stairs to the oepar, with closet for stores
between the doorsas shown. The pantry is
conveniently placed and is fitted up with
ahelyes in the usual way. The kitchen is
preyided with sink and portable range
without brick opening. Two reasons may
be given why this is preferable to the brick
set range. First, it is cheaper, and second,
it is cleaner. The kitchen is wainscoted 8
feet high to protect the walls. The outside
kitchen door is also protected by hand
some porch. In the second story are four
good sized chambers, with clsset for each,
a large hall, back stairs leading to the kitch-
en- ana flight leading to the attic, which
is simply foored and the whole left unfin-
ished. The building is of wood above the
cellar, constructed with balloon frame, the
walls sheathed with surfaced boards and
covered with waterproof paper, and clap
boarded on the outside, with the exception
of the gables, which are shingled. The
walls and ceilings on the inside are hard

THE ELECTRIC ROAD.
ueerIng People Will Have to Wait for
Some Days Yet.

Travellers along Forest Avenue. Deering,
Yesterday beheld two strange carts much re-
sembling the car of Juggernaut. They were
the devices by which the electric railroad
contractors were putting up their trolley
wire. Into the body of an ordinary truck
wagon high staging had been placed, upon
which the workmen could stand while at
taching the trolley wire. This trolley wire
is about the last thing needed to complete
the line for the reception of the power and
the cars. The wires in the ground under the
rails, which make connection from one rail
to another and preserve continuous line of
metal. and the two heavy insulated wires
that run along on top of the posts are all
strung. Yesterday the trolley wire was 60
ing up. This is the large copper wire, about
fye-eighths of an inch In diameter, which is
strung directly over the track, and from
which the electricity for the car is taken by
little pulley at the end of the pole reaching
up from the roof the car. The electricity is
transmitted from this wire to the pulley,
thence along the pole to the car and to the
motor under the car
But, although the line itself is so nearly

Terminus of the Shore Line Railroad

Colonel j. N. Greene, in hunting up IA
vorable terminus for the Shore LineRailway,
has found route that will probably be ac-
cepted. 1t comes up the river to Calais from
Perry, where there will be junction for the
Eastport branch. The new survey involves
the frightening of the main lines by three
miles, but. including the branch. will save
the construction of three miles of road, as
the Eastport branch will be six miles short
er than heretofore contemplated. Colonel
Greene will doubtless have the contract for
building the road. There seems to be little
doubt about that.
