Yerkes, the great north aud west side
street railway msgnate of Chicago,is still
ex perimenting with his gas motor, here,
tOfore alluded to in the ARGUS, with view
of using it on his cross town lines In con-
nec,ion with his cable road. 1t is some-
what different from the oil motor exper-
imented with by MIR. G. B. Holmes on the
south side, and the Chicago Inter Ocean
saws of it:
The new street Car motor which has
been in use on West Like street from
Western avenue to Fortieth street, made
its first trip down town yesterday. Leav-
ing Western avenue at / 80 O'Clock it
reached State street at 2:15. The motor
is Il small gas engine which is fed by
naptha in small tank overhead, and re-
gu ring filing in the morning, at noon
and in ihe evening. IL has the power to
drs W one car at the rate of twenty miles
an hour, and can draw two cars at lit
tie less speed. The trip was a success
until it came to the heavy grade at Lake
street bridge on the return trip. and there
it slipped wheel and had to be pulled
OVER the bridge to the other side by
horses. The machinery was soon put in
order again and the trip resumed to For
tielh street. The motor will be given q
Trial every day. and any defects will be
remedied as soon as discovered. 1t is

River Ripiets.

The White Eagle brought up an excur-
sion party of two hun dred yesterday from
New Boston and Keithsburg.
Capt. Geo. Lamont, of the Libbie Con-
ger. claims that yesterdays collision OF
his boat with the draw of Rock Island
bridge was due wholly to the fact that the
draw was slow in opening and that while
hat was caused by the dredge boat being
n the way, it should have been kept out
Of there. He praises Pilot Ruby for his
skill at the critical moment. which, he
says, saved the boat from destruction. and
lie further states that if the Libbie had
been large she would have been sunk
anyway. Capt. Lamont called upon Col
Whittemore this morning and lad the
facts formally before him.
VIM. Carroll. second mate on the
packet Mary Morton, was shot by col.
Ored rouster while the boat was loading
OF the st. Louis leyee Monday evening
The negro approached Carroll while he
had his back turned. and fired deadly
charge into his back, without even letting
the mate know of his presence on the
boat. The negro was not employed on
tie boat but had just stepped on board
apparently for the purpose of killing the
nate. After firing the shot be ran
across the whsrfbost. alongside of which
the steamer was moo-ed, through a crowd
composed of rousters and others, making
his way to the levee where he disap-
peared. He held the revolver in his
hand until safely through the crowd, ap>
psrently ready to use it on anyone who
sh ould attempt 10 intercept his progress.
After getting through the crowd he
pocketed the revolver as he ran. The
cause is supposed to BE- previous diff.
Guilty with the mate. CAROLS wound is
thought to be mortal. The mate lived at
Dubuque, and was well known all along
the river. He is in the st. Louis marine

Helping the Donkey.

The late Emperor Frederick, when he wa.
crown prince, while walking in the woods
near the palace at Pottsdam one morning.
perceived an old milk woman who was pound
ing the ass attached to her milk wagon and
talking in an excited tone to the balky
animal
whats the matter, my good woman :.
asked the prince.
Il am in a great hurry to serve my Gus
toners with milk, replied the old woman,
who did not know the prince, ''and this &C
cursed brute refuses to bulge: but if YOU
would be kind enough 10 pull him by the
ears while warm him up behind with this
club he viii go right along"
The good natured prince seized tie animal
by the ears and tugged away while the old
woman mauled the brute with her cudgel
Sure enough the donkey trotted on, much to
the JOY of the woman.
When the prince told his mother about 1t
she rebuked him for being so familiar with
the lower orders, whereupon the prince
laughingly replied: MY father has helped
many donkey along at court."-St. Louis

A NEW EXPRESS ORDER.

The Amertcan's Improved Method Of
7,ransmittiBg Meney--.lrs Quick,
safe and simple.
The express money order system which
has become SO popular throughout the
country was introduced by the American
Express company. 1t is now eight years
since the company inaugurated a system
of money orders 80 far>reaching and so
simple, as well as safe. that it at once
commanded the liberal support of every
firm. corporation. publisher or individual,
who took the trouble TO examine into its
workings. Since its Inauguration,
March 4, 1882. the sale of orders has
reached the enormous sum of over $780,
100000 With an unprecedented growth
in the business from year to year, the
company has kept pace with the wants of
the public by improving and simplifying
its system as occasion required, and the
latest and improved form of the Ameri>
can company is far ahead of anything of
the kind yet issued.
The sample received by j. F. Nc
Kibben, the wideawake local agent of
the company. corresponds in size to that
OF bank drafts and checks. and
the name of the payee, where
payable. and the name of remitter. now
appear on the face of the order. The
exact date of issue is now written on the
face of the order instead of the month of
issue, which on the old form was indi-
Gated by separation of dates on right
hand margin. Provision has been made
for inserting the amount in the money of
foreign countries when orders are drawn
payable in Europe. thus insuring pay
ment of full value of orders
The receipt given purchasers Of ord
ers to secure them against loss has been
enlarged, hence is more convenient for
fling. No change has been made in the
marginal figures indicating exact value of
order. This feature of the company's
orders deserves special mention, since il
Is unlike the usual form of drafts, checks,
postoffice orders and the orders of some
of the other express companies, none of
which afford absolute protection against
raising or counterfeiting. The company
is fully protected in the use of these very
ingenious marginal figures under letters
patent granted to NJ. F. Berry, its gen.
eral agent in New York, who invented
the new form of order.
