Underground Wires In Kansas City.
Underground electric wires nro now
being successfully operated in Kansas
City. The Edison electric light com
pany has two and one-fourth miles of
underground conductors In the block
bounded by Sixth , Delaware , Seventh
and Wyandotte streets. They have
boon put underground nt a cost of about
$13.000. The conductor is about two
and a quarter Inches in diameter. It is
in the form of a pipe filled with an in
sulating composition through which six
wires are run. The wires are in two
sots of three each , the wires of ono sot
being about one-half inch in dinmotor ,
the wires of the other sot being about
one-eighth of an inch in diameter. Two
wires in each sot carry the electric cur
rent , the third wire carrying off the
excess of the current. The largo w iros
convoy the strong , currents , especially
these used for motors , while the small
wires carry the current for the incan
descent lights.

Telephone A.innlK > uuiitoii ! in England
The long-talked of amalgamation of
the three leading telephone companies ,
writes our London correspondent , is
now a "fait accompli , " says the Elcct-
ral World. Our readers will , no doubt ,
recollect that the scheme originally
proposed was vetoed by the postmaster
general , who refused to sanction the
transfer of the 'present companies'
license to a now concern to bo called
the Telephone t/nion. The amalga
mation of the throe companies is now
affected by the purchabo of two of them
by the third , the latter company giving -
ing _ its shares as the purchase price.
This arrangement , which will take
effect as from May 1 , is the outcome of
lengthy and delicate negotiations , and
it is to bo hoped that its ostensible ob
ject , namely , the extension and im
provement of intoruban telephony , will
now bo achieved. The purchasing
company is the National telephone com
pany , whoso license covers the whole
of the United Kingdom , nnd the two
companies absorbed are the United and
the Lancashire and Chosiro. The area
worked by these three companies in
cludes the whole of Scotland and all
Edgland north of the Thames , with ono
small exception , nnd comprises the
chief Industrial and seaport towns In
the kingdom. The companies not
aficctod by this arrangement are the
Western Counties nnd South Wales ,
the south of England , the Northern
District and the Telephone Company of
Ireland , whoso districts , although equal
in extent to these worked by the
amalgamated companies , arc of com
paratively secondary importance.

An English electrician has invented
a material ho calls "altorion , " for the
prevention of corrosion in boilers. The
interior of the boiler Is coated with the
material , and from time to time elec
trical currents are sent through it.
Great Britain counts on soon having
the largest dynamo in the world. It is
being made for the now electric light
works ut Doptford. The shaft of the
machine will bo turned out of a block
of ateol weighing seventy-five tons ,
which has been cast at Glasgow.
The Union Electric Car company is
pushing the work on Beverly's now
storage battery railway as fast as the
weather will permit. The car house is
completed and track laying is going on
at a iapld rate. The electric cars arc
nearly completed and will bo ready to
go Into Immediate commission as soon
as the rails aroroady for thorn.
Electric railways are of such recent
origin that comparatively a small portion
tion of the people of the United States
have ever seen ono in operation , and
yet it is surprising to learn that flftv-
nine electrical street railways having
an aggregate mileage of 309 miles and
operating 410 motor earn , were in exist
ence in America last month , while the
number is still rapidly increasing , says
the Railway Ago. A very considerable
number of such roads nro in operation
in other countries. If the construction
of electrical roads troca on us rapidly in
the future us it has in the past f w years
electricity will soon have received a
wonderful demonstration of its possibil
ities in connection with the locomotive.
The Electric Date and Time Stamp
company makes a combined clamping
nnd dating machine , which attached tea
a clock works by a battery current , and
gives everything pobsiblo that could bo

answering loiters and paying sight
drafts. The inventor is said to bo try
ing to pet it perfected so thut it will

