Storage Battery Railroad.

According to the Electrical Engineer this
country is at last going to have a real stor-
age battery road, not an experimental line
of a few cars, but a full-fedged road, and
Chicago is to boast of this progress. The
road is called the Englewood & Chicago,
and is equipped with the most modern con-
struction throughout, both as regards
track, powerhouse and road, so that the
greatest economy of fuel and labor will be
attained at the central charging station,
wherein provision has been made in the
design so that the engines may be con-
stantly operated at their most economical
load. This road is already IN operation, at
least a portion of the equipment is run
ming, but the remainder has not yet been
completely installed. Each car will carry
p batteries, each sx5x1S inches, Weighing
four tons and capable of delivering fifty
horse power.

H. Clay Arnold, who for the past twen-
ty years has conducted a drug store at
Fifth and Main streets, has purchased the
drug store of Johnson Bros, at 1107 Main

son of shrewd management and judicious
advertising built up a large retail busi-
ness. They attribute to the discreet use
of printers ink much of the success which
has attended their efforts.
The store will close Tuesday morning of

PARENTS GO TO A DANCE.
And Come Home to Find Five Of Their
Children Burned to Death.

And Come Home to Find Five or The1f
Children Burned to Death.
Hamilton, Mo-, Nov. 23.-Five chill
dren of Mr.. and Mrs. Snyder Neal, liv-
ing five miles north Of the city, were
burned to death Saturday night. The
Neal dwelling was burned while the
parents were attending dance. They
had eight children. The Oldest. boy
Of IS years, and a baby accompanied the
parents to ball. About II o'clock the
party broke up. Soon after starting
home, the Meals, and those accompany
ing them, discovered that the Neal resi-
dence was on fire.
When they reached the burning build
ing the father saw his 11-year-old girl
lying burning in the front door, clasp
ing her three-year-old brother in her
arms. The flames prevented rescue.
The children were then dead. The
father fell in swoon and has been a
raving maniac ever since. Nora. nine
years old, is the only survivor of the
fire. She says that the children at home,
Guile, 10; Hattie, II; Willie, Z; Clar-:
ence. 5: Julian, 8. and herself, retired
at the usual hour in an upstairs cham
Der. The next she knew the fire was
coming through the floor, and the build
ing was enveloped in flames. She says
that all six were aroused. She rushed
to a second-story window and jumped
to the ground, calling to the others to
follow, as the fire had cut off escape by
the stairway. 1t is thought the fire
was caused by an incendiary.
