FINAL SUCCESS OF THE EXPERIMENTS Unlit a Mmlct Ilonil In Ihc Jlnxoi.icnt of n College mill Inntnlled ( ho LiulcrKrotinil S ) fcni lit Denver lit 188. . Th first electric road In the United States , built In Denver In 1885 , was , strangely enough , on underground trolley system , al most exactly llko the ono now adopted as the la t development of cloetrlo railroading In 1869. There Is always difficulty In n cor rect statement of priority of Invention. Mil lions of dollars ore spent every year to establish this claim In behalf of patents. I happen to know the facts about the first electric railway commercially operated ID this country , because I built It. I designed the cars , made and wound the motors and ran the line at a tlmo when the cable was tolng substituted for horse potfcr on the eurfaco roads of 1'blladolphla now the great overhead trolley city of the country. An overhead trolley oven was then unknown. The steam cable , which had been In suc cessful operation In Cincinnati , San Fran cisco and perhaps other American cities , was Generally considered In 18S5 to offer the most efficient substitute for horse cars. I was led to a different-conclusion , al though I was then only twenty-seven years of age , and by no means willing to pit myself against practical railroad experts. I was convinced electricity could bo safely and se curely harnessed I had made experiments with the clcctrlo current from boyhood , having first had my curiosity excited by watching spaiks leaping over a break In a lightning rod. I was brought up , I might cay , along a railroad , my father bolus sup erintendent of the Little Miami line , run ning from Columbus to Cincinnati. Soon after my matriculation In 'Iho Ohio State university In 3875 I was fortunate enough to make a friend of the manager ol the Western Union telegraph ofl\co In Co lumbus. Ho permitted me to use tbo pomp- any's cast-off apparatus and I became an ex port In telegraphy. Model Itoiiil lit n IIitNciuoiit. In the basement of the college bulldlns , Denver , I constructed from my own de I signs an electric 'railroad. The motors were unlike nny other over built and'the ' two cars which I built , wood , metal and all , wore for sorno time operated on this track , a single line , with turn-outs , and were ridden in by war n people. This was In 1SS4. Some T orstandlng of what an electrical "motor Is DCcomes necessary when ono would comprehend Juot what takes place in a car i moved by electricity and how and why the car moves. Rverybody knows that two magnets'placed near each other attract each other. Each exortR a distinct force , which can bo meas ured. Now a motor is two magnets. One of thceo magnets Is fixed and la called the field. The other magnet revolves and Is called the armature. When a polo of the armature or revolving magnet approaches n pole of the field or fixed magnet the latter pulla the former tonaid Itself. When the two get Into line , the electric cunent Is changed by the cummutator Into another polo of the armature and the uamo process Is repeated. The moro poles the greater the pull. Now when the armature la fastened to the axle of a car naturally the axle haste to meTe when the armature moves In obedi ence to thin pull and when 'the axle moves the wheels must revolve and when they ro- cnmpuny H at once organized.

There wore no sewerage connections In the streets and the problem of dralnago bothered us. Yet the road was , In spite of all , a commercial suc cess. It paid. The condition ot the streets In the respects mentioned was the only rea son why u cable was , after some years , sub stituted for this sub-trolley , and over-head trolley afterward for the cable. At that tlmo the lludnpesth sub-trolloy system , which with Improvements Is now the ono adopted by the Metropolitan Traction company In the city of Now York as the best In the world , was not In existence. But" the Denver sub- trolley was In actual successful commercial qneratlon. Nor Is it 'strango that n Rocky mountain city should have been the first' Ametlcan community to use electric traction. The electric light was gencaally In use In Rocky mountain towns long before It was Introduced In tbo middle and eastern states. " , PROF. S. II. SHORT , PIONEER OF ELECTRIC ROADS.

