tracted more attention to that city than has
its long line of electric street railroad. In
the last Harper's Weekly Mr. Henry Loomis
Nelson speaks of it as follows:
There is street railroad in Richmond,
Va. the marvellous success of which has
greatly stimulated the adoption Of cleo
tricity as motive power in cities. II was
opened early in 1888. This road runs up
and down hill for u | 2 miles IL runs on
country roads outside the ci,y limits which
would be difficult for horses. Some portions
of the way are double and the rest single
tracked. In a distance of aboGt 900 feet
there are four grades having q, 80, 40 and
80 feet radius. These curves are o. grade
of per cent. On the whole linz there are
81 curves requiring beut rails. In one see
ton there is continuous ascent of 5000
feet, in which the grades vary from 3 TO
per cent. In another ascent Of 300 feet a
grade of 10 per cent. is encountered. One
portion of the route lies across valley with
up and down grades of from to 10 per cent.
In figure | is shown car on 10 per cent.
grade. IL is about as steep hill as is found
either in city streets or country roads. On
this road forty ears are operated by the
SpraRue overhead system. The schedule
TIM which is made by each car is u miles
an hour. Each car runs l07 miles in day
of eighteen hours. The power is furnished
from II central house by three engines of
l25 horse power each, and two Edison dy-
namos. The normal pressure of the current
developed is 800 volt.
There is another electric road which also
settles the question of the traction of cars
operated without horses or locomotives. 1t
is in Allegheny City. Penn, the "Observa-
tory Hill Passenger Railway CO. 1t is
four miles long. For one mile it is opera,-

overhead system being used for the other
three miles. There are turnouts, switches,
and "a curves on the road There is grade
of 1924 per cent. and in 1900 feet rise of
295 feet. Six passenger cars are operated
on this line, each seating twenty-five passea-
gers The weight of the motors aud cars is
FIVE tons. Each car has two Is horsepower
motors. one attached to each axle. The
power is furnished by 225 horse power
engine and by three 10 horse power Thorn
son Houston generators. The voltage is
500. single car has carried 1873 passen-
gers at the steepest grade of this road at the
rate of between Eve and six miles an hour.

An Old Landmark

The building known as the "old castle, :
which vas partially demolished by FIRE OF
Friday night, was one of the historic land
marks Of the present time in Augnstas his
tory, and believed to be the oldest, or at
least one of the oldest bnii iings in the city
1t was built in 1895 by Mr., George Crosby
Mr.. Crosby was born in Boston in 1897. and
while in Augusta was for some years
partner with William Robinson. The firm
of Robinson 4 Crosby carried on trade in
general merchandise in this building. but the
embargo OF lel5 almost ruined their BUSH
ness. From 1871 to 1914 Mr.. Crosby was a
repre- sentative to the Massachusetts, G eneral
Court from this town.
In 1914 he was chosen cashier of the old
Augusta Bank which office he held till 1889.
He Afterwards moved to Baltimore. where
he died Nov. IT, ls4s, aged 81 years. Mr..
Crosby was quite an inventor in his day, and
among his inventions was machine for
making shoe pegs, and ruling machine
which did the ruling of paper better and
more accurately than any machine ever be
fore invented.
When Mr. Cyril Searle painted his view
of Augusta in 1923. which forms the fronts
piece to North's History of Augusta, the Old
Castle WAS one Of the 50 bindings then
standing on the West side of the riyer in
