JOHN H. CRANE DEAD.
He Expired at His Home Last Night
After Brief Illness.
He Was One of the Best Known Citf-
sens of WashingtOn-Sketch of His
Long and Active Career.

John H. Crane is dead. He was stricken
with cerebral paralysis at 6 o'clock yester
day morning, remained unconscious through
out the day. and died at $40 o'clock last
night. All that family tenderness and medi-
cal skill could avail was to prolong life
for perhaps a few hours. The affliction
came as shock. On Thursday night he
attended a public meeting. returned home
and retired in apparent health. He seems,
though, to have had a premonition of his
death. Under his pillow the widow found
letter bearing date Of December 1. In it
Mr.. Crane said that he felt impressed that
bis career on earth was closing, and that
lis spirit would pass from his body before
the end Of the month. He requested that
his face be not exposed to public view while
1T rested in the casket, but that his crayon,
which has stood in the parlor Of his home
for many years. should be placed at his

OF the 200 officers and enlisted men
classified as practicing in the department,
65.11 per cent were born in the United
States; of these S2.I3 per cent are white

merit at the target the whites scored W. AZ

resolutions addressed to the public, outlin-
Ing the policy OF the new party. One of the
projects Is the nomination Of a silver can

things on which he wanted to put himself
on record. The missive was full of loving
counsel to his wife and daughters. Mr..
Crane was man who compelled the re-

councils of the city. He was commissioner

A 100000 PRIZE FOR INVENTORS.
offered for a System Of Street Car
Propulsion to Replace Cable and
Trolley.

Propulsion to Replace Cable and
Trolley.
The Metropolitan Traction Company sent
letter to the New York board of railroad
commissioners in November last. according
to the New York Sun. offering a prize of
$4,000 for the invention of system of
street railroad propulsion superior to the
cable and the trolley. In this letter the OFF,
GERS Of the company say:
On streets where the lines are straight
and the business is heavy the cable system
is the most economical yet invented For
general use in city, winding about through
the streets following the routes of travel
which the public wish to pursue 1t is i'm
practicable. You require straight routes for
cable roads We have in addition to the
lines upon which the cable will be laid over
eighty miles of street railroads now operat-
ed with horses all below the Central Park.
1t is to these lines in particular that we
now desire to direct your attention.
Up to the present time the only system
whose practicability has been demonstrated
is the ovehead trolley. We are well aware
however, that its application in the streets
of New YORK would not meet with the ap-
prevail of the community. What we most
desire now is to hasten the development and
perfection of better system. We there
fore submit the following proposition:
600 to be awarded as a prize to any person
who shall, before March i, 1894, submit to
your honorable board an actual working
system Of motive power for street railway
cars demonstrated to be superior or equal
to the overhead trolley.
Second-The qualities necessary to meet
this requirement shall be left to your deci-
sion: but with the present state of the art
a system to win the award must necessarily
approximate the trolley as q. standard of
economy in operation, but should be without
the features Objectionable to the public that
are in ii. ~
Third-We shall exact no rights in the in
ventfon in return for the $4,000, and shall
have nothing whatever to do with the max
ing Of the award further than to pay any
expenses which your honorable board may
deem 1t necessary or wise to incur, either
In the employment Of experts, the giving of
hearings. or the conduct of experiments
this In order that no effort may be spared
to achieve the desired result.
In answer to this proposition, Mr. g. H.
Beardsley, In behalf Of the railroad commits
sioners. sent a letter to President John ID.
CrimEins. undertaking to cooperate with
the company, with certain limitations
Mr. John ID. Crimmins said last night that
the oner OF the company was made for the
pest interests both of the company and of
tne city. He was sure the overhead trolley
would never be introduced into New York.
Inc general idea was to encourage the in
vention OF some sort of underground trolley
system which would be free from the dis
advantage Of liability to kill horses and men
In the streets above it.