In other words , they are electro-magneto. The 1 < Mrot Huiul. The vast possibilities ot electric railway traction gradually grew on me. In the meantime I went to live In Denver , where I accepted the professorship of physics and chemistry In tbo University ot Denver. There I built the Joseph Henry , a double trolley car , with flvo-horae pocr motors and ran It on an elliptical track. So 1m- pressed were the capitalists then Interested to my experiments that tbo Denver Tramway The streets of Butte , Mont. , then the great est mining camp In the world , were lighted by arc lights In 1S81. actually before there was a steaul railroad within many miles of the camp. People who arrived In old fash ioned l'"ocky mountain stage coaches wore surprised on alighting to find the streets brilliantly Illuminated by electricity. Hoturnlng to Columbus In 1880 , I built two miles an3 a half of overhead trolley In that city from the North High street ' railway to the fair grounds. Shortly after that the overhead trolley was put In opera tion In Richmond , Va. , built by Frank J. SpiMgue. Since that time I have devoted myself es pecially to electrical railroading and have constructed trolley lines In St. I ouls , Cleve land , Los Angeles , Buffalo , Cincinnati , Tltts- burg , Now Orleans , Beaten , Kansas City , Rochester , MusUegon , Johnstown , Norfolk and San Francisco. In the year 1898 there \sns scarcely a town of commercial size In the country that hadn't Its electric railways. Vet fourteen years have hardly elapsed since the Ilrst onu was built. It is as a result of my own experience that I am confidently looking to sco the , operation of trunk line railroads ot standard gauge by electricity. Fuiure 1'ofisllillUlen. Yet It must by no means bo supposed that the application of electricity to street railway traction was made entirely success ful In the brief period outlined here. Nor am I disposed to maintain that electrla street railway traction has oven now reached a state of po.-fectlon. And yet within the lifetime of the generation now living equa progress should be made In the application of electricity to the hauling of trunk line trains on long distance railroads. The inoblem Is a fascinating one , Involv ing almost a revolution In our social life So great is the gulf between fitly and 15 miles an hour. Tills would be the crown Ing achievement , or rather the supreme re suit of the labors ot these pioneers who like Ilobert Davidson , foreshadowed as long ago as 1838 what might some day be rea lized , Just half a century has elapsed since Davldeou moved by electricity a ten-foot car equipped with forty cells of primary ounded on their patents and on these ot Van Do Poele. The result of my own Investigations has ncllncd mo toward ttio separata equipment f each car with electric motors , according o what Ic now called the multiple-control ystcm , rather than to the construction ot a heavy electrical locomotive , which should raw n number of unequipped cars. Yet ach of these systems has Its special uses nd advantages. The motors and gener ators used on IIio pioneer line in Denver were modifications of the famous Brush are Ight machines made In Cleveland. The motors were first placed on a separate ruck and suspended independently of the prlugs which carried the car body. The next or second conduit road con- tructcd in the United States was laid on ho Bentley-Knlght system In Allegheny , 'a. , and In 1S87 the tlilrd commercial clec- rlc railway was Installed by F. J. Sprague u Richmond. Certainty of Succcnii. By this tlmo It was evident that electric allways were successful and popular , and hrco companies , the Thomson-Houston , the Sprague Electric Hallway and Motor com pany and the Short Electric Railway com- iany , began the manufacture ot electrical railway appliances. In 1890 the Edison General company ab- orbed the Sprague interests and the AVcst- nghouso Electric and Manufacturing com pany took up railway work. Improvements vere making constantly. Mild steel was ound to bo the best material for motor onstructlon. Us permeability being double hat of cast Iron , so that nn equally strong nagnct could bo made of half the metal , 'ho Short company now began producing a motor which operated directly on the axle without the use ot gears. By a spring sys- em the armature could start suddenly with out encountering the inertia of the entire ar. The Walker Manufacturing company evolved motors so much moro powerful , and at the time so much simpler , than any hero- oforo in use , that long-distance railroading amo to bo regarded'ns the next great prob- em to bo overcome by electrical engineers. The enormous electrical locomotives de igned to pull heavy railroad trains through he Baltimore & Ohio tunnel In Baltimore were built and equipped with the Short gearlossymotors. The problem of long-dls- anco railroading seemed ono step nearer olutloh , for these electrical locomotives iaul the heaviest freight trains with ease , 'he Feun'sylvanla railroad , on Its Burlington andJIount Holly branch , and the New York , ow Haven , & Hartford railroad , on Its Nan- ask'ot beach and other branches , introduced lectrlcal traction for standard gauge cars , quipping each car at first with its own motors. The Brooklyn elevated railroad is now being equipped with the heavy Walker motors , and the Introduction of electricity on the New York elevated railway systems annot long bo deferred. The achievements of the past fourteen years read like n fairy talc. But It would not bo strange It men now living breakfasted In Now York and unched In Chicago. S. II. SHORT.

