EVERYTHING WENT SMOOTHLY.

Electric Motors Tried ON n New York
Elevated Road.
NEW YORK, October 5.-An electric
motor made its first public trip this morn
ing on the Third avenue elevated road. on
the branch running down 34th street from
Sd avenue to the Long Island City ferry.
The first train was started at o o'clock. and
from that time on the trips were made
regularly. Apparently. everything went
smoothly and the cars carried passengers
regularly.
The motor itself Is box eight feet high.
made of wood, eighteen feet long. and in
the middle of it Is small square COM
partment, where the motorman stands,
with four windows in the front and FOUR
in the rear. This Is the highest part Of
the motor. At the ends are compartments
sloping toward the ends. where they are
only three feet high. These compartments
contain the storage battery. OF the 256
storage cells, of two volts each. to be
used, 56 are now in the motor and 2OO in
four boxes standing on the middle rail of
the track near the far end, and connected
with the third rail of the track on which
the motor runs. This rail stands Just be-
yond the regular rail- further from the
platform. ten inches above it. and it feeds
from the power house into the storage bat
terry.
electricity than there is on storage on the
motor. it will draw through the third rail.
The rail is exposed and Is to a certain ex
tent dangerous. man can walk on 1t
without injury. but if he should touch
the outer guard rail or otherwise make
connection at the same time he was stand
ing ON this third rail ne would receive a
severe shock.
The connection Is made by two steel
shoes reaching from the lower edge Of the
motor and clasping the rail.
The motor will be used on this branch
alcne until its success is assured, before 1t
Is Dut on the main line.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. October a-London's fall
ure to respond to the more pacific political
outlook in eastern Europe and a slight
reaction in local political sentiment, had a
depressing influence on values during the
early trading this morning. The character
of the selling, while indicating moderate
realizing, was not generally regarded
being either significant or permanent. Buy
Ing orders came in from commission
houses at the decline, and in many in
stances good buying restored early prices.
The weakness of foreign exchange WAS
largely responsible for the midday
covery. the possibility of renewed gold i'm
ports encouraging purchases. An Increase
in the supply of commercial drawings and
decrease in the demand from remitters
necessitated a reduction in rates in order
to attract business. Judged from the latter
standpoint. however, the declining move
ment was not entirely satisfactory. Fur
ther weakness in exchange rates might at
tract some additional gold from abroad.
but the majority of the larger foreign
houses don't anticipate immediate consign-
ments Of more than nominal amounts.
The manipulation in Manhattan WAS
again feature of the transactions in rail-
road shares. an early decline OF l per cent
being followed by a sharp recovery of IA
per cent. Possible changes In motive power
whereby material saving will be effected
liz op. rating expenses were credited with
supplying the Incentive for the advance. A
reduction In all grades of domestic sugars
caused some selling of the stock of the
American company. Realizing sales were
especially noticeable In this property dur
irg the early trading.
A well-distributed impression that re-
action must intervene prior to the Cleo
tions, while based on no tangible grounds,
is responsible for practically all of the con-
fidence in lower prices. The short account
