 Dry Goods.
 New York, Dec. 5.--Dfy goods are firm. The reports received here today from out of town distributing points still reflect gen. erally quiet conditions in the dry goods mar ket in both the retail and jobbing trades, but indicate some improvement over the average experiences for November and the prospects of a material increase in business this month. The effect of this will probably be felt later on in. the primary market. The feature of the spring business doing just now is the demand for novelties in fine printed and woven patterned goods. There has been no change in the tone of the mar ket for either cotton or woolen goods.

New York, Dec. 5.-Stoeks were irregular, but in the main weak. There were heavy notably Leather preferred and Tobacco, and moderate selling of Louisville and and Deny CT and Rio Grande preferred for London account. The sales for foreign count were estimated at from 12,000 to 14000 shares. An advance in sterling exchange here and the uncertainty of gold exports by Saturdays steamers added to the bearish feeling It is thought that at least s1, ,O00- 900, and perhaps as much as S3, 000000 will be forwarded on the day named.

turtles, thirty-three Cardinals being Ital-
ians and twenty-seven of other national
tiles.
At the present moment France and Ger
many have each six Cardinals. Each Gov
eminent is anxious to have other Cardi-
mails, in order to increase its influence at
the next conclave. Some possible candi-
dates for the Papacy are supposed to be
friendly to the Triple Alliance, while
others pass for being in favor of France.
When French Government goes in for
anti-elericalism the Pope can show his dis
pleasure by refusing to create further
Cardinals in France, and this is keenly
felt even by free-thinking politicians.
England is the only great Western power
that does not go footstep out of her way
to get new Cardinals. She has only one
Cardinal, Mgr. Vaughan. Ireland has
Cardinal Logue, Australia has Cardinal
Moran, Archbishop of Sidney, and Canada
Cardinal Taschereau, Archbishop of Que

ALAMEDA.

Two fires occurred in the West End yes
terday morning. They are supposed to be
of incendiary origin. The first fire oc-
curred at about 1 :15 o'clock in the house
of Daniel Healey, 1885 Mozart street. Mr..
and Mrs. Healey had left home early in
the morning with the children for Niles
CANYON and returned home about 1:3o
O'Clock at night. Mrs. Heaiey was awak-
ened by noticing bright light from the
window and her husband extinguished the
flames before much damage had been
done. - s,;oa
The fire was started with kindllng WOOD

While the neighbors were discussing the
origin of the fire an alarm was turned IN
by officer Brown from box IL.
This blaze was in the rear OF a. u. Cush-
ing's dwelling at 916 Santa Clara avenue.
The damage to the house and furniture Is
estimated at $1,000, fully covered by lnsur-
ance. Mrs. Gushing was awakened by the

Mr.. Gushing rushed downstairs, and on

ture road and cars, now on exhibition in
the History building. The model consists
of a sixty-foot track of circular shape, with
up and down grades, switches and sharp
curves. Over this speeds miniature car,
the open-work of the track showing the
manner in which the car receives the mo-
tive power.
Underneath the car is long flexible
metal bar, which is held in position by a
front, rear and center support. In the
conduit at intervals the length of the
car, or correctly speaking, the metal bar,
are placed small rollers through which the
necessary current is supplied. This cur
rent come from wires laid between the
tracks in .erra Gotta or iron pipes con-
necte6 wit3 each roller by a small wire.
These rob s are topheavy, so to speak,
and until sted up by the iron rod under
meath the r act as a cutoff for the deadly
current. Earting at given point the
metal rod Afts up one of these little rollers,
the motorkan turns on the current and
the car sptNd to the next, just reaching it,
as the starEng-point roller, released by the
car, drops 2,ack to its place. BY this in
genious yT simple device continuous
current isSkept up, yet it is never open
except at tee point where the car rests.
eve cah place our system on every
cable road IN San Francisco and not inter
fere with traffic one moment" said Mr..
Bridges, the inventor, yesterday.
"Should amy of the contact rollers get
out of ordeS another can be put in without
the slightest delay to traffic. 1t is easy to
keep in order because none of the parts
are concealed in the conduit. At intervals
of every 200 or 800 feet the conduit will
have catch. basin, and as each is pro-
vided with a sweeper or scraper any
debris falling into the conduit would be
carried to the basin, thus making it an
easy matter to keep clean. The construc-
ton of road of this Kind would be about
the same as a cable, but the wiring and
other material can be placed underneath
much cheaper than the trolley.
Another thing in favor of my system is
that, should the conduit be come filled with
water. it would not interfere with running
the road in the least"
Nearly every railroad man and electri-
clan in San Francisco has thoroughly ex-
amined the system invented by Mr..
Bridges, and they all unite in saying that
1t is perfect.
There is some talk of the Market-street
people taking hold of Mr.. Bridges patent
or at least giving it a trial on one of their
roads.
A very ingenious device in connection
with the new system is the manner in
which the steep-hill difficulty is overcome.
AS the car approaches the foot of a grade
the current is shut off, when an endless
chain, working autom atically, grasps a
projecting rod, pulls the car up the incline,
and by similar automatic arrangement
releases it when the top is reached.

hen will take refuge with the innocent,

the old farmer enters with large torch,
and woe to the unfortunate individual
whose pantaloons are not besmeared with

he cannot restore the stolen property he
will be compelled to refund its value.
In other cases the loser of articles of

pronounces the names of his acquaint-
ances. If the sieve threatens to fall at the
pronunciation of any name its owner is
pronounced the culprit.
Still another method is employed for the
apprehension of thieves. A bowl is filled
to the brim with water. The names of the
members of the family and acquaintances
are written on small slips of paper These
are rolled up and thrown on the water s
surface. The paper bits that remain
within the bowl contain the names of the
innocent. If one or more fall out they con-
tain the names of the thieves, or at least of
those having guilty knowledge OF the
theft.-New York Recorder.

NEW ELECTRIC SYSTEM,
A San Franciscan Has Solved
the Underground Elec-
trio Problem.
ENDORSED BY ELECTRICIANS
BY an Automatic Arrangement q
Car Can Climb the Steep
est Hills.

For long time mechanical and cleo
trical experts have been endeavoring to
solve the problem of cheap yet perfect
underground electric system. There are
any number of high priced inventions, but
it is just this one thing of cost that pre-
vents their coming into general use. New
York is to-day putting into operation a
system in which the overhead wire is done
away with, but the cost is immense, hence
it is not likely to come into general use.
The problem of cheapness as well as per-
feet service seems to have been solved by
c. NJ. Bridges, San Franciscan, who has
his idea, in the shape OF well-built minia-
