Marietta Branch Of B. & O
S-W. May Be Run BY
Electricity.

"Our company has from time to time
considered the ACCESSIBILITY of operat-
ing our Marietta branch by electric
ity, remarked Supt. Crimson, of the
B. & o. S. w. last night, "and | should
not be surprised to see it tried before
very long"
This remark of the general superin-
tendent is significant There has been
a strong effort for some time by cor
poration which is aid to be headed by
Mayor Nick isson, of Cleveland, to
Id an electric railway on the West
Virginia side from Parkersburg to
Williamstown, the little town across
the river from Marietta
This company has also agreed to
take the franchise for lighting the
CT of Parkersburg at the very low
rate of $45 for each arc lamp per year.
Such a railroad, 1t can be easily seen
would destroy to great extent the
efficacy of the branch of the B. & o.
). W., which now runs from Parkers-
burg to Marietta, distance of twelve
miles.
If, however, the B. & o. S. w. should
adopt electricity at once as tine motive
power for this twelve miles of road, it
would throttle the other scheme at its
inception and would at the same time
give better service between the two
places at "a reduced cost
The expense of the change would be
very light, for the road bed and tracks
OF ,-e branch are already in splendid
condition, and all that would be nee
essary would be to band the rails and
stretch trolley line. The dam across
the Muskingum river at Marietta
would furnish ample power for pow
er house with which to drive the cars
over the road,
1t is certain that the b. & o. s. w.
has the matter under serious consider
alton and the probability that the
change will be made inside of year is
very great. The change to electricity
would not prevent the company from

Marietta Improvement Asso-
ciation.

The meeting of the Marietta Inn
provement Association opened Tuesday
morning promptly at 10 o'clock, with
a full attendance. After the reading
of the minutes and the financial state
ment, the reports of the various mem
bers of the executive committee were
concisely and promptly given.
Mrs c. II. Turner reported on
Residence Streets" Mrs. Taskar Bos-
worth on Parks" Mrs. Brown and
Curtis Sanitation" Mrs. Lowell on
Street Sweeping" and Miss Cotton
on "Public Grounds. Owing to alb
sence from town, Miss Buell. deferred
her report on cemeteries to a later
date, but spoke briefly on the work to
be done. Remarks and suggestions
were made en- the various topics under
consideration When the subject of
sanitation came up, considerable in
terest was manifested regarding the
best method of dealing with the habit
of splitting in public places.
Mrs. Bosworth referred to a notice
she recently saw posted in a railway
car which notified the public that
Splitting on the floor of this car or
anywhere else is strictly prohibited. :"
This notice she thought, if enforced,
satisfactorily covered the question of
eXpectoration.
The entire meeting was full of inter
est and the audience were delighted
with the closing numbers, which con-
sited of piano solo, "Air de Ballet"
by Moszkowski, rendered by Mrs. Met
calf, and a contralto solo, from the
Persian Garden, "The Worldly Hope
Men Set Their Hearts Upon" by Liza
Lehman, rendered by Miss Anna Belle
Van Week. For encore, Miss Van
Week sang charmingly the little song
'Laddie," by Neidlinger.

September for their construction. After
more mature consideration, however, It
was discovered that by the expenditure
of the money originally voted, or at
most, by a slight increase, larger and
powerful ships could be built.
Some opponents Of the type went so
far as to declare that the boats pro
vided were really inferior to the older
monitors then in service and that If
these vessels we're to form part Of the
feet their fighting value could be al
most doubled by increasing their dis
placement about twelve hundred tonss
giving them one knot greater speed and
substituting foar 10-inch guns, pair
mounted In two turrets disposed fore
and aft, in lieu OF the two 12-inch guns
mounted in a single turret, as original
ly ordered.
Mr.. Lewis Nixon was particularly
anxious that this view should be con-
sidered, and after his Alternative plans
we're submitted to the board of con-
struction It was determined to recall
the contracts and to ask permission Of
congress to substitute plans and bids
for the new type.

what Cabary'a Strange Piece Of meohan-
lem Can DO.
A Kankakee county man is the pos
SCISSOR of one Of the most wonderful
clocks in the country. This clock is
as near a perpetual motion machine as
any piece Of mechanism yet designed.
The owner is not a perpetual crank,
but an exceedingly ingenious jeweler
named Peter M. Ravenskilde Of Cabery,
a hustling town in the southwestern
portion Of Kankakee county. The
clock is the product Of many years Of
study and labor and considerable ex-
pense. II keeps accurate time and will
run for a year without the least atten-
ton from its owner. The clock prop
er Is u with a wheel sixty inches In
circumference. From the outer SURFACE
OF the circumference are suspended 40
cups, each One-half inch In diameter
and a third Of an inch deep. Each Of
forty Of these cups, which are success
sive, contains steel balls three-elghths
OF an inch in diameter. Every minute
and a half as this wheel turns by the
weight Of these balls, one Of them falls
out OF It's cup, rolls down an inclined
plane twenty inches long, when, by its
" weight, It reunites a broken cir
cult Of electricity and is again ele-
waited by a little car travelling along a
sleeper inclined plane to the top OF the
wheel, where it falls into a deep cup
which staucs vertical for a short time.
After the car discharges its cargo It
returns to its original station from its
own weight. From the time one OF
these balls is dropped into another
cup 1t travels thirty-six inches. Thus
the work done by all the balls is equiv
alent to one ball travelling over one
mile a day; 400 miles in one year. and
during the lifetime of a person living
three score years the distance around
the globe. The electricity used is gen
Grated in an ordinary storage battery,
which does not require any attention
for fully a year. Another clock owned
by Mr.. Ravenskilde is of a similar con-
struction, but considerably smaller.
This clock is used to attract attention
in the store. A porcelain globe is
placed back of the clock and at night
green, red and white electric lights
reflect their rays alternately on the
face Of the clock, the colors being
changed each time the ball is discharg-
ed from n of the cups on the time
piece. Mr.. Ravenskilde has had many
offers to exhibit his clocks, but refuses
to do so, and so far he has not had the
mechanism patented.-Boston Jourtal.

"A Stake and Roasted.
The Odessa correspondent of the
London Daily Mail writes: The Via
dikavkas circuit judge had recently a
case before him in which a Mullah,
Akhmet R~amasanoff, was accused Of
torturing a Caucasian woman named
Kouffa Karcheretovoi, with the con-
nivance of her husband. 1t appears she
suffered from fits, which, according to
the views OF the Mullah, were caused
by devils in her. AS the woman would
not name the devils of her own free
will she was tied to a stake over a slow
fire and kept there, in spite Of her
heartrending shrieks (Which came, as
the Mullah averred, not from her, but
from the devils in herr, for over eight
hours. until she fell into a state Of un-
consciousness. When questioned by
the Judge as TO his reason for subject
ing the woman to such inhuman tor
ture, the Mullah said he did It for her
good, and it was the usual practice with
them in such cases. The poor woman
lay on her stomach for nine months
continually before the wounds on her
back healed, and now size is a helpless
cripple. Another woman treated in the
same way forgave her husband, and
thus obtained his release.
