WINNER OWNS PHOTOGRAPH.

Cne of the queerest lawsuits ever
placed on record is now being tried in
New Haven, Conn. TO recover a pho
tograph of herself, Miss Gertrude Mills
is suing her aun for its possession, the
aunt claiming in her turn that it vas
freely given her, and therefore remains
her property. To this statement Miss
Mills has another word to say:
Il want it distinctly stated that | never
gave her this picture, and she had no
business with it. The suit I have begun
is a replevin suit and damages are placed
at S.. The picture is worth possibly 90
cents.
II have several times asked my aunt
to give me the picture, ana she has as
often refused. Now l propose to see if
the law will not protect my interests and
give me this photograph
Miss Mills is a bright, prepOssessing
young woman of 10 or 20 years Of age.
Her father, James Millsi is proprietor of
a restaurant at liz State street, and her
aunt runs a rival across the
street.
This is one of the oldest suits ever
brought before a Connecticut court. Both
sides nave hired counsel and propose to
fight the case to the bitter end. The trial
will come up some time this week before
Justice A. c. McMathewson.
Back of the suit is a long story of
family disagreements. Several times
there nave been suits for SANDER entered
by the parties to this case, none Of which
has ever come to trial.
Recently when the family dissensions
began again, Miss Mills, though not a
| party to them. acting under parental in
struCtions, demanded of her aunt this
photograph. The aunt refused to part
| with it. claiming, in spite of the girls de-
malls, that it was given to her, and as n
gift she has the right to keep it, and
will do so. Then the suit in replevin fol-
lowed.

The running gear Is composed of four
wheels instead of two, and their appear
ance is striking.
Another striking departure from ordi-
nary practice is embodies in the ar
rangement of the front wheels as driv-
ers, the vehicle being Steered by the
rear wheels. Each cab is fitted with two
two-horse-power electric motors, one of
which is geared to each driving wheel.
The motors are entirely encaSed and
are attached to the axle adjacent to the
wheels.
The electric "cabby' is seated on top
of the battery-boX, from which point
the various controlling levers are easily
accessible to him. Under his seat is
the controller. From this device a ham
die projects upward on the left side of
the drivers seat, SO that by moving this
lever forward from it's normal position
the batteries and motors are variOusly
connected, and several speeds result.
In opening the cab under ordinary
circumstances it is necessary to use
these three controlling levers only, but
to reverse the vehicle a switch is oper-
ated by the heel of the foot, which
arranges the motors so as to operate
in the reverse direction. The automo-
bile cabman needs no hi~tching-pOSt.
Should he leave his seat, he carries
with him the safety-switch hNn-
die. by removing which the connection
between the battery and motor is
broken, and the cab annot be started.
This switch also serves as an emergency
stop when running.
The batteries for each cab are held
in a single tray or box, which is load
ed into or unloaded from the cab by
machinery. Each set of batteries for a
single cab weighs about twelve hun
dred pounds. The cabs are fitted with
electric side-lights outside, and electric
reading-lamps inside. Loaded with u
fresh battery equipment, the electric
cab can travel from twenty-five to thirty
miles.

A TWO-sEATED ROADSTER.

