position. Projecting at right angles from
this is a long metal rod, bent in the
form of L. Both ends of this rcd are
attached TO tho upright, while the closed
end Of the q strikes the feed-wire; and
as the car moves along it retains that
POSITION, receiving the current and traus-
mitting it 10 the upright, from which it
passes 10 the motor beneath the car in
the usual manner.
The comparatively few poles that are
required 10 support this single feed-wire
are placed in dias oraI positions on op-
posite sides Of the street. They are
spaced eco feet apart, and the wires
which supp ort the fccd-wire are strung
UPON them in a zizzag line With wires
so arranged it is claimed that the strain
on the poles is reduced one-half, while
the lateral pull is balanced one. The
weight is also reduced one-half, in con-
sequence of which much lighter poles
can be used.
As the current is taken from the side
OF the wire instead of from beneath, the
trolley of cars on the different tracks
do not interfere with each other 1t is
further claimed that a much higher speed
can be obtained by this system than by
the old method. as there is absolutely no
way in which the trolley can get off the
wires, unless some part of the apparatus
breaks-untif the motorman releases a
spring in the top of the car above his head
and allows the trolley to swing back
over the car.
The experiments thus far made withthe
single wire have proved very successful,
and number Of Western lines are said
to be seriously considering the ACCESSIBILITY
OF adopting it.

paths lie open for man who has $40 900

behind him as he rides.
Herrick had only the most shadowv

money. He did not even speculate upon tba
manner of its loss. t had passed into the
control of one who needed it, and that was
enough
He disposed OF the notes in his pockets in
the best interests of comfort and safety
Then he folded up the brown paper and
pocketed that also, with a dim consciousness
that If it were left in the cab it might
get the driver into trouble. The fellow was
honest, no doubt, and Herrick did not wish
that he should suffer wrong. He preferred
to keep the wrapper himself and take the
risk of it until he could find some means
or disposing OF it that would be safer than
throwing itout ofthe cab window.
How to leave the cab was a Question

wish to confront the driver again, for

BIS CREDITORS IN TEARS.
A Strange Meeting OF John L. Nor
ton and 400 Men He Owed.


Noron's Opera House. at Lockport, III,
WAS Saturday the scene of a remarkable
performance that was presented without
the aid OF stage manager or rehearsal The
play had no title, though it might have been
called True Friendship or Triumph
Of Confidence or something like that, and
the dramats pcrsonac incIadel both those
on the stage and those who were seated in
the auditorium.
1t was the discussionoft the business affairs
OF John L. Norton by Mr. Norton and his
creditors, and 4U0 men who ordinarily never
think Of violating the time -honored rule to
Danish sentiment from business wept and
gave themselves up TO the indulgence Of
those emotions that are supposed to be the
exclusive privileges Of their wives and
daughters.
1t was perhaps the most remarkable as
semblage of creditors that ever faced u
bankrupt in Illinois. The remarkable part
Of 1T all was the sentiment that moved
them John Norton & Co. at the time of
their failure owed 81 ,315 ,345, and SATURDAY.
hundreds OF the creditors wept in sympa-

he made brave, cheerful speech to them

Gently that partial verifination has been
given to this local belief.
Below a stratum of twenty feet of light
soil, says Mt. Booth, mass OF very coarse
gravelbearing water is found. Its depth
is from fifty-seyen to sixty-five feet and
it rests upon hard blue clay that holds the
water. For mile the flume has been con
structed by the West Los Angeles Water
Company. This ditch is six feet wide and
four feet deep. Built through the coarse
gravel, the water percolates from all sides
into the duct, and steadily increases IN
volume until the daily flow is claimed
to be 100000 gallons. Thus far the
water has been conducted through thirty
inch pipe for distance OF seven miles

DOUBLE TRACK
AND SINGLE WIRE

a new trolley system, by which the
cars OF a douhle-track road draw the
current from a single wire, has just been
invented 10y n Denver man
This -invention, in addition to being
cheaper in construction than the double
wire system, has the advantage OF re-
quring only about one-half the usual num-
ber OF poleS-which, from an aristocratic
rs well aS business point OF view, is an
important consideration.
Instead OF being strung directly over the
center Of each track, like the wires OF the
ordinary trolley system, the single-feed
wire is suspended above and directly be-
tween the two tracks 1t differs in shape
from the old-style wire in being broad
and flat, more like metal tape
The manner in which the electric cur
rent is taken from the feed-wire and
carried 10 the cars is, how ever, the most
noticeable Characteristic OF the new
scheme.
The familiar long trolley pole, with its
nervC-racking traveller, is rot used, but
in its place there projects from the top
of the car an upright, firmly secured in

The Captains Wife Ends Her vigil

(From the New York Mail and Express.
Mrs Roberts, the wife of the commander
of the British ship Lord Dufferin, has Civ
en- up her faithful watch for that vessel,
and Saturday started back for England on
the Cunard Line steamer, Campania
To meet her husband, who had sailed the
vessel out of Rio, bound for New York,
this blue eyed young woman came to this
city from England two months or more
ago Blithe she was then, and happy in
the expectation of soon meeting her hus-
band, to whom she had been married in
the early part of last year.
In the stricken mourner who dropped
over the gangplank Of the Campania to
make her lonely return to England few
would have recognized the bright-eyed lit
tie woman who debarked here two months
ago The Lord Duffe rim sailed from Rio
for New York on october 8 and has not
since been heard from.
The ship is now seventy days overdue at
this port and is believed to have foundered
with everybody on board, about thirty
three men in all.

Particular About His Divorce.

(From the Chicago Tribune)
James Burke Roche, who married Miss
Work, of New York, obtained last week
from the court OF chancery a perpetual in
junction restraining the printers and pub
fishers of Burke's PeeraSe from again
stating in that publication that he was
divorced on his wife's petition. The suit
was instituted by him because, when he
was returned to parliament for the Killar-
ney division of Kerry as a National, the
Dublin Independents, RedmoHd's paper, ac-
cused him Of having been divorced by his
wife. He relied on the fact that the Eng
lish courts refused to- recognize as legal
the American divorce obtained By his wife.

Power Company
Mr.. Norton's auditors listened with in
creasng interest 10 his story. The narrative
OF this giant of business, bowed with the
burden OF his misfortune, was pathetic, but
when he proudly told how his family's pri-
vate fortune had been given up to save family
honor, ana how he had struggled against
the big odds, the dramatic climax was COM
plete, and practically the entire assemblage
was moved TO tears.
The result of the meeting was the ap-
