Rights Of Passengers in England.

A short time ago a man attempted to
board one of the elevators or lifts" as they
are called in England, which carry passen-
gers to and from the London Electric Under
ground. Railway after it had begun the
ascent. The consequence was that he was
carried up a short distance when he came
into contact with the cross beam, and his
head was cut off. The comments of the En-
glish press on the accident are especially
instructive in SO far as they indi-
cate the difference of the light in
which the railway passenger is re-
garded in America and in England. The
first point on which it Is insisted that the
public safety and convenience shall be con-
ceive definite orders not to attempt to carry
more than the prescribed number of passen-
gers" all crowding being prevented by this
restriction in English cars. The second
point is that "the employees shall no longer
be permitted to rush passengers from the
lifts into the trains and vice versa"
"The American does not take the injunc-
ton to hurry Ur' unkindly, but this is how
it strikes the Englishnlan." The manner
in which the employees sometimes unduly
hasten passengers would, we imagine, not
be tolerated on any other railway. To be
told in gruff tones to "hurry up, train now
ceived by any body, and the consequence is
a frequent race for both trains and lifts, the
scene sometimes resembling the running of
boys after fire engine in the streets. There
is not the slightest necessity for this state
of affairs; those passengers who are not car
ried by one train can be conveyed by an
other, and the same with the lifts"

Rapid Transit in the Air.

Prof. Trowbridge, in a recent article on
flying machines, shows the directions in
which O solution of the problem may possi-
bly, be found. OF the two methods suggested,
one is the so-calle1 telpherage system, used
in England for the purpose of transporting
small packages on q kind of aerial railway.
An electric motor runs on a species of ele-
waited railway at great speed, and since the
railway can be practically an air line, the
serious objections of deep cuttings, tunnel
ing and sharp curves can be avoided.
Another mode of aerial locomotion is the
employment of air ships. suitable balloon
could be made and provided with an electric
motor, properly fitted with screws,
vanes and rudder, and powerful
current could be led to the motor
by means of trolley wires, which slip, or the
ends of which run along elevated wires,
such as those now used in certain double
trolley electric railroads. Such air ship
would be equivalent to an aerial electric
railway line, with this advantage, however,
that it could travel through space un-
hampered by conditions of stability or road
way or limitations of curves or gradients.
Another direction in which continued i'm
provements might open out new possibili-
ties of flying by means of electricity is the
production of a comparatively light storage
battery. With this, and q reduction in the
weight of the electric motto far beyond
what we now conceive to he possible, an
app eciable stride will have been taken
toward the solution of one of the leading
problems of the age, flight by electric motive
power.

Safety in Theaters.

A very interesting pamphlet has been pub
nshed in France, which treaties of Crushes
and Crowds in Theaters in Cases OF Fire or
Fright" The author of the work, NJ. Rene
Resuche, gives some suggestive figures of the
numerous fires, amounting to 3s in 1889 and
so in 1890, in theaters in various parts of the
world, together with table of the total re-
ceipts from the theaters of Paris which shows
that although there has been n steady rise
in receipts excepting in the war years),
from 1s4S to 1854, yet in 1885 accounts were
everywhere current of several very disaS-
trOus fires, and since then, even during the
exhibition year, the receipts have been
going down till now there is a deficit of
nearly $4, 600 600 from the calculated average.
NJ Resuche gives his reasons for believing
that this is almost entirely due to the fear OF
fire which has been gradually increasing in
the public mind. The remedy which he
suggests consists in movable doors or walls
of double iron plates filled in with cork or
other material, to be built at suitable places
in the outside walls. These either
drop down like shutters, giving exit to
outside balconies or fall outward like draw
bridges, and form a balcony of themselves.
In case of panic they are all 1oosed stimuli
taneously by electric contact, and the public
find everywhere around them exits to the
outside staircases.

