ELECTRIC LIGHT on RAILWAY TEAMS.
HOW THE SANTA FE SYSTEM DIFFERS FROM
OTHERS THAT HAVE BEEN TRIED

HOW THE SANTA FEE SYSTEM DIFFERS FROM
OTHERS THAT HAVE BEEN TRIED
The announcement made few days ago that
four through trains on the Santa Re line from
Chicago to Los Angeles would be lighted by cleo
tricity brings up the question OF the best mode
OF furnishing this kind OF illumination At least
three general plans have been pursued
In Europe where some Of the railways are
short. II has been found 10 he practicable TO
light a train with storage batteries alone Al
the terminal stations the exhausted cells are
taken out and fully charged ones are put IN.
rnasmuch as the operation OF recharging cell
Is a slow one-neary as slow as the discharge
II is not feasible TO obtain fresh supply OF
electricity as quickly as OF water or coal for the
engine Moreover the cells arc heavy ana
delicate. they must be handled with care. No
baggage-smashers permitted TO handle them
But storage-battery lighting while suited TO
short lines. would never do for roads such as are
found in America To supply train running
two thousand miles as the Chicago and Los An
geles expresses do. II would be necessary 10 take
along several carloads Of batteries.
The favorite American system. therefore has
been 10 manufacture the electricity for a train
in the baggage car. and only as fast as needed.
or gearing from the car axle. Then, when the
train IL in motion. the dynamo Will run. and
plenty Of current will be obtained II has been
considered preferable on some roads 10 run the
dynamo by steam power small engine being
set up beside the generator and the steam com
ing from the locomotive through special pipe
The drawback to these two plans lie. or was.
that when. the train was stationary and when no
engine had been attached to the cars-as when
sleeper was waiting on siding or branch road
for the hour OF departure-no current wouid ne
produced. and consequently no light. Inen
again. II has happened that a car would oe cut
OF at some junction to finish Its run on oranch
When for this or any other reason separation
from the baggage-car occurred the light would
go out
Now the Santa Re people have adopted TWO
little improvements that obviate these dmcu'-
ties. In the nrst place. they provide eacn car IN

Another accidental shooting took

and Tom Biggs was seriously injured

Phillips was toying with revolver
when it was discharged with the
above results. Biggs wounds are
quite serious but the latest reports
are that he will recover. The acct

Phillips,

have no further opposition TO issue

not help noticing the difference be-
tween the Morgantown Court House
and the place we hold court, while
in Morgantdwn on the morning OF a.
recent cold court day.
The delay in commencing the work
on the building of the dams on the
Upper Monongahela river is getting
to be annoying We do not know
who is TO blame. Each dam has been
located except the one just below
town, the contract has been let, the
contractor is anxious to begin work,
and the Government has not pur-
chased the real estate to be occupied
by the dams, and the contractor has
no place upon which to unload his
machinery. We believe this delay
is caused by carelessness in some
quarter. Somebody is neglecting his
business. Who is it?

Robinson Released,

William Robinson who was re-
Gently arrested charged with selling
whisky without license has been
released on bond given by his broth
er Samuel Robinson. The prisoner
was bound over to meet the action
Ct the grand jury and in addition he
may have to answer to the United
States authorities as he did not have
government license. However the
arrest is said not to be warranted as
he was merely acting as the agent
of some fellows here who asked him
to get them the liquor when he went
home and did not give him the mon
ey. He got the required amount and
they gave him the money for it, Civ
ing him the same amount as it cost
him and there is nothing to show
that he tried to make anything out
Of the transaction or that he was an
intentional law breaker Technical
~ he is guilty but morally he is in
nocent. The outcome of the trial
will be awaited with interest.

K. Hess has had his arm put I'M
der the X-rays in order that the in
juries might be seen in their fullest
extent. 1t was found that he was
not as badly hurt as was at first sus-
pected. The arm was expected to
be mashed terribly as it was caught
between the cross head and the lag
ging on the pump but it was found
that he was but little hurt in that
direction. The broken bone is not
so badly injured. Only one of the
bones in the fore arm is hurt. The
other escaped injury. The machine
was one of those in use at the Uni
versity.

Of the most dangerous counterfeits
ever discovered has made its appear
ance. Mr. John Cramer, Of the sub
treasury at Philadelphia, to-day bro't
to the service five one hundred dol
lar counterfeit silver certificates, head
OF President Monroe. Their general
appearance is excellent, and after
close examination the officials of the
treasury cash room were undecided
as to their genuineness, and only after
the notes had been soaked in hot
water, when the two pieces forming
the front and back OF the note came
apart, were they convinced OF the
fraud.

THROWN OUT.
The Town of M0rgantown VS.. B0ughner
Dismissed at the Cost OF the
Plaintiff

Judge Mason has thrown the case
of town Of Morgantown VS.. Bough-
ner out of court and put the costs of
the suit on the plaintiff He held
that the evidence did not show that
the present condition of affairs war
ranted the claims set up by the
town. The matter in controversy
was the opening OF Main street
north and the condemnation of the
property of the Boughners which
was required to widen the street.
The case has been before the court
since last winter and when it was
first submitted aroused considerable
feeling.
When the case was called great
deal of difficulty was encountered in
finding anybody to appear for the
town. Every lawyer who was con
nected with the town as corporation
counsel declared that he had no
right in the case. The costs are
large running over the hundred dol
lar mark. All this must come off
the town and its object has been de-
feated.
1t may be proper to state here that
the result was brought about by the
able and adroit management of Hon.
Geo. c. Sturgiss who was Miss
BoIohner's counsel.
