 The city is top dressing Middletown avenue from Lewis Bridge to the town line. This roadway is known as the Dyke and is a favorite spot for bicy- clists. It has been in poor condition for sometime and as this section of the city is being improved by the putting through of a new streeE and building thereon. The improvement is appreci- ated by those having to travel that way.
 J. H. King. who owns fine residence on Clifton street in the Annex, is in1- proving the road in front of said resi- dence, which will not only be beneficial to him but to all who may chance to drive that way. Already 125 loads of stone has been removed and it is esti- mated that the job will cost in the neighborhood of $1,0o. It is said that the public works department allowed $30G towards this improvement. M The macadamizing of Blatchley ave- nue is rapidly nearing completion, work now being done on the block between Grand avenue ad Woolsey street This job when completed will be one of the finest of the kind in this section as the removing of the crosswalks is an inn provement in itsels and the public in general are pleased with the thorough | ness of the work. ~

NEW ELECTRIC SWITCH.

Fair Haven and Westville Road to
 Test One This Morning. s.iS A. 10 o'clock this morning at the Granniss corners will be tested the first of the Baldwin < Rowland electric switches to be put in place in the tracks O. the Fair Haven and Westville road. This switch is a marvel of simplicity, and if proven successful at the test this morning will perhaps be adopted for use. on the entire system of the local trolley company.
 While there is need for the changing of a small portion of track near each; switch it is not necessary that the switch points themselves be changed. The electric switch is operated by means oe the mechanism which is con-. tained in strong iron box situated be- tween the rails and supported on the. ties by heavy Jugs. The power employ ed to move the tongue of the switch in a. powerful electric-fnagnet located in the return current of the motor that pro- Dels the car A certain section of the track is insulated, and when the switch; is turned the direction desired by the moterrnan all that is necessary when the section of the track Is reached is for the car to be coasted onto 1t and through the switch or in other words, the nlotorman does not apply anySpow- er Is the switch is turned in such a way that the car will go other than is desired the motorman turns the con- troller about two notches and this causes the switch tongue to reverse.
 This new switch opens by magnetism and sets by gravity. No electrical circuit change Is required and there are no cams. levers or cranks used in it's con- struction, One of the great advantages claimed for this new switch is that there will never be any splitting of the switch and in consequence no possible chance for derailment of the cars. The | road cannot become blocked by this switch. for should 1t fall to work elec- trically the tongue can always be moved by hand or with switch iron. ., l. l When the car is on the insulated sec tion and the current is applied, the ar mature Of the magnets is raised by | hiaShCliS loiSSs dlINllso ttiS "SuSS VI 'h

 The track through which the return

 CHARGES AGAINST WOODRUFF.
 Judge Bishop stated yesterday that about October Attorney Spinelo would be heard as to his charges against Pros- ecutor Woodruff, of the common pleas court. MT. Spinelo's claim is that MT. Woodruff has been retained to defend city court cases which he might have been compelled to prosecute had they been appealed. MT. Spinelo has stated that there are six such cases. BoRSKY WAS DISCHARGED. Jacob Borsky, of IT Lafayette street, was discharged by Judge Tyner yester- day on charge of breach of the peace against his wife. Mrs. Borsky was about the size of her better half, and this fact, combined with the fact that most of the evidence was in favor of Jacob, united in inducing his honor to be- lenient.

Facilities for Leaving Seats to be En-

 It is probable that the near future will see some much needed improve ments at Yale field in the matter of ex- tra exit room.
