Best 1'InccH For the Busluesn Home of the Trials of.tho Curb- Htnno Vendors , To thousands of Now Yorkers the cor ner fruit stand and its proprietor are a frequent cause of speculation and won der. How a man can manage to supuort < Jbim.solf and , as is generally the case , a family besides , out of tlio prolit arising from tlio safe , of a few apples , oranges , bimtnas , tigs or grnpcs in the course of the day puzzles many a thoughtful .observers. Yet this is done ty between 5,000 and 0,000 Bidowallc merchants in this city Some of them do even more. Strange as It may seem , there are a few dealers who Imvo grown rich out of this business , and the number who are in comfortable eir- ' .cmnstanecs is by no means so small us might bo supposed. An intelligent old Italian , \vhoso years of dealing with llroadway' merchants and clerks have giveh him a comfortable balance in a savings bank and a fair knowledge of the Kngllsh language , was discussing his bus iness the other evening witii one of his regular patrons. 'How ' is business ? " ho said , repenting ids customer's inquiry. " 1'oor , poor , my friend , very poor. This is the worst time of the fruit trade. All kinds now in the market are dear , and people look upon them as unseasonable. This is true in a measure , but they would soli all the same if the prices wcro not so high. Ah , thc.so are hard times. I won't make over $ -15 this month. " * "What do you consider an average nionth'.s earnings ? " asked the buyer. "Oh , $75 to ? 100. I often make ( hat much right along when the fruit season begins and frequently much more , lint tlion 1 haven't the best place for business "by any means. Where are the boat loca tions ? Down by the ferries ; Fulton , Chambers , Cortlamlt , Wall and Liberty streets. These are the places where the fruit men make money. People going out of town nnd business men starting for their country homes generally buy baskets of fruit in preference to any thing else , and there is a big prolit in niltting up goods in this way. " * ' " 1)1) fruit dealers as a rule pay rent for their stands ? " "No , 1 think not , unless they are in a particularly line location , A good deal depends upon the owner or lessee of the property , if he is a generous sort of n follow he'll charge nothing , while others will impose some tax , no matter how small. The stands along the curbstones pay no rent , of course , as that part of the .sidewalk belongs to the corporation. These squatters , however , are liable to be moved at any timo. Trucks nro con tinually backing on the sidewalk , and , ihe ponce sometimes insist on keeping tlio walk clear just out of pure cranki ness. The police , by the way.Jglvo a good deai of trouble to us. They help thorn- solves to fruit , and of course wo let them linvo it to keep 'solid * with them , Unit it don't do much good. Let n drunken gnrfg of Irish loafers came along and upset a stand , nnd ton to one the police will Jet them go or keep out of the way until the row is over and the erowd dispersed. Yes , mir * Is a risky business , and a haul ono , 3.QO , Fruit spoils quickly. Wo have to wdl in the smallest quantities and along the lines of travel , such as the electrical road , the stands nro kept open all night , just to catch a few cents' worth of trade from late passengers. Then wo have to be careful about offprint' decayed stock for sale as the health oliieera are more alert thnn formerly nnd thnv show little mercy to follows like us wlion they can catch us violating the health code. But few dealers , except in the side streets , over attempt to do so , as our customers would not stand it. ' ' 's ASSISTANT. Arrival ( if tlio Miiccossor ofH. U. Uush n < i Signal Assistant , C.

Mr. Oft drove to the ruining street jail and reported the man's sickness. Ho was at once removed to the jail ami died in a few minutes tlicreattor. I'liu coroner was sumniono'l and took chanrc of the reiuuitiH. From papers on his person his identity was established ns Josef Klaus , a native of Switzer land. llo was a man about thirty years of nge , well dressed in a suit of black. Mr. Oft said that the deceased had been employed on the farm of Wil liam Lugerman , sixteen miles northwest of Omana , for about two months. As ho was coining into the city yuatnrdny with n load of oats , ho overtook Klaus , who asked for a rule , and in the course of a conversation afterwards said ho could not stand it to work on a farm , and wns coming to Omaha , whore ho had friends , to look tor a job. Mr. Oft said they stopped several times on the way and had a glass ot beer , nnd it was after drinking the last , about three miles west of the city , that Kl.uis began complaining of being ill , and he hurried up to get him to the city so ho could receive medical at tention. The remains of the unfortunate man wore removed to Droxcl & Maul's under taking establishment and prepared lor the burial which will takoplacq to-day. The deceased had been in this country about three months. When ho first came to Omaha ho boarded nt the Klkhorn Valley house , the proprietor of which idnntificd the remains last night.

