LIGHT RAILS FOR HARD TRAFFIC
Germany Sets at Naught an Axiom of
Railroad Engineering Here.

German railroad engineers have
surprised the whole engineering world
by disregarding in the new electric
railway in Berlin what has been look
ed upon as an axiom of good rail
reading. Contrary to modern custom
they have equipped a high-speed cleo
tr.c railway with light rails, and ties
which in some places are FIVE feet
apart.
The road is now complete and in
operation, and British and American
engineers are watching it with the
greatest interest to see how long it
will last, confident in their own minds
that very soon there must be a col
lapse
If the railroad is running in good
order at the end of several years it
may lead to the reversal of some pres
ent ideas in railroad construction.
American engineers have held that
heavy rails are a necessity at any
cost, particularly on roads operated
by electric power, and British engi-
neers have supported this view, both
in argument and in practice.
1T might be possible to operate
such a road, with very light rolling
stock moving at low speed" says the
Engineering News, but this road is
to carry electric motor cars weigh
ing twenty tons and three-car trains
are to run at speeds Of thirty miles
an hour at intervals of two and one
half to five minutes. If this track
maintains its line and surface under
electric motor-car traffic, there must
be something in German conditions
very different from those which OBJ
tain in the United States"

WILL NOT SHUT DOWN.
The Silk Mills Here Will Probably
Continue All Summer.

II was rumored throughout the city
yesterday that the silk mills at Silnp-
son would shut down indefinitely this
evening. A scarcity of silk, due to the
trouble among the dyers at Paterson,
was given as the reason for the con-
tcmpiated shut down.
1t will be relief to learn, however,
that this depressing rumor is unfound-
cd. General Manager Frieder informed
The Tribune last evening that there
was no truth in the story. Not only
will the mills not shut down tonight,
but they will continue, it is expected,
throughout the summer months, If even
they shut down at all. There is hope
that the trouble in Paterson will be
settled, but even if it should not, the
mills here will be able to procure
enough silk from the mills where there
is no disturbance. for several weeks at
least. 1t is certain. at any rate. that
there will be no immediate shutting
down, Mr.. Frieder says.
This will be cheerful news as the sew
oral thousands of dollars that the mills
here disburse each month is an import
ant item in this community at all
times, but particularly during the de-
preston consequent with the coal
strike. The withdrawal of this sum
would be sorefy felt. and there will
accordingly be rejoicing over the dis
spating of the disturbing rumor.

THE FOREST CITY RUNAWAY.
Mr.. Hollister About and Mr.. Man

Clare Il. Hollister and Vincent c.
Manners, who had such thrilling eX-
perience in the runaway at Forest city
on Monday night, have almost recoV-
cred from the severe shaking up they
received. Mr. Hoilister was fully re-
covered yesterday and was able to at
tend to his business affairs He suf-
fered principally from shock. Mr..
Manners, however, was les fortunate,
and was confined to his room with a
sore shoulder.
The horses Jared better than was at
first reported. One of the animals es-
capped unhurt. while the other had a
badly torn hoof. Unfortunately, the
injured horse is Mr.. HOLSTERS trotter,
Slasher Boy. The horse, which is un-
der Veterinarian Meyers care, will be
in good condition in about month.
The runaway was caused by hind
foot of Slasher Boys getting caught in
the forward wheel of the carriage,
while the team was flying along 10
avoid the storm that was setting in.
The spokes of the wheel were smashed
by the trotter's struggle and the mis-
hap frightened the horses, and there
was a runaway team flying along the
roadway. In another instant, the oc-
cupants of the carriage were thrown
out. The team continued in it's wild
career for about two miles, being
caught in the woods about Forest City.
