FIRST ELECTRIC CAR IN AMER
lCA.

1t Was Run i'm Baltimore Seven
Years Ago, and IL Now OlI-fSash-
toned.
In the car barns of the Baltimore City
and Suburban road, near the corner Of
Huntingdon avenue and Oak street, is
a relic which President Perrin thinks
| will figure in a museum one of these
days, when rapid transit, by electricity
especially, has completely revolution
lied Baltimore, and made the city's
progress and development a matter Of
record, says the World.
Half hidden with cobwebs and dust,
and pushed in one corner to make room
for the vehicles in daily use, is a car
which is historic, for it is the first real
electric a run in the United
States and the second in the world,
Germany claiming the honor for the
| other.
1t was in the summer of 1886 that
the City and Suburban secured the now
old-fashioned motor and put it into
! operation, but, while the concern was
practically a failure, electricians from
all parts of the country tlocked this
! way to see the novelty tested, and
the car was a drawing card for the
time being. In the spring Of the same
| year w. NJ. Daft, the distinguished
electrician and scientist Of New York,
was requested to come to Baltimore by
the Suburban Railway company,
through President Perrin, with expecta-
lions that he would be able to make
practicable the problem of faster street
locomotion by electricity. After no end
of experiments, failures and delays,
Aug. 26, 1886, just seven years ago,
saw the road completed and the
Morse made it's first trip, which met.
all requirements and was pronounced a
success.
The trailer attached, with its twenty
five passengers, covered the distance
Of lis miles in five minutes time,
of to-day. The road was kept in opera
ton some time and then the company
began the improvements, which are still
under way, at a cost Of over $1,50O,0O0.
The old Morse" while running well
enough for the time, did not answer re-
quirements, because a ground current
was used, and frequent accidents &C.
CURED through contact of wires Win
gas pipes and the like, and stoppages
and delays finally became so numer-
Gus that horses again replaced the
coup-shaped motor car, while the s $1,000
Daft relic was stabbed as a trophy on
Huntingdon avenue, to be still later
supplanted by the improved type Of
rapid transit vehicles.

p v-(Continued)

II can only say then that I earnestly
hope the love will fall on the right per
son." replied Lady Rosedene. .
THAT will be as heaven Wills sale
Hyacinth. my father says marriages
are made in heaven. He often tells M
about the summer evening when he
first saw my mother. The sun was set
ting, and he heard a sound of sweet
music: and then from the church porch
came a quiet, gentle figure that was
like the very revelation OF love TO nun
He told me that the love which nlieo
his heart then was the same WINCH
will fill his soul when he meets my
mother in heaven
The sweet voice died in a soft, low
sigh. Lady Rosedene looked up gravy
1--WE look at love from different
points of view," she said. Il have
studied it in a ballroom-you by the
side of a grave
"yhere is another difference OBJ
served Hyacinth, gently. Your love
changes with every fashion-it never
lasts g. Iifetime-while such as my fath'
er speaks of begins on earth only to
end in heaven"
Lady Rosedene sighed. She looked
with wonder at the young girl, SO IN
experienced in life, yet gifted with
knowledge so much more profound
than her own-with wisdom so much
more sweet and simple. She said no
more; but after that conversation she
never spoke to Hyacinth Vane again
about making a good match.
Every day she became more popular
was more beloved. The sweet, simple
wisdom she had learned from her
father seemed to be part of her beauty.
1t was new to those about her, as was
the fair lovliness of her young face.
One night when the lilies and roses
were sleeping, and the world lay at
rest-when the moon shone bright, ana
the n~ightengales sung in he green
heart of the woods, Hyacinth Nane laid
her head on the white pillows and
dreamed the dreams that come TO the
young and happy-dreams in which the
bright moonlight foreshadowed a gold
en- halo that was to fall around her-a
handsome face, which vet h could not
see-strong arms that We're to clasp
her, but whose grasp was shadowy-a
low voice that whispered tender words,
none Of which were plain to her
dreams that We're fragments of beauty,
music and song.
She woke with the glow of them
upon her. The sun was shining full
on her window; the ringdoves were
cooling: there was not even one white
cloud in the blue sky; the whole bright
laughing world seemed to call her to
new life and new light.
1T seems to me- says Hyacinth
Vane, as she threw open the latticed
window to let in the perfumed air,
that something is going to happen to-
day"
There vas a stir in the youthful soul
"A new sensation of life and happi-
ness-was it only the brightness of the
summer day, the warmth of the suA.
the fragrance of the flowers; or was it
the shadow Of coming fate resting on
the clear young soul?
The SUI rOse on many mornings for
her, but morning W. dawned for her
with the same sweet smile. She never
looked out from lattice window again
with the same clear, untroubled mind.
The dawn of her fate had risen for her,
the great shadow lay upon her, and
she was to know the peace of early
girlhood no more.