LATE APPLICATIONS OF THE FLUID
WRITTEN FOR THE DISPATCH

WRITTEN FOR THE DISPATCH.1
The idea of an automatic telephone call
box on the nickel in the slot' principle,
has for long time been fascinating one to
the public and the inventor, and an instru-
ment that would meet such requirements
would be largely used. The monopoly in
the telephone field has hitherto limited the
use of the instrument, but with the
early expiry of the leading patents,
sweeping change willtake place. A
Berlin firm are now constructing q
call box, which,. they claim, solves the
question of telephone for the people. 1t is
proposed, as being more equitable system
of charging, to make small rate for each
telephone installed, and to tax each conver-
sation, instead of the heavy annual rental
now paid.
The apparatus by which this reformation
Is to be carried out is to be worked on the
popular "slot" principle. Upon a coin being
inserted in the instrument, it passes
through the usual testing arrangement.
Should it fail to pass, it is rejected; but if it
proves satisfactory, it passes on and rings
up the exchange. If the caller is informed
that the desired connection cannot be made
he has only to press white stud and the
coin is released and falls to the refunding
box. Should, however, the connection be
made at the exchange, the current which
then passes causes the coin to fall into a
groove, where it remains until the signal at
the close of the conversation is given, when
1t Is released by the magnet, and allowed to
fall into the cash box. pressing, on the way,
lever, which breaks all contacts. Should the
closing signal be omitted, the coin will re-
main in the talking position" and to pro-
vide against this, a lever is so arranged as
the first coin to fall to the bottom of the
cash box.

THE WEEK IN OIL.
Best Business for Many Months, With the
Price Well Up.

Price Well Up.
About 30, 900 barrels OF oil changed hands
on the local board during the week Small
though this be when compared with old
times, it is sufficient to show that this new
deal has been productive of good results,
and has thrown glamor of expectancy over
the market which makes the future look
bright
In spite of bearish field news and decline
in refined at New York, the price held pretty
close to the top figure. The highest point
touched for regular oil was S. on Monday;
the lowest was 63 on Friday. Yesterdays
range was: Cash opened at 631I, highest
Sl}s SlRsnsd at SsA highest S'A' lowest SS7' close
As to the staying power of the revival
there are two opinions-one that the pre-
MUM was knocked off for a purpose, and
that as soon as this is accomplished the
price will drop again, and the other that al
it is no longer in the power of any corpora
tion to manipulate the market at will, the
conditions of supply and demand must here
after have their full effect, and this it Is
thought, will be sufficient to maintain an ac-

TRADE OF THE WEEK.
A Good Volume of Business for the
Season, With Prices Well Held.
PITTSBURG Is OUTGENERALED
In Big Deal Involving Valuable Property
Adjoining Highland Park.
A GOOD WEEK AMONG THE BUILDERS

So far as close students of the situation
can discern, the Legitimate business OF the
country is in a sound and prosperous condi-
tion, and there is no occasion for alarm to
those who are pursuing a conservative pol
icy. Clearings Of the Pittsburg banks dur
ing the past week were above the average of
the year, showing that business is in the as
! cendant A complete change seems to have
taken place since this time last year. Then
almost everybody had confidence, while the
actual conditions of business were such as
to warrant the very gravest apprehension
as to the future, and there was not the
slightest real ground on which to base an e1-
pectatIon of general prosperity. There
certainly is good reason for faith in the
present and conf dence in the future. There
is nothing in sight to cause apprehension.
Local disturbances will soon pass away.
Deal at Highland Park.
An important transaction in real estate
was closed by Charles Somers & Co., yester-
day. 1t was the sale of the tract of land
known as the John Logan property, adjoin-
ing and extending along Highland Park, and
having frontage on Highland avenue of 435
feet by a depth of about 76O feet, embracing
some five acres The purchaser is Mr.. John
Fite, the well-known Liberty street mer-
chant. The sellers were the Logan
heirs, now residents of Mercer, in
this State. The price paid was
s4S COO, and by those acquainted
with values in that vicinity the considera-
tion is pronounced reasona BILE enough. MI.
Fite proposes to improve the property
elaborately, by grading, sewering, laying
sidewalks, etc. 1t will be divided into
large lots, designed for elegant residences to
be constructed under careful restrictions,
and thus plated and improved, will come on
the marked again through Charles Somers q
Co.
With the sale of this property another Of
the few remaining very desirable residence
tracts in the East End parts from the origl-
nal ownership and disappears from
needed this property to square
Highland Park, which has an equal frontage
on the opposite side of Highland avenue,
but although many overtures were made for
its purchase, in which it is said most OF
the real estate agencies of the
city have taken part at various
times, nothing came of the negotiations.
Something over month ago the city was
given the last chance to secure this property,
but the purchasing officials were slower
than Mr.. Fite and in consequence Highland
Park will continue lopsided.
Transfers of the Week.
The following table shows the number
and amount of transfers of real estate filed
in the Recorders office during the week end
