An Electric Wagon.
A novelty in the way of wagon pro
peled by electricity was seen on the
streets of Chicago a few days ago.
Some time ago President J. e. McDon-
aid of the American Battery Co. pur-
chased several patents from William
Morrison, of Des Moincs. Among other
things was a park wagon equipped
with small 3-horse power motor and
24-cell storage battery. Mr.. McDon-
aid fitted the wagon with new bat
teries and gave it trials With five
persons in the wagon it left the barn on
Monroe street and travelled to the COM
pany's Office. The run was made in
twenty-five minutes. which was con-
sidered as satisfactory, considering
that the wagon was delayed at a
bridge, and that frequent stops were
made on account of the crowds in the
streets down town. It is calculated
that the wagon can make ten miles an
hour easily with the present motor.
