The steady progress of trolley lines In
covering the field of local passenger traffic
formerly monopolized by fctcam roads U be
ginning to attract the attention of In
vesters In railroad securities. The United
States Investor of reont date rovlcws the
situation, declaring that Wall street oper
ators are closely watching "electrical road
construction In cities and suburbs and won
dcrlng If the credit side of the account of
several systems will show as big u surplus
a few years hence as at present." The do
volopment of trolley lines designed to meet
the demand for frequent service between
cities and suburbs Is a matter of general
knowledge, but the extension of such lines
beyond municipal boundaries Is much more
marked In tho crowded cast than In the
west. What has been dono and what Is
projected Is detailed by tho Investor as
follows: The fact Is that such a boom In
the extension of tho trolley lines Is In
progress that It has become a serious men
ace to what Is generally called local
traffic. Such systems as the New York,
Now Haven ft Hartford, the Philadelphia &
Reading, the Baltimore & Ohio and even
somo of tho Vanderbllt lines and the Penn
sylvania ItHclt have already been affected
to a certain extent, and will bo consid
erably more so. In tho case of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford tho stnto of
affairs is very Interesting. Here Is a line
which has had almost an absolute monopoly
of the local business between the metropolis
and the principal towns In Connecticut,
Rhode Island and Massachusetts. It has
furnished tho only means of transportation
east and west by rail through one of tho
most thickly settled portions of tho United
States and It Is unnecessary to refer to the
enormous earnings which It has enjoyed.
Slowly but surely, however, tho trolley sys
tem has gone Into tho territory and nt
present a gap of but a fow miles remains
In a chain of such roads between New York
and Boston. Companies formed within tho
last few months will probably closo these
.gaps within tho noxt year. Extending out
of Boston the electric lines tiavo gone
further and further, until the passenger
can travel not ten or fifteen mllcB, hut fifty
or sixty miles If he desires. In tho sound
country such towns as Bridgeport, New Ha
ven, Norwalk and Greenwich are connected
In the sarao manner, while tho railroad
builders are moving steadily northeast from
Manhattan Island.
I.eiitllnK Ntciuu It unit". I'nrnllclcil.
From Long Branch, on tho Jersey coast,
.tho electrical builders have gone south
west beyond Asbury park, taking In every
town of consequence reached by the Penn
sylvania and the Heading roads, and tho
plans now under way will complete the
system to Atlautlc City, crossing tho sev
eral Inlets by n series of steam ferries.
Within the last two years an electric lino
has been built from Atlantic City to
Longport and a new mute has been com
pleted to Cape May. With the Asbury
Park systems connected another chain of
trolley lines will parallel both of the sys
tems rtferred to. Tho situation between
Philadelphia and Washington Is also very
Interesting to the student of railroad prog
ress. Companlos have actually been formed
to carry out plans which will bridge the 225
miles of distance between these cities, and
already a good start has been made.- One
can hoard a trolley ear at Philadelphia and
not leave It until ho reaches Wilmington,
Del., thirty miles south. Another lino
operates from Wilmington, south to New
ark, Del. A company has been formed of
local capitalists 'to build from this point
to the Susquehanna river, where It will
meet an electric road which reaches from
Baltlmoro to Belalr and Havre, de Grace, a
distance of thirty-rive miles. Several years
ago tho Baltimore & Washington Boulevard
Electric company was formed of Baltimore
and Washington parties, but through the
Influence of tho Pennsylvania and tho Bal
timore ft Ohio companies, this scheme was1
abandoned for the tlmo being, after the
road had been graded half way to Baltlmoro
and the rails laid to a distance of ten miles
east of Washington. From Baltimore to
Rlllcott City, a ten-mile branch of tho local
railway system Is In operation and but
twenty miles arc required to link the two
cities. Several banking firms In Cleveland,
O., have formed n syndicate to carry out
this project. Including a branch to Annapo
lis, Md., and It Is understood that contracts
will probably bo let within tho next three
months.
Further south tho cities of Richmond
and Petersburg, Va., will also bo connect
ed by trolley within a few weeks, the line
running parnllol to tho Renboard Air line,
the Atlantic Coast line and tho Norfolk A
Western, Between Fort Worth and Dal
las, Texas, a dlstanco of thirty-two miles,
another electric, line will soon bo In opera
tion. But the activity of the trolley builders
has been most pronounced, perhaps, In New
York state, where literally a network of
electric lines Is being extended as far east
as Syracuse and west to Lake Erie. Tho
road between Buffalo and Niagara Falls,
operated by the power of the cataract, Is
well known. The parties Interested In this
line are now promoting another from Buf