There Is a widespread fooling of dis satisfaction among the better class of cit- i/.ons living for a mile outside the city limits soiitu of the city , over the demor alisation which luus grown up thorn in the last two years. Certain parts of it are being overrun with saloons , the pro prietors of which pay nothing for the privilege of selling liquors , which but a few blocks distant , within the limits of the city cost the venders $1,000. These saloons it is claimed , attract vicious characters , who frequently drink to excess and be come embroiled in lights which tlicro is no. power to suppress.

THE ELECTRICAL RAILWAYS , Description of the Process By Which the Porco Is Applied , rrctllclloiiN That All Hallways AVI1I Uo Operated Fly Klcotrlulty Gain ol'l'nwcr nnd Mod * crate Kvpcmic. Kansas City Times : The proposed equipment of East Fifth street with nn electric street railway has aroused public interest in Kansas City on the subject of electric locomotion. For the post llfteoii months the news papers have contained vague notices occasionally of the invention , by a citi/.cu of this city , of a system of clrclrir * loco motion mini ted not only to propelling street cars and other vehicles , but also the moving of canal boaL , bargex , etc. , on waterways. While Mr. Henry's ap plications wcro pending it was necessary to Keep secret the methods and appara tuses comprising his inventions , but as tlio patents have now been granted there is no longer any occasion for .secrecy , and Mr. Henry is willing thnt public curiosity shall bo gratllicd. It must bo premised tlmt Mr. Ilnury makes no claim at this time ( o any In vention of machines for the gcnarntiou or utilizing of electric-motive force in tlio fonns of dyn.-uuos or motors. Those machines in single decade of progress lutvo reached a point much nearer per fection than that attained by the steam engine in a century , and aro. now com mercial products with well defined char acteristics and prices. Mr. Henry's claim is that he has suc ceeded in adapting tins almost inconceiv ably swift revolutions of the motor shaft to the comparatively slow motion re ( quired for the driving shaft of the car with less loss of power and efficiency than any other systems. But the prob lem requires more than a mere reduction of HpcOd. Many other systems have ac complished this. It is required that , while the armature of the motor revolves at a uniform rate of speed , the rale of speed convoyed to the driving shaft shall be variable through a wide range. The suggestion of a well known mechanical principle will explain the necessity. Any ono visiting an iron foundry will find the lathes turning at various rates of speed. "When at is desired to do light work the lathe runs very rapidly ; bin whore heavy work is required the motion .js.'Uowand ponderous. That is but an ins'ilihce of the rule that speed and 'power are intra-convcrllblo ; If great power is required from a given limited source we must dispense with great s'puod ; if great speed 1 $ required wo must dispense With great power. It is this principle that makes J\lr. \ Henry's appli cation of a veritable styled regulator to Street qft'r propulslbif n&'culia.rly "C'ljtuahle. But1 the triumph over this obstaclp..vhlcli ( others had been umVblt' to dvorcoino ) did n6t , according to Mr. Henry's ideas , complete his system of electric locomo tion. Ho observed that all perfect machines dispensed almost entirely with the Interposition of human dtScrctioii and skill in the performance of their functions ; ho observed , moreover , that any heavy weight , while being raised up an inclined piano , stores up enough power in the form of gravity to raise lighted bodies up the same plane on its descent. It is to his credit that he is the first inventor to apply , with any attempt at thoroughness , these observations to the perfection of a svstcin of electric locomotion. After mucli trouble ho s'uc- ccodod in inventing a series of appa ratuses which , actuated by the current entering the car , reduced the labors of the inotlncnr or driver to operating the lover of the speed regulator. This in vention , together with another device for connecting the motor up as a dynamo , also enabled cars descending grades to help others ascending. The system thus completed may be said to consist of three parts : (1) ( ) The moans provided for con ducting the electricity from the dynamo to the car , (3) ( ) the automatic device' inter posed between the contact carriage and tin ; motor , (8) ( ) the transfer of the power from the motor to the driving shaft of the car. The conductors used by Mr. Henry are ( preferably ) copper wires three-tenths of an inch in thickness. Two of these wires are used for each track , ono to carry the electricity from the dynamo to the motor , the other to return the current back to the dynamo. The wire's are supported from insulators directly over the track , the insulators being fastened to guy wires stretched across tlio street from poles placed at opposite curbs. This is not the place to discuss the propriety of placing poles