MORRIS COVE RAILWAY.


The First RIMS to be Made This
Week.
Superintendent Lawton, of the Norris
Cove electric road, said yesterday that it
was probable the first run over the road
would be made next Saturday. 1t was e1-
pected to run car to-day, but the delay
was caused by the fact that a large fly
wheel would be needed, which it was at
first thought could be dispensed with at
the power house. Consequently a wheel
was ordered cast by the Bigelow company
at the Farrell foundry, Ansonia. The
wheel was completed yesterday.
Nearly all the motors in the cars are
ready for the application of the electricity
as soon as it is generated. A test trip
may be made tomorrow afternoon.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Last evening as an electric car was re-
turning from Savin Rock at very lively
pace young member of the Revers came
along and the idea of scrap struck him,
so he started after it. It was a pretty
close contest, although the wheelman had
"a little the best of it when his front wheel
ran away from the hind one and spilled
him in the middle of tho street. Upon re-
covering from his fall he looked for the
front wheel, but it was fully 800 feet
away. 1t was sport for the passengers
who saw it, but the wheelman said he
didn't see anything 80 very funny about
it, starting with his wreck for the city
afoot.
