Engineering.

The use of electrically driven
tools is constantly spreading, and
among the shops that have recent
ly adopted the system is the large
new plant of the Bucyrus Steam
Shovel and Dredge company, at
South Milwaukee, Wis. The reas-
Ons which led to the use cleo
tricity here are stated by the
company to be as follows: ID
1t permits of the complete isolation
of the boiler and engine plant from
tho rest of the works (2) it permits
the ready and easy distribution of
any amount of power to any place
at any rate; (3) it avoids the wear
and tear on machines which are
used internationally; (4) it lends
itself readily to number of sub
sidiary purposes, such as drilling,
hosting, lighting and welding. The
blowers used in the foundry and
blacksmith shop have motors
mounted on their shafts. The
water supply is furnished by a
centrifugal pump driven by a mo-
tor on its shaft. In the machine
shop there are two motors, two
more are in the boiler shop, two in
the pattersrshop, one in the black
smith shop, one in the cupola
room, one in the casting shop,
three for the foundry cranes and
three in the erecting shop, making
a total of fifteen, with a capacity
of 166 horsepower. The current
is supplid by a Corliss engine
which drives two multipolar en-
gines of $50 horsepower each, one
of which is reserve for use in
case of accident.

Four new cars arrived Monday
over the Central road from st. Louis,
for the South Jersey Traction Co.
They are exceedingly handsome cars,
and are fitted up with all the latest
style of ornamentation. The windows
are large, the glasses taking up the
whole side of the car, excepting the
frame.
They are, as near as could be seen
under the canvas, mostly of a buff
color. Three of them are designated
with the route they are to go painted
on them. One is 'Irvine Oor Irving),
Commerce and Atlantic Streets" an
other is Laurel street and South ave-
nue." and the third one is Commerce
street, Court House and Tumbling
DAM" They are daisies; there is no
question, and are capable of carrying
thirty or forty passengers comfortably.

THIS YEARS FAILURES.
Two Hundred National 8ankss
Closed Since the First or
January.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Since the
first of January nearly 200 national
banks have closed their doors, against
less than fifty during the same period
last year. or the failures this year
five have been United States deposit
tories, as follows The First National
Bank, of Little Rock. Ark. the Gate
City National Bank, of Atlanta, Ga. :
the Peoples National Bank, of Denver,
Col. +; the German National Bank, OF
Denver; the Kentucky National Bank,
of Louisville.
The government, however, will not
lose anything by these failures, as each
national bank that is government
depository has to deposit United,
States bonds to the amount of govern
ment money 1t is allowed to carry.
These bonds, In case of the failure of
the bank are sold for the account Of
the government, and as United States,
bonds are at a premium In the tinan-
cial. market, there is never any diff

The Board of FreehOlders' Com.
m1ttee.
Freeholders Joseph T. White and
Nicholas Scull, of Committee on the
laying of tracks on the Broad street
bridge, have, made trip visiting
bridges In Newark and Camden On
these bridges the trolley tracks cross
the bridges. The fiat rails are used.
The committee learned that there was
no objection whatever TO the tracks
running across the bridges, and one
gentleman In Newark said that there
was not as much trouble on bridge
when trolley car crossed as there is
when double team went over 1t The
committee learned that bridges not ss
strong as the Broad street bridge,
were using rails, and there was no
trouble. The committee was impressed
with the fact, that there should be
little trouble In coming to satisfac-
tory arrangement with the Traction
Company.
The committee has secured the SER
vices of an expert, who is figuring upon
the strength of the Broad street
bridge, and will make report 10 few
days giving an expert oPinion upon
the matters of crossing the bridge with
street cars.

PUTTING UP WIRES.
A Good Deal of stretching Nec-
0SSRrY.

M CSSaEys
There Is a good deal more work about
stretching the trolley wires than peo-
pie think, and the men are every day
hard at labor, stretching the wires.
The gang have about reached Bridge
ton with the first wire, and now it is
necessary to turn about and go. back
after the other wire and put that up.
Yet third wire must be stretched
after this.
When the wires are strung, pretty
much all of the work will be In good
shape and the road between this city
and Millville will be In operation.
The employees of the Thompson
Houston Company are putting in the
dynamos at the power station in Mill
vile, and others are at work upon the
motors. All this work will probably
be finished by the time the wires are
strung. People are becoming little
anxious to see the cars in operation.

OGDEN'S CREAMERY BROKEN
INTO.

Two Cans of Cream Opened and
the Cream Smeared Around
Regardless. The Work
of q Gang.
What looks like the work of gang
of toughs occurred at 8. M. Ogden's
Creamery Monday night.
Some scoundrels with a grubbing
hoe, which was found about the prem
ises, pried open one of the win
dows of the building and entered it..
They searched around for what they
could find, smashed open the desk,
evidently in search of any stray
change which might be laying around
and finding meme, they began on the
cream cans.
Two cans Of cream were opened and
as much as they desired was eaten,
the balance was smeared around on
the floor and other places.
A paper box was filled with the
cream and carried out to the station
where 1t was smeared over the station.
Beyond the cream wasted but little
damage was done. The work looks
like as If set of fellows were out on
spree. looking for whatever mischief
they might get into.

The Unfortunate Youth Knocked
Overheard by the Room.

The Unfortunate Youth Knocked
Overheard by the Room.
The unfortunate drowning of Hayes
B'rry, a lad Of about 10 years of sge
Monday, was very sad sffair.
Coroner Bellows went down Mon
day afternoon to Tyndail's, where the
body was and beard the statements oil
sll he could fiud who knew anything
oout the affair.
One of the boys who had been with
Berry, whose name was Humphreys,
could not be found. He WAS SO terri.
fed that he left for home before the
coroner arrived. He made excuse fol
starring off that he would go up to
Fairton aud telephone for the coso.
ner.
The statement of the other boy and
of Isaac Kincaid and his brother
showed pretty plain state of facts
These went to show that Berry
Ham and Humphreys hired boat to
go down the creek. Neither of the
boys could swim and none of them
knew anything about the management!
of the boat.
When about two reaches below Tyn
dall's the boys were sailing along with
Berry holding the steering rigging; he
was sitting on the side Of the boat, the
boat having careened over. Ham,
who seemed to have his eye open fol
danger, told him not to sit there, the
boom might come over and strike him
Berry asked which way it would come,
and just at that time puff of wind
struck the boom, causing 1t to jibe
quickly and Berry was struck along
side the head and knocked over board
The Kincades were going by in a
row boat and hearing the other two
boys crying out and seeing hat float.
ing on the water, rowed to the spot
and finding a string attached to the
hat extending to the body, they
quickly pulled the body to the surface,
and took 1t to Tyndall's wharf.
All efforts at resuscitation were un.
availing and were finally relinquished
There was large confusion on the
side of the head showing where the
boom had struck just above the ear
1t was a very sad case for the
stricken family.
Mr.. Berry, the father, is a member
and officer In the First M. P. Church,
and the drowned boy was member
of that Sunday School.
ALI the boys lived in the vicinity OF
Mt. Vernon street.
