'WULTIPLE UNIT MOTORS.

An important principle in the electric opera
ton of railways will soon be practically applied
for the first time in Baltimore. The theatre OF
action is the tunnel where. eight or ten years
ago. another bit of famous pioneer work was
done. Two general methods of using electricity
for the movement of trains have been adopted.
The earlier the one employed by the Balti-
moro and Ohio road for transfer service, is TO
mass the motive power III a single machine, like
q steam locomotive. and to attach this TO the
string of freight or passenger cars which Is
TO be hauled. The other, already i'll use on
several elevated roads in this country and soon
to be introduced into the subway of the me-
tropolis. is to distribute the power along the
train Every car, or nearly every car, has mo-
tive machinery on its own trucks: but all parts
of this apparatus are so connected. electrically
or otherwise that they can be operated from
one point by the mOtorman train of eight
cars. equipped in accordance with the multiple
upit', system can be handled by him as easily
as a solitary trolley car.
The great beauty of the second plan is that
tho amount of power available is nicely pro-
nortioned to the work to he done In the other
arrangement il is pra ctcally invariable. whether
the demand he great or small. What is now 70
be done at Baltimore is 10 combine the two
systems so that the advantages of both may be
enjoyed. Irasmuch the railroad company
has no present intention, so far as the public
knows. of doing more than haul steam trains
over a short piece of underground road, it does
not want TO put motors under the cars them
selves 1t still prefers to concentrate the ma
chnery at one point-at the head of the train.
To secure greater adaptablity 10 the size of its
trains. though, it will split up its new engines
into independent sections. These can be used
singIv or in combination, and so designed
that Il third fourth unit of the same char
acter can be coupled to those already in use.
incidentally il is Of interest TO learn that the
new engines. composed of two such members
as are here described, will be heavier than any
other electric motors steam locomotives ever
built; but the chief significance of the venture
is that the world is ROW 10 see an entirely new
type of engine.
Though the Baltimore and Ohio company is
the first 10 demonstrate the efficiency of the
system, and will do only in its tunnel at
Baltimore, there are signs that very much
larger application of IL Is alreadY contemplated

THE ONE CENT ERA.

few seers of visions and dreamers OF
dreams predict that long before the twenty-frst
century is ushered in one cent fares only VIII
be paid on all the local transportation lines
including the ferries. These iridescent Opt
mists expect that passenger in any car
within the metropolitan territory, whether the
car runs on elevated structures, on the surface
or underground, will be required TO pay more
than a cent, and that every tunnel company
under the water and every ferry corporation
will be equally generous to its patrons.
In that time of peace and ease and comfort
there will be no Overcrowding, no strap
hangers or ''standees." Moreover, there VIII
be one cent letter postage, cheap cabs in Man
haitian penny Shines and no pushcarts,
tramps or beggars III the streets. Automobiles
will be noseless and harmless. and every police
man will be model of decorum and of dignity.
There will be no dangers at street crossings,
and the charges for telephone and telegraph
messages will be a penny apiece. Every motor
man and every conductor will be Beau Brum-
mel Even anthracite coal Will be cheap.
And Just about that time the sky will fall
and NEWCOMERS will feast on lark pies already
cooked in the clouds.

ever exaggeration there has been IN regard 10
the number of cases of that disease In dogs, tne
commences of it and it's dreadful character are
hevond question Panic has undoubtedly been
created by dogs which were not suffering from
m bies: and reputable physicians have taken the
ground that more harm was done by raise
alarms than by real hydrophobia. The Tribune
is not prepared to admit this. Granting the
truth of the proposition for moment, though'
1t will still remain true that panics are maze
possible only by popular knowledge OF lie"
real cases. Suppress rabies thoroughly ana you
will minimize or suppress panics concerning Ii.
Dogs have been charged by the medical press
with communicating other diseases also to nu-
man subjects Such accusations add to the
gravity of the Indictment; but ample reason for
nutting substantial checks upon them can De
found in the peril from hydrophoba. Moreover
the responsibility of the authorities OF this CITY
is not exclusively local Something is Que 10
the rest of the country. There is little chance'
perhaps of dogs elsewhere acquiring RABIES o.
rectIy from those in the metropolis. NOW that
New-York has a decent government, however
her exampe cannot fail to exert an influence
unon less progressive municipalities
When once the duty of removing from the
streets all dogs that are not muzzled or held
in leash is committed to the police much VIII
have been gained. General Greene may not
have coveted this increase in his activities: liz
is safe to say though that If the Board of Al
dermen and Mayor sanction the measure ne
will enforce 1t with vigor There will undoubt-
edly be q prompt disappearance from the streets
of uncared for and improperly cared for dogs

RESTRAIN THE DOGS.

The ordinance concerning dogs which has
been made a special order by the Board of Al
dermen for Tuesday should pass by n unani-
nous vote. Perhaps it might first be amended
advantageously to render its provisions more
stringent Many people believe that all dogs in
city streets should wear muZzles whether they
are held in leash not. 1t is a nice question
whether the owner or custodian can always con-
troll an animal with leash alone if the creature
happens 10 be rabid The not unreasonable sug-
gestion has also been made that even when dogs
are led by cord strap they should be kept
in the middle OF the streets Still. the ordinance
will do much good in the form in which 1t was
reported. Without any change whatever it
should insure distinct improvement upon the
present situation Besides, in view of the gen
eral laxity of practice and sentiment in this city
of late years. ii may be wise TO refrain from
taking too radical a step just now.
The first great consideration is the need of
better QIQtecti2a against jbydEoQh2biaa What.

Corn was a shade higher. and oats A@ssc

market by this same operator. Sales
amounting to five million bushels were
credited to the leader of the bull campaign.
The news was again bearish, with cables
lower and a big increase In the estimate of
the European crop. Primary receipts were
also a bear factor, being estimated at 10000
bu, compared with $4,000 a year ago. The
opening was weak, with May off 1s@Ac to
%G1kc at 7SAc to 7S7sc, and after selling at
7Sssc, there was a rally to 7S7sc, but the
heavy liquidation caused steady decline

fair export business brought out a
moderate demand late in the day and a
firmer feeling developed. May closing 7s1sc.

Corn was active and a large volume of
buying was transacted, there being heavy
liquidatio by commission houses supposed
to be acting for the recent leader in the
wheat campaign. The buying was scat

January option, occasioned by an active
demand from shorts. and as result, there
was an advance of three cents in that
commodity, the top price being reached at

failed to hold. however, and the greater
part of the gain was lost. the close being

and closed a shade higher at 441aQ44ssc,
after selling between 44c and 44asl4i$4c. Re-
ceipts were 800 cars. three of contract

Oats were dull and steady the greater
part of the session, but covering by shorts
and buying by commission houses caused a
strong feeling late in the day, and the
close was higher with May up Ease at

demand and receipts were small at 1i9 cars.
Early prices In provisions were weak, due
to liberal receipts of hogs and a decline of
