Richardson OF Hartford and Austin Cor

there until they reached manhood. DR.
Richardson. in speaking of his old school
mate. related an incident of especial inter
est, in view of the cause of the death OF
Mr.. Corhn. AS has been stated I'm the ac-
counts Of last Thursdays accident the
Corbin homestead is located on a HILL the
town roadway being at the base along the
side of Sugar river. A semicirCuar drive
way leads from the house to the road. In
being driven down to the roadway the
horses started. throwing the occupants of
the carriage against stone wall. Mr.. Cor
hin and his coachman Were killed. When

driveway and thrown against the stone

CLIMBING HEAVY GRADES.
Ingenious Electrical Schemes for
Mounting San Francisco Hills.

From the Philadelphia Record.
To a passenger riding trolley car
the ascent of a heavy grade or hill does
not impress one with the fact that a much
greater amount Of power is required to
propel the than is necessary on a level
track. This is quite evident where horse
cars arr employed, and an extra or hill
horse is necessary. Nevertheless, if not
apparent. the effect remains the same. and
motors of larger sizes have TO be installed
on the cars Ior this very reason. For in
stance, at a given speed a on a per
cent grade, that is a grade Of six feet rise
in every 100 feet Of track. about seven
times as much power is required as would
be necessary on a level track. and grades
greater than this require correSpondineiy
larger expenditure of power to surmount.
To supply this power On lines containing
heavy grades. motors of greater capacity
have to be adopted, and consequently they
have to be operated greater part of the
time at light and hence inefficient loads.
Grades greater than 10 per cent necessitate
such large motors that where IL is possible
other auxiliary power is employed on the
grades. Below follows a description of
three typical ways in which particularly
heavy Grades are assembled. These at
Mount Lowe. near Pasadena, Cal, in San
Francisco on Fillmore street, and on Rain
Ter avenue. in Seattle. Wash. In the mat
ter of ascending long. heavy grades prob
cdDiS power IS more convenient anu
efficient than electric power.
At Mount Lowe two cars are perma-
Eently attached at opposite ends of cable
that passes around a winding drum in the
power house at the top OF the grade. The
force of gravity on the descending car
aids the ascending car in its ascent The
track construction is composed of three
rails, with a turnout at the center of the
route, where the cars pass each other The
system is controlled entirely from the

tive difference is offset by a brake on this
winder. Here grades as high as 6S per
cent are Surmounted.

there is a practical double track street

assists the ascending car on the same prin-
cipe as AT Mount Lowe. The positive DIFF

cars and the friction of the gearing cables.
