of non-paying weight in passenger
trains is as. much as twenty-nine to
one, and in good trains, exclusive of
minerals, as much as]seven to one.
This terrible disproportion is partly
due to the system of management pur
sued, but in a far greater degree to the
gauge. The dead weight of trains con
veying either passengers or goods is in
direct proportion to the gauge on
which they run; or, in other words,
the proportion of non-paying to pny
ing freight (as for as this independent
of management) is increased exactly as
the rails are further apart, because a
ton of material's disposed upon a nar
row gauge is stronger as regards its
carrying power, than the same weight
when spread over n wider basis. In
proof of this proportion I need only
cite the ease of the Fcstiniog Railway,
with its gauge of 1 foot 11 j inches.
Tho wagons U|K>II it, for carrying tim
ber, weigh only 12 cwt., and they fre
quently carry a load of !5J tons at a
speed of twelve miles an hour. In
other words, these wagons carry ns
much ns six times their own weight,
whilst the best wagons on the ordinary
Knglish narrow gaugo (4 feet #1 inch
es) do not carry as pinch its tw'ce
their weight. The good management
of the London and Northwestern Kail
way is so universally admitted that it
will seem almost presumptuous (o se
lect this linens an illustration of the
faults of the existing system. I have,
however, selected it, because it* rnnn
ngeinent i* ueh that it* nhmtcoming*
mul ho wholly one to it* construtiion ;
and 1 will proceed to show that if it*
gttago were three foot instead of four
loot eight and a half inches it* good*
traffic could he hauled at half it* pre*-'
cut cost, with half it* present motive
power, and in *tich away a* to reduce!
tho present tonnage over the rol by
one half, and to remove the necessity
for the heavy expense that is now be
ing incurred in the construction of a
third line of rails. lam perfectly pre
pared for the incredulity with which
these statements will at first be re
ceived, hut 1 shall prove their correct
or#* by figure* that cannot err. The
writer who originally said that a train
weight of thirty ton* had to be set in
im. >u for every ton of passenger* car
riod was at first ridiculed for his paius;
but after a time, and w hen people came
to inquire into the matter, it was found
ihnl hi* statement was absolutely cor
rect, insomuch that it i* now universal
ly received aud admitted. In like
manner, the facts about tbe goods traff
ic require only to be investigated, and
every one |Kr#e*#ed of common sense
will tind it easy to understand tliero."
Mr. Fairliu next states that the
goods traflic on the Isnidon ami North
western line for a single year, leaving
out the coal and other mineral#, car
ried, amounts to ten million tons, and
the proportion of non-payiug to pay
ing weight as seven to one. This
would require seventy million tons of
rolling weight to move ten million tons]
of paving load. Hut in order to Ik
(fairly below or within the mark he r<-
■ lure* the proportion to four to one,
inn king the dead tonnage, or weight of
rolling tock employed to carry ten
million ton* of |iaying load, only forty
million ton*. The whole or gro®*
weight hauled will then be fifty mil
lion ton* and at an average tqteed of
twenty-five tnilea an hour.
"The earning* forgoodatrafftcoii this
line are 6*. 3d. j>er train mile, which,
at an average rate all rouud of lid.
I>er ton per mile, would give about fif
Ity ton* a* the paying weight and 255
tons a* the grow weight hauled per
train mile, Dividing this 255 ton* in
to the fifty million* give* 196,0*19
trains, which, being divided by the 313
working day* of a year, give* 626
a'haiidise train* over all part* ofj
the Northwestern Kail way in the twen
ty-four hour*."
Each net ton, a* *howu by the cotn
pany'* statement, produce* la. Md.,
•'which at 2}d. j*er ton per mile, make*
the average distance traversed by each ]
ton to be about thirty-eight mile*; sol
that each ton of the total weight hauled
run* thirty-eight mile*, and the entire
length of line worked is 1,432 mile*.
It follows that there must he an aver*
age of thirty-seven merchandise train*;
distributed over the total length '
This nuiub r divided into the total
number of traiu* per day of twenty
four hour* gives an average of over
•eventeen train* tier day running on
each mile of the line My object in
bringing the figure* to thi* point i* to
show that although at first light the
uutnbcr (626 tram* per day"* look*
large, yet when divided over the entire
line it is comparatively small.
"Having arrived at this conclusion,'
we are in a |>o*ition tosee how it would
afreet the question If the gauge of the:
line were three feet instead of four 1
feel tight and a half inches. In the
firt place, the same or a greater speed j
could he runiutaiued, say up to thirty
five or forty mile* an hour I mention l
the*petd here because I am dealing;
with goods train* only. Mr argument
it only intended to show what a three-'
foot gauge i* cajiahlc of accomplishing
iu the way of dtifjf up to a speed of!
forty tuile* au hour; a speed which on
such a gauge can only he obtained by
the employment of the double bogie
engine*.*"
We may here, en jnuvant, observe
that the adoption of the very narrow
gauge*, varying from 1 fool 111 inches
to 3 feet 0 inches, ha* tendered it ueccs
farv to make some important modifi
cation- and improvements in the loco
motive engine* used on theni. 3VJr.
