. A Wonderful Cur.
St. Paul Glpbe : The electric car
which Is running on Fourth avenue ,
New Yock city , is propelled by an clec-
tric'motQr ' , or rather by two of them ,
and the power is derived from storage
batteries. The car is eighteen foot long
frontdoor to door. The platforms nro
about four foot wide , rather more roomy
than thrive of the .stahdaid struct car ,
which has a sixteen-foot body , and so
the total length of the now cur is about
twenty-six feet.
Instead of four wheels it has eight , on
two trucks of four each , -placed well out
towmd the body and attached by "If ing-
bolts , " just us the truck of an ordin
ary Htcam railroitd car attached. This
enables it toa-ounda short cur\c easily
und without jarring.
Instead 61 oil lamps , the car has elec
tric lights , a group of thrnq in the center -
tor and ono at either end. Over the
driver's head on either platform ii a big
electric gong , With which to warn oil
the track the driver of the Blow dray
who won't got out of the way. This
boll the drhor rings by touching a push
button on the platform with his foot.
The current , as well as that for the
lights , eompsfrom the storage batteries
which operate the motor.
These storage b.ittorlos occupy the
space under the scats. The panels on
tno outside of the car , below the windows
dews , op < Mi outward on hinges and ex
pose a place on cither side largo'onough
to hold four big wooden trays eight In
all each of which contain thirty-six
cells snuaro boxes of hard rubber.
Each cell contains a number of plates of
load , arranged in positive and negative
groupsand also contain the ' 'solution , "
which is nine-tenths water and one-
'tktilh sulphuric acid.
{ Vhen those trays of cells are placed
in position in the car , they are con
nected automatically , so that all the
cells in one side of the car constitute ,
in elTet't , ono storage button * . Kaon
tray , with its contents , weighs about
live hundred pounds , BO that when a car
is ready to start it has aboard about two
tons of storage battery.
The company has a "btation" and a
"plant" tit the Eighty-sixth strootdopot
. of the Fourth avenue lino. The "sta-
IJJt tion" is , in oflect , simply u big room in
lj which it houses the car , loads it up with
11 } electricity , makes repairs , if necessary ,
1 $ otc. The "plant"at the "station" con
sists principally of two covunty-horso-
powwr steam engines and two big dyna
mos , such as generate electricity for
I ? incandescent lights.
lljj The current is ono of low olectromo-
tlvo force and will not hurt anybody.
The storage batteries won't nlow up or
tip the car otT the track , or sting any
body to death. A man may take the
full force of the current from the dynamo
name through the ends of his flngorbo
ami not feel it a tenth part as much as
ho would that from the ordinary med
ical battery.
Suppose the electrician wishes to start
out the car , eight of the trays spoken of
are ranged on benches , on either bide
of a bit of track in the stationon which
fttands the car. Four arc on either side ,
nnd the benches are just of the right
height bo that the trays may readily
slide from them into their places under
the car seats. Tno engines start up
nnd the dynamos begin to revolve. The
oloctrio current which they generate
travels along wires to the tray cells
uud fills them up. It's like pouring
water Into a soncs of pails with a
hose.
If the batteries are empty at the out-
Eot if will take about six hours to fill
them , and then thov will run the car
about thirty miles , but as there are two
sets of battorips for the car , and will bo
for each ono when there are more cars ,
the luittorios will bo charged at the end
ot each trip , and so it will not take long
to Jill them. When the batteries nro
full they are elid into their places under
the scuta , the panels are closed up and
the car is ready to start.
The motors are on the car trucks.
They do not difTor materially from other
well-known motors , excepting that they
nro designed especially for the work
they do. They have two puirs of
brushes , " that Is the shoots of copper
'which rest on the revolving part of the
motor , and which convoy electricity to
it. Whom the motor is reversed ono
pair is thrown off automatically and
the other pair is brought into contact.
On the truck just below the motor is
n counter Bliaft , which lias n glared
wheel which cngnges a pinion or little
geared wheel on the motor. It also has
a toothed wheel on the axels of the
truck. Thus the motor moves the coun-
lor shaft through geared wheels and
the counter shaft moves the axles of the
truck with a chain bolt. The proportions
tions are such that the motor revolves
about bC\cn times to turn the car-
wheel onco.
