the reins. At his right hand is the
brake, which has a wheel instead OF a
crank. and at his left, on top OF square
box which rises from the floor. is lever:
Inside the box is the governor,
which is device for turning as mucil
or as little electricity as may be wanted
to the motor With. the lever at the top
the driver may turn on the full force OF
the batteries, little force or may turn
it off altogether. Or he may reacn
down. turn a switch and send the cur
rent in the other direction. so the motor
will prOpel the car backward.
The conductor rings the bell. the
driver turns his lever one notch ana the
ear begins to move slowly out OF the
station; another notch and it goes Iaer--
rily down the avenue until 1t reaches a
hill. Still further the lever is turned
and the car-climbs the hill as easily as
if locomotive were pushing it. r.
Some one signals TO get aboard or a
team comes dashing out of side street
and back goes the lever as easily as you
can turn your ha d. The drlyerap-
plies his brake. and the ear slows dewn
or comes TO a stop almost at once ana
without jar.
And so the round trip is made. Inc
car is under better control than morse
ear. 1t can make twelve miles an hour
if it is desired. and if it loses time by
getting into blockade it can make IL
up mucn more easily than can one
drawn by pair of horses.

ton" Is, IN effect. simply big room IN
which it houses the car, loads 1t up with
electricity, makes repairs if necessary,
etc. The plant at the station" con-
Sists principally of two Seventy-h0rse-
power steam engines and two big dy
namOs. such as generate electricity for
incandescent lights.
The current is one of low electro
motive force and will not hurt anybody.
The storage batteries won't blow I'D or
tip the car off the track. or sting any,
body to death. A man may take the
full force of the current from the dy-
namo through the ends of his fingers,
and not feel it tenth part as much as
he would that from the ordinary medical
battery.
Suppose the electrician wishes TO start
out the car. eight of the trays spoken of
are ranged on benches. on either side OF
Il bit of track in the station. on which
stands the car. Four are on either
side, and the benches are just of the
right height so that the trays may read
ily slide from them into their places
under the car seats. The engines start
I'D and the dynamOS begin to rey0ive.
The electric current which they geneT-
ate travels along wires to the tray cells
and fills them up. It's like pouring
water into a series of pals with hose.
If the batteries are empty at the out
set it will take about six hours TO fill
them. and then they will run the car
about thirty miles. bnt as there are two
sets of batteries for the car, and will be
for each one when there are more cars.
the batteries will be charged at the end
of each trip. and so it will not take long
to fill them. When the batteries are
full they are slid into their places under
the seats. the panels are closed up and
the car is ready to start.
The motors are on the car trucks.
They do not differ materially from
other well-kno8n motors, excepting

who won't get out of the way. This
bell the driver rings by touching push
button on the platform with his foot.
The current. as we'll as that for the
lights. comes from the storage batteries
which operate the motors.
These storage batteries occupy the
space under the seats. The panels on
the outside of the car. below the win
dOws. open outward on hinges and eX-
pose a place. on either side large enough
TO hold four big wooden trayS-eight in
all-each of which contain thirty-siX
cellS-Sduare boxes of hard rubber.
Each cell contains a number OF plates of
lead. arranged in positive and negative
groups. and also contain the solution"
which is nine-tenths water and one
tenth suIphuric acid.
When these trays of cells are placed
in position in the car. they are connect
ed automatically. so that all the cells in
one side of the ear constitute, in effect,
ole storage battery. Each tray, with
its contents. weighs about 500 pounds.
so that when car is ready to start it
has aboard about two tons of storage
battery.

SpirituaIists in Congress.

Washington Letter.
None in either house have aeknowi-
edged to belief in spiritualism. Yet [
know there are several men in each
branch of congress who have perfect
faith in Spiritualism and attend Seanees.
More of these are i'll the house than in
the senate. At least half dozen there
attend SpiritualiStic meetings every Sat
urday highland consult the spirits as to
temporal matters. One has a wife in
the spirit land whose advice he seeks in
most matters of interest to himself.
Others consult with distinguished dead
statesmen for guidance in public affairs.
They do not openly proclaim their faith,
and it would not do for me to disclose
their names here. but some of them are
men of ability and good balance in all
other respects. L know OF but two
senators who are Spiritualists. though
am told there are others. One of these
is a wealthy and distinguished man.
He never fails to attend a seance every
week, and whenever he is in Deed of
advice. either in public OF private af-
fairs he goes TO a medium, through
whom he believes he talks with Daniel
Webster. 1t is a great satisfaction for
him to converse thus with Mr.. Web
Ster, and he believes that he derives mar
terial benefit from following the advice
of the spirit statesman. Upon all pub
lie questions of great Importance the.
spirit of Mr.. Webster decides his posi-!
ton, and he is satisfied that he cannot
20 wrong as long as he follows such
good advice. Mr.. Webster's usual way
of communicating is to write Through
the medium) upon slate. and many of
these are preserved by him as saeaed
trophies. =

Description Of the Cars and
Methods of Propelling
Them.
The Batteries Charged For
Each Trip at the Plant
Station.

