One result of the great storm of last
week has been a general assault upon
the overhead wire system, both as APP
piled to electric railways and to tele-
graph lines. A prime cause of the rail-
road accidents was the impotency of the
telegraph lines. The telegraph is indis-
pensable to the operation of the rail-
roads, but after the poles and wires went
down, the cars had still to be run, and
disaster was the frequent result. Yet
the experience of last week was nothing
new 1t was only worse than what
happens under stress of storm, not only
in winter, but also in summer, and the
storm need not be severe. In the case
of the overhead trolley, there is the
added element of danger from the fallen
wires themselves, and in fact, danger
and obstructiveness are the foremost
objections to the system. A heavy
storm would very likely interfere with
the underground trolley as completely
as with the overhead, but there would
be no wires to menace and ensnare the
unwary. The recent long break in
Geographic service has revived the talk
of a marine cable from Boston to New
York, and the pertinent suggestion is
made that better plan would be an
underground cable, a conduit if you will,
for then the interior of the country
would be accommodated AT the same
time come earnest remarks upon the
superiority of the underground trolley
railway systems, such as are in use in
Germany and even in New York. These
improvements, as slow as they may be
in coming, are apparently to be realized
sooner by the railways than by the tel
egraph.

ing in disguise" Thus said conductor
on an incoming train from New York.
And he continued:
There was my friend Dan Buck. He
had to whistle before he could ask man
for his fare. He used to carry a slate.
and when he got mad he would wtite his
cuss words on the slate and hand II 10
the man he was mad at. He saved time
by it. Dan had a run out OF Chicago
of about 200 miles. His train picked up
sleeping cars at some cross line IN Wis
ccnsin when he was coming into Chi
cago. It was Dams place TO take up tick
cts in the sleeper. but there his duty stop
ped 1t was the business Of the sleep
ing car conductor and his partner TO see
that their passengers were put on at the
stations for which they were ticketed.
One day Dan found doctor in the sleep
ed who had a ticket for the third station
ahead Dan told the porter, and had no
occasion TO return to the sleeper until the
station was sighted. To make sure that
the doctor would not miss his place, for
the doctors mission was one OF life or
death, Dan went back TO the coach. His
passenger was not there. he made signs
10 the porter, who explained that he had
put the man of at the last station. The
porter had so understood the conductor
Dan sat down and filed both SIDES OF
the slate with everything he could think
OF that was mean. But when he handed
the slate TO the porter the latter said he
couldn't read slate writing. That made
Dan madden, and he broke the slate over
the darkey's head.
The doctor sued the company, of
course for s, 600; they never sue for less.
The company laid Dan of for eixty days.
He didn't know what the time was. He
Just knew he had a lsy-of. He called on
the superintendent 70 explain more fully,
but he was too slow in getting his mouth
off and that gave the superintendent
chance TO cuss Dan black and blue. Dan
never got in a word. and when the super
intendeut got through IL was time TO close
the shop, and Dan mad 10 make train
which carried him home.
Dan was about forty days getting his
