IS INVENTOR OF
AUTOMATIC BRAKE
Can on Maehinist Thinks He
Has Device FOR Stopping
Electric Cars In Emes-
aency Cases.

J. w. Fortune, machinist Of this
city, is perfecting an appliance intend
ed for the safety Of the travelling pub
tic on the electric railways. The ap-
pliance will be known as an automatic
emergency brake by which electric
cars may be stopped almost instantly
when running at high rate Of speed.
When interviewed by q News-Demo-
crat reporter about the brake, MI.
Fortune said: II have been thinking
about such device for some time, but
have only had time to work on 1t at
nights. There has been SO many ac-
cidents of late on the electric cars,
most of them on account Of the brakes
rot being strong enough to stop
quickly, and they have caused me to
study more than ever on 1t.
There are some obstacles in the
way yet which must overcome and l
am not going to let 1t out until 1t
works to perfection. I can not tell
exactly when 1t will be completed as
do not have much time to work on
1t. My brake can be applied to both
trucks. The brakes on the cars now
are so that they can only be applied
too one set Of wheels and in this way
the motorman Is working against
great obstacles. The brake that
have in mind can be worked by the
motorman at either end of the car
and at the same time Is applied to
both trucks. This is a great advantage
and in this way the car can be stopped
in the space of only few feet can
fix the brake so that it can be operat-
ed by either hand or foot, just as de-
sired. 1t will also take the place Of
the brakes which are now on the cars
and can be used in this way when 1t
is not desired to stop the car in a
short space of time. The brakes which
are now on the cars can be left there
II wanted, as they will not interfere
with my brake at all, although they
are not needed. / want to try the
brake on the local cars first.

COAL SITUATION
IS DAILY GROWING
AL|TTLE BRIGHTER
Strenuous Efforts are
Still Necessary tokeep
an Adequate Supply.
HOPE FOR BETTER Times COMING.

"The same as Friday" This ex-
presses the situation of the coal diff
f,culty. Strenuous efforts are being
made by local dealers to get coal for
their trade and in some cases these
have been successful.
The moderating OF the weather re-
lieved the dealers from the dificuity
of supplying the small consumers and
their attention is now turned to get
ting fuel for the factories.
A local coal dealer when interrogat-
ed concerning the outlook, said: I'VE
expect to have the difficulty settled by
Monday. On Sunday the railroads,
which are the chief cause of the fam
inc. will, it is said, exert all means
available to move the coal from the
mines. We have enough coal now to
supply our factory trade"
No efforts will be made at the Car
nahan works to start until Monday
morning, although there is enough
fuel on hand to work with.
At the Cleveland Axle works the
situation is growing brighter. Some
coal is being gotten from farmers lii
this vicinity. The shop. however.
will not start up till Monday. This
company has 80 carloads of coal in
transit, but these are delayed at
Wellsville by a blockade.
The Malleable Iron works is still
getting coal in wagons from the city,
but does not expect to be forced to
shut down.
