AN ELECTRIC MOTOR.
Successful Experiments at GreenvfIle,
81. with Mr.. DATE New Appli-
aoces.

NEW YORK, March 29.-The Times says:
Passengers on the Newark and New York
railroad have at times during the past few
weeks caught occasional glimpses in the dis
lance of an electric motor spinning along on
private track near Greenville. The motor
in question Is one which Leo Daft, the cleo
tricIan of the DAFT Electric Light Company,
has been experimenting wi b for the last
eight months, and which he now claims 10
work with satisfaction both as regards power
attained, simplicity of construction, and,
most important of all, the matter of coat.
Already Mr.. Daffs little electric rail-
road has been visited by weil-known
railroad officers and men, who have
expressed themselves as much pleased with
the working Of the motor. Among the rail-
roads whose representatives have ridden on
the road are the Psnnsy New Jersey
Central, Erie, and many Western roads.
Mr.. Daft ia now especially considering the
question of the introduction of the electric
motors upon street railroads, and q company
has been organizes at Newark under the
name OF the Daft Electric Motor Company,
with capital of $500 900, to Manufacture
motors for this purpos-- 1t ia proposed by
this company 10 experiment With the motors
on some Of the Newark street roads imnedi-
ately, with q view TO their permanent use,
and IS soon as two Of the motors can be
constructed for this purpose they will be
placed on the road. Mr.. Daft has received
an application to furnish the elevated road
at Coney Island BY the lst of June with
motor, but no contract has been made IS
yet, aud the road probably could not be
equipped for the purpose before July. Mr..
Daft has alec been negotiating with persons
in Chicago.
The railroad at the Daft Electric Lighl
Works at Greenville is about one-eighth of
a mile in length, with one very sharp curve
and with a heavy grade, and is laid ss sn

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Dorsey resumed
the stand in the Siar.route trial to-day.
Witnes. denied generally that he had ever
filed up or authorized anyone TO fill up an
affidavit in regard TO the number Of men and
animals required on q route after i. had

Ingersoll asked permission Of the Court

The Court asked if th,re was any OBJ.

allowing him 10 examine the witness upor

The question was put, and witness sale

THE SANITARY COUNCIL

NEW ORLEANS, March 2S.-The Times.

to appoint q committee to confer with the
Sanitary Association and the State and

be represented at this convention, which
premises TO be of much interest TO all the
people Of the valley, and to none of them

The Council, in the Inability Of the National
Board OF Health 10 do aught, in consequence
of the unfriendly legislation Of Congress, is
now the supreme sanitary body of the coun-

eighteen sanitary associations are now en-

MISS GREENWOOD, OF MEHPHIS,

To the Editors of the Appeal:
NEW YORK, March 26.-The Easter Sunday
concert of Her Msjesty's Opera Company, at
the Academy of Music last evening, pos
sessed peculiar interest for the resident Mem
phians of the metropolis, inasmuch as it
was the occasion Tor Miss Susie Greenwood's
debut in New York. To appear in concert
with such artists as Scalchi, MierzSinski
AID Teresa Carreno is distinction OF which
any de6tltante might well feel proud. Miss
Greenwood proved her claim % this recos-
milton by her beautiful and finished rendi-
ton of "Convien. P srter," from Donizetti's
FTslia del Reegimento, which evidenced care
full and intelligent study, and it is not too

own construction. 1t is carried TO the rails,
through which it runs, perfectly harmless
current. The motor consists of a simple pair
Of trucks as basic. Under platform above
the trucks the electrical appliances for reg
ulaiing the motor are placed, and occupy SO
small place that they are hardly noticeable
By small lever the motor is regulated in
speed and the brake is put on. There ia au-
other email lever attachment, by turning
which the weight Of the motor is practically
increased, so as TO give The adhesive power
necessary in heavy grades, and By which
grade of 40' can be sscended. A Times

the railroad is placed, nearly stumbled over =
little motor which rested on the rails, and
which weighed only $50 pounds. The same
little MOTOR afterward drew fve-ton car AT AZ

allow. Other motors, adapted especially for
. high rate OF speed, spun around the track
with load OF seven persons 30 fast as al
most to take the breath away from those
aboard and send hats flying 10 the rear.
The motor was under full control and could

OF not paving attention to the lever, was

pillow through bumper al the end Of the
road. For his electric light works, Mr.. Daft
gets his power from a ffty-horse power
steam engine, which also runs the dynamos
furnishing the current fer the electric
motors. In regard to the cost of running
cars by electricity, Mr.. Daft claimed
that he could retain seventy-fve per
cent. of the energy exerted from the
steam engine in running the dynamo, and
that he could run the motors forty per cent.
cheaper than by steam. He proposes, he
continued, to divide the line of track upon
which the electric motor shall run inte sta
| tions of twenty-five miles, at each station
being dynamo of the necessary power. On
street railways a more favorable showing
| could be made. The cost of the motor itself
would be small in comparison with stean,
| engines, and there would be no need OF re-
laying or changing the present tracks of the
| street railways, and no third rail would be
needed. The loss Of electricity in the sys.
| tenn was very small and only appreciable BY
| delicate instruments. Auy number Of mo
tors can be run independently on the same
| track.
Mr.. Daft is graduate of London Univer.
| sity, and has been working in a quiet way il
this country, not wishing to make public the
result of his experiments until practical re.
cults could be att ained.

Al EASTER TIDE

whsa, through the wilderness Of Lenten days
walked with heavy sorrow IN my soul,
Sometimes / saw beyond the leaden cloud,
Some radiant glimpse of happier light unfold.
prayed, as only shipwrecked souls can pray,
To reach some happy haven free from pain,
Where, in the sunlight OF divinest peace,
might unite my broken hopes again.
To-day hear the happy Easter bells,
Yet something mocking sounds in every tone;
The very courts of heaven would empty seem
If the sad heart was breaking and alone.
The pansy and the passion flower in vain
Tell me of hope, and beauty from the dust
Love d3ad, is dead beyond the reach of prayer;
There is no resurrection OF lost trust
/ know the daises will bloom on the same,
The orchards wear the same sweet radiant crow
And April clouds baptixe the springing grass,
And sunlight drop its golden arrows down;
The summer skies will arch above my way,
The same glad depths of tender, radiant blue,
But all the beauty Of the world is lost,
Because the faith trusted was not true.
And yet, ring on, o happy Faster bells
Heaven seems 80 near TO every trusting heart;
would not dim the sunshine OF one smile
Because at every chime my teardrops start.
Love had its Easter tide, its summer sweet,
Its glorious harvest, and its autumn time;
/ weep because when storms OF winter came,
1t fed to seek q newer, happier cline.
