The Franklin glee club gave its enter tainment , Tuesday evening , in the Con gregational church , before a well-filled house , notwithstanding the rainy , in clement weather. With the exception of two or three meritorious numbers , the entertainment was rather "plunky , " and a disappointment. The club is poorly balanced being weak on the tenor end and badly "listed" to the basso side. Perhaps the most vulnerable point in the entertainment was the excess of "fun. " It spoiled the taste of the music which was fairly creditable and enjoyable. Prof. Aller's base solo , Miss Stevens' piano solo and at least one club effort were creditable. Hesterwerth-Schmitz. Tuesday morning at ten o'clock in the solemn and impressive service of the Catholic church at St. Patrick's , Rev. J. W.Hickey united John Hesterwerth and Philomena Schmitz in marriage. The young couple are among our excellent and sterling young people , and they go to house-keeping on W. S. Fitch's farm with the best wishes of many warm friends. Death of Ben Mills. Benjamin D.

I A new style of locomotive , to be known is the "Atlantic type , " is being experi mented with by the Chicago , Rock Is- li and & Pacific road. One of the features ) f the engine is a device whereby almost he entire weight of the locomotive , in- : luding the tender , may be thrown di- a ectly over the driving wheels when iteep grades are to be covered. "Trac- ion increaser" is the name given the nechaiiisrn used in shifting the weight. Phe machinery for doing this is air cyl- nders placed over what are known as 'idler" wheels , directly under the cab. h [ "he removal of a portion of the weight ' rom the idlers allows the back of the tl ngine to sink down and thereby trans- ers it to the drivers. Engineers have ) renounced the new device one of the > est inventions added to locomotives in 'ears. It enables trains to climb heavy grades easily and in long trains renders mnecessary the work of a helping en- jine at the rear of trains. But hill- : limbing is not the only feature of the veight changer. In starting a train from i station or on level track it demon- itrates its usefulness equally as well. It ibviates the use of sand and assists an ingine to "keep on her feet. " One of hese new engines on the Rock Island ecently made a record-breaking run vith a "train of seven cars. The 182 uiles between Davenport and Chicago vas covered in three hours and twenty ninutes. The first 119 miles were run n 122 minutes , including two stops , si inhere were several bursts of speed , in phich a rate of eighty-five miles per tour was attained. M. E.