and wires in the street , but it may be observed that the objecljons to tele phone , telegraph and electric light wires arc not applicable to thu wires of this system , as they are strung along the cen ter of _ the street and ofl'er no obstruction to firemen , nor do they constitute a nuisance to these who occupy buildings near thorn. The wires are supported at the insulating points by brass cans , which surround the wires and are screwed fast to the insulators. These cars increase the sl/.e of the conductor at the point slightly , but in practice this oilers no ob struction to the passage of thn contact carriage , which 1 wilt now describe. In almost , every other system in existence the contact carriage is simply a metal brush which slides along the conductor on a wheel which rolls along its upper surface , and thus gathers up the electric ity. There are several very grayo objec tions to this mode. In the lirst place , the contact of the brush with thp conductor Is imperfect , and , as it is dillicult to se cure an oven , uniform pressure of the brusn eli the conductor unless the con tact is perfect , the current coming to the motor constantly varies the strength. Wo need no engineer to toll us what the effect of such variation is. Another objection is the constant spark ing of thn brush that is , the current of electricity , in passing from the conductors - tors to the brush , finds places where thn contact is not perfect , and leaps across , forming a minature llash of lightning. Where this occurs there is always de terioration of brush and conductor which calls for constant scrutiny to kt op them in order. Mr. Henry's device consists of a small carriage with four pr more grooved wheels embracing each wire laterally. This carriage is really n double carriage , as ono aide of it is u. > od to conduct the current to tlio motor , and ( ho other return it to the negative wire. The two sides are insulated from each other by wooden connections. From the contact carriage two wires depend Into the car and are attached to the helices of the motor. The wheels of the carriage are held in place on the wires by stout springs which make the contact perfect so perfect that in wires and carriage used on Mr. Henry's experimental lines for over a year tlicro has boon no deterioration at all from sparking. In its passage to the motor from the contact carriage the current encoun ters a series of automatic devices which permit only just enough current to enter as is needed to propel the car. If the car is going down grade with sullieiont momentum to dispen.su with the motor the current is all shut oft' , and u device connects the motor up as a dynamo , while tie | momentum of the car go aer ates u current of electricity in the motor which is sent out on the wire to reinforce the power of the dynamp. Thus the boost of cable Inventors ( hut their system is the only ono where cars descending help other cars ascending a grade is nj longer true. Mr. HenryTa device for reg ulating the speed of the car is a system of sour-searing , of progressive sizes , with sliding shaft operated by a lover which admits of instant shifting , while the car is in motion , to any desired rale of speed. If the car is oh a level track ( he speed can ' e set at eight , ten , twenty , thirty or men1 miles per hour , but when heavy grades must be climbed it may become - come necessary to exchange speed for power , and lu that ease the speed Is Used to suit the grade perhaps nt four , live or si.\ miles per hour. Ilio recipro cal action of the cogs on the driv ing shaft with tiiu cogs on the gearing is secured by resting the angle iron frame , upon which the gearing and motor ride , in such a way that it motion is in one direction only , no matter what the vibra tion of the car mav be. To attain this Mr. Henry rests one end of ( he angle- Iron on the a\le and thn other on the frame of the ear , both eud.t being secured and held so that the only motion of ( he frame is up and down. Now as She cogs on tlie gearing can alter their position as regards the i-ogi of the driving shaft in only one direction , and can only do so in that direction along an inlinltesimal seg ment of a circle , it is obvious their recip rocal action will always remain practically perfect. 1 have not attempted in ( his sketch ( o outer into detailed or technical descrip tions of Mr. Henry's system , but have ' sought to explain it in'n pop.ilnr ami concise way so that nil can understand it. It only remains to say on this topic that there are. many important mimithe loft untouched , iiu'Inding a conduit sys tem and a method of utilizing old iron rail and cables for underground conduc tors. I can not do bettor in closing this paper than to quote the words of Mr. A. F. Up ton in a recent address before the Nation al electric light association : "The ad vantage of electricity over steam for rail way purposes are many and great. In the first place , the bulky locomotive is done away with , as the electro-motor cau bo placed either under the car or on trucks by itself , in either case great wciglit and