INDUSTRIAL SCIENCE
LONG DISTANCE ELECTRIC RAIL
ROAD IN INDIA.

An electric railway $50 miles long
is to be built in the State Of Kashmir,
India. Electricity has been adopted as
the motive power because Of the severe
grades encountered on the line. the
scarcity of fuel and the availability OF
abundant water power. The latter is
furnished by the Chinab river. which
at Ramband half way between the ter.
minal points, Tumu and Schrinagar,
has a fall of twenty to twenty-five
feet to the mile, so that it is estimated
that canal seven and one-half miles
long, giving a head of $50 feet, will
furnish 100000 horse power. The total
cost Of road and equipment will be be-
tween s3,500,000 and S5,O00,000. 1t has
not been determined whether the State
of Kashmir will do the work OF grant
IA concession to outside capitalists
Kashmir is the northerly and most
mountainous part of the Indian empire
with an area of $4,000 square miles. Its
chief town is Scrinagar, which is most
easily reached from the western side oi
the territory Bombay being the port
Of entry. Punjab, which joins Kash.
mir, has great resources in the way OF
water power. The government of India
has lately sanctioned the construction

DR. LAYTON DENIEs.

This mornings edition of the VIII
Sun quotes the Delaware cor
respondent Of the Philadelphia Press
concerning the published statement
credited 20 Dr. Layton, and, among
other things, says.
DR. Layton denies the garbled repe-
tition Of what he did say in the Union
Republican Of Saturday. His denial Is
sufficient disprOof of the lie told about
him. What he did say Is undeniable
truth-If present conditions continue
the electoral vote of Delaware will not
be cast for Mckinley. Even the fools
among the bolter Republicans ought tc
be able to comprehend the truth OF
that. If the division the boilers have
created. and are making every possible
effort % continue is kept up, the clec.
.toral vote of Delaware will be cast for
the Democratic candidate for presi.
dent
Just here is the kernel of the nul
bclicr Republicans have 20 crack-they
must consent 90 have one Republican
ticket from top TO bottom and repre-.
lsenting a majority vote of the Republi.
cans OF the state. or have two Republl
can tickets.
The assertion that Mr. Addickl
would influence the Delaware electora
vote against Mr. Mckinley If he Is
lrenomnated by the Republican party
Is a lie too bold to deceive anyone whs
does not want TO be deceived AIr. Ad

SATURDAYS GAME.

SATURDAYS GAME.
What may prove to be a fatal ac-
cident occurred to William N. Pretty
man, of the Warren football team Sat-
urday afternoon at the Union street
grounds.
The Warren met the team from the
Germantown Cricket Club and Pretty
man was playing right end. Every
thing went smoothly, as far as ac-
cidents were concerned, until about
the middle of the last half when
Prettyman received a fall that rendered
him unconscious for several hours.
This Is how it occurred; Warren was

Smith kicked, Haines, of the German
town team called for free catch, but
did not do so in time, and was run into
by Garrett of Warren.
Haines fumbled the ball, Prettyman
securing It, Prettyman started to-
wards the goal but was tackled by
Graves and thrown with great force
to the ground. His shoulders struck
first and then his head at the base
OF the brain. He was carried to the
dressing room in an unconscious con-
dition and had several commissions in
! succession. DR.. Morgan, physician for
the Warren fotball team was called
but could render him but little as
sistance. He was taken to the home
of B. B. Allen, S07 West street.
His home is in Milford and he was
employed here in the Office of the
Provident Savings Assurance Society
of New York. This is the first time
he has played with Warren and up to
the time of his being injured played an
excellent game. His playing was no.
ticeable to the spectators, as he was
lcheered time after time.

IAN those who have given votes to the
Union Republicans in the past would
support q division that would operate
against the president Rather, for the
Addicksites to persist in opposition to
Mckinley might simply prove to the
rank and nle that the leaders have
gone wild over the rule or ruin policy
introduced into Delaware by Addicks.
On the subject of harmony whisper
ings have been heard that William S.
.Ililles has a plan for amalgamation in
the state convention for the nOmina-
ton of delegates to the national Re
publican convention. Under existing
conditions each faction will probably
hold convention and select delegates,
and those Of the Regular convention
viii probably be seated again, as they
were In ST. Louis I'm 1896. This plan
ascribed to Mr. Hilles includes the
holding of a joint meeting of Addicks-
ties and Regulars, at which each side
shall select three of the six conven-
tion delegates, and the respective
state committees shall be ignored. All
this I'm the interest of harmony. But,
unfortunately, the ultimate outcome OF
lsuch a beginning looks so strongly like
making Addicks one of the senators
from Delaware that the Regular lead
ers are not taking kindly to it.
An interesting story comes from
down the state apropos Of the United
States senatorship. 1t is that Cover
nor Ebe W. Tunnel wants to be United
States senator. The governor, it viii
be recalled, has not followed the lead
of Governor Stone, of Pennsylvania
and appointed a man for the existing
vacancy, but has announced that h'
would make no appointment unless
Stones appointment should be accept
ed by the Senate. According to thl
story the method to secure the senator
ship for Governor Tunnell in cast
lQuay IS seated, would be for the Cover
lnor to resign his place as chief execu
Tive, and then for his successor as gov
lernor. the present secretary Of state
James II. Hughes. to appoint him Il
the senatorial vacancy. In case tn
lQuay appointment does not go through
n then Governor Tunnell who goes ou
, of office in January, 1901 might stan