The other day In San Francisco n reporter -
porter cnllotl oil the Rov. Gnsstnun , and
ronwrkitifr that as his former intorvlow
Imd furnished very pleasant reading for
the subscribers of the Examiner , would
ho bo kind ODOUR li to glvo the reporter
Bomomoroof hlsrocoUcctionsof frontier
llfo In Nebraska.
The following narration , which was
fully vouched for by Rev. Gussmnn , was
written from facts furnished bo him :
In 1854 , In Brownvlllo , Nebraska , a
man named George Tract , who was a
commission merchant on a small scale ,
mysteriously disappeared.
There was no clue whatever as to his
fate , nnd the idea was general that ho
was In some way disposed of at the same
time that three horse thieves wore put
out of the way by a vigilance committee.
His wife stated that ho had gone out
that oven ing , about "o'clock , saying that
he might not return until late. This
was the last ever soon of him.
Another queer circumstance was the
fact that tno three horaothlovos who
wore taken from the jail the same night
that Tract disappeared were never
hoard of again. It was an old custom in
Nebraska , to string such people up to a
tree , with n placard attached to their
persons , but on this occasion nil trace of
them
"WAS virisD OUT ,
The sheriff said that agang of masked
men had taken them from the jail , and
that was the last of his knowledge of
them. It was not customary for a sheriff
to follow lynching parties in Nebraska
in those lawless days.
The disappearance of Tract was a
source of wonderment for years , but
the secret of his death appeared to
have perished with him.
Residents of Brownvillc , Neb. , will ,
on reading this article , rcali/.o for the
first time what became of Tract , and
several parties who were with him on
that fatal night and saw him die will
recognize the truth of this narration.
Lost some of thorn might fool troubled
at the revelations made hero , they can
fool assured thai while the facts are
given truthfully , the names of the par-
tics who know all about Tract's death
are in the possession now of no living
person. The truth of the fatory is as
follows :
On the night of December 2 , 1851 ,
throe horse thieves were taken from
the rude log jail at Brownvillo , Neb. ,
and put to death under peculiar cir
cumstances. They wore thrust through
a hole in the ice by a party of masked
men , most of whom are yet alive. One
of the men who was drowned was a mur
derer , and the other two were horse-
thieves nnd regular desperadoes. A
parishioner of the Rev Lawrence Guss-
mnn made the following statement on
his deathbed :
"I helped to drown them , and it was
such an awful thing that it has
IIAUNTKD MC KVEU SINCE.
\Ye took them handcuffed from the jail
at Browuvillo , and about 2 o'clock in
the morning led them to the river. It
was winter and the ice was a foot thick
nnd full of air-holes.
"Tho poor follows never suspected
the awful fate in btoro for thorn until
we reached a place in the middle of tno
river , whore there was an air-hole
about ton foot across.
"We set the lanterns down alongside
the hole nnd then , for the first time ,
they realized what they were there for.
"Wo told them to kneel by the brink
and pray , if they wanted to. One knelt
but the other two began to struggle ,
but It was no use ; they were bound and
handcuffed , and we dragged them to
the edge whore the other wi-,3 kneeling.
Ho clasped his manacled hands at the
edge of the ice nnd then , lifting them
above his head , asked the curse of
heaven on us all.
"Around him stood a determined
group nnd below the dark , rushing
watei , where the swift , swishing cur
rent of the river sped beneath us.
"Somo of the crowd began to weaken ,
but the majority were determined , and
as the poor icllow was calling down the
curse upon us , some one hit him along
side the head with the butt of a re
volver , and ho fell on his side stunned.
"They were pushed into the water ,
but the hold onto the edge of the ice
with their innnnclod hands , cursing and
blaspheming horribly.
"Ono man stainuod on those hands
with the hcol of his boot , until he
mashed the fingers to pieces , and while
doing it the Other man , stilt in
the water , suddenly caught his foot ,
and before anyone know what was being
done his other fool slipped and Do wna ,
in the hole ,
"Both men lot go the Ice then mid
grabbed him. A do/.on hands were
stretched over the hole to rescue the
poor follow , but the others hold him
with ihoir teeth and innnnclod hands.
Before this they were trying to keep
their bodies as far out of the wntor a3
possible to keep from the resistless cur
rent , but the instant they got their vlo *
Urn they sank as far as they could.
"It was a torrlblo scene. "Wo boat on
their faces with our revolvers to ranho
thorn lot go , but they
HAD TUB DKATII G1UP ,
anil the current , which was running
like a mill race , sucked the three strug
gling men under nnd wo had to lot go to
save oursolvos.
"Two or three hands that hold the
man wo were trying to rescue lot go
and the additional strain was too muoh
for the rest and they had to loosson
their grip also , and the three disap
peared together.
The name of the man wo tried to rescue -
cue was George Tract. No ono cared to
investigate the antocendants of the men
taken from the Jail , but the disappear
ance of the other man was the town
talk for a long time.
"It was a terrible mystery and these
who know never breathed a word.
"I am dying nnd want to toll someone
ono before I go that the mystery sur
rounding the disappearance of George
Tract may bo cleared up. He had no
friends outside of his relatives to mourn
his loss and was so brutal Sn'stnmping on
these poor follows' hands that it scorned
like justice toc have him die with the
others. "
