Fast Time in Carroll County.

The new Brooks engines on the Monon are developing remarkable speed. Engine 111 still holds the record, it hauling four vestibuled cars several miles at a speed of a mile in forty-seven seconds, but epgine 112 is now crowding the former hauling the same-sized train from Ockley to Deer Creek,, seven and two-tenths miles, in five minutes. Either of these engines will run a mile a minute on any part of the road without the least seeming exertion. Engineers of both claim that neither of the locomotives has yet been run to its highest speed capacity.—-Delphi Journal.
