with carriages after it. into n field near
to the track Tho carriages were
broken and jammed together, and
most of the passengers were caught in

Move Plan for fastening Delivery DuI

WASHINGTON, Nov An anticiLa
ton of a largo volume OF mail and the
value of quick transmission during tho
worlds exposition nj Chicago in 1893
the details of an elevated road wero
submitted to the postoflice do
partmcnt by the United States Rapid
Transit company, of Chicago. The
plan Is 10 erect this system between
the exposition grounds and the Chi
cago postoficc,. and by means of an
electric cable, situated high enough 10
clear all buildings along the route, at
tain u very high rate Of speed, 200 miles
per hour. If necessary. Several claims
are put forth rs TO safety. security. low
cost Of construction, and proof against
fire or theft while in transit. The
proposition OF this company Is volun-
tary on its pa I, and IL clnnot'bow be
said what consideration will be given
the matter by the people. The object
Of h system is TO transmit the mails
from the railroad depots to and from
the postotiiccs and To and from the
worlds fair, and also to and from oil
solicitations. Office buildings, and
hotels in the city. The system consists
of elevated cables with o number OF
cars mounted thereon, sufficient that
will enable them to. make five or ten
minute trips when necessary The
mail bags are sent up on nn elevator
which Is placed at each depot,
and tho bags are deposited on
the reception floor, which is
above the car as shown in
drawings of depots, When the car ar.
rivcs and is stopped in position the
slide door is pulled from underneath
the bags, which permits them to drop
into the car. The car then proceeds
on its return trip to the central post
Office. On arrival at it's destination
and position, tho operator pulls tho
lever and the sliding door is opened at
the bottom Of the car, which allows
the mail bags To drop from the cars
into the sorting oolns OF the postofice
and the mail bags that have been sent
up from the elevator in the central
postoflice are dropped in the car in the
same manner, and the car proceeds to
deliver such sorted mail bags at the
next depot or sub-station, office, build
ings, or hotels, whore il deposits and
receives the bags at the main office.
