BETTER LIGHT ON CENTRAL'S CARS.
Electricity Supplants Gas for Illumination on
the Empire State Express.

The Empire state Express arrived at the Grand
Central Station night 80 o'clock. after her
first with the new electric lighting system with
which the New-York Central has been experiment.
ing for the last eighteen months, 1t is pronounced
entirely successful, and the passengers were de
lighted with the result.
Each car is equipped with thirty-two incandes-
cent lights supplied with electricity from its own
axles This system has advantage over other
systems, in that each is independent. there is
no complicated machinery, requiring the presence
of electrical expert with each train. and the
lights do not go out every time the train stops
1t is pronounced great contrast to the gas lights
with which the Centrals cars have been equipped
An official of the road said last night that all its
cars will be equipped with the new light.
