The Prophecy That Carriages without

The Prophecy That Carriages without
Horses Shall Run Fulfilled.
KANSAS CITY, December pa horse
less carriage went swimming along the
smooth asphalt of Fourteenth street in
the vicinity of Cherry street to-day, full
filling Mother Symptoms prophecy that
carriages without borses shall run"
and terrifying two negroes who saw
sparks and apparently sulphurous flames
issuing from under it. The vehicle was
an electric carriage of Kansas City in
vention and manufacture, and is the
only one in the United States, although
similar ones are used in the Old World.
The inventor is DR.. H. G. Baker, and it
was patented by himself and J. III. FL
berg, the maker. F. S. Patton has charge
of the electricity and the machine worked
perfectly. A speed of eleven miles an
hour was obtained. The carriage is
about the size of an ordinary one. One
seat holding three persons faces the front,
and another one that will accommodate
a similar number faces the rear. A stor-
age battery, composed of five series of
five cells each, furnishes a current OF
671a 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 rear wheels,
which are feet 2 inches in diameter,
have on their inner sides cast-iroD
fange 26 inches in diameter and inches
wide. Motion from the dynamo, which
is over the hind wheels axle, is COM
municated to the fange by rawhide
friction pulley, revolving from 800 to
1000 times minute, and is capable of
being elevated or depressed at will by
the driver by means of a foot-lever. The
steering is done by toothed segment
and pinion attached to the axle of the
fore wheels and handled by a steering
post manipulated by the driver with his
hands. It can make two quick, short
turns. The storage batteries will run
the machine about seven or eight hours.
The Kansas City invention weighs about
1000 pounds, and is quicker than the
European coaches.

The People of Drought-B1asted Ne

NIoBRARA, Neb., December 25.-The
suffering among the inhabitants of the
drought blasted part of Nebraska, in
Guiding three-fourths of the residents Of
five counties, is becoming more intense
daily, and immediate steps alone can pre-
vent many deaths by starvation. Three
years ago the farmers of these drought
blighted counties raised very light crop,
and the last two years the crops have
been almost total failures. Many fam
lilies have not enough provisions in their
homes for one weeks sustenance and no
money with which to purchase the ne
cessities of life. The sufferers cannotob-
tain employment and unless they receive
aid very soon, it is the general opinion
that many will starve to death, and
should the weather turn very cold many
will freeze to death, as it is a fact that
many are barefooted and have scarcely
sufficient clothing to cover their naked
ness. A mother and her two babes were
found dead in their cabin this week. /.
is supposed the mother had been con-
fined to her bed by sickness and that she
and her two little ones starved to death.

The Recommendations Made by Indian
Agents in Their Annual Reports.
WASHINGTON, December 29.-General
complaint against the issuance of gov
eminent rations to the Indians is made
in the annual reports of agents. Captain
P. Fl. Ray of the Shoshone agency,
Wyoming, says: "They will never be-
come self-supporting SO long as the gov
eminent gives them the semblance of
support; neither can they begin to &C
cumulate property so long as the supply
Of the necessaries of life is solely in the
hands OF white traders" Another fac
tor retarding the development COM
planned of by Captain Ray is the fact
that chiefs are allowed to dictate to the
AGENT as to the issue OF annuities and
affairs of the agency. The removal OF
troublesome chiefs is recommended. Inc
Shoshones are regarded as communists,
who are 10th to take up any untried pur-
suit. Their agent recommends thaC the

money now used for rations be devoted
to the payment of Indian labor.
The international treaty governing

SANTA Rosa, CAL, December 26--
There was considerable excitement to-
day over the sale of delinquent tax prop
erty, the result of the refusals on the
part of prominent property owners to
pay the special water tax recently held
to be valid by Judge Ham of Napa:
Marshal Steadman gave them all until
II O'Clock to pay taxes, and then pro-
ceeded with the sale. Many paid up,
but about 100000 worth OF property
was sold. Among the property. sold we're
the Santa Rosa water works, the depot;
tracks and yards of the San Francisco
and North Pacific railway and many fine
residences in the heart of the city. j..
HI. Brush, President of the Santa Rosa
National Bank, bought the water works,
the railroad depot and much other prop
erty. Other prominent purchasers were
B. M. Spencer, w. G. Oldham and Max
Heymann of this city, G. NJ. Fitz, Y.
Kelsey and A. M. Haines OF San Fran
cisco. It is expected there will be inter
esting litigation growing out OF the sale
of this property by the Marshal.