Fairlic ha* beep mainly instrumental
iu making these valuable improve
menu, a compauy has for some time
been engaged in their mnnufheture in
Ixmdon, so that we shall at ouce reap
the advantages of nil Mr. Fairlie'*
scientific skill aud labors in the iuilia
tionofthe three-foot gauge into Ameri
ca. It ..ill not, therefore, be needful
to say more on the subject of th new
engines, or at least at the present
timn,
We proceed to quote Mr. Fairlie's
line of argument, comparing the two
gauges: "The speeds in each case
I cing therefore equal, the next point
to examine is the result of the carry
ing on the narrow gauge. The pro-,
fwrlioi) of uou-paying to paying load,
las been taken at four to one on the
broad (.4.6}) gauges, although it hn
proved largely in excess of this. The
wagons employed average four ton* in
weight, so that on this reckouing each
wagon carries one ton for every mile it
runs. It would be well to remember
that I am here dealing wills things a*
they nre, not as they might be.
"The wagons for a three-foot .gauge
weigh each ono ton and carry a maxi
mum load of three tons. Supposing
that the same number of wagons and
train* wore run on the narrow gauge
as ou the broad, it follows that the
average ono ton of merchandise now
carried would easily be takeu in a
wagon weighing one ton, instead of
four tons, and that the gross load pas
sing over the lino would he twenty
million* of ton* instead of fifty mil
lions, whilst the same amount of pay
ing weight would he carried in either
case. That ia, the small wagons,
which are capable of carrying three
limes their weight of goods now actu
ally carried in a four-ton wa£on, would
only have to carry one-third of that
quantity, and would produce the same
paying load a* the heavier wagon*.
Thus, instead 0f.50,000,000 tons travel
ling over the line, there would only
be 20,000.000, and as the haulage cost
is precisely the same whether the ton*
hauled consist of paying or tun-pay
ing load, it follows that this expense
would he reduced to two-fiflhs of what
it is. We must nlso consider the enor
mous saving to the permanent way,
which would have to War the friction
and weight of only 20,000,000 tons
iinstead 0f50,000.000. If we assume
the same number of trains to be run
per day the weight of each would be
reduced from 255 tons to 102 tons; or,
if the same gross weight of train was
employed, the number of trains per
<lay would he reduced from 626 250.
If there should he sufficient traffic to
load the narrow gauge wagons in *ueh
away as to require tho same number
and weight of trains that arc now
worked, the result would he that, with
out increasing by one penuy tho cost
of haulage and of tho permanent way
expenses, the three-foot gauge would
carry a paying load of 25,000.000 as
against 10^000,000 n<4- carried. Here,
then, we have established the fact that
so far as capacity goes the narrow
i gauge is superior to the broad gauge.
Mr. Fair lie has thus demonstrated
| by the *cience of figures, applied to
the result of experience, the triumphant
| position which the three-foot gauge is
destiued to occupy iu the railway oys-
tein of the world. That the same
reasoning will apply with equal or
greater force to the adaption of the
narrow gauge tothi* country, and its
comparison with our present trunk
lines, will hardly be denied. I#etanv
oue capable or comprehending thfsj
forcible demonstration say whether we
arc over sanguine in predicting that
within ten year* we shall witness a
complete narrow (three foot) gauge
srstcrn of railways, sending out iu nil
ifirec-lions from our great centres of
i industry ami commerce trunk line*,
which will rapidly iu turn send out
I innumerable branches, until the rail
way, which is a very excellent school
master, shall literally he brought to
every man's door, or near it. Mr.
! Fair lie compares the present broad
-gauge lines oft the world to employing
a gallon measure to bring home a pint
of water. Hut we have made such free
use of this able gentleman's brains that
we shall only quote one or two more
ptt'wage# from his lecture. He says,
and italicize* his words, that: "It ought
to be engraved on the miud of every
engineer that every inch added to the
\ridth of u tfauije beyond what is abso
lutely necessary for the* tartfic adds to
the cost of construction, increase* the
proportion of dead weight, increase*
the cost of working, and, iu conse
quence, increases the tariff* to the
public, and by so touch reduces the
useful effect of the railway."
Mr. Fairlie'* investigations and ex
perience have demonstrated that the
cost of con struct i tig a railway is, a#
nearly as possible, as the width of the
gauge, and he claims, from the illus
trations we hare quoted, that even if
jibe three-foot gauge cost twice as
much as a five foot-six-inch-gauge line.
I instead of only a little over half as
much, the narrower gauge would be
altogether the most profitable. Ho
much is saved in the cost of mainte
nance, rolling slock, and the haulage
| if dead and useless weight. We might
accumulate column# of evidence simi
lar to that quoted from Mr. Fairlie'*
lectures, and articles upon the numer
ous narrow-gauge lines which have
lately sprung up on the Continent oi
Kuropc, as well as iu the other parts
I of Wales, hut there is not tho slightest
{necessity for doing so.
! OIKFICTLTIM OPPOSED TO THE NEW
XABBOW OA COB.
These consist iu a great measure of
the supposed interests and prejudices
of the managers and engineers of our
great lines of existing railways. The
former will do nothing to encourage
the construction of branches or con
necting railways unless they are of
the same gauge as the lines they con
trol, and every petty project to con
nect half a dozen towns and village*!
located iu aud through a tract of
country as yet unprovided with rail
way accommodation puts iu a claim
that it is to shorten the distance by t
half a dozen mile* to some more im
portant centre of traflic farther South
or West. Hence its advocates as
sume that it must be of the same
gauge as the C mnecting lines, and '
ibey will risk a delay of years and ° r
ycam in securing the construction of
their pet scheme by reason of the ex- •
tra cost am) greater difficulty of rait- L
ing 112,000 a mile. There are lines
in this country and in Canada on
