The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1902-08-25

An electrical company at Lynne,
Mass, is building a train which is to
soon be used in Illinois, says a special
dispatch from Lynne, and which the
engineers estimate will make 80 to 100
miles an hour. 1t is added that the
track for the train in Illinois is al
most completed; that the line is about
$50 miles long and is remarkable for
solidity and strength. AS far as pos
sible grades have been elevated. Elec-
tricity will be the motive power, and
the third rail system will be used. A
train of three cars has been built for
the first trials. The train will be
equipped with twelve motors of 120-
horse power each. Instead of the high
speed increasing the danger, it is
claimed that the train will be safer
and run less risk of leaving the rails
than an ordinary street car. The the
DRY held by electricians is that the
train is practically electrically welded
to the track and cannot leave it while
the power is on. The location of the
track is not given in the dispatch.

stone had not a good memory. Upon
SUBJECTS such as Homer and Dante,
q adstone was as good as ocncordanco;
hat a verbal memory can be acquired
by any enc with little practice, hence
tie great army of bad reoiters. A verbal
memory is not fine memory. The
finest memory is a memory for idea5,
and the next best is a memory for faces,
and Gladstone Possessed neither of
these. Mr.. Eustace Niles has published
a little volume, 'How to Remember
Without Memory Systems and With
Them. The falacy OF all books upon
memory is based upon the theory that
every one is DESTROYS OF remembering
everything. No doubt many foolish
people think that it is ty that they
do not remember everything. A good
memory il memory which rejects, and
which does not attempt assimilation
beyond its powers. a bad memory
accepts, like a pillar box, all useless
information. and treats everything as

LONG SENT TO WORKHOUSE.
The Imposing oil Sentence Deferred Unit
Monday E,,bruary nd

The Imposing oil Sentence Deferred Until
Monday, February I'd.
After pleading guilty in the United
States District Court Friday after
noon to the charge of abstraating money
from the mails, Henry q. Long was the
subject of comment, a revolver being
taken from him bv lostoliter Inspector
Maxwell as he was being taken by oil
GERS from the Federal Building, having
been committed to sthe county work
house tn await sentence, which was
deferred until February id
Long was arrested year ago by
Postoliice Inspector William j. Max
we'll on the charge of abstl8oting money
from the mail while working as rail-
way mail clerk between Harrington and
Lewes. When arraigned Friday ne
entered a plea of guilty and his at.
torney, John Biggs, made request
that the court be lenient with his
client.
Mr.. Biggs, in asking for mercy, in
formed the court that prior to the
present trouble Long had always horne
a good reputation. DR.. Hiram Il.
Burton, who has known Long ever
since he was horn, said Long Rlways
bore a good reputation; he associated
with the test people of Iewes and
Frankicrd
District Attorney Byrne said the
various amounts IN the indictment
showed a total o. about S406. GO As to
some OF the letters the government is
responsible for the full amount OF the
money abstracted. Mr.. Byrne knew of
the efforts OF the defendant to make
restitution, 81 that the government
would not lose, but those efforts proved
futile. The defendant has made full
and ampie confession, he Eaid. and at
no time has he put the government TO
any unnecessary trouble or expense in
proving its ca&s. He asked that sentence
be imposed.
Owing to The reported existence of
oontagion at the New Jersey State
fenitsntiary at Trenton, where long
term Federal prisoners fIom Delaware
are sent, Judge Bradford deemed it
unwlse to commit Long 10 that insti,
tuition at once For this reason, the
Judge So d, sit is impossible to impose
sentence today To do SO would be very
prejudicial and might endanger the life
OF the defendant. The judge then
committed Long to the custody OF
United States Marshal Short. with in
structions to have him detained at tho
New Castle County Wurkhouse until
Monday, February Sd, at II O'Clock,
a, m.. when he is to be again brought
into court, provided oontagion has by
that time disappaared from tho New
Jersey prison. George Davis, charged
with passing counterfeit money is to
be sentenced at the same time
This decision on the part of the
court is taken to settle definitely a
question which has been discussed con
! siderably since the new workhouse :
! whether Delaware Federal prisoners
would be sent to that institution in
the future. The action of Judge Brad.
ford is construed to mean that the
government has no intention of de-
waiting from its custom in regard &c
Delaware prisoners and they will be
sent to tine New Jersey prison in the
future, as in the past. This also dis
counts the report than an effort will be
made to bring some Delaware prisoners
from the New Jersey prison to the
