the fury Of the night pause and look up hungrily
at the lighted windows Of the dining room.

Another Attempe 10 De Asds with lt On ths

Another Attempe 10 Re Aeds with IL On the
Manhattan System In New York.
The use Of electricity - . motive power to
operate the elevated trains has long been under
consideration. Col r. K. Hahn, general man.
ager Of the Manhattan elevated railway Of New
York, now hopes that tbs problem il In , way 10
be solved
"we must keep pace with the age" he sid
the other evening, land II We oan get anything
better than steam, Of course We are going to
have it. And It must be admitted that electri-
city is the coming motive power. Several
prominent electricians have made experiments
on our roads, but in cash case their efforts have
resulted in failure, the numerous grades, curves,
heavy loads, switches. &C., being too much for
them. During the last five years have watched
the development Of electricity with more than
ordinary interest, have talked with electricians,
and have encouraged everybody who thought
he could succeed in solving the problem.
"About two months ago was introduced TO
Prof Short of Cleveland. and at Q dinner We
talked about operating the elevated system by
electricity. The professor finally submitted
list of questions for me to answer 80 that he
could be familiar with the details of running
the roads. He wished to know about the
switches, the inclines, number of trains in
operation at one time on each of the lines, &C.,
That was over two months ago. and ever since
that time he has been at work on the problem.
II WINS evidently q difficult one to solve. it hav-
ing taken him 90 long to reach Q conclusion.
But have received letter saying that he was
prepared to run the trains on the Sd avenue
line and would submit plans. The electricity,
as | now understand it. will flow through q rail
between the tracks and not overhead All the
obstacles which the other electricians found in
the way Prof. Short gives me to understand
have been overcome. Even il there should be
a fire at the downtown end Of the Bowery. and
trains were not able to be run beyond that
point, the current would not be cut of. or it
could be so arranged that cars could be switched
at Chatham Square. 1t would not interfere
with the running Of the uptown part of the
system any more than such q condition Of af-
fairs would now. SO he claims.
at is a great task to undertake to operate
the Sd avenue system with any kind of power
At certain times during the day there are sew
enty trains moving at one time Imagine what
a tremendous power it will require to move such
q weight; but Prof Short says he can success
fully do it. / am not enthusiastically sanguine
of success, but l certainly am hopeful. What
blessing to New York it would be if the present
noise Of the engines, the smoke and the cinders
could be done away with, New engines. of
course, would be required for every train. and
that would cost millions Of dollars. Eut il the
great problem has been solved the Manhattan
road will not hesitate to keep pace with the
age"

Welded in a Cemetery.

The strangest and most unique marriage
ever performed in Baltimore took place Mon
day within the boundaries of Greenmount
cemetery over the graves of the parents of the
bride. Additional Importance attaches to the
event, owing to the prominence of the contract
ing parties. The groom was Col. Hendrick
Won Stamp, ex-minister of Denmark to the
United States, knight Of the Order of Dame
brog, and the bride was Miss Mildred Ham,
mond of Baltimore, daughter of the late Gen.
Hammond. Six carriages were occupied by
the wedding party, but the vehicles were sup
posed to be funeral cortege as they slowly
moved through the cemetery. When the Ham
mond lot was reached the graves were strewn
with flowers, and the wedding was quickly per-
formed. the bride standing upon the grave Of
her mother and the groom standing upon the
grave Of the brides father. The bride is one OF
Of Maryland's Oldest families, being a remote
descendant Of President George Washington.
She is forty and the groom is forty-four years
old. The party left for Washington in the
evening. From here they will 20 on q two
months cruise on the yacht Mildred.

OLD ARMY CHAPLAINs.
The First Meeting of the Association VIII
Take Place Here.


One of the novel features of the coming
Grand Army encampment will be the frs,
meeting of the National Association Of Old
Army Chaplains, which will be held at the
Metropolitan Methodist Church in this city on
the first evening of the encampment
This association was formed at the last annual
encampment of the Grand Army, which va,
held at Detroit, Mich, last August Upon that
occasion the Department Of the Missouri pre-
sented a memorial to the encampment sug.
costing the organization of the chaplains. The
memorial was referred to Q committee and sub.
sequently favorably reported to the sncamp-
ment, whereupon the plan was formally adopted.
The plan is best described in the words of q
circular sent out by the officers Of the associa-
ton, and which is as follows:
The object Of the association Il to enable the
old army chaplains and others to be better pre-
pared to assist the old soldiers to be true tc
themselves and country in the practice Of tenn
perance, industry. self-reliance and all manly
virtues. Most, if not all. are now mustered into
the g. A r. for mutual Improvement and
pleasure. They can either help each other OF
do harm. In the late war the chaplain was
there, not to fight. but to encourage the boys
In the practice of the virtues Of home life. In
the accomplishing of this he did more for his
country and them than he could have done by
cvoiu upSh VIC OAootN hOAo VI
carnage. We, the living, are all at home now
in the land we helped to save. Shall We abandon
each other or stand by one another still? We
are mustered out of the service Of
the United States army. it Is true, but
are we free as chsplains from q
moral obligation to stand by these men who
stood by their country in the hour Of darkest
danger? How can the old chaplain best help
the men now in these lines Of useful and hon.
orable living? How better than being with
them in the Grand Army post, letting his voice
always fall upon the side Of good morals and
sobriety?'
This circular was sent to every Grand Army
post, with the request that two delegates be
elected to attend the meeting of the Associa-
ton of Chaplains The convention will be ad-
dressed by prominent speakers and promises to
be a notable affair.
The officers of the association are az follows:
Rev. t. II. Hagerty, st. Louis, president: Rev.
S. H. White, Milford, Mich, vice president;
Rev. VIM. H. Hayward, Medfeld, Mass, secre-
tary.

SKETCH OF THE SCHOOL.
The Washington Training School for Nurses
was incorporated by act of Congress dated De-
cember IA, 1877, its particular object and
business being the education Of skilled nurses,
suitable for the needs Of hospitals and capable
Of being intrusted with the care of the sick in
their own homes. 1t is proposed to accomplish
such training by lectures oral instruction and
recitation in the rudiments of such branches of
the sciences Of medicine and hygiene as may be
sufficient for the purpose, supplemented by
practical instruction in hospitals.
The necessity Of giving nurses special train
ing in the duties and responsibilities Of their
calling has become an established fact and no
longer needs any argument in its support, for
one has only to experience in a single case the
superiority of properly trained nurse to be
convinced Of the immense advantage of such
training. The Washington Training School for
Nurses has now been in operation fourteen
years and offers to the public its tenth class of
graduates as the result Of its labors. The lee
lures and oral instruction to the pupils are
given in the lecture room at the Central Dis
pensary and Emergency Hospital, corner 18th
street and Ohio avenue northwest
The officers are as follows: Officers Of the
board of trustees, Col. NJ. NJ. Parker, president;
MIR. Henry F. Blount, vice president: DR.. Henry
L. E. johnson, secretary; Mrs. D. Webster

The regular New York state delegation of

lions expect to do great missionary work among
delegates BY assembling thus early. Congress-
man Bourke Cochran is at the head of the mis-

the contestants. Prominent Cleveland dele
gates said that if 1t was found that Cleveland
had sufficient votes outside of New York to
nominate him the contesting delegation would
not apply for admission to the convention. If.
however. they found it otherwise they would
ask for admission as delegates from New York.
