new STREET CLEANING CAR
II Not Only Sweeps, But Carries
Away the Dirt.
An Invention Which May Revolution
ize Municipal Street Sweeping.
Sanitary Condition of Big Cities.

One of the strongest claims made Tor
the introduction of the electric railway
in the early days, especially in the large
cities, was that the retirement OF the morse
from street car service would be vast
benefit to the health and appearance Of
the city.
In the big cities where large numbers OF
horses Were used ON street railway lines,
says the Western ELECTRICIAN, it " as found
difficult and expensive 10 keep the pfih-
Cipal thoroughiares clean, and IL was
readily admitted that any changes that
would relieve the STREETS of this obnoxious
incumbrance would Ibs desirable.
1t is now proposed to utilize electricity
still further In imprdring the sanitary con-
dition OF the maip-arteries OF large mu-
inequalities by employing an electrically
propelled and electrically operated street
cleaning car that Will not only sweep tue
pavement, but carry away the dirt. The
question OF cleaning city streets has al
ways been seriuas problem for munich
pal governments and in such cities as Chi
cago and New York the expense of keep
ing the pavements in good condition has
been So great as to prove burden upon
the taxpayers. 1t must he admitted thAt
as well as expensive.
Many attempts have been made to m
troduce improved machines, mechanically
operated, and good deal of study and eX-
perimental work has been done, bath moth
ing satisfactory has been developed in tins
line. with TIE general adoption OF clec-
tricity upon street railways, however,
new field Of ex pertinent was opened up, and
the reslltsthus far accomplished are grat'tV-
ing and encouraging. Tie latest develop
ment in this line is the electric seif-lcading
car. THIS car is 90 feet long, feet VIDE
and IL feet liGh, and it is supported IN
double trucks.
1t is said TO be the largest street car in
the world, ana presents many distinctive
features. IL is equipped with three ei.c-

TOOK ALL THE ASSETS.
Confidential Man of Chicago Firm
Disappears With n Widow.

Chicago. Nov. 30. F. Hall, confideE-
tial man for the Stockman's Commission
Company, doing business at the stockyards,
has Lisappea red. and the officers of the
concern assert that the entire assets OF
the company, amounting to $4,000 in
cash and negotiable securities, are not to
be found.
Halls whereabouts are not positively
known, but il is intimated that widow
who lives in Western city may know
something about him. 1t is said that some
time ago he became acquainted with the
woman and he became enamored or her.
She was in Chicago few days ago, and
it is believed Hall has left town with her.
Halls disappearance, presumably with
the funds Of the concern, has forced the
Stockman's Commission Company to cease
business. 1t has notified the banks and its
patrons that 1t will not resume. Hall was
for years the trusted man for the Camp
bell Commission Company and when that
concern failed he became coI9dential man
for the Stockman's Commission Company.

serves to pick up all dust and atomized
matter and send 1t up and over the brush,
leaving absolutely clean pavcments.
The car formed one of the principal
features of the st. Louis meeting of the
American street Railway Asso cia tion,
as 1t was shown in practical operation
on the streets of that city during the con-
yention. The builders have made a study
of this problem and they claim that a rter
exhaustive investigation and much prlc-
ucal experiencethcyh have found it absolutely
impossible to accomplish the same results
with any form of mechanical sweepinr
and loading machines which are worked
on the uneven pavements.
They claim, further, that il is a me-
chanical impossibility TO sweep and load
the dirt and snow except by utilizing
the street rail way tracks. Another point
which they claim TO have established is
that with the elasticity of n large brush
driven by an electric motor. placed cen-
trally in a suitable car with double trucks
running on steel rails, they are able to
accomplish an almost unlimited amount
OF street cleaning at less than onefourth
the present cost of doing very inferior
work.
Concerning the operation of the car, Of
which a picture is herewith given, the
inventor claims that it moves as smoothly
as a Pullman car, and with brushes prop
erly adjusted there is not one-fourth the
wear and tear upon the machinery, and the
work is done in one-eighth of the time re-
uured to do 1t by any device not running
on rails. Indeed, it is now broadly claimed
that all tho nrincipal streets of n city NAV

and a. m, with all the sweeplngS re-

Clcilan emerged but once from his self
sought retirement. in 1877 he was nOu-
mated for governor by the New Jersey
Democrats and elected. This WAS the
only political office he ever held, and
when his term was over he returned to his
pleasant home in orange, where the balance
of his life was spent. He died suddenly,
without warning of illness, some ten years
ago. Huratio Seymour survived for u
dozen years or more his crushing defeat
by Grant in o6S, but thereafter took small,
il any, part in public affairs. Horace
Greeley died less than a month after the
election of 1S72. His death, however, was
not due to disappointment at his failure
to reach the Presidency-he had known
TOR weeks that the tide had set strongly
against him-but to the exhaustion of the
campaign, followed, as it was, by the
tender nursing Of his Wife, who fell Ill
and died few weeks before election day.
The strain was too great. Insomnia
The strain was too great. Insomnia seized
HIM with ali its horrors. ana IT seemed to
those who knew him as if he, realizing that
he had dangerously strained his physical
ana mental powers, gave up at once with

Gen. Hancock was never heard to repinc
of his defeat by Garfield, in 1880, and
Blaine, within week of his defeat four
years later, was hard at work on the second
volume of his Twenty Years of Congress, -
