Two Hundred Charles W. Gro

Two Hundred Charles W. Crosby,
~ an electrical engineer.
Miles an was telling me yester-
day of the prevalence
Hour. of schemes to run rail-
road trains by cleo
trieity. There are large number Of
railroad men who have taken the great
est interest in the idea," said he. "The
speed that could be obtained by electric
trains would seem almost incredible.
The new scheme of the electricians
proposes to draw freight and passenger
trains at a rate of from IT'S to 2O0 miles
an hour. Preparations are now being
made to make test of the new motor
as to its practicability to trunk line
traffic.
"Competent engineers declare that
there is nothing to prevent cars from
moving at that rate of speed if motive
power sufficient to drive them can be
obtained. The design proposed con-
templates car wheel five feet in diam
eter, this being over two feet greater
than the ordinary American car wheel.
With thirty-three inch wheel the rOta-
ton is CPS times q minute, and speed
of seventy miles an hour has been
obtained. With five-fOOt wheel the
rotation would have TO be increased to
but 1000 minute to attain speed of
200 miles an hour, and those who have
studied the matter say the wheel would
not he injured in the least by this great
rate of speed"
could that rate of speed be main
tanned On the lines of railroads now in
use?D .
THAT is question that has not yet
been fully decided on. The system
would in a measure be independent of
grade, and lines could therefore be laid
nearly straight and curves of small
radius avoided. The rolling stock pro-
posed is of a very much lighter charac-
ter than that now in use. One model
proposed is a low. light car, with an
electric motor driving it, being SIM
ply a development of the present
system employed ON street ears. An
other plan is to provide series of sue
cessively energiZed stationary electro
magnets Of great power. The first cost
or the permanent way would be great,
but the expense OF operating the road
would be less than that of the present
system. While some railroad men treat
this idea as chimerical, many we'll
known railway managers, engineers and
electrical journals of high reputation
predict that, ii sufficient capital is fur
nished. within five years there will be
lines in this country over which paSSen-
gers are carried at the rate of It's to 200
miles an hour. 'et.

MINNEAPOLIS.
THE SIGNAL SYSTEM ROW.
There Was. No Intention to Adver-
tise for Bids.

tISc lOr DtttSs
"The police commission has selected
the only patrol signal system which
will be adopted by Minneapolis, said
Mayor Babb emphatically when his at
tentiOn was called to the open letter
from the Brewer & Smith Visual Signal
company, which was published in the
GLOBE of yesterday. ''The law gives
the police commission full power to act
in such matters, and the council has
nothing to do with it. After a
thorough investigation the commission
selected the Municipal system because
it is the best. We did not advertise
for proposals at all, and when we in
vited the Gamewell people to put in a
bid it was not with the intention of ac-
ceptiEg their system. but only to let the
Municipal people think they had COM
petitor and to make them put the price
down to the lowest possible notch. As
for the Visual system, we wouldn't ac-
cept it If they put it in for nothing. All
they want is little cheap advertising"
K. l.. Penney, the Minneapolis attor-
ney for the Visual Signal company, says
that Commissioner Guile promised him
that his company would have chance
to bid for the introduction of their syS-
tenn, but that no notice was ever given
him, and that the only information he
had on the subject was the accounts
published in the newspapers of the fact
that the contract had been awarded to
the Municipal company for S17,0 900.

THE whole world is not bonding
with any great alacrity to the gushing
call of TALMAGR for aid in rebuilding
his church. As the insurance came
within $685. 900 of the loss and the build
ing could be replaced with the money,
and the congregation is the largest and
one of the wealthiest in the country.
and as TALMAGE is said to average over
81 minute for all his talking and pray
ing in The pulpit and lectures, there is
believed to be quite as much charity in
sending the money to the settlers who
are destitute out on the prairies.

with two-thirds of the voters. 1t does
not appear as If there were any early
prospect that the Mormons could be out

outside Of Utah, mostly in the neighbor-

conceded to be moral, quiet and inof-

ONE Of the complications growing
out of the MALONE effort to make the
negro vote solid in Virginia is rather
peculiar. Every colored man votes as
he chooses in that state, provided, of
course, he chooses as the utilized negro
preachers and boycOtting women de-
mand. The activity and feminine bull
doing of the DGNAHs has provoked a
movement in Richmond to substitute
white nurses for the colored. Agents
are to be sent South to induce white
women to come aud take the places in
white families now almost entirely held
by negro nurses.
