Mr.. 7. C, II. Vance, of the United States Elec-

convincing display of the beauty and lbrilliancy

that the electric light can be made to take the
place of gas in all kinds of lighting, whether of
factories, stores or dwellings. These Maxim
incandeseent lamps are of twenty-five candle
power, and can he furnished as cheapIy as gas.
The light Is about equal TO that of two of the

as the MONDAY sun. The Maxim incandescent
light Is in use by the Hoffman House. in New

Jersey ferry boats of the Pennsylvania railroad.
The New York and Philadelphia postoffices are
also lighted with this light and have been for

The Street-Car Company Proposes to Block

The Citizens Street Railway Company has al

Washington street, from Illinois street half q
block east, which they propose to use as a switch
for their transfer car and for extra cars during
State fairs, encampmente, circus days, and on
similar occasions. The property holders in the

A NEW USE FOR PAPER.
How 1t Is Employed by the American
Paper Pulley Company-A
Novel Industry.
No More Broken Pulieys to Sell for Scrap,
or POOrIy-Baianced Pulleys to Rack
Line and Countershaft.

A new and important industry has recently
been started In this city by the American Paper
Pulley Company, at Nos. ia and 116 South
Pennsylvania street. The successful application
OF paper to the manufacture of car-wheels indi-
Gated that 1t might be advantageously used in
other appliances where iron had hitherto been
exclusively employed. The suggestion wac Pc
cularly happy in respect to pulleys, as the Amer.
lean Paper Pulley Company has successfully
demonstrated. the company now makes two
styles Of pulleys-one with disk or body of
paper, with hub of cast iron and rim of
wrought iron; the other with paper-edge face,
being all paper except the hub. which is of iron.
The paper used is cloth and cardboard paper
in thin sheets, which are thoroughly saturated
with cement and then put together under n.y.
draulic pressure, the disc being made by the
same process employed by the Allen Paper Car
wheel Company.
The advantages of the paper pulley are numer-
GUS They are stronger, lighter and cheaper than
cast-ir0n wooden pulleys Being from one-third
to one-half lighter than iron they can be run
with safety at higher rate of speed, transmit
ting the same power with lighter shafting and
Fighter hangers.
They are stronger and more durable: ~ In
the absence of shrinkage strains to which cast
pulleys are subject (2) To the even bearing of
the rims on the discs, there being no weak or
yielding spaces as in a pulley having arms sup
porting the rims. ~ The rims are not fragile
ana easily broken as in cast iron
These puleys are designed for any and all
classes OF work. hut especially recommend them
selves to mill furnishers, millers, woodworkers
and machinists
The point that especially commends the paper
pulley is that the paper face by reason of frie-
lion ON the belt, prevents the belt from slipping,
and thus 25 per cent. of the power OF the engine.
otherwise lost, is saved. And this result is OBJ
tanned with a looser belt than can be run on any
other pulley

road 1.-THE latter gentleman turns the scale at 226
pounds, met in this CITY and concluded TO vary
the monotony of railroad travel by buggy ride.
They selected light little three-quarter buggy
of the Columbus Buggy Company's make, and
behind rapid young horse, started out upon
the boulevard. The horse, being of an inquisi-
tive disposition, after going short distance
looked round to see what sort of load hs had
behind him, and when he did see became fright
eDed and ran away. The two gentlemen were
thrown our, bnt with admirable presence of
mind IL occurred to Mr.. Burgess 10 sit down
upon the horse, which he did at the risk of
snOlhering the animal. Strange to say, the
springs and every part OF the buggy stood the
shock and strain admirably, and taken alto
getherIt was superb showing OF the excellent
quality and durability of the work turned out
by the Columbus Buggy Company.

Mrs. Lonynecker Wants a Pardon.

Female Reformatory for life, has fled with the
Governor q certified copy of document show

his death. The woman still protests that she is
innocent of the charge, an3 that the officials of
the Female Reformatory have united in recon-
mending her pardon.
