Grand Success and Revolution of

CLEVELAND, July o. The first
commercially successful electric rail
road in America was started in opera
ton in this city TO day by the East
Cleveland Street railway company,
who have just completed mile Of
road and ran cars on il to day for the
first time The experiment was so
successful that the company expect
to change their entire system com
prising over twenty miles, into cleo
trio roads. The system used was a
combustion Of the Brush and Knight
and Bentley systems, and the
current was carried on under
ground conductors laid IN con
duits like those Of cable roads.
The cars were stopped and reversed
with the greatest Of ease and without
any Of the disagreeable jerking Incl
dent TO cable short roads. The econ
omy Of running is claimed 20 be great
err than that OF cable roads and
the cost Of construction less than one
third as great. Any number Of cars
up to fifteen can be run at one time
on a single circuit and from one ma
chine which is a result not attained
by any European system now III oper-
alton The success of the new road
has made a great sensation in the
street railway and electrical circles
and is expected to greatly extend the
field Of electrical development, as well
as enhance street railway properties.

The property left by the duke of Al

large as was stated in the papers di-
rcctly after his death. a great deal
of money was spent ia various ways
during the last few months of the
dukes life; and when everything is
paid there will not be a balance of
more than 10000 at the outside, 1t
is probable, however, that portion
of The liabilities will be paid by the
queen, and her majesty is to defray a
considerable portion of the cost of the

The Origin Of the Turnpike.

Am genealogical crank has dis
covered that the name of turnpike
comes from having a pike hung across
a roadway so that no one could pass
without turning it, Toll roads were
instituted about five hundred years
ago, the FIRST one being built In En-
gland by "a monk whose selfappoint-
ed work was to guard the shrine of
St Anthony, on EIighgatc Hill Not
having much to do. he carried dirt
from the top of the hill and filled up
a deep hollow. In doing this he eN-
pended all hts fortune, bat th King
came to the rescue and published a
decree addressed to our well-beloyed
William Philippe, in which, after
approving the motives which induced
him TO benefit our people passing
through the highway between the
IIighgate and Smithheld in many
places VIGOROUSLY miry and deep, he
authorized him to set up a bar and
take toll, so that he might keep the
road in order and himself in comfort
and dignity.

democratic contemporary from the gal
liant State Of Kentucky, the Courier

"The nomination Of Grover Cleve-
land is due not SO much TO the prefer
ence Of his party as TO the general de-
mand Of the country for a candidacy
which stands for pre- ciscly the qualities

Dir. Cleveland was dominated, then,
not because he was the choice Of the
democrats. but because a lot Of dis
tinguished republicans, having been
driven from the ranks Of their own
organization by the nomination of
Blaine cried for a candidate whom they
might vote for without departing from
their republican principles or sacrificing
toe much Of their republican preju-
dices
Could there be greater folly than for

senting the majority OF the voters, to
