ELEVATED ROAD OK BROADWAY.
When the Doodle aldermen sold the fran
chise Of surface railway on Broadway to
the late Jake sharp all Gotham rose up and
Wept for the tribulatiOn that meant the
spelling Of the great thoroughfare. A worse
fate is projected for the famous street. The
Rapid Transit Gable Company proposes
provided the necessary franchise can be OBJ
tanned. to run an elevated cable road on
Broadway The company claims that by
their system trains can be run with absolute
fety. economy and at highef average
rate Of speed than that Of the elevated roads
The objection Of properly ewncrs and
others that an elevated structure on Broad
way would darkcn the street is answered 10y
the statement that 10y their plan the tracks
would be laid on a very light but strong
structure and without ties, cross pieces be-
ing placed only where the rails joined, thus
doing away with the chief obstruction TO
light. II is proposed 10 run the trains at q
speed of from twenty to thirty miles an
hour something that has never yet been at
tempted by cable roaC, twelve miles be-
ing the maximum speed now
in practical use. The grip which
the new company will use Is an in
tercsting piece Of mechanism, consisting Of
an endless chain Of clamps, lined with
leather, which will reyOlye until the speed
Of the train equals that Of the cable, thus
obyiating the friction which, in the system
now in use. has proved so destructive TO
cables. Another novel feature Of the motor
will be the storing Of compressed air in
tanks provided for the purpose by the reNO-
luton of the wheels on the car driving the
pumps Of the air compressor. This Will
give power 10 switch the cars, work the
brakes, etc. The tracks will be laid at
uniform height above the street, as
grades will be of no consequence.
duplicate cable Will be laid, tO
which trains can be translerredin less than
five minutes, IN case Of accident. The new
company aspres to the introduction of its
system on ,he elevated roads, and they
claim that by its adoption the Manhattan
Company would save over $SOOVOO year
i'm addition 10 providing better and safer
service TO the public. Mr.. Robert VI. Gala
w9v. Vice-p:esdent Of the Manhattan Ele-
vated Railroad Company, is one Of the
directors i'm the new concern. but he denies
that the Manhattan Company contemplates
changing It's motors.

No DANGER or A FEVER EPIDEMIC.
The health department say there is no
danger Of an epidemic of typhus fever. The
board is using every possible precautiOn 10
nip the disease in the bud, and whenever
