ELECTRIC ELEVATORS.
They Are Not Oniy Signaled. But Started
and stopped by the Lightning Fluid


There is vast difference between
the latest perfected elevator and the
elevator of a few years ago. says the
New York Mail and Express. The
electric elevator is the latest. The
passenger signals it 10y a teleseme. as
the appliance is called by which he
presses a button labeled Take me
up or take me down." as may be. in
response to which a faint buzZing in
the car of the conductor of each car,
whether there are two or half a dozen.
draws his attention to an Indicator
that shows on what floor the passenger
is and which way he wants to go. The
first ear to pass that floor going his
way takes him.
But the most novel point is that
electricity is also used in running the
ears. The conductor does not pull a
steel cable nor grasp a handle as big as
the reverse bar of locomotive. He
presses a button and the elevator
rushes up, another button and it de-
scends, a third and il stops. Before
long the elevator men will be called
operators at this rate, and charming
young ladies, with fluffy bangs and
rings on their fingers, Will be doing
the work.

Germany has for years possessed the
most efficient pigeon service in Europe.
At Strasburg there are six hundred
birds, at Metz six hundred. at Thorn
one thousand. and they are kept bv the
hundreds at other centcrs. such As
MainZ. Cologne, kiel and Danzig. The
whole frontier is connected 10y pigeon
post with the military headquarters
and with towns in the interior. The
service Is supported by an appropria-
tlon of about nine thousand dollars a
year The practical use of the pigeon
post was fully demonstrated AT the
siege of Paris in 1870. Since then it
has become a recognized part of the
military organization of all European
countries except Great Britain. Russia
has now on her Polish frontier alone
three thousand birds. and appropriates
yearly ten Thousand dollars for pig
cons The French appropriation is
twice as large.

SHE INSISTS ON MARRYING.
Sarah Croper Arrested for Annoying a

Sarah T. Croper was arrested yesterday
by Constable Whitesell. of Justice John
stons court. on a warrant sworn out by
Enos Hege, residing at No. 173 North Penn
sylvania street, charging her with tres
pass. In the house also resides ex-Sheriff
John T. Pressly. Some time ago Mr.. Press
ly was driving along road near lions
Vile, when he was compelled TO stop at a
toll gate. He knew the keeper. and con-
versed a few minutes with her. AS he was
about to depart, Mr.. Pressly was introduced
to Sarah T. Croper, who comes Of a good
family, but who has thus far lived through
life without having affected heart Of the
opposite sex. Mr.. Pressly was surprised on
receiving a message from Miss Croper a
few days after his arrival in this city. and
he was very much annoyed, for he did not
desire to open up q correspondence with
her. He made no reply.
Nothing daunted, Miss Croper mailed him
word time and again, but with the usual
result from Mr. Pressly. She then had
one of her friends to call on Mr.. PreSsly
to speak on the subject Of matrimony, as
it was rumored. Mr. Pressly was by TINS

ASKS FOR MORE TIME
Street-Car 'Company's Option ON
Haughville'S Streets Ending.
Trustee Hungate. an Employe Of the
Company, Creates Some Surprise
at the Board Meeting.

The Town Board OF Haughville met last
night, and. after allowing a number of
small bills. took up the water-works ques-
ton. After some discussion it was laid
over until next meeting
When the franchise OF forty years was
granted to the Citizens Street-railway Com
pany, last November, it was with the con-
dition that the company should have an
electric line completed within six months
or by May s. The company has as yet
only distributed the rails and ties along the
lire, and, il is thought, would have COM
menced building the track within short
time. Last night communication was re-
ceived from the company asking for an ex-
tension of time. Trustee Moore, as soon as
the communication was read, sprung TO his
feet and spoke vehemently against any
such action of the board. He stated that
since the granting of the franchise the
citizens OF Haughville had considered the
question and had come 10 the belief that
the action OF the board was entirely wrong.
To have granted a franchise to the streets
for forty years was simply TO have given
the streets of Haughville to the company.
The board had seen their. mistake and had
repented. The people of Haughville had de-
sired rapid transportation SO much that at
question very deeply.
President Patterson, of the board, was
absent last night and this left the affairs
in charge Of Trustees Moore and Hungate.
After concluding his remarks Trustee
Moore moved that the communication be
given no attention, and as he did so he
took IL for granted that Trustee Hungate
would second the motion Trustee Hungate
has been employed in the service of the
street-car company for some time and
when the motion was put he remained ST.
lent The crowd in the room were bewil-
dered. 1t a known fact that many
citizens in Haughville were against grant
ing the extension Of time, and il was sup
posed that Trustee Hungate would not hes
ttate in seconding the motion
1t is understood that President Patterson
is against granting the extension OF time,
and at the next meeting, If he and Trustee
Moore, of the board, are present the COM
munication will be laid on the table. AS ii
Is the condition Of affairs will remain un-
changed for the want of any action last
night.
1t is stated by some Of the citizens that If
such action is taken by the board that a.
franchise Will be granted to the City Rail-
way Company, which has several times at
tempted to get the right of way of Haugh-
VilleS streets. The Street-car company will
without doubt, II the extension OF time is
refused, contest the case in court, if the
board attempts to grant franchise to an
other company.
