WHEN 1T WILL PAY TO CHANGE.
1.-THE characteristics brought out by these fig
ures are the enormous number Of passengers per
mile the large receipts per mile Of road, and per
car mile and the greater total number carried
on electric roads. The steam road gets greater
ceipts yer trip, but carries each passenger a long
.r distance, and has 10 run disheartening num-
her of cars or train miles for the passengers car
RED The difference is due TO the short trips
high fare per passenger and car mile, and the
leave at -yourdoor service Of electric roads. AS
MIR argument Is confined, for reasons stated, to
suburban and interurban short hauls. we think
II plain from what goes before that the adoption
OF electricity as a mode of operation, with the
additional change TO the prevailing methods of
our present street railways giving nearly the
same class of service combined not with
steam locomotives as the case may require). will
result to steam roads in an enormous increase of
the total passengers carried. passengers per car
mile and rate received per mile. and will shorten
the distance each passenger is hauled and, by
thus increasing the gross receipts. Will more than
pay for the additional investment. II this can
not be done in any given case. then II will not
pay to make the change"
Mr.. Davis thinks It probable that electricity
could be profitably substituted for steam on six
suburban routes leading out Of Philadelphia: To
Wilmington, on the Baltimore and Washington
branch: TO Paoli, on the main line; TO German
town and Chestnut Hill. TO NOrristOwn TO Ia
cony and 10 West Chester. One power station
might supply them all with current. The bridge
over the Schuylkill into the Broad-st station
should be widened. he thinks. so to carry four
more tracks; and each Of the routes should have
one more extra tracks.
He suggests that the same general treatment
of terminal facilities should be studied In the
following cases The New-Haven lines out OF

EDITOR FEARS AN ATTACK.
Eight or Ten Men on His Heels De-
handing Correction.

Augusta, Ga, July IA serio-comic
affair occurred to-day, in which Editor
r. e. Butler Of the Lancet and Tax Col
formers.
Butler publishes a Saturday afternoon
paper that seeks to be a rather warm
sheet without following the Looking
Glass in personal and society matters.
Saturday evening Butler published an ar
tice alleging discrepancies between the
number of persons registered in Richmond
county and the amount collected for poll
tax, leaving the matter in such shape as
to reflect on the management of the tax
collectors office.
This morning Tax Collector Boiler and
a friend called at the Lancet office, but
Butler was not in. The rest of the story
is told by Butler in a card furnished for
publication, as follows: shortly utter
noon to-day Mr.. George Heckle, mar.
shall of Summerville; Mr. Charles Bob
Ter, Mr. Frank Boiler. Mr.. Gus Boiler.
Mr.. Foster Sherlock and eight or nine
other men, assembled at the Lancet Of
flee and inquired for me. 1 had been
Informed that they We're after me, and al
l was not armed, l eyaded them and
went to my room. After they left the
office they came over here in front of
my home and stood for a while in the
street Later ] telephoned Mr.. Charles
Boiler and asked him what was desired
of me. lie asked me to come to the
court house, but ! declined TO do so. ] am
to have a conference of my friends at
my room this afternoon. and I will then
decide what course ! am to pursue
am inclined 10 believe that l will swear
out peace warrants against the men nam
ed. ! infer that they contemplate maxi
ing at attack on me-"
This afternoon Butler did have the
men mentioned above arrested but all
Of them were dismissed except Tax Col
lector Boiler. who said he should demand
satisfaction. and was placed under bond
to keep the peace.
Mr.. BOILER says the story about the
crowd being after Butler this morning Is
purely imaginary. and that he called to
demand a proper correction of the publi-
cation that would explain the reasons for
the discrepancies alleged and free him
from any imputation OF unjust or inn
proper dealings in his Office Buffers ar
ucle charged that Richmond county had
the biggest vote OF any county IN the
state, but the smallest returns from poll

FAMILY ROW At A STATION.
Mr.. and Mrs. G. v. Gress of Atlanta
QuarreIing over Child.

auarre1ing over Child.
Atlanta, Ga, July PA special to the
Constitution from New York tells of a
sensational scene at the Jersey City depot
of the Pennsylvania railroad yesterday
morning in which the family of G.. V.
Gress. of Atlanta, figured prominently.
The incident amounted to a considerable
family row, it seems, and the trouble was
of such a nature as to result in the ar
rest Of Mr.. Gress' son and placing him
under a 500 bond in default of which he
was locked up.
1t seems that the trouble came about on
account of a dispute about the possession
of May, the little daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs Gress The son of the latter in
charge of the child, had boarded a south
bound train, when Mrs Gress excitedly ar
rived at the depot and declared that her
child had been abducted from her by her
husband
The special states that the dispute In the
Gress family created quite a commOtion at
the depot, and further complications are
likely to Rnsue. The family appeared in
a police Cburt in Jersey City yesterday
morning and told their troubles to the
judge, who directed that the child be held
Mrs. Gress accused her husband of as
saulting her and the family trouble was
aired In a sensational manner, according
to the report from New York.
Mr.. Gress has occupied very prominent
position here for many years. He has been
an investor in many big business enter
prises At the Gress penitentiary camp in
South Georgia the product, in which he
chiefly dealt was turned out. He is about
80 years old and a native of New York. He
removed to Georgia in 1870 to enter the en-
ploy of d. r. Wadley, a large lumber man
ufacturer. He soon acquired an interest
in the company and gradually succeeded
to the control. He increased the business
largely and added greatly to the profits.
The Gress Lumber Company is one of the
largest in the south.
Mr. Gress won the gratitude of the peo-
pie of Atlanta by purchasing the menag-
erie of the Hall and Brinley circus and
presenting it to the city. This proved the
nucleus for the geological garden at Grant
park
In December. 1873 Mr.. Gress was mar
ga, Tenn. To them were born Morgan
V. Gress, Jan. Z, 1875. and John Hast
Gress, in September, 1877. Mrs.
Gress died from heart disease
in April 1881, and in May, 1898,
Mr. Gress was married to Miss Ida May
Nelson of indianapolis, Ind In Nov. 1885.
Marie Gress. the child over whom the re-
cent contention has arisen, was born Mrs
Gress and her daughter, Marie, went to
New York last fall TO live. Though the
last marriage has not been a happy one,
there was no talk of trouble here until the
sensational arrest In New York
