Origin of the Word "Troliey."

Most persons who use the word
trolley probably do not know the
origin of this term, OF why this name
was given to that apparatus by which
the electricity is conveyed from an
aerial wire. Twenty years ago the
word was used to designate "a form of
truck which can be. tilted, for carrying
railroad materials or the like. This
is the only definition of the word in
Webster's Dictionary Of the edition of
1S4S. In the edition of 1892 of the
same work three other definitions are
added. OLA narrow cart that is
pushed by hand or drawn by an II
NAL" 1t is noted that this meaning of.
the word is in use in England. not in
the United States. (2) "A. truck from
which the load is suspended on some
kinds; of cranes" This meaning is
technical, according to Webster, and
employed only in speaking of machin-
cry. ~ "(Electric Railway. A truck
which travels along the fixed conduc-
tors, and forms a means of connection
between them and a railway car" 1t.
is easy to see how the primitive form
of the electric trolley, which travels
upon the wires, came to receive its
name from a resemblance to other types
of trolley, and the name. having been
Immediately given to this primitive
form, was naturally retained when the
method of connection was changed
from a little truck moving on a wire,
to a mast having at its end a wheel
pressing, OH the lower surface OF the
wire.-L'Electrician. -

the grounds and buildings of the former
military post under the act Of CONGRESS
Of 1890. For some reason Gov. Mellette
declined to accept The gift from the gov
eminent, bu. Gov. Sheldon thought bet

ground for the use of the state m:lIt'a!
is now owned by the state. The govern

number of twenty-five, nearly all OF
which arc constructed of stone and brick.
In the center Of the fort is the parade

New York, Nov. 1.-THE Herald's La
Libcrtad, Honduras, special says: Hon
duras fired upon the American flag this
morning. BY the alleged orders of Presi-
dent Vasquez, and by the express COM
mand of the commissioner of the port of
Amahla, several shots were fired after
the Pacific Mail steamer Costa Itica, fly
ing the stars and stripes, as she steamed
way, because she refused to surrender
one of her passengers to the Honduras
government.
United States Minister Baker was on
boar the Costa RIGA at the time. The
passenger about whom the trouble arose
is T.. Bonilla, who recently led the rcvo
luton in Honduras. but was defeated by
Gen. Vasquez. He fled to Nicaragua
and with 800 of his adherents Joined the
army of President Sarcassa, who was en-
gagged in sn attempt to quell q revolu-
ton. Bonilla had decided to leave Nica-
ragua in order to relieve the govern
me,-t from all responsibility Of harboring
them. He therefore sailed from Mica
ragua for Guatemala. Minister Baker
end 100 other passengers We're his fellow
passengers.
They arrived yesterday at Amapala, a
port of entry of Honduras on the Pa
cifc coast. In the afternoon the COM
mondcr of the port. Villa, demanded that
Cart. Dow should surrender Bonilla.
When tie request was refused, a threat
was made to sink the ship, and it was
asserted that President Vasquez had
given orders TO that effect. Villa. in
censed at the refusal to surrender Bonil-
la, gave the order to fire on the ship
after nightiall. when it was too dark to
leave. with safety.
A government officer came on board at
$3.50 this morning. saying that new orders
had been received from the president in
sisting on the delivery of Bonilla or the
b~ombardment of the ship. Capt. Dow, re-
piled that the commander of the port
would receive his answer in half an hour,
but before that time expired he sailed
away.
Several shots were fired after the
Costa Rica. although carrying the Amer
lean flag. One of the shots struck her,
doing no damage. but it is feared that
the S.. S. Gala, of the same line, which
was lying in port. may have been in
iured, for the. firing continued some
time after the vessel was out of range.
The congress. of Honduras has con-
fcrred upon Gen. Nasquez the power to
make war IN Nicaragua if IN invasion of
rcyolutionists from that republic occurs.
