Practical for Surface Ranroad..

A very important improvement in the
street railway business has been invent
ed by Captain NJ. A. Cutter, of Ale
gheny. 1t is an appliance attached to
the car for throwing a switch, and
which can be handled by the grip man
or motor man without compelling him
TO stop or get out Of the car. The car
can be going at full speed and make a
switch without slowing up OF causing
any Inconvenience to the man who
throws the switch The continuance is
a very simple and inexpensive one.
Another Improvement which Mr.. Cut
ter has made is In the running gears.
By touching a lever the entire car can
be swung around upon the wheels and
started backward There is, conse-
quently, but one motor needed for each
car, and in this way the cost Of equip
ping a single car is reduced to about
one-hah A brake has also been In
vented by Mr.. Cutter by which the a
may be held while being reversed

by kicking individually and collectively
against everything.
Before they proceeded to carry the plot
into execution the ringleader of the con-
