George v. Trott, of Chicago, former tel,
egraph operator has devised system which
will soon be put in operation on the Penn
sylvania Railroad, and by which every train
on the line, it is said, will be put in constant
communication with the station next ahead,
or when desired, with the train dispatcher
or any public telegraph station.
A train equipped with the Trott system
would at all times be on loop" circuit,
extending to the next telegraph station
ahead. To send messages or receive them
from other stations the operator at the
proper station would only have to "cut in"
by means a jack spring Oh one of the regular
telegraph wires.
MIR. Trotts device involves no new or
untried principles. 1t is an adaptation of
the street railway trolley or third rail of the
elevated railways two insulated metallic
rails are laid between and parallel with the
usual rails They are not connected. At
intervals equal in length to the circuit it is
desired to establish trolley mechanism,
which, consisting of three pairs of wheels,
connected In multiple by "knuckle" joints
and hinged to the footboard of the locomo-
tive, runs under the tender on the inner
rails. The contact of the metallic wheels
with the metallic rails closes the circuit as
the wheels are joined by metallic frame
work. Insulated wires conduct the circuit
into the locomotive cab and py means OF the
bell cord into any part of the train desired.

ninth inning, principally on errors made by
the visitors. The game was witnessed by
about one hundred spectators, many being
small boys who had worked their way in
without paying or scaled the fence.
The visitors played poor aud uninterest'
Ing game. The team is composed of some
of the best amateurs in Baltimore city, few
of whom largely rely upon base ball as q
means Of maintenance. The home team put
up strong uphill game and finally won
after hard fight. Eisenhaucr made two
home runs, the last time driving in several
men before him. During the game the vls
itors were called upon to pay five dollars fol
the rent of the ground and as only eight
dollars had been taken in at the gate Wig
orous protest was made on their part. As
the Baltimore club had arranged the game
the players were responsible for the grount
rent, which they fiDa!ly paid and the game
was continued. The remaining three dol
