Electric Carriage.

KANSAS CRY, Mo, Dec. pa
horseless carriage went skimming
along the smooth asphalt of Four
teenth street in the vicinity ofCherry
street to day, fulfilling Mother
Symptoms prophecy that "Carriages
without horses shall rum" and ter
rifying two negroes, who saw sparks
and, apparently, sulphurous flames
issuing from under it.
The vehicle was an electric ar.
riage, of Kansas City invention and
manufacture, and is the only one in
the United States. The machine
worked perfectly. A speed of II
miles an hour was obtained.
The carriage is about the size OF
an ordinary vehicle. One seat faces
the front and another one faces to the
rear. A storage battery, composed
Of five series of five cells each, fur
nishes a current of 81. ohms, and
the cells are arranged in three tiers
beneath the seats. The wheels are
of wood, with India rubber cushions
on the tires. The hind wheels, which
are 3 feet 2 inches in diameter. have
on their inner sides a cast iron
fiange &c inches in diameter and !
inches wide. Power from the bat
teries is communicated to the fiange
by a rawhide friction pulley, revolv.
ing from 600 to 1000 times a minute,
and is capable of being elevated OIL
depressed at will by the driver by
means of drivers, on which he places
his feet. The steering is done by 8
toothed segment and pinion attached
to the axle of the fore wheels anc
handled by a steering post, manipu
lated by the driver with his hands
The carriage can make quick, shor
turns. The storage batteries will
run the machine about seven o
eight hours. The carriage weigh
about 1000 pounds, and is quicke
and lighter than the European
coaches.

TELEPHONE WIRES ALL RIGHT.
a Live Wire Causes a Commotion
On Reratania Street.

Fortunately, the present severe
storm has done but little damage
to the telephone wires, and at no
time during the past week have the
outer districts been cut off from
Honolulu. Superintendent Cas-
sidy has kept a strict watch over
the entire local system, and as soon
as crosswire is located no time is
lost in setting it right. Of course,
some trouble is experienced from
falling branches, but the damage is
nothing, compared to storms of
past years.
The people who reside in the
neighborhood of Washington Place
had bad scare on Saturday night
about 9o'clock. A wire connected
with an arc lamp parted and
dropped on the ground in front of
Mrs. Deminis' residence. For
some time, streaks of flame could
be seen issuing from the end Of the
wire, but no damage was done.
Reports from Nuuanu Valley say
that the reservoirs are still filled to
overfowing.
