EIectrICIty as n Motive Power.

With 1870 miles Of electric railroad in
operation In the country and $50 more in
process Of construction, the problem OF
the economical application of electricity as
motive power is far from settled. The
chief question lies between the conduit
system and the running Of cars by power
from STORED batteries. The latter method
is criticised as expensive and Ineffective
while the adoption of the former is delayed
10y the necessity of radical changes in cx
isting lines. The general use Of electricity
as a motive power is probably near at hand
But much yet remains to be done before
confidence cGn be placed in It's operation!

The marked increase of our Public
Schools is very encouraging to its pa
irons. The number enrolled in October
1886 was 44e; in October 1887, 4S4; and
in October, 1888, was 532, showing an
increase of IS in two years.
There are in the primary room IS
scholars, few more than half of whom
are properly seated. There are in fact
quite enough for two rooms.
The High School received a pleasant
call from Messrs. Will HankiDs and
Will Bartels.
Exercises were given by the second
class in rhetoricals, on last Friday.
AS feature in the program Miss Bar
ker drilled the High School in calls
themes. This will probably be repeat
ed through the term at suitable inter-
walls.
Through the patient exertions of one
of the girls of the Senior grade, a frog
was captured on last Saturday, which
was given into Professors hands on
Monday. By his genius its foot was
placed under the power Of the micro
scope in such a way that the circula-
ton of the blood was plainly seen.
Seeing the blood pass through in this
way, removed all doubt as to the cir
culation of blood.

A striking feature of the election at
lola, Tuesday, was a procession of
thirty three young men who this year
cast their first ballot for president.
They formed in line and with banners
flying and drums beating, marched
around the square and to the polls.
Each wore the regulation campaign
hat in the band of which was carried
straight republican ticket. The
banners were inscribed sour first vote"

EXECUTIVE BOARD MUST ACT.

Nothing Can be Done Until the Matter is
Placed in their Hands-POwderly Very Ill.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. st is now abso-
lutely certain that the general executive
board of the Knights of Labor will be
called together for the purpose of settling
the Reading strike. Nothing can be done
until the two district assemblies now en-
gaged-the miners and the railroad en-
ployes-cau officially upon the general
board and place the matter in their
hands. This Will probably be done
tomorrow. The meeting of the board
cannot be held for three days,
however, as it will require
that length of time ia get all of the mem
bers together. The conference will prob
ably take place next Monday. Mr.. Pow
derly's illness makes matters worse, as
the general board is concerned. He is
in much worse condition than was gem
orally supposed. Up to yesterday be had
not been In any way informed of the con-
dition of the strike, and had not even
been allowed to see the letter that was
sent him by Chairman Lee. The excite
ment attending the call of committee
brought about relapse before they ar
rived.
The feeling among the leading members
of the order outside of strikers is that
the company could win the railroad strike
by complying with the demands of the
miners without arbitration. If the com
pany should accede to the miners
terms and continue the advance rate of
wages without arbitration, the miners
would have no foundation for a strike
and would resume work.
What the proposed statement was or
whether its withdrawal is due to Mr.. Cor
bins presence in the city cannot be
learned.