room being saved. The ma chinery for converting the coal into the power , or rater , extricating the power from the coal , is not portable but sta tionary , and ran bo placed in the most convenient spot. For transmitting the power , in many cases no dilliculty has been experienced in using ono middle rail as tlio conductor. Sometimes it has been found that the dirt sticking to the rails and wheels formed a sort of crust , so insulating us to prevent adequate com munication. From all the information 1 can gain on this .subject , it is my opinion that the most practical wav will bo to usi ! wires on . ) oles. The poles can also bo made available for stringing electric wires for both incandescent and arc lighting. The future of this system is lilled with possibilities. It will eventually become the motive power of all the present hor.se railroads. In a few years elevated electric railroads will bo as plenty ns steam railroads arc now , and in time will supersede the pres ent svfetcin of running locomotives on all railroads. And why not ? It is simply a , question of cost of making power. It is acknowledged by every practical en gineer that the present system of making steam in locomotive boilers is expensive as well as wasteful. The evaporation of pounds of water to each pound of coal consumed to make steam in locomotive boilers does not average over throe and one-half pounds , of water , using the best grades of bituminous coal.whilo with sta tionary boilers set to burn coal screen ing : for fuel , an evaporation of nine pounds of water to the pound of fuel is made and the reduction in cost of fuel is from one-third to ono one-half. It is only a question of lime when all the dif- fcroht electric lighting station in lliia country will use their engines in the. day time to make power to be sold for manu facturing purposes , the same as as they sell po fer in the form of electric lights now. They can also furnish power to run electric railways , elovatedor surface. Tlio economy of this system over the cost of running horses' , as used now , will bo over fifty per cent. As to speed , it is impossible to give the limit which can bo reached on electric railways , because those so far constructed arc on streets erin in localities where very rapid transit is not possible or desirable. On the Berlin railway , opened in 1831 , the greatest speed reached was eighteen miles per hour. More was possible , but tlio police authorities refuse1 ! to permit more than nine miles per hour. Up to August , 1882 , there had been no break down on this road. On the Siemens railway at the Paris exhibition of September , 1881 , a dis tance of over 1,000 fcot was traversed in a minute , which is at the rate of nearly twenty miles per hour. There is every probability that electric locomotives can bo run faster than any steam locomotive now used. About ten miles per hour is the average speed that a car can bo run on an electric railway , but 1 think it is possible to run at the rate of 100 miles an hour , in the near future , on elevated , railways , this will no doubt bo accom plished. 1 believe the time will conic when cars will bo run between Boston and Now York in about two hours time , where it now requires six hours by steam railroads , To these remarks it may bo added that in any comparison of the cost ot plants and expenses of operating street rail ways the advantage is with the electrical system. Of course there are KOIIIO of those more expensive than others and I am convinced from n careful examina tion of all at present In operation the system invent oil by Mr. Henry is the most economical as well as the most ollii'iont. The cost of constructing a first-class donblo track cable railway can not bo brought below $1.10,000 per mile , the running expenses nnd the consequent outlay for replacing cables , sheaves , etc. , make it the most expensive form of street railway to operate , A dummy line equipped in the best fitylo will cost from i.r)0,000 ? ) to § 75,000 per -according to the number of dummies used and the cost of fuel on such a line , as shown by the figures given above , is from ISO to ! ! 00 per cent greater than where station ary engines are used. The cost of building are equipping a horse railroad is about $ : JO,0 , ( ) ( ) per mile , while tlio operating expenses are at least fit ) per cent morn than under an electrical sys tem. It is claimed that the Henry sy.s- lorn of electrical railways can be placed on any street car tiack , when the track is already laid , for from $10,000 to § 12,000 per mile , according to the number of cars used proportionally to the mileage. And with this equipment and low oper ating expenses , this 434loin promises to return greater ollieioney , regularity and public comfort and convenience than any other system now in use. It omits no noise , or smoke , or gases , and its con ductors , being placed tit a high elevation over the middle of the street , do not en danger the lives or health of those using the street or interfere with the dntius of Jiromon and others by obstructing uooe.is to buildings.
