JouNsTowN men are going for the South

Ten street cars without electric wires or
any visible motive power are in operation
on the Fourth and Madison Avenue lines
in New York City. They are operated by
storage batteries and were built by the
Julien Electric company, giving such por-
feet satisfaction that ten more have Just
been ordered. Tho cars are managed by
tho men who drove tho old horse cars, as
they know best when to use the brake and
the control OF the power Is very easily
fearned, while the drivers are glad to bo
promoted TO positions moro like those of
engineers. The cars nre run in between
the horse ears on the same limo and are
gcared for speed of nine or ten miles an
hour, though they can be run much faster
Tho drst of these ten storage battery cars
has been in operation since Juno
and has run 5000 miles and car
ried over 10000 passengers with
out costing dollar for repairs The road
on which these cars are operated is In
every way suited to the operation of q
mechanical system tho track, switches,
and frogs are in many cases of an old pat
tern and are very severely worn from the
heavy trucking of n large city. There is
not the least donbt In the minds of the ofli-

storage battery system will prove cheaper
than horse traction. The weight of the car,
mounted on trucks, Is between six and
seven tons. The motors are geared direct,
one to each axle. The battery consists of
los cells, which are placed in six trays of
nine each on each side of the car these
trays are pushed into the car thrCugh tho
outside panels under the seats. A power

of emergency can be supplemented by the
reversal of the motors from tho regulator,
and the car stopped when going at fun
speed within one-half its length. Five
sixteen candle-power incandescent lamps
are used to light the ear, and warning
gong is also sounded by current from the
battery.
The strongest objections, To this device
come from the horses. They are naturally
very much startled by the spectacle of u
car rolling along by Itself, and II will TAX
some training to accustom them to it. Tho
New York horses have made very little
fuss, but then metropolitan beast must
have strong nerves to stand tho overhead
roads and all the noise of New York. To
good healthy horse, with some ability for
getting scared, car of this kind would
probably have the effect that would be
produced upon men by the spectacle of a
suit of clothes marching along with no on e
inside of them.

The forger an the detectives boarded a