"Well , " said the Footprint to Slug Seven , as ho settled down on his stool and began : o throw In a handful of typo , "If I didn't , lave a tlmo of it getting down hero out or Uioso mountains ! " "Been up in the mines ? " inquired Slug Seven. "Yep , " replied the Footprint , "Just came out. Footed it from Angels to Milton yes terday and rode into Stockton on a sldedoor sleeper last night. A sldedoor sleeper , " continued th& Footprint , "is not the most comfortable mode of traveling. Person ally , I prefer to rldo on a red cushion , but the heartless and exorbitant demand of the railroad trust for spot cash and the war tax which plutocratic greed has put on whisky compelled mo to walk or come as freight. I came as freight. " "Sure , " said Slug Seven. "Tho unpleasant feature of the trip , " con tinued tlio Footprint , "was the base be trayal of confidence on the part ot the brakeman with whom I negotiated for an undisturbed passage. For a cash considera tion of six bits and a drink of liquor he verbally coutracted to waybill mo from Mil ton to the division end nt Stockton. We went up street to take the drink and well , you .know how one word brings on another. By train tlmo tbo J4 I had sunk in my Jeans had been fished to the surface and sent acrost the bar for red liquor. Ttio drakeman was full when he started for the yards. So was I when I started after him. The brakeman confided to mo on the way through the yards that he owned the whole train and I could ride anywhere and any way I wanted to. I told him that I was surrounding about a quart of Milton whisky , and If it was all the eamo to him and he had a nice , dry empty box car I would bo shipped as nn unbroken original package. Ho agreed and wo went over where the train was standing made up to find that empty. The brakeman ran n door open , gave mo a hurried boost In and ran the door shut and loc\ed It. After a bit I struck a match to look about , and what do you suppose that cuss had done ? " "Give It up , " said Slug Soyen. "Billed mo as live stock , by gum ! Fact , There I was , locked In a box car with two mules , loose , and all of us good to keep com pany to the division end. What was that Sherman said about war ? Said It was hc-1 didn't he ? Well. It ain't. It's only nn Imi tation. The real , orthodox , rose-colored h 1 is to spend n night In a locked boxcar with two mountain ranch mules. It isn't a Ipng run from Milton In , and I concluded , after tbo train had bumped along about three miles and thosif scared mules had begun to cbargo around and kick a rat-a-tat , tut- tat on the sides of the car , that the only plan of campaign left to mo was a flank movement and a sudden mounting ot ono ot the animals. It wouldn't bo a dream of pleasure on that mule's back , but It woulc bo safer than dodging four rapid-fire bine heels uultmbered for action. I got on the mule all right , and after a little bucking he steadied down tolerably well. The anlma was evidently scared to death and seemei to take comfort In being straddled by a rider. "Well , I was chuckling to myself over the state of affairs in the live stock departmen of the Espee railway , and figuring that an | other hour would see ua in the division jnrds , when my friend , the brakeman , would open the door , when the train stopped , e\l- dcntly AI a siding , as I knew wo wercn t near a station. We bumpca about A bit and I took a double wrap on the mules cars , then we stood still while some other cars were bumped about , and then I heard two short toots ot the whistle and a rumble that gradually grow fainter. The train had pulled out and wo were side-tracked ! Wo stayed there till morning , too , nnd I rode that son of n jackass , with a backbone llko the ridge ot a church roof , up and down and around that car every weary tnlnuto of all that weary night. To quit riding meant to go to sleep , fall off nnd have the liver and lights and half-tones trampled and kicked out ot mo by two scared muntaln mules. I estimate that I rode that mule 13G miles a&d three furlongs In that car and the car trav eled seventeen miles bcfora being side tracked. The remaining three miles of tbo twenty between Milton and Stockton I made on foot , thus completing a Journey of 156 miles three furlongs In a stralcht line be tween two points that wore twenty miles apart , a mathematical impossible feat ac complished by one Jackass with the aid of two relatives on the male side of the house.

