200 MILES AN HOUR.
j. H. McGurty Claims His
Motor Will Travel
That Fast.

Mr.. James H. McGurty, inventor of q
new electrical railway system, designed
for the rapid transit of express matter,
mails, etc. gave a successful exhibition
Of his system yesterday afternoon. For
a number of months he has been exper-
inenting with a model motor on a cir
cular trestle one-quarter Of a mile in cir
cumference, erected on the old abandoned
reservoir site. at Central and Manhattan
avenues. 1t was not, however, until re-
Gently that he perfected the workings OF
the motor. On several occasions, when
he thought he had everything in apple
pie order and invited the public and press
to witness an exhibition Of his system,
something went wrong with the motor
and the chagrined i~nventor was obliged,
after hours Of tedious wait on the part
Of the people assembled, to postpone the
exhibition. The obstacles nave been
overcome, and yesterday the delighted
inventor sent the model motor spinning
around the circular trestle like a thing
of life, controlling the start or stoppage
at either of the two stations, with which
the trestle is equipped by operating on
a switchboard near the main station.
The motor is about one-fourth the size
of the intended one. 1t is about four
feet high and about two and a half
feet wide. The model easily travelled at
the rate of eighteen miles an hour. 1t
rests on a truck, with six-inch wheels.
Mr.. McGurty said he did not think it
necessary to make the model travel fas-
ter than that rate In a continuous circle.
He says he can run the motors of his
new system at the rate of two hundred
miles an hour, If necessary. He has
patented an automatic controller to regu-
late speed in rounding curves.
The McGurty system is designed to do
away with motorman and conductor.
Movements Of trains will be operated by
men at the various stations. Mr.. Nc
Curly believes that his system will rev
olutionize the mode of transit for ex-
pressage, mail matter, newspapers etc.
He says a ompany known as the Globe
Electric Express Company, has been al
ready organized and Incorporated with a
view to building and operating a road by
his system. For five years he has been
working a~ssiduously on various patents
to be used in connection with his system,
He is a resident of this city and lives at
No. III Bright street.

ALDERMEN MEET.
Merchants Protest Against
the New Weights
Ordinance.

The Aldermen met last night. No ac-
ton was taken on the new building de-
partment ordinance under which it is pro-
posed to make the bureau self-sustaining.
The new Inspector of Scales, Weights and
Measures ordinance was not taken up. A
communication was received from the
Merchants Protective Association asking
that the members be given a hearing be-
fore definite action is taken. The mer-
chants believe tina the new ordinance
reposes too much power in the inspector.
They also object to the additional penal
ties it will impose upon them. A dele
cation from the association was present,
were heard. Secretary Newton, J. Schel-
lenberger, James E. Banks, Richard
Iahey and Counsellor Joseph Anderson
addressed the Board briefly.
Their objection is based on the single
clause which subjects every merchant to
the payment of a fee whenever the in
spector makes an examination of scales,
tended that no fee should be charged
them for such inspection, but that the
city should "a h inspector an estab-
OF q fee Of any kind. All the merchants
declared that business men are now taxed
upon everything. they use. They called at
fention to the fact, also, that competition
is so great that any further burden inn
posed upon them will practically prohibit
them from continuing in business. They
were listened to attentively but no action
was taken on the ordinance. There will
be a further discussion of the merits of
the document before it is disposed of one
way. or the other. The Board is divided
on. the question of passing the ordinance.
A license to keep a saloon at No. $40
Monmouth street was refused Adolph
Bender. Bender formerly kept a saloon
at Grove and Seventh streets, but his Ii
cense WAS revoked because his place was
disorderly.
Abraham Strahl was refused a transfer
from 416 Central avenue TO No. 80 Grand
street.
City Clerk O'Donnell and his clerks
were paid the customary sums for extra
