| SMALL FIREs.-About $3.50 P NJ yesterday
an alarm of fire was sounded by the water
works whistle, which signalled box %
Thirteenth and J streets. There was no
alarm given by the big bell nor by the
| engine house gongs, and the fremen
naturally concluded, without waiting at
their houses to count the whistles after
hitching up, that the fire must be near the
water works, and they fastened in that
direction. After n while they were in
formed of their mistake, and then hurried
to Thirteenth and J streets, only to find
that there was no fire there. The explana.
ton of the matter was subsequently arrived
| at. Children at the residence of Charles
Gutter, L street, between Twelfth and
Thirteenth, had accidentally set the kitchen
on fire. f. H. l.. Weber, whose store is in
the immediate vicinity, hastily telephoned
to the station house, the officer in charge
conveyed the Information to the water
works and an alarm was given for Thir-
tenth and J streets. There is box at the
State Printing Office, a block and half
from the scene of the fire. which should
have been utilized to give the alarm. The
damage by the fire was about $50. Yes

THE DAFT ELECTRIC MoToR-G. w.
Carey, Superintendent of the City Railway
Company, says that in few weeks the
horses will be supplanted by what is called
the Daft electric motor. The engine, as it
is called, weighs 800 pounds, and as it has
to be placed on the platform with the
driver, it will necessitate the changing of
the trucks on all the cars. Instead of the
closed-front platform, it will be open and
provided with six seats for passengers and
the engineer. A private letter to Mr.. Carey
from New York says: Experiments have
been going on for some time with the new
electric motor, and we are now convinced
that we have what every one desires, and
will in few months displace all the horses
on street-railway lines throughout the
! United States. We have been experiment.
ing with our motor in every conceivable
manner, so as to overcome every objection,
and at the same time give strength, speed
and power which can be easily controlled.
Every night, after the trains have stopped
running, the motor glides silently over the
| track, with rate of speed entirely under
the control of the conductor. He can go
seven miles an hour, or seventy, should he
so desire.