Now the car is ready to go on. The
driver ho was just an ordinary street
car driver a few months ago , but ho has
boon trained to run the now car and ho
likes it the driver stands in the same
place as he would if he were holding
the reins. At his right hand is the
brake , which has a wheel instead of a
crank , and at his left , on top of a square
box which rises from the flour , is a
lover.
Inside the box is the "governor , "
which is a device for turning as much
or us little electricity as may bo wanted
to the motor. With the lover at the lop
the driver may turn on the full force of
the batteries , p. little force or may turn
it olt altogether. Or ho may reach
down , turn a switch and solid the cur-
rout in the other direction , * o the mo
tor , will pronol the car backward.
> The conductor rings the boll , the
driver turns his lever one notch and the
car begins to move slowly out of thn feta
tion ; another , notch and it goes merrily
down the avenue until it reaches a hill.
Still further the lever is turned nnd the
car climbs the hill as easily as if a loco-
mothe woio pushing it.
Some ono signals to got aboard or a
team coinob dashing out of a side street
and buck goes tno lever as easily as you
can turn jour hand. The diver applies
his brake , and the car slows down or
cornea.to a stop almost at unco and with
out u inr.
, . Anil DO the round trip is miulo. The
car is under bettor control than a horse
car. It can make twalvo miles an hour
if it is desired , and if it loses tlmo by
getting into u blockade it can make it
up much moi'o eabHy than can ono
drawn by n pair of horses.
An Klcctrlo Mountain Ilallwnjr.
A correspondent of the ( Condon Daily
News in Lucerne sends to that paper an
account of an electric mountain rail
way the first of its kind which has
recently boon opened to the public ut
the Burgcnstoek , near Lucerne. Hith
erto ( ho says ) it has been considered im
possible to construct a funicular moun
tain railway with a curve ; but the now
Hne up the Burgonstook has achieved
that feat under tno superintendence * of
Mr. Abt , the Swiss olecitrlcal engineer.
The rails describe ono jfrm'd ' curve
formed upon an attglo of 1113 degrees ,
and the journey is made us steadily
and smoothly as upon any of the straight
funiculars previously constructed. A
bed has boon cut for the most part out
Of the solid , rock in the mountain side ,
from the shore of the Lake of Lucornp
o the height of the Uurgonstock 1,830
feet above Its level , and ,800 feet above
the Level of the sea. The total length
of thn.llno la 038 motors , and it com-
tnoncos with a grnndient or J53 per cent ,
which la increased to 63 nor cent after
the first 400 meters , nnd this is main
tained for the rest of the journey. A
single pair of rails is used throughout ,
with tno exception of n few yarda at
half dbianco to permit two cars to pass.
Through the opposition of the Swiss
government each car is.at the present
imo only allowed the half distance ,
, nd they -insist upon tHe passengers
ihanjjing , in oidoc , a1 * * they say , teA
A old collision or accident. I have
iiadea number of Journo.is up and down
ho mountain in company with an en-
inecr , and the experience is sufficient
i prove1 that the prohibition is alto-
otiior unnecessary. The motive power ,
leetrlolty , is generated by two dyna-
nos , each of twonty-llvp her c'power ,
.vliich . are erected upon the River Aar
t its mouth at IJuochs , thrco miles
way. Only olio man is required to
nanago the train , and the movement of
' 10 cars is completely under his con-
-ol. One dynamo is sufficient to por-
prm the work of hauling up and letting
'own the cars containing fifty Or sixty
icrsons. At the end of the journey ,
omplotod in about fifteen minutes'at
.n . ordinary walking speed , the car
: ioves gently against a spring buffer ,
nd is locked up by a lever , without
loiso and without jolting the pasbon *
jers. This interesting undoi taking
ias been carrie d out at a costof 23,000.
A New Klectrlo Disease.
