Quartermaster's Department Looking Ahead to the Winter Teeds. This Is the time of year when the quarter-master's department begins to prepare for winter, and, therefore, although some of the troops are still in need of buff duck uniforms khaki, they are officially termed the subject of overcoats and the like la already being discussed. this year are based upon a much larger scale than ever before since the -civil war, there being now over 200,000 men in the Bold. Humor had It that the estimates have been based upon supplying twice that many nieu with uniforms next winter, but Colonel Furey, the United States quartermaster here, says that Is news to him. Of course, in either case It does not mean that many overcoats must be made, as the regulars and the members of the National Guard who became volunteer on the first call are nearly all pretty well supplied with them.

But new uniforms will probably be needed by all the men In the field, and It Is evidently the intention of the war officials to provide against the probability of a longer campaign than now sewms necessary. Not until the Immediate needs of the army are supplied will the work of making winter clothes be actually begun, however. At present at the Schuylkill Arsenal the principal energies are directed toward the making of Mrs. MacLochlan Tells of tho First Run Over the New Middle Division. The first engine to run over what is now known as the Middle Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad was run September 1, 1840, by James MacLochlan.

It was a trial trip made by the officials to test the safety of the road. The trip was from the Cove, a place near Rochville, In Perry county, to Harrlsburg, a distance of about seventy-seven miles. The train consisted of a single passenger car, In which were carried J. Edgar Thompson, the superintendent of construction; William B. Foster, the chief engineer, and his staff; Strickland Kneass and Thomas Wiermau, of Philadelphia, and a few invited friends and other officials of the road, which was then in Its Infancy.

Mr. MacLochlan had been selected as engineer to run the train because of his well-known carefulness and mechanical skill. The incomplete condition of the road rendered the engineer's work much more difficult and dangerous than can he realized by present conditions. The trip was accomplished without any accident. The engine drew the train triumphantly Into the old station at Harrlsburg In time for supper, and MacLochlan received the hearty congratulations of the officials, some of whom bad made the trip rather dubiously.

The train had to stop about every twenty miles for wood and water, for It was before the use of coal had been applied to engines, and the firing of ail engine with wood was uo easy Job, and at the beginning there was some delay about getting wood enough properly prepared. Mr. MacLochlan and his brother owned a wood-sawing machine, located at the Cove, whicli a number of times was worked night and day in order that there might be no delay caused by Insufficient supply for the train. MRS. SUSAN JONES MACLOCHLAN This Is one of many Interesting stories told by Mrs.

Susan Jones MacLochlan. the widow of the veteran engineer, who now resides with a daughter at AA'estniinster avenue. West Philadelphia. She divides her time between reminiscences of her past eventful life and the making of beautiful silk patchwork and embroidery, In the latter work of which she Is a positive genius. Her husband died December 1.

IrtTti, and up to his last days used to dwell with fond pride upon his engineering exploits, particularly the running of the first train. Her memory is something marvelous for a woman of her age, ami the readiness with which she culls up past events for the amusement of her hearers make her a very pleasant companion. She has an old with a complete family record, to which she refers to corroborate dates in her statements. It was through her that the first United States gold was sent to Tasmania. Her cousin Mrs.

GARMAN'S PLANS OF CAMPAIGN Notification Gathering at Bedford Springs to te Followed ty Active Work for Jenks. Quite a flurry was caused among the few politicians who had not taken advantage of the Saturday holiday to go out of town yesterday when it was learned that Dr. S.

C. Swallow, the candidate of the Prohibition and Honest Government parties for Governor, had a conference with Ex-Postmaster General John Wanamaker In the latter's office. The meeting between the Harrlsburg clergyman and Mr. Wanamaker was arranged beforehand. Dr.

Discussed the State Campaign.

Chairman Jones did not participate In the conference, which lasted over an hour. He waited for Dr. Swallow at the Prohibition headquarters. In reply to questions on the subject, the chairman would say nothing, except that he supposed the visit whs just a social one. Later In the day Dr.

Swallow was seen, and he frankly admitted that he had conversed witht Mr. Wanamaker on matters pertaining to liic present political campaign In the State. "Our talk was very Informal," aid Dr. Swallow, "but it was a very pleasant chat, and extended through an hour and a half. The conversation was entirely devoted to the important work of the present campaign.

Being of a purely confidential character, 1 cannot tell you Its drift, but I will say that It did not reach any conclusions. I would not hesitate to talk, but I Ijnow a statement coming from me would be looked upon as a betrayal of confidence. I enjoy Mr. Wanamaker's confidence, I think, and consequently do not care to shake it."
