A NOBLE INVENTION.

The HERALD has lately witnessed

ments with Vapor Electric Motor
which is in process OF being patented by
Mr.. T. D. Hoskins. These were made
on various railway tracks OF this city,
and are of most instructive character.
The Car used corresponds to the dummy
of cable railway. 1t is propelled by a
motor that is between the seats, ell
though, of course, this will be greatly
modified when the invention 10 in OPP
Grafton, supported by adequate capital,
when trailer cars will be used by pas
sengers. The motor used by Mr.. Hos
kins last night was OF six horse power.
1t started easily and ran at rates of
speed varying from eight TO ten miles.
1t can be stopped and reversed
without any shock. Its motion is easy,
and it will go up any grade that any
electric or cable car will ascend. 1t is
without smoke, odor or annoying noise.
The expense of running the car is a
mere bagatelle, fifteen cents an hour be-
ing the extreme cost of traction. By
this invention OF Mr.. Hoskins power
houses and overground and underground
wires are wholly dispensed with. There
is no cost whatsoever attached to the
car except when it is in running motion.
An electric spark instantly generates
the power, and the movement of stop
cock stops the expense. Careful compu-
tations have established the fact that
the cost of running car propelled by
the Vapor Electric power of Mr.. Hoe
kins's system is only from one-third to
one-tenth that OF an electric car OF equal
capacity. The movement of the car is
easy and, while in motion. there is no
appreciable noise-really not go much
es that which accompanies a cable car.
The possibilities of such power in a
city are almost illimitable. First. there
is the natural presumption that the
new system will in time supersede both
the ordinary electric and cable car. The
immensely cheaper features of this new
invention would indicate this. Under
the Hoskins system there would be no
outlay for power houses, poles or wires,
and the extreme simplicity of the mech
anism would commend itself to every
body. For late hours at night or early
hours in the morning, excursions, etc.,
etc., it would be Incompatible, because
the cars could be started up instantan-
eously and there would be no waste OF
power. There would be none OF the

billties OF the new system, ii road were

DEVILS Gate caflon, that splendid stone
could be hauled into Los Angeles at q
trifling outlay, and 80 OF hundred
other things. This motive power is 30
cheap that there would be scarcely any
need for the horse except for pleasure.
This motor power is really one of the
great marvels of the age. Its inventor,
Mr.. 7. d. Hoskins. is one of the most
modest and meritorious OF men, and We
hope to see hirl realize the full fruition
of his remarkably ingenious talents.
The man who has supplied motor
which, at fifteen cents an hour, will
propel a car at a rapid speed carrying
twenty-five people. is benefactor OF his
kind. 1t is an agreeable thing to know
that this noble invention will hail from
Los Angeles. We wish both inventor
and invention all imaginable success.

This is an appeal from q judgment fol-

Andrew Stephens and others were made
defendants.
The mortgage was executed February
5, 1887, by appellant Moffatt and one II.
Clay Graham, since deceased, to secure
their two joint promissory notes for the
the aggregate sum of 500, $40 with inter
est at per cent. per annum payable
semi-annually, and If not paid, to bear
interest at the same rate.
Andrew Stephens was the lessee OF the
mortgaged property, and answered, set
ting up his interest. ]. M. Taylor an.
swered, alleging that he is the owner OF
an undivided two-thirde of the mort
gagged premises, subject to the lien of the
mortgage, and consenting that plaintiff
be granted the relief prayed for in his
complaint, including the appointment
OF receiver.
Defendants Jaynes. Moffstt and
Conkling (the appellants here) answered
that one payment had been made upon
the mortgage. alleging that from De-
cember /, 1887. to November II. 1891,
defendant, Taylor, owned an undivided
two-thirds of the mortgaged property and
they the remaining one-third that dur
ing the time above mentioned the plain
tiff, as mortgage, was in possession OF
the mortgaged premises, and received
the rents and profit of the same, OF the
value of $4,000, which should have been
applied upon the mortgage, and prayed
for an accounting. Plaintiff demurred
TO this answer, the demurrer wes sus-
tanned, and defendants declining to
amend, Judgment went against them.
OF all the defendants, Moffatt was
the only one personally liable for the
mortgage debt. and plaintiff in his COM

funds in the hands of the receiver.

ONE OF the indecent features of the

No doubt these latter gentlemen know

Their plans require tools in high govern

sons. But the idea of sending this no &C.
count pimp of plutocracy off to every ban
quet of bankers, no matter where held,
just to chow the subserviency OF his de-
partment of the administration to the
money power, is something rather too
tough for a tender Democratic con-