Chicago Journal : Not a little uneasi-
ess is said to have been caubed in ccr-
.ain manufacturing regions by the out-
) ieak of a peculiar disease in persons
vhoso duties necessitate constant work-
ng under electric light. The disease ,
vhioh is known as electric prostration , "
; iy.s siege to the subject's throat , face
nd temples. Some very severe cases
f it are reported from Cronsot , a town
n France , a largo number of men being
copt at work in that town in a factory
\horo metals are boated by an electric
urnaco. The strength of this furnace
s OVM100,000 candle power , and , while
.ho . heat it ) not in itself sufficient to hurt
ho men , the intense brilliancy of the
ight brings on the "electric prostra-
lon. " The first symptom is said to bo
i painful sousition in the throat , fol-
owed by irritation and inflammation of
.ho eyes. The victim's skin , mcan-
vhilo takes on a copper-red color , while
ho pain in the eyes is followed by cppi-
nar discharges of toard for forty-eight
lours . After four or live days the vie-
, im'H skin peels off in places and ho is
) tliorwiso made to feel the unpleasant
ature of his situation.
The general outbreak of such a dis-
3aso as this would involve serious con-
lOquences. The number of men whoso
nnployment brings them into contact
ivith tno electric light is enormous , and
H calculated to increase at the same
ate as the comparatively new agent
upplanta the old moans of illumination
ivnd becomes used as a motive power.
Some claim that the electric light is
destined ultimately to supercede gas
is lighting power entirely , and should
his bo the case a malady springing di
rectly from contact with the now power
ivould bo a grave matter. The only
remedy so far applied in cases of
"electric prostration" has boon the
wearing of a shade over the eyes by the
erson affected by It. Thia , however ,
while it relieves the direct strain on
iho eyes , does not mitigate the gravity
jf the other symptoms.
The great minds that gave the oleo-
ric light its being are naturally the
ones best calculated to provide a means
of remedying any unpleasant consequences -
quonces that may bo entailed by its use.
To a mind like Mr. Edison's the discov
ery of a cure for "electric piostration"
should bo a simple matter. The malady
boars an evident resemblance in homo
'eapocts ' to the disease known as "color
blindness , " the victims of which are
workmen whoso duties entail n constant
scanning of parti-colored lamps at
night. The entire subject Is ono that
demands the attention of scientists. The
oloctrio light is far too valuable an
ngent to be retarded in its advance
ment by a drawback which a little care-
11 ! study by those most familiar with it
hould remedy.
Electric Hallways.
Electrical World : The discussion
which took place ut the American insti
tute of electrical engineers on the
in pur road by Mr. Frank J. Sprnguo ,
: nado it evident that oloctrio railway
practice is yet far from the point of bo-
111 ? standardized ; and from the state
ments made it would also seem that uni-
'onnity of practice , such as exists in
other systems of traction , is still far in
the future. It is not necessary for us
to take up the criticisms that wore
made on the electric railway in Richmond
mend , as Mr. Snraguo was amply ahlo to
take care of himself and defend hlb
work. His acknowledgements , how
ever , of gome weaknesses , as well as
the revelations as to the cause thereof ,
pointed directly to the fact that in elec
tric railroading , as in electric lighting ,
or any other application of elec
tricity ! hasty work ig apt to
show itself in the very shortest
tune. On the other hand , much of the
trouble caused at Richmond , relating to
the cars , must be sought for in the great
lack of regular attention , nnd as Mr
Sprague states , probably no other piece
of mai'hinery in the worhl could bo
maintained in operation with as little
care as an electric motor. Mr. Sprague
still adheres to the statement made by
him.bOim < time -ago and received with
considerable doubt , that he will soon
produce a machine which ho will bo
able to cloau by Cashing it down with a
hobo , and an armature which can bo left
to soak in n barrel of water over night.
This reiteration makes it evident thai
wo shall soon see the machine about
which BO much curiosity isnatuiall * .
aroused. The- interest manifested
throughout the discussion nnd the large
attendance which its announcement at
tracted , show that the subject is upper
most in the minds of many cloctrioa
engineers , and will furnish teed for
more than ono intcicsttiig meeting.

Mrs. Cleveland' * Engagement Itlng.
Chicago Herald : Mrs. Cleveland's on-
Dag mont rinc is not , aa is generally
supposed , the noauliful diamond which
she wears just above her wedding ring ,
jut is a largo , old-fashioned seal ring ,
which now adorns the president's
finger. There is quite a little history
ittaelied to this ring and the way ft
iiuno to bo bestowed upon Mrs. Clovc-
and.
and.A
A few dnys before the departure of
Mrs. Folsotn and her daughter for
"uiopo , it will bo remembered the
iroaldont went to N w York for the
mrposo of Booing and bidding them
; oou-by. It was upon this occasion that
, ho piesidcnt llrst definitely asked Mri.
