For some time p 1st the New York Central railroad company have had a great deal of trouble with.such heavy passenger trains as the Second Atlantic, St. Louis, and the New York mail. They have been oblig ed to :pni on “ double headers,” and even with these the tiains have been much delayed. To obviate this difficulty the Scbetiecta iy loco motive works have just completed a powerlul locomove which is design ed to accomplish tbe work of the two. The locomo'ive now finished is called the William H Vanderbilt ■She is an elegant eight wheeler, with driving wheels six and a half feet, ihirty-iiiree inch truck wheels, fifty inch boiler and cy linders eigh teen by twenty-tout niches and is furnished with the Westinghouse air brakes and the new spark arrester, somewhat improved. This locomotive was an experiment and upon her success much de pended. In the event of success three or four others of the same model were to be built at once in the Schenectady shops. It is claimed that this locomotive can dra-w twen ty loaded coaches which certainly would be a vast improvemenl, as the old model engines have bad trouble with sixteen, even when two engines were drawing the train. The Vanderbilt arrived on her first trip at 1:15 to-dvty on time. She bad a heavy train, but got through with ease. Colonel Reuben Allen, the veteran engineer, wh 1 has charge o' the new engine, sais that she works to scharm aon he seems de cidedly pr >ud oi her as lie has a right to be, for she is a perfect beauty. — Syracuse Herald .

As to the manner in which Nihi lists are treated in prison the follow ing case may serve as an example: L. HE. was arrested for a small press offence in November! He was placed in a cell so small thut it was almost impossible to stand upright in 11, while walking was out of the question. The window was broken, and the stoveless dungeon soon filled with snow and ice. L.

The mother of her self supplied her son with prussic ^cid “ in case he should be ques tioned.” In the case of Solovieff, one Trapp publicly boaned “ he would soon make tbe prisoner speak in all tongues,” a boast which he would undoubtedly have tried to execute but for the threats of the Nihilist Committee, who so effec tively intimidated the prison author ities that Solovieff was “ only hang ed.” “ We willingly risk our lives,\ a Russian exile said to me lately, “we die gladly m our cause; the only thing we do fear is the torture, Most of us carry poison; but this is now so well known that doctors are always in attendance to administer antidotes at the first sign of poison having been taken ” The Red Boot triumphant.

Woodward, cashier of the Treasury Department of Boston, is alleged to be a defaulter in the amount of $8*,000. Woodward’s first dereliction was in 1876, less than a year after his appointment, when he drew a check on the sink ing tund for $13,000. This he re stored a week later. In 1877 he drew a check for $25,000, having covered his tracks by means of trans fers from one account to another. At various times thereafter he cover ed deficiencies of #15,000, $20,000 and $22,000. There were also de ficiencies of a lew hundred dollars in petty accounts The sinking funds do not lose a dollar. It is evident that the cash of the city ac count was taken by Woodward, and the hole made is covered up by checks on the sinking funds. A searching investigation will be had. Woodward has disappeared. He is 30 years of age and stood well so cially, He was n6t known to be a speculator nor extravagant and is supposed to be a bachelor, but since the discovery o i- the crime Amy Knowlton told his mother that she married him two years ago. jvm rs ox' r a n mvjg m s oitn<* oi>.
