Loyalty in England.
A British journal tells a queer story connected with the Queen’s Jubilee, A Londoner was reproaching the owner of a house on the route of the great procession with having let It for the day to a citizen of the United States. “It is disgraceful!” he said, indignantly. “The Queen graciously offers to show herself to a certain number of her London subjects, and they promptly let their windows and go to another part of the town. It Is disloyal!” “Disloyal!” replied the house-letter. “Just the contrary. We do It for the purpose of having as many portraits of our sovereign as possible—and all in gold.” The last of the bunch of fifteen 21x20 Inch Consolidation locomotives built by the Pittsburg Locomotive Works for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad have been delivered and are in service on the Second Division between Brunswick and Cumberland. These locomotives excite very favorable comment by reason of their gen--eral design, excellent workmanship and efficient service and are further evidence of the great advance that is being made by the B. &O. in its motive power. Thir-ty-five (35) of this type of locomotives have been placed on the Second Division during the past year, and with the reduction in grades and in the increase in power the number of cars per train has been increased fully 40 per cent.