Cleveland to become Ins wife and fixed
the date of their marriage immediately
ipon her return to this country. Tak
ing from his linger the wal ling which
10 had worn for \cars , and which had
jcon originally a gift from Mr. Folsom ,
, ho president placed it on her finger , in-
.onding , almobt immediately thoi oaf tor ,
to forward her the handsomest diamond
which could bo found. This plan Mrs.
Cleveland hofbolf ultimately changed ,
is she decided it would bo lebs lilccly to
ittract attention if , during her stay
ibtoiul.she wore the old heal ring which
mil belonged to her dead father.
On llio day of her marriage , as is well
cnown , Mis. Cleveland received a mag-
tilicotit ring nnd necklace of solitaries
rom the president , diamond pins for
the hair and breast from Secretary
tVlntnoy and Mrs. Whtnoiy , in addi-
, ion to numerous other small gifts of a
similar natuto from others. But. curi
ously enough , the first diamond ring
vhlch Mrs. Cleveland over possessed
vas a tiny little star of diamonds , which
iho wore on the little finger of the right
uvnd on the occasion of her rarrriage.
L'his ring was the gift of a friend in
tfow York , who had known Mrs. Clove-
and from early childhood , nnd who ,
learing her'montion the fact that she
ind never owned a diamond , sent the
ittlo glittering star from Tiffany's the
day before her departure from Washlng-
, on when she come on to bo married.
This friend was among the number of
those who came on in the same train
jnd was present at the ceremony.
A Muclity Married Man.
New York Commercial Advertiser :
Pittsburg has a divorce suit that has
brought out a queer history. When
Lice surrendered at Appomattox there
was among his captors one Win field
Scott Whitluch , who felt called to help
further in subduing the rebellion by
marrying a Virginia girl and settling
down to farming. In two j ears , however -
over , ho grow tired of it , and loft be
tween two days for northwestern Now
York , not troubling himself to take his
family along with him. There ho soon
wood and won a girl ju&t out of college ,
and with her spent three years before
sighing for fresh fields and pastures
now. But hov time came. Without a
farewell ho went to Pittsburg , and six
months later married there a third
wife , who proved so attractive that ho
remained with her for fifteen years , un
til 18 2 , when ho disappeared after the
old fashion , and since then , save vague
rumors that ho has boon seen in Mon
tana with yet another wife , the Pitts-
burg partner has hoard nothing from
him. A year ago it was borne in upon
her that ho was dead , and to i nsuro his
being to legally , aho brought suit for
the annulment of her marriage , with
the result of finding out that she was
only one of several who had grounds
for'divorco from him.
A Minister's AK * d Hrlrte.
Chicago Herald : A wedding entirely
out of tno usual run was that of Rev.
John Holston and Mrs. Matilda Pierson
ot Marshall , III. The groom is forty-two
jcura old , of medium height , rather
slender , and weighs about one hundred
and fifty pounds , while the bride is
nearly six foot tall , weighs fully two
hundred and fifty pounds , and is close
to eighty years of ago. She has a son
who is bovoral voars elder than her now
husband. Holston claims to bo a
preacher of the Campbollito denomina
tion. Ho has lived in Wabash town
ship a little over three years and has
occupied himself dually with holding
revivals. Mrs. Ilolston Is an old resi
dent of Wabash township and owns a
good farm. Ilolston has been at the
Piorson residence much of the time
during the last two years , making that
his headquarters during his revivals.
Ho and Mrs. Piorson started out yesterday
'
day morning ostensibly for u'buggy
ride , as they had oftori done before , but
came to Marshall , procured a license ,
and were married at once by the county
judpo. They drove homo immediately ,
and no one in the vicinity know any
thing about the marriage until It was
announced.
Catching a Duko.
