1t was supposed that it was dashed to

that the dog had, in its fall, lodged IN a
small tree, which grew from slight
projecting ledge about 80 feet below.
Ropes were procured, and bold spirit,
Peter Mcneil, was let down the face of

STREETcARs RUN BY GAS.
A German Invention That Promises Much
Success.

SUCCESS
WASHINGTON, July 24.-One result of
the publication few months ago of the
the promising performance of gas mo-
tors as applied to streetcar propulsion in
Germany has been to food the author
of the report, United States Consul Ma
SON at Frankfort, with letters from en-
gineers and other interested persons
asking for more details.
In compliance with their requests the
consul has just submitted another re-
port describing experiments made in
England with the same motor which
show even better results, the cost of
operation being SO far below that of
electrical or horse railways as to mark q
new departure in street railway methods.
The consul says the Liebig patents
have been acquired by a;Ajcnglish syn
dictate and the motor has been vastly
improved in way whereby it may
readily be adjusted to cars already
built for cable, electrical and horse
power. The report gives in detail
a description of the mechanism, show
ing how it operates with great
economy under the vastly differ
emit conditions of heavy and light
traffic and says that the improvements
made have largely reduced its cost The
car resembles any ordinary horsecar,
running quietly and easily, emitting
neither smoke nor steam and is easily
controlled, stopping on down grade of
one to % in its own length. Its weight
filed with passengers is five and half
tons and for gas it costs two
cents per mile against cents per mile
for fodder and bedding for horses The
first cost is about the same as horse
car with the two horses required to
draw it. A special car is being made
in England for exhibition in the United
States next October.

Tue Hoprth of July Parade.

The representatives of the twenty-one Boys brigade companies, the G. A. R.
 and P. 0. s. ofA. sooietes met in Gen. eral Embler's office last evening and perfected arrangements for the Fourth of July parade. The companies will as- semble at the old green in the morning at 7:4b. Marshal Embler wishes to i'm press on all civic societies that there are no speoial Invitations sent out, but q general invitation is extended to them all to parade with the other societies, so that g grand demonstration can be held, which will eclipse those held this week, and that 1t will be a credit to our city. It is understood that some societies are waiting for a special invitation, but there will be no Invitation except the general Invitation through the press. The line of march will be very short ,and will consume only an hour, from to g., 50 that those who are going away can turn out and not interfere with their ex- cursion.

 HOWARD AVENUE CONGREGATIONAL '.ss CHURCH.
 The Howard avenue Congregational church paper says: "The Sunday even- ing services have been suspended until the September communion. There are doubtless some who would prefer to have them continued, but the numbers are small, and there is so little satisfac- tion in holding service in heated church on summer Sunday evening with scattering. congregation that the very general feeling is in favor of omit ing this service.
 This service has been of a different charaoterfor the past year from that used in former years, and in some respects it has been quite satisfactory, but it has not by any means been m unlimited success, It is not proposed here to dis onss the form of this service-this win be done when the time comes for resunl- ing it-but it is proper to say that many persons outside of our congregation have rendered valued assistance, and it Is hardly fair to expect this to continue indefinitely, at least to the extent to which it has been carried this year."
