New York, Oct 3.-The first of the New York Tunnel Extension of the Pennsylvania railroad arrived at Long Island City yesterday. It was brought

to New York from the Pennsylvania pajr 0f wheels.

xvanroaa s a noon a enops ror tne purpose of making tests over the electrified lines of the Long Island railroad.

When work was first started on the : locomotives.

Pennsylvania Tunnels and Station the engineers of the railroad company, cooperating with those of the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing company, took up the problem of designing an electric locomotive which would cope successfully with the heavy grades necessary in the river tunnel3. Since then, electric locomotives have been designed, constructed, and tested

t and special recording track sections

have been laid and electrified. Muc.'i electrical apparatus has been built, and voluminous reports and records were compiled before the completion of No ;K8. the first "Pennsylvania" type of electric locomotive to be finished, and the one which was given its first test yesterday fternoon on the Long Island railroad.

levers are duplicated in each section, so the operative simply chages ends. Two pairs of drive wheels are cou

and pistons, but to a crank shaft, call- j ed a jack shaft, in line with the driver . ' axles, which in turn is coupled to a mo j tor crank shaft, to which a single mo-j j tor delivers all its power. The crank !

tor crank revolves uniformly and at constant effort, differing therein from

on the connecting pins and rods vary throughout each revolution, the turning effort of the drive wheels is the same as for the motor, constant throughout each revolution. Distinctive from steam practice, all

rods and moving parts have pure iotation only .and are thus counterbalanced for all speeds, thereby delivering no more shock to the track and roadbed than a passenger car of equal weight. The motor and massive side frames, jack shaft and all other gear, are spring supported from the driver and truck wheels, so that there is no track

stress other than that local to a single

PLANTS WERE NAMED

"George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Admiral Dewey, President Taft, Theodore Roosevelt, Teddy," and a host of other names were given to shrubs, trees, flowers and other plants, planted yesterday by the school children in the different district schools of the county, in celebra-

day. Every national character who In any way is revered by the school children was remembered by having his name given to the plants. In a

few instances where the planting was not extensive the children christened the few plants with a list of names sufficient to make a yard in length. Arbor Day was appropriately celebrated by short exercises, including musical numbers and recitations.

The Bed-Rock Of Success lies in a keen, clear brain, hacked by indomitable will and resistless energy. Such power comes from the splendid health that Dr. King's New Life Pills impart. They vitalize every organ and build up brain and body. J. A. Harmon, Lizemore, W. Va.. writes: "They are the best pills I ever used." 25c at A. G. Luken & Co.

FRAUD IS CLAIMED

(American News Service) Washington, Oct. 30. The post office

department has issued a fraud order against the Amsterdam Diamond company of Buffalo. N. Y., excluding them from the use of the mails. Numerous complaints led to a ninvestigation, which revealed certain methods whicn were not approved of by the department.

AGED PYTHIAN DEAD

(American News Service) Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 30. Dr. R. C. White, for 22 years the Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal of the Knights of Pythias died here today, aged sixty-five years. He had been sick but five weeks.

Wonderful Horsepower. Number 3J!)S weighs 330.000 ponds. It will develop 4,000 horsepower about three times as much as a giant freight locomotive and could pull a heavy freight train at a speed of some io or TO miles per hour. In appearance, it is similar to two passenger coaches, with huge driving wheels and

rods. On each side of the steel cab

ins are ten square windows, while at

the ends there are oblong windows

similar in appearance to steamship

port holes. The cabins conceal the

giant motors with which the drivirfg rods connect, but a view of the chassis gives an excellent idea of the intricacy of the machines which are soon to haul some 1,000 trains in and out of New

York station every day.

The first twenty-four electric locomo

tives to be built for service in the New

York tunnels will be assembled at Altoona. Pa., where the railroad compa

ny's shops are located. The electric apparatus is to be built at the East

Pittsburg shops of the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing company,

while the mechanical features will b.? made in the railroad's locomotive shops. The "Pennsylvania" type locomotive is built in two sections; that is, ther? are two cabs and two running gears, jointed at the middle. Each section has eight wheels, four of which are drivers, 8 inches in diameter, the other four being truck wheels 30 inches in diameter, constituting in their arrangement and weight distribution what in steam locomotives is called the "American" type. Back to Back. The sections are permanently coupled back to back by a distinctive arrangement of Westinghouse friction draft gear and levers, so that the leading section effectually pilots the rear one This obviates all necessity of turning the engine, as it runs equally well in

The Earlier Type. Earlier types of electric locomotive3 do not possess these features, the purpose of which is to utilize on the drive

wheels directly the naturally continuous rotation of the electric motor. Of

these there have been several examples.

one a type with small drive wheels to scure an admirable electrical condition, others with spring supported motors

influenced by mechanical condition.

both of which were classed high-speed types; and then for the lower speeds, influenced by both electrical and me

chanical conditions, the geared type,

similar, but larger than the common trolley motors.

A decided improvement in the "Pennsylvania" type is the use of i

single niotor for two pairs of drivers

and the benefits secured by its position. The motor is located high up from the roadbed, secure from snow.

dirt and water, and space limitation) are largely removed. In its design it

possesses electrical features never before secured on an electric locomotive.

The single motor weighs, without gear. !.". Xx pounds, and in weight and

power it is the largest railway motor ever constructed. It projects Into the cab and, in fact, fills a large part

of it. The main control apparatus is in

bulkhead sort of an arrangement centrally located so that there are amplo passage ways along the sides. At one end is located the electrically driv

en air compressor for operating the air

brakes.

High-Speed Brake. In the operating end of the. locomotive there is a Westinghouse brake valve for high-speed brake operation.

and also an engineer's and controller, by which all electrical manipulation is secured. These correspond to the throttle and reverse lever on a stam locomotive. The controller on the "Pennsylvania"

tvne is scarcely as large as that on a

Hoe printing press. None of the main power passes through it, as it is really a switch, corresponding to a tlepgrapher's key, operated by electro-pneumatic means. With a lever which can be moved with one finger, the engineer can admit to the locomotive a current equal to that available in a hundred trolley cars. The electric supply will be secured from an electric conductor, or third rail, by four contact shoes on each locomotive. At some points where the great number of track switches will not permit this, power will be secured from an overhead conductor through an air-operated overhed contact shoe of which there are two on each locomotive. Steel Construction. The new locomotive is of steel construction throughout, and each section has the usual bell, sand box, and whistle. The latter is blown by air. The first twenty-four "Pennsylvania" type electric locomotives to ba built will have the following dimensions: Total weight, 10 tons. Weight of electrll parts, 62 tons. Weight of mechanical parts, 103 tons. Total horse power, 4.000. Maximum draw bar pull, 60,000 pounds. Maximum speed, 00 to TO miles per hour, under load. Diameter of drive wheels, 68 inches. Diameter of truck wheels, 36 inches. Weight on drivers, 14 tons. Mechanical shock without injury, 000,000 pounds. Length over all, 6." feet Total wheel base, 56 feet.

THREAD-BARE TALE

Alleging that his ankle was sore an 1 that he used the whiskey to rub on it. Joe Jones, an old offender, and well known in police circles, entered a pica of not guilty in the city court this afternoon to the charge of public intoxication, that had been placed against him. Jones was arrested yesterday afternoon, dead to the world, it is said. An almost empty half pint bottle of whiskey was found on him. but Jones claimed that he had only used it for the rheumatism in his, ankle. Judge Converse, however, thought the rheumatism was in the man's throat, and assessed a fine of $5 and costs against him.