a Funny snap.

Last Saturday night there was a
snap at Fulton, though it may prove
serious, as arrests will probably follow.
Four well known butchers seemed TO
be smitten with two popular young
ladies Of the town. On the night named
all decided to call on the ladies,
but the two who came last found their
rivals conversing with what they called
their girls" The butchers last arriv-
ing were irate, and a fight ensued.
The fellows first there we're caught,
choked, and finally left vowing ven
gonce. They got in hiding, and when
the others passed their way rocks
began flying through the air. 1t
was the big butchers time to retreat
now and this they did In an approved
STYLE. Each was more or less bruised
up, and there was talk OF arrests yester'
day.

REV. BARrLEBAoH v1ND1UATED.
Well Attended Church Investigation at
Elm Grove, Yesterday.

Elm Grove, Yesterday.
Rev. b. c. Bartlebach, OF the Church
of God, at Elm Grove, was triumphant
ly acquitted yesterday OF the serious
charge against him. More than the or
binary interest was manifested in the
result.
JOS. Black, coal miner of Elm
Grove, some two months ago charged
Rev. Bartlebach, who Is married, with
improper intimacy with his wife.
Rev. Bartlebach Indignantly refuted
these charges, ard public sympathy
sided with the minister, as be always
had borne an exemplary character, aud
was much esteemed by his friends and
churchmen. The minister claimed that
he called at the Black homestead TO
practice singing with Mrs. Black, as
she was a member OF his church. In
preparing for revival meetings under
progress. The matter was never per-
manently settled till yesterday.
A church conference was called TO
meet Yesterday afternoon at the church
In Elm Grove. DivineS Of the church
from Moundsville, Benwood and other
places attended, large crowd OF
church laymen being in attendance.
After the body discussed matters rel
alive to the progress of the church in
the Grove, IL was decided to take up the
charges against the minister. Quite a
number OF witnesses among the church
people and others were called in and
gave testimony before the ministers.
After a complete hearing Of the wit
ness, 1t was decidedly unanimously that
the charges against Rev. Bartlebach
were entirely groundless. The minis
ter was given hearty congratulations
and will still act as pastor Of the Elm
Grove church.

Leakage of Sewer Pipe.

The retaining wall around the juno
tion OF the new water pipe at Main and
Seventh streets is being built The
work is considerably delayed by the
excavation being filled with sewer
water from the sewer on Market street.
The leakage was caused by part Of the
sewer pipe on Market street being re-
moved while laying the water pipe and
not properly replacing 1t. Consequent
ly the water follows the course OF the
new pipe down the hill, and rapidly
fills the excavation and the surrounding
cellars.

Farmers Encouraged.

Farmers from the surrounding coun-
try are greatly encouraged by the way
the recent rains have improved their
farms generally. These recent genial
showers have brought on the grass in a
remarkably rapid manner. Many farm
ers will get two clover crops as re-
suit, and with this and the revived
grass two months feed, at least, can be
saved. Some corn is being husked, and
it, too, is turning out much better than
was expected.