falo to Rochester, a distance nt sixty-eight
miles, while the Rochester Railway com
pany, which has recently extonded Its linen
to 8odus on I-ako Ontario, a distance of
thirty-two miles, has planned another to
Canandalgua and Penti Yan through the
heart of one of the mpst prosperous sec
tions of tho state. Syracuse and Buffalo
parties are Interested In a plan to promote
the connection of Byrneute with Rochester
with the Idea that It will oventually be a
portion of a through route from Syrucuse
to Buffalo. Neatly every one of these lines
runs within five or six miles of the Now
York Central ami West Shore systems, both
Vanderbllt properties. An Ohio syndicate
has planned u scheme to connect Buffalo
and Clevoland with a 100. mile road on
which cars will be operated at tho rate or
lifty miles an hour.
He i in v uf Out-rut Ion,
The above are only a few of the projects
which are not only under consideration, but
are belns carried out, and, as already
stated, are In direct competition to steam
roads. One does not have to go far to find
the reasons for the millions of money which
re being Invested In these enterprises.
The economy In operating a single motor
car or a train of two or three, over five or
six cars hauled by a steam locomotive, id
apparent. In the first place, they can bo
stopped and started much more quickly
and with far less expense, Wth the elec
trical equipment now provided a speed of
sixty miles an hour can be malntnlnod
without difficulty and with sofety, the only
requirement being a well-ballasted roadbed
laid with heavy rails and cars large enough
to rcmatn on tho track, As a rule, however,
cars hauling as many as the avoruge steam
railroad coach are considered the best
adapted for this suburban service and ore
being used In place of the familiar street
car. Another Important advantage Is tho
comparative cheapness with which a road
bed for a trolley line can be constructed.
Tho great expense of grading a steam road
to a low level through a hilly country Is
one of the problems which engineers have
to contend with. As the averago electric
motor can propel a ear up n grado twlco
as steep as would "stall" a steam locomo
tive, the former road can be built uphill and
downhill and consequently In much
otralghter lines than the others, as In
many Instances the engineer finds that It Is
necessary to mako an extensive curve In
order to avoid a costly cut or more ex
pensive tunnel.
While a trolley train of two or three cars
requires only the conductor and motorman,
passenger train service on a steam road re
quires tho engineer and firemen, besides
the conductor and at least one, It not two,
trainmen, consequently tho expenses of
electrical road operations aro less than
half that upon Its rival.
These nre some of the facts which have
set railroad experts to thinking and espe
cially llKsa who ato watch ng the pro pects
of returns from railroad s.c-rl.l An ex
amination of the rcpsrti cf many of lha so
lemn mentioned would show a surprisingly
large percentage of revenue from whit
might be called town-to-town traffic, the
sale of tickets between villages ranging
from ten to thirty miles apart.
Stops aro only made at places of scv rnl
hundred population and these aro only
served by what are termed local or ac
commodation trains, as It woutd bo ab.urd
to attempt to slop the fost express trains
where time Is such un object. In tbe case
of the trolley car, however, but a small de
lay ensues In making stops, even a. crcsi-
1 roads and It is enly nstuial that the farmer.
for Instuncc, who Is doing buslne-a In in
city and can boatd the trol.ey car, reaching
n point n mile from his homo, w.ll prefer
It to tho rullway train which landi hlra at
the village five miles away, from which h
must drive to reach his destination.
Whllo it cannot be expected that the
electric lines will be formidable compst
Itors In trafllc between places fifty and 100
miles apart thetc Is no doubt thit they aro
In many localities gradually but surely
being substituted for the steam lines for
local business. Although tho mileago
built within the last two or throe years has
been so large as to be almost Incredible,
contract nfter contract-Is bslng let for ex
tensions and now roads In all parts cf tho
country and apparently the promoters of
the many legitimate projects havo no diffi
culty In securing unlimited capital. Under
these circumstances the linos of steam rail
ways which havo electricity for a rival
will hear watching from year to year.
Current Notes.
Electricity Is to be used for the first tlmo
this season In the Maine logging camps,
not to disintegrate tho trees, but, to haul
them n way nfter that fell purpose has been
accomplished.
In an experiment In canal towing about
to bo tried In London the cnnal barges will
be drawn by an electrically propelled
VL-hlelo usInK tho towpath and fed by :in
overhead trolley also.
It Is announced from New ork mat tne
electric storage battery has finally been
perfected, and that omnibuses are .being
put.iiiiv oMtilnnerl with luittcrles. Technical
journals continue li spenk in .the highest
terms of Edlsui'3 new accumulator and
predict wonderful results from Its early up-
pucnuon.

