The great Impediment to the development
of better and safer track at this time wss
that the Iron Industry had not been de
veloped to a point where any but short
lengths of rail could be furnished. It was
not until lS'JO that malleable iron rails
came into use. These were rolled and
were made In'lengths of from fifteen to
seventeen feet and weighed twenty-eight
pounds to the yard. They were of the
edge-rail, fish-belly type, and were held In
place by pedestaJs or chairs fastened to the
ties or to stone supports.
The usual width of the old tramroada
practically determined the present gauge
of railway track. The distance from out
aide to outside of ths old cart wheels was
usually five feet. The introduction of the
edge-rail, one and three-quarter inches
wide, and the placing of flanges on the
Inside of the cart wheels gave a gauge
width of four feet, eight and one-half
Inches, the present standard. -)Mter
a long unsatisfactory experience
wilth the vartoua kinds of roadways and
lllfferent types of rails, all American roads
were quick to adopt the "T ' rails devised
by Colonel Robert L. Btevens. president of
the Camden Amboy railroad in 1S30.
Colonel Stevens' Idea Involved a rail hav
ing a head similar to that of the edge
rails in use, but with a wide, flat base
to the web, which he proposed to secure
i the supporting blocks or rrossttes by
"ok-headed spikes. There was no roiling

rangements, but lu 1K31 the first 6m) rails,

den & Amboy railroad. The rails were at
first laid upon stone blocks, having their
ends secured to each other by Iron tongues
riveted through the stem of the rail. Sub
sequently, the weight of the rails waa In
creased to forty-two pounds per yard, and
they were laid on wooden cross-ties and
connected with fish-plates and fastened
to the ties with houk-heuded spikes. Mr.
Stevens was the inventor of both the fish
plates and the spikes.
Further development in railroad construc
tion consisted simply in improving on the
general Ideas In use at this date and in
substituting steel for iron- and wood wher
ever practicable.
The name, "Tramway," la used at the
present day in referring to metropolitan
street rsilways devoted to a passengur
carrying business.
The first street-railway in the United
States was put in operation in 1S32 in New
York City. It ran up Fourth avenue from
Prince street to Harlem, and was, of
course, operated as a horse car yne. Ths
next line was built in Boston in lKM, but
It was not until m: that street railways
came into general use.
Then came the cable line. The first prac
tical adaptation of this idea waa made In
San Francisco by Mr. Hallldie, who. in
167.'. opened the Clay street cable line. The
system was adopted In Chicago about ten
years later, and about the same time was
applied to the working of the Brooklyn
bridge traffic in New York.
The electric line succeeded the cable line.
The first electric street railway is said to
have been auccessfully experimented with
at Springfield. Mas , In the early H'i, but

Tabloid History
Qeorge Washington at the conclusion of
his second term as president attended the
inauguration of his successor, John AcIhius,
on March 4, 17!7, and then retired to Vir
ginia. John Adams, who as second presi
dent of the United States thus ushered in
the. third presidential administration, had
served as vice president during both of
Washington's terms.
Adams secured the federal candidacy
over Hamilton largely because ho com
manded the indispensable New Kngland
vote.
The result of the election show-Pd 71
votes for John Adams, 68 for Jefferson. M
for Pinckney, 3ft for Burr, 15 for Samuel
Adams and the rest scattering. Adams hnd
only three more electoral votes than Jef
ferson, who thus secured the second place
as vice president. This mennt a federal
president with a republican vice president.
John Adams served through a stormy
time. Kngland and France were fighting
each other and lost no chance to Insult
the new and feeble United States. France
claimed that our treaty with It obligated
us to support It and aid In the defense nf
the French West Indies. Washington had
Insisted on strict neutrality and Adams fol
lowed him.
The French government permitted depre
dations to be committed on American com
merce and ordered our minister. Mr. Pincfc
ney, to leave France. President Arams
Immediately convened congress to consider
these outrages. Three envoy were sent
to France, but they were not received.
London Crooks Steal American iMcks
Kngllsh confidence men do oceanlonally
find an American easy mark and get
away It. A recent cae in a Ixmdon court
developed these facts:
A Mr. Malley. after a visit to Ireland,
arrived In Txndon, Intending to spend a
few days before returning to America, At
Euston station a well dressed young man
accosted Malley and asked lilm the way to
a certain place In the city. Malley said
that he was a stranger himself and was
looking for lodgings. '
The well dressed young man thereupon
said his name was Corley and took Malley
to a house. Mr. Malley chatted freely
about himself, and Mr. Corley in his turn
said that he was a cattle man from Aus
tralia spending a few days in Ixmdon.
On Monday Corley called upon Malley and
the two started off to see Buckingham
palace. On the way they saw a man in
front nf them drop his pocketbook.
After that it was the old, old story. Cor
ley restored the pocketbook to the stranger,
who thanked him profusely, started a con
versation and aald his name waa ratrlck
O'Brien. Mr. O'Brien confided to Messrs.
Malley and Corley that he had just Inher
ited (100,000 and pulled out a big wallet,
which he sad contained tw.000. He de
clared that In return for the honesty dis
played by Malley and Corley in returning
him his pocketbook he would make them
agents fur the distribution of money to
the poor of their respective countries.
Mr. O'Brien then suggested a drink an I
the trio mad for a publla house. Here
O'Brien handed over to Corley what looked

This insult excited Indignation throughout
the country, which was at once put In a
state of defense by congress authorizing a
standing army and a naval armament.
Hostilities by sea commenced and the Re
dded stand taken by the Americans led to
overtures which resulteij In a treaty of
peace in 1800.
Toward the close of Adams' administra
tion a fierce struggle took place between
the two great political parties, federal and
republican. When the electoral votes were
counted no candidate had the required
majority. The election, therefore, went ta
the house of representatives, by whom
JefferBon was chosen president.

be put to In distributing Mr. O'Brien's
charity. At the same time he suggested
that Corley should prove his trust by al
lowing Mr. O'Brien to hold his money for
a moment.
Corley consented without hesitation.
O'Brien received the monew, and even dis
appeared for a moment. He returned like
an honest man, much touched by the con
fldence placed In him. He should give a
similar proof of his confidence and Malley
