Preparations to Run Electric Car
at a Speed Of 100 Miles
Per Hour.
Test to be Made on New Chicago.
Aurora Line Of General Elec.
trio Company.
Three Rail Track to be Used
Essential Point is the Car
Gearing.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-With cars geared
TO run 100 miles an hour, worlds rec
ords for railways and street railways
will probably be broken by the General
Electric Company and the Aurora FL
gin and Chicago Electric at a test run
some time this fan. This speed trial
will be held on a sixteen-mie stretch
from Wheaton northwest to Elgin.
Six new cars which have just been
received for the opening of our road are
built to run eighty-iive miles an hour,
but for the speed tests the General
Electric will supply US with gearing
which will make the cars run $50 miles
per hour" said Ernest GonZenbach,
electrical engineer for the Aurora, Ell
gin & Chicago Railway Company,
while seated in one of the new cars
yesterday afternoon.
We will have these tests as soon as
our track between Wheaton and Elgin
is equipped. AT present we have q
three-rail double track completed from
the end of the Garfield Park Metropolis
tan line at Fifty-second avenue to
Wheaton, and Il single three-rail track
fourteen miles southwest to Aurora,
with a seven-mile switch to Batavia
where the central power plant is locat-
ed.
I'VE are going to do what Germany
failed to do. But the Germans failed,
altho they made 100 miles an hour. The
reason was that their rails We're too
light. Ours are heavy, heavier than
ordinary steel rails-eighty pounds to
the yard
The essentially new thing about the
of the cars to be used in the
test is the high gear. But just as it
takes Il great deal of animal power to
run a highgeared bicycle, so it will
take an enormous supply of electrical
power to run these high geared surface
cars. For this purpose the Aurora
has built Il power house at
Batavia containing four engines of 25,-
600 horse power each. and in addition
along its line has erected five sub-sta-
tons where the power is transformed
and taken to the third rail.

THE BLESSED DRAeoNFLY.
He Comes to the Rescue of Mosquito
Bitten Chicago.

Chicago Aug. ga Moses in the form
o. a mosquito hawk has appeared to rid
Isthe residents of the Lake Shore drive OF
their plague of insects. Another name
OF the mosquito hawk is the dragont1y,
but the creatures are doing a saint S
work in the annihilation of the pest.
Saturday night just before dusk the
rosquito hawks appeared in a swarm.
The air between the outer row of trees
and the sea wall was alive with them.
AT the same hour yesterday they came
again and wrought havoc in the ranks
uss the mosquitoes. Their work one one
evening was appreciable in it's effects.
Last night it was possible to Sit on the
benches and enjoy a breath of air with
cut the necessity of keeping both hands
At work to fight off the attacks of the
buZZing enemy.
Recently the United States govern
ment thru its biological department is
sued a pamphlet telling the people of
mosquito plagued districts how to Gull
tivate the dragonfly, saying that when
it was plentiful the mosquito had no
chance for its life. The Lake Shore
drive is at present showing proof of the
sagacity of Uncle Sans entomologists.

Once he dropped $3.50 on three queens
Another time he had a nine full and lost
$500. In addition to playing high and
raising often he would stay on anything
before the draw and then try to bluff

Who won the money can not be

Chicago, Aug. 5.-Claims and hopes
of the democratic congressional com-
mittee in the coming election are out
lined by William e. Curtis, of New
York, in the Record Herald, as fol-
lows:
The democratic congressional COM
mittee claims to have heard from ac-
curate and impartial sources in every
nearly all the doubtful congressional
/ districts, as to the state of public sem
timent and the party organization, and,
while the results are not as encourage

justities an active and determined can
vass. with a hope of reducing the pres
ent republican majority of thirty-nine
and plurality of forty-four in the
| house of represent tives. For Il bluff
the members of the committee will con-
tinue to assert their right To expect the
control of the next house, but conserva-
tive politicians do hot even hope for so
much. They are confident, however, of
making decided gains in the northern
states. of recovering several districts
that We're lost by divisions on the silver
issue and getting a good ready for the
presidential campaign that Will follow
in 1904. l have seen one of the members
of the committee, who is perhaps as
clear-headed as any, and he gives ME
some of the reasons why. as he ex-
presses it, democratic stock is going
up
The membership of the next house,
under the new apportionment census
of 1900. is increased from 35l to $50,
thirty nine members, of which the
northern and western republican states
get nineteen and the southern and
democratic states get ten. This is a dis
couraging handicap to begin with, and
of itself should deprive the democrats
of all hope of capturing the next house,
but several of he new members will
come from the populous cities of the
north where the democrats are strong
among the foreign born voters and the
laboring element, and there they hope
to offset the gain in the farming states,
the villages and the richer and more in
telligent communities. A change of
twenty three districts is necessary to
give the democrats a majority, which is
admitted to be impossible, but they
claim to be certain of twelve and are
hopeful of twenty. The expected gains
are in fine following 81 ateS.

SMALLPOX CAUSES RIOT.
Indiana Town in Control of Mob for
Several Hours.

| knightstoWn, Ind. Aug. 5.-The VIII
II age of Charlottesville, five miles west
of here. was in the hands of a mob for
several hours last night, and the sher-
| lift of Hancock county with seventy
five deputies is on the scene. The trou-
BILE arose from an attempt to prevent
Il, erunning of its cars by the Indian
apolis & Eastern Traction Company.
Recently a quarantine was estab-
lished by Hancock county against this
city on account of smallpox there. The
traction company stopped running its
cars yesterday. When an effort was
made to resume the people of Char
lottesville stopped the second car, ar
rested the motorman and conductor,
and side tracked the car.
Later other cars We're run thru the
town, and late last night car was as
sailed by fusilade of shots from the
guards and villagers, and c. NJ. Kirk
patrick, director, and several other
passengers We're hurt. Tratfice was re-
sumed this morning. but this afternoon
q car was stopped loaded with passen-
gers and later the sheriff of Hancock
county. with armed deputies, was ord
cred to the scene to enforce the quar-
antine. The first car arrived, the sher-
iff and deputies arrested the motorman
and conductor.
The company learned last night that
the mob had purchased dynamite and
would blow up one of the bridges and
part of the track before morning. A
score of the company's men have been
armed and ordered to patrol the track.
Bloodshed is feared before morning. 1t
is; expected that the quarantine will be
lifted tomorrow, but the company is de-
termined to run its cars and the mob
and sheriff are just as determined they
shall not.