admits, however, of such radlcnl departuro

may, by discarding many of our old ideal

in the prevailing practice."
It Is wild that cheap telephone service Is
revolutionizing conditions In some of tho
fnrmlnc districts of the middle west. In
Tipton rounty. Illinois, n farmers' news
service has been established, tho sub
scribers taking down their receivers at 7
o'clock each evening and listening to a. re
hearsal of the weather Indications, market
quotations and the general news of tho
dav throughout the world; nfter which tho
farmers are given time to hhk qucsiions.

strategic reasons electric operation Is nt u
disadvantage, compared with steam opera
tion, as In ense of war tho service could bo

IIiiimIoo Thirteen.
Philadelphia Tlecord: "If I owned a
hotel," said a clerk In one of the leading
hotels the other evening, as a guest left
tho office, after positively refusing to be
located in u "13 room, "I'd settle that
thirteen superstition. I wou'dn't have n
thirteen room In the house; I would skip
them altogether. The idea isn't original
with me, for some houseH now avoid the
nuisance by numbering what wojld other
wise be the thirteen rooms, twelve and a
half, or by passing over from twelve, to
fourteen. Hut I'd copy the Idea. Tlusa
superstitious people distress me."
"Here." suddenly continued tho clerk, as
a person on the other side of tho counter
nbseut mlndodly started to close, tho hotel
register, "what are you doing that for? Do
you want to 'queer' this hotel. If you
closed thut book we wouldn't have any
business for the rest of tho day. and muybo
the 'hoodoo' would follow us for a week.
That's right, laugh; but I have been In this
business long enough to know what i am
talking about."
"What wasthat you said about supersti
tious people t" Inquired the man on the
other side of the counter.
Driving a Cork Oat.
At a prominent social club In New York
tho other night a man won ii'bet of $10 by
driving a cork out of a bottle. There were
several who' wanted to wager large sums
that he couldn't do It. but being a guest he
declined all but tho $10 bet, on the familiar
ground of "Gentlemen. I don't want to rob
you," It was an ordinary whisky bottle,
full up to the neck. He proposed to grip
It tlrmly i" tho left hand nnd strike with
.i, r.nim nf his rlcht smartly unon the con.
cave bottom, holding tho bottlo In n horl-J
zontal position. In a reign of deepest!
silence lie nmum uuu iu mr nuipnai- oi an

How to Mark the Ballot
Nebraska will use at this fall's election
the original Australian ballot, which re
places the. blanket form In vogue for the
last five years. Tho ballot, therefore, can
not be called new, as It is merely a return
to the first principles of tbe Australian
system with some modifications, from which
the legislators wandered In the session
of 1894-G.
Tho kangaroo ballot, as It Is known in
the land of Its Inception, Is far more simple
nnd convenient than the ungainly blanket
form, as reference to the fac simile printed
elsewhere will show. It not only facilitates
voting, but makes the count much easier
and more rapid. By Its use tho voter may
exercise a straight party choice or he may
vote a split ticket with but few marks,
while rnder the old plan It was necessary
to marK each candidate separately.
Five parties, tho republican, democratic,
people's Independent) prohibition and so
ciallst. have a set of candidates on the

state t eket All but the prohibitionists

nnd Orcaha, Tho five party names, each
followed by a large circle, appear at the
top of the ballot In the order of their
numerical strength. The republican party,
having re-tclved a higher number of votes
nt tho 1!00 election than any other party,
heads tho list.
The law provides that In the event of
fusion between two or more pirtles, the
party names must bo bracketed and fol
lowed by a single circle, but tho supreme
court set aside this provision and required
that the democratic and people's Independ
ent parties be given separate circles at
thp head of tho ballot. Wherever there
aro two or more offices of the same kind
to be filled, as six Justices of tho pence,
for Instance, or two regents of the State
