WILL TRY ELECTRICITY.
''Pennsy'' to Adopt New System on
Seashore Line.
,ecial Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PITrSBURG. Pa, December .. The
Pennsylvania railroad is going to try the
experiment of eledtrifying its lines. and the
first part of the system to be equipped
with a third rail will be the busy line be
tween Philadelphia and Atlantic City. This
information came from authentic PenHsyl-
vania sources in Plttsburg today. The
movement is the result of conference held
by George Westinghouse and President a.
]. Cassatt in Philadelphia. few days ago.
The electrifying Of the seashore line Will
not be made before NEXT summer, but II
will be completed in time for the heavy ex-
cursion business President Cassatt desires
to give the experiment the severest test
possible, and the Atlantic City crowds Will
assuredly furnish 1t.
The preference of President Cassatt is
distinctly for the third-rail system rather
than the overhead. Powerful locomotives
of the latest pattern built by the Westing-
house company at the Baldwin works for
the New Haven line will be used. Trains
will be run much more frequently TO At
lantic City. but there will be no change in
fare.

FIRE SWEPT MOUNTAIN
A Disastrous Confagration on
Mount Echo,
NEAR LOS ANGELES, CAL.
PEOPLE AT THE HOTELS FLED ON
FOOT TO HILLS FOR SAFETY.
The Observatory and Valuable Con-
tents Saved After Hard Fight
Loss Estimated at $500, 900.

LOS ANGELES, December 9.-Fire today
swept Echo mountain, destroying all the
buildings except the Mount Lowe Obser-
vatory and damaging other property. The
loss is 100000. Telephone poles, railroad
power house and much valuable machinery
were destroyed. Communication by wire
and travel by rail were cut off and the
people at the Casino and the railway hotel
had to flee on foot to the hills
Twice the flames threatened Mount Lowe
Observatory. but hard work, saved the
! building and its valuable contents from
more than a scorching.
The fire started just after daybreak at
the foot CT the trail where the Pacific
Electric Companys Mount Lowe line en-
tiers Rubio canyon.
Flames Spread Rapidly.
The flames swept rapidly up the face of
the huge buttress of Echo mountain and
enveloped the row of buildings that lined
the edge of the bluff.
The power house that served the incline
railway, the Mount Lowe extension and the
enormous searcbiisht, was destroyed, and
all the machinery is ruined. The Casino
and the railway company's hotel, located
800 feet apart, caught fire about the same
time
Long before the flames reached the settle
nent the persons who lived there had fed
Tor safety into the hills
The flames passed across the high pIateau
on which the Echo mountain settlement
stood, toward the observatory situated
snort distance above Echo mountain on the
SIDE or the hill. Here the men, driven out
by strenuous efforts. diverted the course of
the flames so they passed around the build
ingS.
The fire had mounted to the first line of
TIMBER and entered the belt of pine trees
on the higher range
The buildings destroyed were erected at
great expense, and the raising of the heavy
power house machinery to the top of the
incline cost a small fortune.

The Other Side.


p 1T is an easy matter to understand why
many poor persons and children take things
from stores during the Christmas holidays
the detective continued. Zone afternoon
last winter a call was received at head
quarters from store on 7th street and the
person who had offended against the law
proved TO be a poor colored girl from the
country who haf never before seen a doll
baby She had strayed from the house of a
relative and followed the crowds into the
store. There was a sight that was calcu-
lated to confuse and drive any similar child
to appropriate one CT more articles. She
saw dolls being purchased, and dresses for
them, too. Some of them almost looked as
If they were alive, and the poor country
girl wanted one. All she had to do was to
pick up enc and walk out with it, she
thought.
THE child picked up a doll and dress and
started in the direction of the door oniy to
be stopped and told that she was under ar
rest. She was so ignorant that she did not
know what was meant by arrestng her
and 1t was not until after she reached head
quarters that She understood that she had
been deprived of her liberty. The attractive
pictures of Santa Claus are calculated to
make such persons absent-minded," con-
cluded the detective, land get them into
trouble"
Temptation to Children.
It is said by the police that small children
who are permitted to go shopping without
attendants frequently yield to temptation
and take small articles. Such offenders are
not always arrested, but are sometimes
warned of the possible serious consequences
of such conduct. Many older persons who
are caught in the act of stealing are per-
mitted to go after being warned. Years ago
ii was the custom of the proprietors of
stores to deprive the dishonest persons of
what they had taken and let them go rather
than be Inconvenience by having their en-
ployes waste time in going TO court. :
That method of dealing with them has
about been abandoned and the older Offend
ers are generally arrested. This method of
dealing with them, it is thought is most
effective and deters others from wrongdo-
ing. During the Christmas shopping sea-
son the detectives find work much harder
than at other seasons.
1t Is worse on them this year than here
tofore because they have to report for duty
at O'Clock In the morning. one hour ear
Her than during prior years. The extra
work Will mean that the detectives will
have to remain on the streets or about the
stores SO late that 1t will be impossible for
them to get home until after midnight In
order to reach the Office In time for o. clock
roll call ii Is necessary for most of them
to rise shortly after o'clock They ex-
pect to get but little rest during the holt
days unless Maj. Sylvester shall make a
temporary change in the hours for them