The electric car which is running on
Fourth avenue. New York city, is pro-
PEELED by an electric motor. or rather by
two of them, and the power is derived
from storage batteries. The car is
eighteen feet long from door to door.
The platforms are about four feet wide,
rather more rOOmy than those of the
standard street car, which has a sixteen
foot body, and so the total length of the
new car is about twenty-six feet.
Instead of four wheels it has eight, on
two trucks OF four each, placed well
out toward the body and attached by
''kingbolts. - just as the truck Of an Or
binary steam railroad car are attached.
This enables it to go around a short
curve easily and without Earring.
Instead OF oil lamps. The car has cleo

ter and one at either end. Over the
drivers head on either platform is big

that they are designed especially for
the work they do. They have two pairs
of brushes, " that is. the sheets of cop
per which rest on the revolving part of
the motor. and which convey electricity
to it. When the motor is reversed one
pair is thrown of automatically and the
other pair is brought into contact.
On the truck just below the motor is
counter shaft. which has a geared wheel
which engages a piniOn or little geared
wheel or the motor. 1t also has a
toothed wheel. from which runs chain
belt over tOothed wheel ON the aXles

the counter shaft through geared wheels

NIr. CIereIand's RuffaIo DAYS.

Buffalo Letter to Philadelphia Times.
MI. Cleveland lived in this community
nearly all the time he remained here
without any social life whatever. lie
was not a club man and did not mingle
in society. He slept at his law offices
and took his meals al a boarding house.
If am not mistaken at this instant or
writing. he ate in the same building
that used to be Willard FillmOre's resi-
dence and is now a first-class house for
boarderS. He took his lunch at an
ordinary restaurant and drank beer with
railroad superintendent. In fact, he
was a plain, everyday citizen III his
conduct. and kept company with those
whom he met in business intercourse.
He rather lived to himself. or in the So
ciety of men: therefore. he had no
social place in the community or III the
nation, as had Willard Fillmore. either
before OF after his executive life. II
Mr.. Cleveland returns TO Buffalo after
his years OF service as president OF the
United States he world have TO make a
new place for himself and his young
wife, as much as though he were
beginning again in town
where he had never been known.

The Eccentric Marquis de Croisic

New York Correspondence OF Philadelphia
Times.
The Marquis de CTOisic is a French
man who came into possession of
large fortune on the occasion of his
marriage with Miss Hail. the daughter
of the Philadelphia perfumer. He util-
lied a good deal of his money in build
ing an apartment house on the corner
of Fifth avenue and Twenty-siXth
street. The marquis Is man OF pleas
ant address and agreeable presence.
with a singular aptitude for ecceutrici-
ties Of all kinds. He first made himself
conspicuous by taking seven meals a
a day at DelmOnicO's i'll company with
the marQuise. and by perSiStently rub
bling and scrubbing with his napkin the
plates and glasses on the table as if to
impeach their cleanliness. 1t is said
that the head waiter. who regarded this
proceeding as a personal afrOnt, re-
mOnstrated with the marquis. assuring
him that the table service re-
quire no additional cleansing pro-
cess: but this weli-cOnveyed hint made
no difference to the marquis, who TO
this dav eats his daily seven repasts and.
wipes the plates with the utmest sang
frOid. He has still another hobby He
adOres cats. and for some time after the
completion OF his apartment house was
wont to feed sundry felineS on the roof
or the sidewalk, until finally the clever
animals. seeming the free lunch in the
atmosphere. not only came themselves
but gathered together their sisters and
their cousins and their atHlts, until
hardly enough food could be procured
To satisfy their collective appetites. But
the marquis. when he sets cut to do a
thing. accOmplishes it in true aristo-
cratic style. Mindful of the old adage
of nonlesse obIige, he sends to belmont
co.'s for refreshments suited to the cats
linical palates, and regularly ut mid
night lie can be seen standing on the
corner or the avenue surrounded by a
mewing crowd. 70 which he dispenses

The retirement of Mr.. Plankinton,
who NAV justly be called the father of
the packing business in the Northwest,
Is looked upon pretty much as the re-
mOval of a landmark. Mr.. Plankinton
is a striking figure. Tall. straight as
an arrow, with deep.dark eyes and long,
sweeping hair. a strong, determined
mouth, massive forehead and proml-
nent nose. he is little likely to be for
gotten hastily, or passed without IN
quiry as to his identity. lie Is one OF
the few millionaireS who have moved
on TO fortune without check. lie sue
ceeded always, and this without the
aid OF any friendly capitalist TO
see him through. He was far-seeing
and possessed of That rare. strange
ability which knows how to successfully
run a corner. Toward the close OF the
war he made a great deal OF money IN
selling pork. Mr.. PlankintOn was con-
sidered one of Milwaukee's wealthy
men when the war broke out. which
means that he was worth probably
quarter of a million dollars. The war
gave him his opportunity, and his
profits for army contracts rapidly
Swelled this sum until he passed safely
over the million mark. In 1864 he
formed partnership with Phil D. Ar
mOur, which gave both a worldwide
celebrity as the firm of Plankinton IL
Armour. The firm conducted large
houses in New York and Kansas City,
besides the immense business in Mil
WaUkee. until a few years ago. 1t also
embraced the Chicago house OF H. o.
Armour Il Co. The business of the
Milwaukee house in 1880 was S4.0O0,O0O,
and that of the three other houses Sl2,-
OO0.G00. Mr.. Plankinton is now worth
from S5.O00.0 to SlO.000.000.
