car and was dragged some distance before
the car could be stopped. The others fell
under the carriage when it was over

head by ono of the horses, and the other
occurants were more or less bruised. but
none were very seriously injured.
They all had their clothing torn almost
into shreds. When Mrs..Lawt0n was taken

The electric current is returned to the bat
terry, and the force used for making the
current flow back is that produced hy the
rotation of the wheels. The forcing back
# the current thus acts as block on the
wheels, and even on very steep hill
there is no likelihood of runaway. It's
claimed that this advantage makes storage
cars safer than cable-cars.
The car ran at speed OF about eight
miles an hour. It could have gone at the
rate of sixteen. 1t was made here for ex-
permenis by the San Francisco Storage
Company. The experiments have been
carried on for fifteen months. The bat
terry was invented by George E. Hatch
and Charles H. Wiswcll Of Cambridge,
Mass, both of whom are now in San
Francisco. The battery was designed by
them fOr electric lighting, but when the
local company saw that it was service able
for streetcars il purchased the patent and
had the battery fixed for that use. The
batteries are set under the seats, which in
the EXPERIMENTAL car are upholstered
with plush Buttons connecting with
electric bells are in easy reach for pas
sengers. The car is lighted by electricity.
The mOtorman's vesti5ule at each end nf

and he may keep his inclOsure open or not
as he pieaseS, according TO the weather.
The car was made Of maple.
1t is longer and heavier than ordinary
streetcars but none as large as it will be
built for daily use on roads that accept the
storage system. Its dimensions are 30x7
feet, and it weighs over sixteen tons when
obody is aboard. The ease with which
this heavy car with good load of passen-
gers moved yesterday indicated that lighter
cars will go ahead without any trouble.
The system has some novel features.
One advantage is its weight, which Is less
than one-half Of the lightest accumulation

Porous earthenware plates take tho plare
of tho leaden grids as the support Of the
active material. A thin sheet of lead or
other conductor Is placed between the
porous plates and n contact with the ac-
tive material, which is contained in
grooves running horizontally across the
Porous plates. BY this means tho weight
of the cell is reduced to the minimum
weight of the active material and its porous
support and the necessary electrodes,
which may be very light.
The porous plates absorb so much cleo
troiyte that in case of an acct dental hrea k
ing of the containing jars and the flowing
out of the active material the plates would

If no accident had happened, until the jars
could be replaced. This fSAHlre is an i'm

The young people were anxious to get

Will Obviate the Necessity of
Unsightly Poles.

A trial trip Of new electric car. opera
ted by storage battery system, was made
yesterday. and it proved success.
Mayor Ellert, who was on the car, was
much pleased. He has used his official
authority to prevent the erection of trolley
poles and wires on the main thoroughfares.
The result of the storage experiments
showed that he was right when he declared
that the trolley device is not the most i'm
proved electrical appliance, and that there
is a practicable substitute for that un-
slightly and dangerous system.
The car started at 9 o'clock from the
carhouse on the corner of Folsom and
Tw enty-fourth streets, and ran along
Folsom, Twenty-sixth and Bryant streets.
1t went to Eighth and then back. The
track is on grade in several places on
BRYANT street, and the score Of gentlemen
aboard had opportunities to note that the
car when going down hill does not percep-
tibly increase its speed. even when no

Wednesday Of brutality beating his wife,

morning to six months Imprisonment in
the House of Correction. The Judge, in

a cruel wretch and expressed his regret
that the law prevented him from making
the sentence heavier. He told him he
should consider himself lucky that he was
not arrested for murder, considering the
violence he used in beating his wife.
