The Proper Changes.

Important changes are to occur in the
running of trains on the Racine s. South
western division Of the c.. NJ. & St. P.
next Sunday. After that date the morn
ing express will leave about 100 and
Capt. Fuller's train instead of running
between Rock Island and Savanna, will
run through to Freeport, arriving in
Rock Island and departing at the same
time as now-that is at II :05 a. m. and
g p. m. respectively. This is move
that Division Supt. Wright has been
working for ever since he assumed
charge of the division and it is probable
that the company will not regret making
it. 1t is gratifying to know that the
Milwaukee folks have renewed their in
terest on this division and we are glad to
note the signs of new life thus displayed.
1t Is only necessary now to restore the
night express to get the train service at
Rock Island what it used to be. The
change is good one, too, as it gives the
corpulent Capt. Tom Fuller chance to
spread himself over more territory. 1t
is rather rough on man of his size to
restrict him to fifty-six miles of road an
he can't stand it. Fuller will now have
his home at Freeport, which Is also the
home of his engineer, Lou McGovern.

The lightning yesterday rendered the
electric n otor of the ARGUS useless for a
time, and they had to grind portion of
their edit on off by hand. - Union.
This is what the ARGUS gets for calling
its muscular power into effect in order to
do the Union a favor. The morn
ing paper being impatient to get the
news of the day before the ARGUS car
riers get around, has been in the habit of
sending its devil for copy of the
paper as soon as it is struck of. Yester-
day, owing to the effect of lightning on
the wires between the Office and power
station, il was delayed Few minutes. The
Union boy came IN the interim and in
order to accommodate him a couple of
copies we're struck off by hand. The
Unions devil reported this fact to head
quarters and the above is the result. The
ARGUS was printed by electricity last
night as usual all the same, and was not
more than fifteen minutes behind time,

ELECTRIC RAILWAY.

Grave Objections 60 the Troliy svs.
tem--Investigations to be Made BE.
fore Practical Usage IL Assured.
When President Holmes of the tri-city
street railway system was last in Rock
Island, he said in reply to an inquiry from
the writer as to whether the system, of
which he is the official head, had deter
mined about its motive power for its local
plant: Il think for the present at least,
we had better trust to horses and mules
There are as yet serious complications
with regard to electricity that only prsc-
teal street railway men know about, that
must be obviated before we can use it on
! a system such as ours. As soon as a mo-
tive system other than animals is estab-
lished as practicable for our purposes
our patrons here shall have the benefit
of it."
Mr.. Holmes, it seems, was right, and
the probabilities are that he knows of
even stronger objections than those he
cited. TIE system in vogue in Daven-
port has its unpopular and seriously OBJ
jectionable features.
The question of the advantage of the
single or double trolley system for cleo
trio cars is attracting much attention in
Des Moines. The telephone people there
say that the present system has practi-
cally ruined a large part of their tele.
phone service. That a number of sub.
scribers have given up the phone since
they are really useless. 1t is claimed,
says the Register, that the double trolley
system would obviate the trouble as we'll
as remove the danger of accident which
exists with the single trolley system. The
people Of Davenport living or having
business on Brady street have expert
enced some trouble with their telephones
on account of the electric system here.
The Cincinnati Times Star discussing
the question as it is of interest to that
city, said in a recent issue:
A single trolley system is constant
menace to human life. To touch its wire
is death Scattering its current in the
ground along the rails means constant
interference with the wires of both
the fire and police departments. and
the paralysis of all other electric
wires in the neighborhood, The tele>
phone service OF Akron, o.. has been
practically ruined by it. A dozen an
nunciators in the Akron exchange are
often thrown down at once by the current
scattered by the electric railroad. The
police and fire alarm wires similarly suffer
here unless the proposed system is
changed, and this change can easily be
made at a comparatively small cost. A
double trolley system, such as the Kerper
line on Walnut Hills and as the line to
Cumminsville will be, would make diff
ference in the cost of the Mt. Auburn
electric roads of but few hundred dol
lars. and would cause but slight delay
in the beginning of business. A double
trolley system obvistes all difficulties
from induction and is as independent of
all telegraph, telephone. fire or police
wires and, compared with the single troll
ley line, as harmless as a cotton clothes
line. This is matter which directly
concerns the public. The municipal
authority should at once interest them
selves and avert the threatened danger.