Chicago Tribune : Another duke has
been caught , it is said , by another
American woman , or vice versa , as the
case may bo. The duke in question is
the duke of Norlolk , u young widower
of 41. The. lady is Miss Virginia McTu-
vish , and she has as much and as good
American blue blood as her alllanced
husband has English. In this direc
tion , indeed , honors are easy. The Mo
Travishcs htvvo the Seotts of Virginia
on the one hand and the Cart-oils o
Maryland on the other as sources o
their nristociaoy and proofaof pedigree
Any woman who can claim Wintield
Scott and thp Carrolla of Carrolton ab
the main brandies of her family tree i
blue-blooded enough for any duke , BO a
least Americans will think. It Is also
to bo noted that she has money
enough . to maintain her sUU <
in first-class bhape. She will have $30 ,
000 a jear for pin money , which rep re
Bents an English capital of around mill
ion. Both , by blood and by cash ,
therefore , she Is amply qualified to look
after , the housekeeping of , Arunrto

Mnrrlt'Kcs lij Lot.
Paris Register * : Many marriages' take
place annually in Naples because of
money loft , according to last will nnd
testament , by benevolently disposed in
dividuals , to endow n certain number of
i. irtuous poor girls with a small sum of
money as an outfltaml when these girls ,
sav twenty or thirty , present tliom-
selves to the trustees as candidates for
that dower , and the will provides only
for blx such marriages , all the girls
must stop up to the urn nnd draw a lot.
Of coin so. out of the twenty or thirty
girls who have qualified , only six can bb
the lucky ones. Those six are not
entitled to the dower until all the legal
arrangements for the marriage are gone
thiough. There are Always plenty of
young workmen , either day laborers Or
mechanics , who are ready to accept a
girl's hand and 100 or 150 francs dower ,
for she has had to go through a rigid
examination as to her honesty , neat
ness , virtue , otc.
I very often sOo the announcements in
the daily papers of such mairiages , and
last Sunday one of these announcements
attracted my attention mote than usual
on account of the length of time the testator
tater had boon dead whoso funds were
to annually benefit thcbo virtuous girls.
I translate the advertisement literally
as follows :
"MAUIUAOKS The trustees of the
Monte Capalno Chapel of the Church of
San Sahadorof Piotia-Santoin ( Naples )
make known to the public that on the
second Sunday of September , 1S88 , at

riages , each successful person receiving
the bum of lli'lf. , left by the will of CVbar
Cnpnldo , who died in Kill ) , and loft such
sums in favor of thrco young women who
will qualify themselves , which qualifica
tion must take place on or before the ( ith

qualifications : 1. They must be do-
scendantb of the testator ; 2. They must

live years of ago.
Now hero \\o have a provision made
dillorontly from the usual run , in that

Dr. AVrlKht's Two \Vlvci.
Philadelphia Press : There was a remarkable -
markablo rolirantid in the life of Dr. O.
W. Wight , wfio 'Uicd ' at Harper hospi
tal , Philadelphia" Dr. Wight was ono
of the most noted sanitarians of this
country , an author , minister , lawyer
and phjsician. "
When quitq\oung he mot Miss Sarah
Whitmoro , and after a fahort acquaint
ance became engaged to her. Her only
relativei , her .mother , died quite sud
denly , anu thisJipstcnpd Dr. Wight's
narriago. Afteenmurringe ho learned
, hat his wife was > nn insane epileptic ot
; ho worst type.'and that her friends
md purposely'Kept the fact from him

, o Indiana ho secured a divorce. Ho
ind a guardian appointed for his wife ,
and when he married his second wife
they adopted the first wife as a daughter
ind caicd for her.
on the death of his second wife the
ileptic was placed in charge of sisters
charity in a Wisconsin retreat , the
doctor paying all the bills up to the day
ol his death , and she is still living.
The doctor was always very reticent

Some Curious WoitilliiR Fcos.
The Rov. J. B. McGohoo , of Jackson ,
tfiss. , once married a couple , and two
ihickons was his fee. The groom had
.led the chickens behind the parlor
door before the arrival of the minister ,
and after the ceremony ho pulled for
ward the door and pointed behind it
with the remark , "Here's your pay. "
Some time ago the Rov. H. R. Folder ,
of Lander Parish , La. , married a couple
and was rewarded with three stalks of
sugar cano.
In these two instances the marrying
business was a "failure" for the minis
ter , whether it was with the parties or
not.
not.It
It would bo unfair to expect , when a
$5 man marries a $7 girl , that the groom
should give $20 to thootllciating minis-
tot ; still are people in bettor circum
stances us considerate us they should beef
of the pay to which a minister is fairly
entitled , who takes a long ride on u
cold day to accommodate a loving
couple ?
