HOPE FKOM MILFORD. MASS.

There is loud and general demand for
an electric railroad which shall be better
than the troublesome and dangerous troll
ley system. Those who have been hoping
that a practical and not too expensive
storage battery system would be discover
ed have become somewhat discouraged.
But it is now asserted, with great con-
fidence, that in the town of Milford, Mas
sschusetts, storage battery system is at
work, and has been successfully at work
since April 10. space of sixteen months.
The cars are little larger than the West
End cars in Boston, but 30 constructed
that the weight, with the batteries all in,
is little less. The road has a grade at
one point of five feet to the hundred, COM
plicated at the top by curve which makes
the grade equivalent to eight and one
half feet to the hundred. No trouble has
been encountered in climbing the hill and
making the curve.
Not single day have the cars failed to
run since the line was opened, even in the
hardest winter weather, and hardly trip
has been missed. This system is not in
use any where else. 1t has not been brought
to the attention of the public at all. Not
share of stock in the capital of the COM
pany has been offered for public sale. The
owners, inventors and managers preferred
to work out their problems in Milford,
| cure their defects, and not go to the pub
lie until they were sure that they had
solved the problems of using storage bat
teries for street railroad service, and had
overcome the difficulties which had wrecked
all former anticipations. But success, they
believe, has at last been achieved, and they
will soon come before the public with {
presentation of their case.
| If they can do what they say they cal
they will be welcome and they will ge
rich. The reports from Milford are Ger
tainly such as to warrant people IN agair
indulging in the pleasures of hope regard
ing the storage battery system.

81. Cloud.
From the London Times ]


The ruins OF st. Cloud have been sold
BY auction. All that war and time had left
of the beautiful palace, where kings and
emperors loved to take their pleasure, has
been knocked down to speculative pur-
chaser as so much old building material.
The most austere champion of equality,
the most rigid and soulless of economists,
must feel something of a shock that such
an edifice should meet with such q doom.
That Frenchmen should desire 10 remove q
conspicuous monument of the humilia-
tions, the sufferings and the disasters
brought upon their country by cruel in
vasion is natural enough, nor is 1t strange
that the rulers of the republic should be

Sailor Frank Reilly Was Foully Murdered
in Genoa, Italy.
LONDON, Sept. lathe latest advices
received here from Genoa regarding the
murder of Frank Reilly, the seaman Of
the United States steamer Newark who
was killed on the night of Sept. 8 in a
lodging house in Genoa, show that ma
tional animus against Americans was
the cause Of the crime. The proprietor
of the lo' ing house, when the New
ark's men pplied to him for lodgings,
used most abusive language to them
simply bee use they were Americans.
One of those present, knowing the pro-
prietor, advised the men that it was I'M
safe for t ON to remain in the place.
All the sailors started for the door,
whereupon the proprietor, with knife
In each hand, sprang toward Reilly and
stuck both weapons in HIS back. Reilly
staggered to the street, where he fell
and died in few minutes. The muir
der was entirely unproyoked, and Reilly
was killed for no other reason than he
was an American. In consequence of
the killing Of Reilly, the sailors of the
United States vessels are not allowed to
go on shore while they remain at

An Indiana Town Claims the Smallest

MARTINsvnLE, Ind, Sept. Thames
Minton Hicks, of Mahalasville, this
county, is the smallest dwarf on earth.
He is seven years old, thirty-one inches
high and weighs twenty-one pounds.
He is well built, his head being little
larger than his body warrants being the
only ill-proportion of his entire struc.
ture.
AS evidence that Hicks will never be
any larger, he weighs exactly the same
as he did three years ago, and has not
grown any taller in that time. He has
never experienced a spell of sickness.
His parents brought him to this city
Saturday and had him fitted out in a
full dress suit. He does not approve Of
profiting by his deformity, but as his
parents are poor he has consented to
exhibit himself. His parents are me-
diminished people, and James brothers
are large, overgrown boys.

NEW YORK, Sept. M.--Monday an at

they were prevented from doing SO by
an armed mob of 800 or 400 baymen and
others, led by Supervisor Young and
ex-Supervisor Vale, of lslip. Senator
Mcpherson, of New Jersey, appealed to
the mob in the name of God for pity
for the helpless and suffering women
and children on board the infected
Cepheus, but his eloquent words met
with sullen refusal. The mob said an
injunction had been granted by Judge
Barnard, of Brooklyn, and that no one
could land. They refused to recognize
the order of Health Officer Jenkins, of
the port of New York. claiming Fire
Island was not under his jurisdiction.

however, intervene, until Governor

used all of the power of the great state
of New York, both judicial and mill

township of Islip, and in that case the

BY the use of heavier conductors the