be ten thousand automobiles of Ameri- !
can manufacture in use in the European
cities. And to pay for these fifteen mill
lions of dollars win be sent to Ameri-
ca from the pockets of Continental cap
italists to pay for the construction of
these horseless carriages. The contracts
for this great number of vehicles were
signed recently by Count de JOtemps of
Paris, the president of the American
Motor general agency of Paris. Most
of these contracts We're made with Mas
~sachusetts firms which turn out steam,
gasoline and petroleum motors. A Chi
cagO concern is to manufacture only
electric motorcycles, or horseless car
liages, for the Partisan company.
COunt de JOtemps in an interview is
quoted as saying:
THE American patents on horseless
vehicles are the only ones of practical
value on the market. In Europe We
have nothing that can compare with
the American motor-vehicles, either in
lightness, ea~sy-running qualities, rigid
ity, or stability. We are satisfied that
America will furnish the horseless car
riage in the future, and it is our idea to
control the supply"
Although Continental Europe has taken
a deep interest in autOmobilism, as it
is styled there, for many years in Eng
land horselesS vehicles are still in the
main the amusement of a few men of
wealth. III ciSulS lHdl NIldllCC ~ ally
them. The few electric cabs in use in
London are so conspicuous, with their
bright yellow bodies and their glaring
lamps, besides the sober black hansOmS
that they seem more numerous than
they really are; while a s~elf-propelled
wagon or dray in actual use for ordinary
commercial rpoSeS is SO uncommon
that wayfarers turn to watch it's progress
and gather ~curiously about it when it
halts.
There is an automobile club in Eng
land that makes occasional runs and
congratulates itself annually or the in
crease of the carriages that amuse its
members. But it is very much like the
petty societies that cultivate peculiar
breeds of dogs, and it is little concerned
with the commercial utility of horseless
vehicles.
On the continent, however, and eS-
pecially in Paris, self-propelled vehicles
have become commonplace and encour-
aging results are increasing the use OF
them in ordinary business. Several
companies of metai-Workers, with fac
tories already partly equipped for the
purpose, nave undertaken the manufac-
ture of them for commercial ends ir
earnest, added the necessary machinery
and tools, and gradually trained theil
workmen to readiness and precision ir
their new task.
For the time, the cost of the addi.
tional plant, of the improvement OF
methods, and Of the pursuit Of better
mechanical devices, with the charge:
that patent royalties impose, keep thu
price of hOrseless wagons and dray:
high; but it is lower han it was at first
competition is decreasing it; and some
of the conditions that now maintain II
will necessarily pass with the progress Of
the new industry.

A CLOSED CAB.

fourteen passengers has made a series
of journeys successfully, if none too
economically; while several sorts OF
drays with petroleum motors have
proved in the actual routine of business
their ability to carry heavy loads at as
high a speed as the conditions of traffic
and municipal regulations permit and at
less cost than hat of horses.
Their chief drawback has been the
frequency and the slowness of REPAIRS;
but with allowance for loss from these
breaks in regular service, several mer-
chants that have tried them on a con-
siderable scale side by side with ordi-
nary van agree that they are the more
economical by 10 per cent.
The introduction of the IN
to the United States was first made no
ticeable by a number of the Newport
fashionable colony who made their ap-
pearance on Ocean avenu last summer
in the most approved French fashion Of
horseless carriages. This was quickly
followed by the forming OF horseless
carriage companies in several OF the
larger cities, and now the hOrseless car
riage is almost as familiar a sight as Is
the hanson or ordinary one horse CAB.
In New York there has recently been
established a public electric cab service
which has proved to be not only prac-
teal but economical for it's patrons and
a paying investment for the hackers or
the enterprise. Indeed so successful has
this system been that the famous old
ramshackle stages on Fifth avenue In
that city are to be superseded by auto
mobiles.
Close upon this project and marking
another step in the advance of horse
less vehicles comes the Incorporation OF
a company for the purpose Of placing
horseless trucks in the streets of tho

Autotruck company, with a capital Of
81, 900, 900 has been incorporated. With
this capital it is proposed to place auto
trucks, operated by compressed air, in
the streets of the city.
In an interview, one of the directors
of the new trucking enterprise has said:
we have built autotrucks and used
them at our works in Massachusetts.
We car haul a load of eight tons, twenty
five miles without repleniShing the air.
1t is easier for our trucks to move eight
tons than for three horses to haul six
tons in an ordinary street. Or wet asphalt
horses are almost helpless and with the
substitution of asphalt for paving stones
the horse must go.
From a sanitary standpoint and in
the matter of cleanliness it would make
a great difference in the city if the 1885,
600 or 100, 900 horses in it's streets were
done away with. Our trucks Will take
up less room, and will move much faster
than an ordinary team, and they are I'M
der such perfect control that there is less
danger to life n limb than with horses.
