WILL MAKE ALLOWANCE
Is Willing to Give Woman
$4,000 a Year, but Refuses
the Lump Sum She Wants
Special Dispatch to The Call

SARATOGA, Aug. u.-With the great
est reluctance John E. Madden, owner OF
Hamburg Place. breeding farm in Ken
tUcky, the friend and adviser OF all the
millionaire turfmen IN the country, en-
tered to-day into legal fight to prevent
Anna Louise Madden, his wife, from win
ming the suit she instituted to compel
him to pay her 100000.
Attorney George r. Salisbury, for Mad
den, to-day served on William T Moore,
the referee in Mrs Madden's proceedings
FOR alimony, an order signed by Justice
John kellogg OF Ogdensburg restrain
ing him from examining the turfman on
subpoena issued by Justice Sewell Of
New York
Mrs. Madden is at present trying
through her counsel to compel her hus-
band to give testimony in her suit for
ahmony- That his marital troubles are
worrying the great horseman no one who
knows him can deny. He seldom smiles
and refuses to discuss his troubles.
While asserting that never again will
he resume the relation Of husband to
Mrs Madden, the tUrfman cannot con-
ceal the fact that he still loves her. In
speaking Of his children Madden said:
II love my boys. They are fine, manly
little fellows. just at the age when they
can be easily influenced. 1 intend TO rear
them with every care for their health
and every regard for the welfare OF their
souls and the improvement OF their
minds. Ny boys must be protected at any
cost, and 1 will defend them II necessary
with my life. Mrs. Madden can see them
any hour Of the day or night, but don't
want them kidnapped nor spirited away"
At present Madden is paying his wife
5000 annually and is willing to increase
this sum, but he is determined not to
pay her the 100000 for which she Is suing.

the West is remarkably good and stead
lily improving, and he added that the
business Of the Southern Pacific Com
pany is progressing with the general con-
dition. Before undertaking the construc-
tion Of the tunnels through the Sierras
the Hartman syndicate Will have started
q number Of extensions of its lines in the
Northwest, where il is estimated that
about 500 900 will be expended.
It is said that a line will be built from
Drain to Marshfeld, on Coos Bay, which
will connect the main lines of the syndi-
cate with the Coos Bay, Roseburg and
Eastern Railroad. The latter extends
from Marshfield twenty-eight miles to
Myrtle Point, touching at Coquille, and
has a branch to Beaver Hill. Other eX-
tensions are being planned in Washing
ton and Idaho, including many road
buildings between Riparia and Grange
vile, the cost Of which, it is understood,
viii be shared by James ]. Hill Of the
rival railroad system.
On his return to New York three
months hence President Hartman will
take up with Kuhn, Loeb & Co, for
whom he acts as financial agent with
degree of shrewdness that has earned
for him the enmity of Gould, Hill and
Clark the plan for issuing a consolida-
ton bond for the Southern Pacific lines
in lieu Of the bonds now out. Many of
the Southwestern lines of the Southern
Pacific system are now paying as high
as per cent on bonds. 1t is the Harri-
man plan 10 redeem these bonds and is
sue a 1 per cent bond, thus saving the
financial hackers of the big railroad syn
dicate millions of money in interest.
Arriving here yesterday with a number
of Southern Pacific officials, who went up
the road to meet him, President Harri-
man sent his family direct to the Palace
Hotel then proceeded 10 the Southern
Pacific Company's new offices on Caiifor-
MIA street, where he entered upon long
conference. He also spent some time with
General Manager Schwerin of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company, and at the
close Of the day he announced that the
business discussions would be resumed
early to-day and continue until he IS
ready to leave for the Orient.

a thunderstorm that passed over this
city, Mrs George Brown, young woman.
we'll known throughout this section of
the country and Northern Wyoming, was

stockings, and literally cooking the
corpse

NEW TRIUMPH
FOR EDISON
Wizard Declares He Has Per-
fected a Storage Battery
Better Than the Old Kind
WEIGHS ONLY ONE HALF
Cell as Now Arranged Will
Drive Two Ton Truck at
Rate of 80 Miles an Hour
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Aug. u.-Thomas A. Edi-
son announced yesterday afternoon at his
home in Orange that after two years OF
experimenting he is finally satisfied with
the merits of his new storage battery and
that he will at once begin the erection OF
a factory to manufacture the cells on a
large scale for the trade.
This is the latest, and while not the
greatest of the wizards many inventions.
it is an accomplishment for which many
electricians have been striving many
years.
The cell as now perfected will drive a
two-ton truck at a rate of thirty-three
miles an hour with half the weight of the
old method.
A small dealer can operate a delivery
wagon with its power at oS per cent OF
the cost of maintaining horse. An or
binary automobile will run 100 miles un-
der ordinary conditions without rechars-
ing. Under the most favorable conditions
80 miles can be covered at a speed of
twenty miles an hour.
More than these facts have been
claimed for the cell by others, but 1t was
not until yesterday that Edison himself
would even speculate as to the possibill-
ties of his new invention. The wizard
has experimental with $4,000 cells to per-
feet one. Yesterday, when he made an
with the results, he appeared to be as
happy as a schoolboy on a long vacation,
and now, he says, he is going to play
in the woods.
The storage cell is small and encased
in iron. Instead of containing the old
lead plates of the original battery, it con-
tains alternate plates of iron and nickel
in potash lye solution.
THE troubles in the battery l have
ri,,nv FAr tx1rr rPn0P6V
been purely mechanical" said Edison.
They have been greatly due to the
swelling of the nickel element. l have
succeeded in reducing the weight or the
battery from forty to forty-f1ve pounds
per horsepower 1t has taken time to
find out what was needed for this Dat
terry. We cannot look ahead and see just
what such thing is going to do after
we have it sketched on paper In the
two years l have been experimenting we
have turned out some 1900 cells OF the
battery and have operated 16O auto
vehicles.
II do not pretend to have solved the
problem for touring vehicles. That can
only be possible when more charging sta
tions are spread about the country
Young Cooper Hewitt of New York has
helped solve that problem with hts mer-
curry rectifier, which takes the place OIL
the old transformer and makes II pos
sible to convert the alternating currents
used in small towns so as to make them
available for charging the batteries

West Jersey and SeashOre Rail.
road Stock In Demand

The sale at auction recently of II
shares of special guaranteed stock of
the West Jersey & Seashore Railroad,
in two lots of and four shares, at
rs and 75B, respectively, calls attention
TO the fact that this stock rarely reaches
the open market. Whenever it does
representatives of the Pennsylvania
Railroad are generally on hand to pur-
chase it if it should sell anywhere near
its par value, which is so.
There are at present outstanding only
$104, 800 (par value) of this stock, held
largely by South Jersey people, who
fully recognize its value. The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad or the West Jersey &
Seashore has made repeated efforts to
have this stock of the West Jersey &
Seashore, but so far without success.
Failing in that the company is on the
alert to buy the stock whenever a bar
gain presents itself, but so far has been
able to secure but SO shares. The special
guaranteed 6 per cent. stock of the West
Jersey d Seashore was originally issued
in October, 1887, by the old West Jer-
sey Railroad, in exchange, share for
share, for the stock of the Salem Rail
road, which was purchased that year
by the West Jersey. Subsequently, in
May, 1896, when the West Jersey and
other railroads in South Jersey were
merged into the newly organized West
Jersey & Seashore, the West Jersey
special guaranteed 8 per cent. STOCK
was again exchanged, share for share
for the present West Jersey & Sea
shore special guaranteed 6 per cent
stock.
