Inventor of New Method of CaP
 Lighting Praised.
 NEW YORK, March 4.-Morris Mos kowitz has at last had the satisfaction of listening to group of ssrailroaders'' and professional men sing the praise of his invention, the successful work ing out of which had cost him untold trials and suffering and almost his life.
 Moskowitz's system of lighting rail- way trains by electricity generated from the axle was given severe test Central. The car was run to Croton and back, and the score or more of ex- perts who witnessed the test congratu- lated the young inventor and pro- nounced his mechanism a perfect sue cess.
 The invention promises to revolution ize car lighting. It reduces the cost to a minimum, and the electric load the car carries is hardly felt on the engine. The dynamo gives the same output whether the car is moving slowly or in record time and will continue to give light for twelve hours after the train has stopped. The power is pro- duced through belt around the car axle, and the current is then automatic ally balanced to insure uniform volt age or pressure. .G In the car used in the test on the Gen. tral there were twenty sixteen power lamps. They gave a clear white and brilliant light.

The breach of promise suit of Annie Mazauka against William WalayIys for $1 900 damages. which was declueo by 8 jury in the district court sone time ago, the jury giving a verdict TOT the plaintiff to recover $500. has taken a peculiar turn.
