TESTING new BRAKE.
An Electrical Device That May Be
Adopted by the Scranton Rail-
way Company.

For the past several days the man
agement of the Scranton Railway COM
pany have been experimenting with a
new brake known as a Magnetic
Brake" This brake is placed on car
which Is operated on the Petersburg
line, as this is considered one of the
severest lines on brakes that is oper-
ated by the Street Railway company.
The new brake appears to be better
adapted for controlling cars than any,
thing ever used for this purpose in the
city. The brake is so constructed that
not only does it retard the wheels un-
der the car but also brakes on the rail.
The track brake and wheel brake is
entirely Independent of the hand brake
which still remains on the car.
The brake is operated by electricity,
and when it is applied with full force
the rail brakes are attracted to the
rail at force of about two thousand
pounds. The power for the application
of the brakes is obtained from the mo-
tors Of the car itself, and not from the
trolley wire, and, therefore, the brakes
work as we'll with the power off of the
line as when it is on. The retarding
power is so distributed between the
rail and the wheels that it makes a
sudden stop possible without skidding
the wheels, and for this reason it is
particularly valuable in doing away
with fiat wheels. A car going at the
rate of fifteen miles per hour can be
stopped in its own length. Ice on the
rail or slippery rail do not affect the
application of the brake.
The shoes will seize and cling to the
rail regardless of it's condition, and as
the track shoes are between the wheels
of the motor truck they will clear the
rail effectively for the hind wheels and
enable the whole braking system to be
effective. The surplus power used in
connection with this brake is sufficient
to furnish heat for the car. These
brakes are used extensively in Pitts
burg, where there are only two cars
in the entire city that are not equipped
with magnetic brakes. They are re-
ported to give very good satisfaction in
the Smoky city,"
A Tribune man in discussing the mat
ter with Mr.. Sillman learned from that
gentleman that If the brake worked as
in Scranton as it has been
report ID to have done in other cities,
large numbers of the Scranton Rail-
way company's cars will be equipped
with this brake. Mr.. Silliman also stat
ed that he expected to have a number
of new cars in service next spring

Went to Philadelphia.

His fame soon reached Philadelphia,
and at "a years of age he became pas
tor of one of the Oldest Presbyterian
churches in Philadelphia, where he ac-
complished results that mystified those
who watched him: for five years Dr..
Peters preached to the largest Pro-
testant audiences in Philadelphia.
Thirteen years ago when Dr. Peters
was but 30 years of age, he was called
to the Bloomingdale church, on Broad
way and sixty-eighth street New
York.
Inherited wealth enabled a small
congregation to build one of the hand
soonest church edifices in that city of
magnificent churches, costing nearly
half million dollars. Beginning with
less than 100 the Bloomingdale church
became one of the most influential in
the metropolis. DR.. Peters congrega-
ton represent eleven different denomi-
nations.
On Feb. /, 1900, DR.. Peters stirred the
religious world by resigning his posi-
ton of power and influence and laying

down one of the most successful pas
torates any man ever enjoyed, because
he had come to the conclusion that the
Bible taught baptism for believers
only and that he would practice infant
baptism no longer Dr. Peters thus
stepped from the heights to begin life
over again as a Baptist minister. He
did not walt for something to turn up,
but went over to Brooklyn, took hold

doned and which on account of it's

Took on New Life.
Baptists generally had feared that
the Summer Avenue church would
have to go under the hammer. with
DR.. Peters coming to the church new
life entered 1t. The crowds began to
gather, and in eighteen months a $37,-
900 debt vas paid, while thousands
more were raised for improvements.
The membership increased from 100 to
d25, while the congregation was double
the membership. DR.. Peters did not
expect to become the settled pastor in
this church, as he preferred to have Il
church more centrally located for the
purpose of reaching the masses. After
a supply Of six months, however. he
felt 1t wise for the sake of the church
to become installed as pastor.
Numerous overtures were made to
DR.. Peters to leave the Brooklyn
church. which is in purely .resden-
tial section of Brooklyn, but nothing
could induce him to leave this church
until the call came to Baltimore. DR..
Peters felt that because of the stra-
tegic location of the Tabernacle he
could reach the great crowds which
he was accustomed to gather in New
York. In this DR.. Peters has not been
disappointed. The spacious Taber-
nacle at st. Paul street and North
avenue, is already crowded to over
flowing at both services, and plans are
now considered for the building of q
new structure which will hold the
thousands who are thronging to hear

the Legislature have now been ac-
counted for save three. The state
ments as made up show that forty

ate nineteen of the old members held
over their terms running to the next
election. Two of these, however, will
not be in the next Senate, as one re-
signed and his successor has been
elected TO a state office, whose term
will have to be filled out by a man yet
to be chosen. OF the old members of
the Senate who stood for reelection
three were defea ted and nine were re-
elected. So there will DE twenty-six old
members in this years Senate and fif-
teen new senators.

the following message to the Demo-

1T is with a sense of profound graft
tude, mingled with an equal sense of
the solemn responsibility involved, that

our state. With appreciation far too
deep for speech, and with thanks that
come from my heart, l pledge you

MILITARY LAWS OF STATE.
Committee on Revision to Meet In
Atlanta To-day.

Atlanta To-day.
Atlanta, Sept. 15.-On Thursday the
new committee named by Gov. Can
dler to revise the military laws Of the
state will hold it's first meeting at the
Capitol for the purpose of preparing a
bill to amend and consolidate all laws
pertaining to the state militia. A COM
mittee did similar piece of work last
year. but for several reasons they fall
ed of passage by the Legislature. The
new committee is composed of Col.
Usher Thomason of the Third Infantry,
Mai. w. l.. Grayson of the First In
fantry, and Maj. w. w. Barker of the
Fifth Infantry. The committee was
appointed on the recommendation of
the military advisory board. Col.
Usher Thomson of Madison is in At
ianta to-day arranging for a meeting
of the committee. He says that a
copy of the bill of last year has been
mailed to every officer of the Georgia
State Troops with a request that they
make suggestions as to what changes
should be made. Numerous replies
have been received. and it Is thought
that all of the officers will be heard
from by the time the committee holds
its first meeting. The main objections
to the bill last year was the consolida-
ton of the office of Adjutant General,
and making the assistant adjutant gen.
eral keeper of public buildings. The
bill passed the Senate, but was killed
IN the House after several attempts
were made to pass it.
