HE nrst of the new electric loco-. T motives constructed for the New . York Central railroad was sub Jected to speed trials at Behncc. tady,-N. Y., Saturday, November' J 2, In the presence of a representative body of railroad men and electricians. An ac count of the affair In the New York Herald ays: The mist exciting; part of the program was a race between the electric locomotive end three steam engines, and the ease with which the new engine beat the others was the greatest surprise of the day. The electric locomotive, with the train of cai a attached, and two steam engines, wlih no weight to draw, were run' to the head of the course near Hardin's Crossing: and laid over there to wait for the New Yorker, one of the fastest trains of the Central railroad. The steam engines were allowed some distance in which to get un der headway and the electrlo locomotive started from a dead stop as the New Yorker swung by. The engines began to spurt neck end, neck. Owing to the fact that the others had a flying start, the electrlo locomotive was greatly handicapped, but it picked up peed with wonderful quickness, and be fore a mile of track had been traversed it was running more than sixty miles aa hour and was on even terms with the other trains. 80 fast did It gain from this point that It was necessary to slow up in order to let the others catch it and make the race more exciting. 1. then dashed ahead at a speed of nearly seventy miles an hour and easily showed Its superiority to the steam engines. The air was filled with smoke from the locomotives, as the engine drivers put on ' full steam In an effort to beat their for midable rival, and as they dashed around the curve at the substation they were almost hidden from view About 100 of the visitors who had collected about the sub station to witness the race took' off their hats and cheered as the contestants swept by. Another pretty race was between the elec tric motors and the New York Central en. gine Mohawk. It' was the closest of the day, Nina heavy cars were attached to the electric locomotive, while the Mohawk was run alone. For the first two miles neither could gain, but as the racers reared the substations the electric loco motive slowly pulled ahead and gained so rapidly that despite the heavy train be- hlnd it the steam engine gave up the race after another-mile had been run. According to the figures taken of the run a rat' of more than fifty-five miles was reached while the electrlo locomotive was attached to a 600-ton train, and when -m- km .nrt -10-ton trains tha speed attained was nearly seventy miles an hour. With the short stretch at the service of tfae company for the tests this Is considered more than satisfactory.

A batch of several patents has been Is- ,ued b th Unl.ted St,"pat,?"t 0" n Hewitt and two of the engineers associ ated with him In experiments and develop ment; vis. Dr. Max von Recklinghausen and Mr. Percy H. Thomas. Some of ths applications are of old date, and the fea tures in each patent may therefore be deemed to have become a part of the liv ing art. Mr. Hewitt's two patents relate respectively to the use of radioactive ma terials with his lamps, in one Instance his object being moreover to reduce the initial resistance to starting what appears around the negative electrode and In- the other to claim the "method of starting a gas or !!,ect!

Sir Ernest has the direction of his majesty's private financial matters and looks after the invest ments of the king, which are far from small and which are scattered pretty well all over the world. It is said that the king is a consider able holder of Omaha property, but this is not definitely known, because the investments made for the king are not carried in his name. It is certain, though, that Sir Horace Pluukett, who Is a very near friend of (he king, is a heavy holder of Omaha property. The Distinguished Party En Route The visit of Sir Edward Cassell to Omaha was decidedly brief and he had no time for a tie tailed examination of the city. He statetl that his visit to the west, for the first time, is purely one for pleasure and to .look over the country. It is his second trip to the United States, he having visited New York some twenty-four years ago. It is said that his present trip to this country is in connection with an en terprise dear to Hie heart of the khedive, and which is destined to revolutionize travel on, the Nile. It is nothing more nor less than the es tablishment on the banks of the Nile of a sys tem of trolley motors for the towing of barges and dahabeahs. This will relieve enormously the traffic of the railroad to upper Egypt and will at the same time enable the conveyance of passengers and freight in one-tenth of the time hitherto required to dispatch them by water, steamboat traffic being much restricted. At the present time barges and dahabeahs take an unconscionable .time beating their way up paclty of 156,000 horse power, the actual output oeing aouui iio.vw eieuiricui nurse power.

This would be obviated by means of a towpath with a trolley motor in lieu of the traditional mule. The khedive al ready has promised every facility, as well as a large subscription fiom his privy puise, and it is understood that Sir Ernest, who lias obtained (he approval of the English government to. the scheme, is here with the object of interesting American capital in the project. Sir Ernest is as conspicuous on the turf aud in the hunting field as in finance, and is one of the most notable members of the famous ljuorn Hunt. Since the death of Ids wife, who was a Miss Maxwell, and the marriage of his daughter to "Wilfred Ashley, the honors of his various houses are done by his maidtn sister. Philanthropist as Well as Financier At the head of the party of whom Sir Ernest Cassell is a member on this journey across the continent, is Jacob Henry Schiff, the great XewsYork financier. Mr. Schiff is a mem ber of the important banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., and is a director in many of the great railroad companies of the country, among them the Burlington and the Union Pacific. He has frequently visited the west in connection with his firm's affairs. Mr. Schiff is known far and wide for his philanthropies bearing the burden by his liberal contributions of no small number of charitable inxtitutious. not only in New York City, but also in other places. He has devoted what to others would be a big for tune to his favorite charities, of various kinds and always with the same care and discrimina tion that he applies to business affairs. Neither of these two members of the party showed any willingness to pose for a photo graph, but The Bee's snapshot camera caught them in the characteristic attitude here shown. in the recently issued annual statements Is enougn 10 interest any railway omciai ill any question promising cheaper motive power.
