A NIILLIONAIRE's SNAP.
He Has Rights in Electric Street
Car Patents

SPRINGFIELD, o., Dec. 29.-Rumors
in reference to patents being received
by Hon. o. S. Kelly, covering the entire
electric street car system now in gener-
al use, have caused a vast amount of
speculation here in Mr.. Kelly's
home. By the decision of the supreme
court OF the District Of Columbia
and by the receipt of letters
patent on Dec ID last, Mr. Kelly,
it is claimed, legally becomes poSessOr
of all the features. appliances and his
principles used in the electric street car
system manufactured by the Thomson
Houston company, and all others.
Mr.. Kelly said today that he met
George II. Green, of Kalamazoo, Mich,
the inventor, here in 1888, and took an
interest in the system, with the agree
ment that Kelly, who is a millionaire,
was to pay all expenses of prosecution.
Green's application for a patent was
made in 1889, and when Kelly joined it
was lying suspended in the patent
Office because application had not been
made in the regular red-tape manner
prescribed, Green not having money.
In 1886 Justice Fields nephew got out
a patent on an electric railway system,
and in 1889 patent officials ruled out
Mr.. Kelly's interference, holding that
he must file new application. The
1879 application was kept alive and
finally rejected. The case was carried
TO the supreme court last August. and
that body decided in favor of the plaint-
ifs, and consequently the patent was
issued
