A MOTOR HOUSE
On the Electric Cars-It Corresponds to
the Pilot House of Steamer.

Manager Newman, of the street rail-
way company, takes every step that Is
possible to improve the equipment of the
railway plant, especially the rolling
stock Of the electric lines. His most re-
cent move is in the interest of the mo-
torman and conductor, as we'll as the
passengers. He is having plans drawn
for glass and wood structure to enclose
the platforms of the cars. SO as to pro-
tect the motor man and conductor IN
winter weather, and yet be removable
in summer, as then they would have the
effect of hothouses
The law in Ohio demands that there
shall be such protection on the ENDS OF
the street cars, but the motor house
in use there is singular in shape. having
a projection, wherein the crank is turned.
If possible movea BILE house will be de-
signed for the Deering cars that will be
a thing OF beauty as well as comfort.
After all, there is no more reason why
a motorman should face the cold and
storm unprotected than that pilot of
SIudll SlcdluSI SAOulus AoA oASAS eiS
places where there is no pilot house. The
swift steamers that cross the Channel,
from France to England, have simply an
open platform like that on street car,
and all winter long the pilots brave the
elements when they might just as we'll
be inside warm pilot house.
There is no certainty as yet that the
electric cars will be equipped as men-
toned above, for it may be found i'm
practic BILE to design just the movable
shelter that is desired, but it would GER
ainly be good thing, and would largely
increase the capacity of the cars. for on
these cold winter mornings and nights,
when a large throng is going to work
and coming home again a good many
men stand on the ends when it is crowd
ed inside, and to them the shelter would
be very acceptable.

ENGLISH STEAMER NOTES.
The Numidian's Big Cargo-Five Hundred
Dollars for Sheep Pens. Eg

The Numidian, Ssof the Allan line, ar
rived yesterday, with the largest cargo Oh
the season, having over 1000 tons. The
manifest contained. over 600 separate
items, showing the large number OF Or
ders that went across the Atlantic from
Canadian importers. The United States
inspectors have to see to it that all these
separate articles on the manifest are rep
resented in the cargo. The shed was a
fragrant place yesterday at the first OF
the unloading, because the oranges and
lemons were piled in great quantities,
and filed the air with their odor. There
were 1887 cases of oranges and 224 cases
of lemons. One item of the cargo was
case of objects OF religion" as stated
on the manifest. 1t was imported by
man in Quebec, who deals in objects
used in the Catholic church, such as ro-
saries, statues. medals, pictures. fonts.
candle sticks, etc.
The Numidian brought three interme-
date and 10 Storage passengers.
The Hibernian having discharged in
few hours her few tons of cargo for this
port, cleared yesterday for New York.
None of the Rosarian's cargo has ar
rived yet from Canada, and she is lying
at the dock with nothing but silence
and solitude about her, compared to the
hustle and hurry about the other steam
ers. This is very unusual spectacle in
connection with an English steamer at
this port, as it is generally scene of
hurry and noise from the time they Jar
rive till they depart.
The Sarnia will sail Thursday. She
will take a deck load of sheep, and they
will probably be put into the pens to-
day. The value of the steamers to Port
land is shown in this connection by the
fact that the spruce lumber necessary
for these pens was purchased from
Portland firm, and cost at least $500.
Last year the Texas required $1,000
worth of lumber for her cattle sheds for
only one voyage. Besides the lumber,
the hay and grainsfor the sheep and cat
tie are purchased in Portland and
amount to even more money.

A Surprise All Round.

Last evening wholesale house OH
Commercial street was unloading car,
and had long skids extending from the
car to the store door. 1t was dark, and
there was no light to mark the obstruc-
ton, and when horse car swung around
the corner from Pearl street, the driver
did not see the skids until almost upon
them. The brake was quickly applied,
but failed to stop the car quick enough,
and the horses struck the skids, FORUM
ately knocking them over, without
being injured themselves. For moment
it looked as if there would be damage
done. but the horses were soon controlled.
