F SS! se “THE JOHN BULL” “JOHN BULL” BACK. The Original Locomotive and Its Primitive Cars. TTS JOURNEY FROM CHICAGO. A Delegation of Scientists and Newspaper Men Aboard. IN THE MUSEUM AGAIN. The celebrated locomotive “John Bull,” with its train of primitive cars, will pull into the 6th and B streets station of the Pennsylvania railroad under steam before this reaches The Star’s readers. The hour of the expected arrival is 3:30 o'clock. The two cars bring a delegation of scientific and newspaper men and a large assemblage of people were awaiting the arrival on the plat- forms of the station this afternoon. The train left Chicago on Wednesday, Decem- ber 6, one week ago, making “daylight” trips over the “Panhandle” route to Pitts- burg, over the main line of the Pennsyl- vania road to Harrisburg and over the Northern Central to this city. After re- maining on exhibition at the 6th street sta- tion for a few days it will be again de- posited in the United States National Mu- seum, from which the Pennsylvania Raill- road Company reclaimed it in the spring, for the purpose of exhibiting it at ad world’s fair, it having been deposited in the museum by that company since 1883. The career of “John Bull” at the fair was crowned with as much success as in the old days gf active service, and those who were instrumental in exhibiting it feel that it wat one of the wonders of the exposition. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad exhibit con- tainéd several old veteran locomotives, such as the “Sampson,” “Peppersauce’”’ and the old “Camel Back;” the New York Central exhibited a full-sized model of the “De Witt Clinton” and train; the Old Colony showed | the “Daniel Nason” and the Illinois Centra) | the old “Pioneer,” the first locomotive to} i | the last days of August. Previous to that time the cars upon the Camden and Amboy railroad were hauled by horses, and it is rather a peculiar circumstance that this iron horse was called by the early employes “The John Bull,” and although afterward listed as “Number One” upon the books of the company its English ancestry has since been perpetuated. The above cut is taken from the original working drawings, furnished to Mr. J. Elfreth Watkins, curator of the sec- tion of transportation and engineering in the U. 8. National Museum, by Mr. a hort time before his death. It is the only | authentic illustration in existence which shows the original construction of the loco- motive “John Bull” when it arrived in America. These drawings were accom-| panied by memoranda from Mr. Dripps, which show that the engine weighed, wit! out fuel or water, a trifle over ten tons. The boiler, which was only thirty inches in di- ameter, was thirteen feet long; it furnished steam for the little inside cylinders, only nine inches in diameter and twenty inches stroke. The four 54-inch driving wheels were mainly of wood, having locust spokes ; and felloes and an iron hub. A pair of the! original wheels was exhibited alongside of | the engine. They closely resemble the mod- ern cart-wheel with a flanged tire added. The Original Train. Crank pins were placed on the outside of each of the wheels, in order that parallel rods could be attached, but owing to the sharp curves in the road, these rods could never be used. It is interesting to note that the gauge, which was five feet from center to center of tire, established the standard of four feet nine inches between rails which has since survived. The furnace was con structed for burning wood, which was then plentiful in New Jersey. Thosé¢ readers of ‘The Star who saw this locomotive at work must have noticed how complex the mech- anism was constructed. Many engineers who today. handle monster locomotives upon our best railroads were puzzled at the strange complication of levers, handles and hook-rods required to govern the move- ments of this strange machine, and express- | | ed to the writer their admiration for the old veterans, who with the little experience were required to master these peculiar de- tails. After the valves are in gear and the! engine in motion two levers on the engine- | man’s side move back and forth continuous- ly. When the engineer desired to bring the locomotive to a standstill, he worked these levers back and forth with his own hands, | terior to the congregation tonight, and 1s 2 “John; @nd so much skill did he acquire that he! be opti so far west as Chicago, but “John |i ecame able to stop the train at the exact ull’ was the only engine which was in 4) point desired.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1893—TWELVE PAGE A DECISION REACHED By the Building Committee of the E Street Baptist Church. PLANS OF THE PROPOSED CHURCH To Be Considered at a Meeting of the Congregation This Evening. ey THE EDIFICE DESCRIBED. Tonight will be a momentous occasion for the members of the E Street Baptist Church, corner of 6th and E streets north- west. It is the date of the annual meeting of the church society, and for that reason | alone it is a time when many interesting | matters are likely to come up. But this; year everything else is lost sight of, and all the interest centers in one matter—the report of the building committee for the new church building. For a number of years the congregation have talked of rebuilding. They own a val- uable and large-sized lot, which is 100 feet square, and which cost $30,000, on the north- west corner of 10th and N streets north- west, and as their present structure has been for some time inadequate to their needs it was deemed advisable to make a change. Definite action was taken in the matter during last year, when at their an- nual meeting on December 14, 18¥2, a build- ing committee was appointed to take the matter in hand and arrange for the work. This committee, consisting of the repre- sentative men of the church, have had sub- mitted to them and have carefully examin- ed designs sent in from leading architects all over the country, from which they have finally made a selection, which can hardly be otherwise than favorably received by the church. The work and decision of the committee will be fully explained with plans and a water color drawing of the ex- now for the first time made public. Novel in Design. The new church, if the pian submitted by | the committee be accepted, will be unlike anything else in the city. It is novel in, both exterior and interior design, and has | more the appearance of a museum or gov- | ernment building than of a church. Its ef-/ fect will also be more classic than ihe | church buildings in the city, and the whole | will be a most beautiful and w@lcome adorn- | ment to the architecture of the capital. ‘The proposed church edifice, which will| combine in a way the classic and Roman- esque elements, will be of white sandstone, hewn rough. On the lth street side, where the main entrance will be, a square, stately tower, ninety-five teet high, will rise up- ward. The building, adapting itself to the shape of the lot, will be square, with the auditorium and Sunday school room both on the ground Moor, and having two smaller entrances, one on N street and another, be- sides the maim entrance, on lWth street. ‘The auditorium will be amphitheatrical in | form, with the seats gently rising to the N | treet side, and the Sunday school room, which is separated by sliding panels, may, | at the time of conventions or large congre- gations, be used in connection with the au- ditorium, the pulpit being so situated be- tween the two that the speaker can be seen from all points in both rooms, and is not more than seventy feet distant from any part. There will be a ladies’ parlor on the corner, an infant class adjoining the Sun- day school room, a baptistry, with com- modious dressing rocms, and a choir ioft above the back of the pulpit. The seating capacity of the auditorium is about 1,025, including the gallery, and of the Sunday school room, which also has a gallery, about 450, giving @ total of nearly 1,500. ‘The au- ditorium is 6 by 75 feet and the Sunday hool room is 48 by W feet. In the tower is the pastor's study, and the basement con- tains a dining room and a us, well- lighted reading room. The building will be | electric lighted and thoroughly heated and ventilated. The interior will be in oak in- ished with hard oll and the roof will be cov- | ered with tlle or slate. The architect of the | proposed structure is E. N. Lamm of Chat- tanooga, Tenn., and the estimated cost 000. The Building Committee.