A great bole through the root showed ho sky above , and the floor was torn up , as f by a dynamite explosion. These who knew Vincent was in the office expected to find him dead. But ho was standing against the wall trying to collect ils CODECS. A torn trouscr leg and the re mains of his right shoe were the only appar ent signs of Injury.

Llmploj iiteitt nn IluIIroiul Section HiindH In the IVortlMvcit. Mention war made in a recent issue ot tbo Bulto Miner that the Great Northern waa using the Japanese to a largo extent as sec- Ion men and laborers along its line. Upon his subject the Hamilton ( Mont. ) No AS says : "Five Japa dropped off the evening rain Friday nnd the next morning relieved ho section hands of the Grantsdalo section , he whlto foreman alone being retained. All along the line of the western railways the rack repairing work la now done by Italians , lapancae and Chluesc , usually under whlto ) osses. The little brown men are furnished by the hundreds by contractors who make a big rakn-off. The Japs on the local branch receive $1.20 per day , out of which they sup port themsclvcS. The Japs differ from Chi nese laborers in that they 'blow in1 every cent they make , having a strong penchant lor lota of grub and 'booze. ' " DlscuEelng tbo matter at greater length , .ho Spokane Review of recent date eaya : 'The coming ot the little brown men from Japan la proving a source ot worrlmont to many.

"Tho railroads have tried the Japanese workmen and found them most satisfactory , bast year their use as section laborers was nn experiment , this year It baa passed that stage. Unless all signs fall It will not ba many months before all the railroads In the Pacific northwest will bo using Japanese exclusively as section laborers , retaining whlto men only as bofses , "On the Northern Pacific It is estimated that already 00 Japanese are employed on track work In tbo Pacific northwest , com paratively few whlto men being loft. The Dregon Railway and Navigation company has a largo number of Japanese section men.

"A little Inquiry among the railroads brings out tbo fact that it Is not entirely that the Japanese will work cheaper than white men that they are being hired In such numbers , but because they are moro reliable. It Is a well known fact among the employers of labor that a white man will do more work In a day than a Japanese , and that the increased pay a white man demands over a Japanese laborer Is fully earned , but the railroads bay tbo men are constantly shifting from place to place , and will not hold a Job long and are forever wanting their ' 'time" and the ac companying time check.

Plnrlil Appeal for Salvation at a Ijj iicliliipr Rce. The senior senator from Colorado , with the exception of the period ho served as secretary of the interior In President Arthur's cabinet , has represented his state In the senate uince its admission to the union In the Centennial year. Ho is one of tbo most dignified members of that body , says the Philadelphia Post , a man with whom It Is difficult to connect a romantic episode , and yet in the early days when ho was n pioneer in Gllpln county , Colorado , at the time of the silver excitement there , he was a participator In many thrilling incidents. No ono was more forward In Insisting that the law should bo observed , and ho was frequently called upon to help in the execu tion of justice. It is told of him that on ono occasion ho took part In the lynching of a Mexican who was caught robbing the slulco boxes. It was not the first offense , and the man bad again and again been warned , but to no purpose. The trial was conducted with all order and propriety by the miners about there , and It was decided that the culprit must hang. Senator Teller took a prominent part In the debate , and while he regretted tbo necessity , he still advocated the hanging as Important In malntalnlng.law and order. The preparations were made , the rope fixed around the prisoner's neck , and everything was ready for his execution ; at this moment Senator Teller , who Is a deeply religious man , asked for a stay In the proceedings , and suggested that a chance be glven , the Mexi can to pray , a privilege the poor wretch declined , but Teller , determined that he should not swing Into eternity without a prayer being offered up In Ms behalf , bowed Ills own head and earnestly besought the Almighty that the offending brother should not bo punished In the next world for tbo crime for which they were sending him out of this ono. After the hanging , Tom Bowen , who subsequently served In the upper house with Teller , came up and said : "Old man , that was a great prayer you put up. That Mexican ought to have felt flattered , and would It bo had understood you. I couldn't help but think , however , that there was a certain amount of sarcasm \ In It. It struck mo that you displayed a I fashion of Insolent effrontery In urging the I admission to heaven of a Mexican whom you had already condemned as. not good enough for Gllpln county , Colorado.
