Adopt 1t on Short Lines.

Adopt Ii on Short Lines.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company las
just completed test of the relative merits
Of steam and electricity on one cf its
short lines, between Mt. Holly and East
Burlington, in the State of New Jersey
One CT the tests showed that the speed.
attained on several trips was seventy -four
miles an hour.
1t is believed in railroad circles that the
Pennsylvania system will in cnmpaia-
lively short time have in operation, be
tween New York and this city, a line
operated entirely by electricity, This is
dependent on the perfection of the third
ran system, which is now being expert
nented with extensively by this company.
The local interest in these operations nf
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company IS hat
IL is expected that the electric line be

electric road system, of which the .Ecking-
tor and Soldiers Home Railroad is a part

The Washington, Mt. Vernon and Alex
