That official was not at all sure that the
death had resulted from natural causes.
He decided To hold an autopsy and did
so this noon.
The result was alarming. Mrs. Moore
was found 10 have died from violence.
She had received four blows upon her
head.
One was on the mouth. one at the root
OF the nose, one was on the forehead and
one was on the right side OF the head and
over the ear.
DR. Perkins reported the case as one
calling for an inquest and one will be
held by Coroner r. III. Lincoln.
Later IL was ascertained that the po-
lice have discovered that Moore was not
at work Tuesday night. as he had alleged
and that he hadn't been employed for a
week.
Also the story that ne told that he had
slept in a round house that night and
that his nine-year-old son let him NJ the
house at 9 a. m, is not true.
Moore was in the house all night, and,
as the boy asserts, he and his father
were both In bed at the hour Moore said
that he entered the house.
Moore Is now under arrest at the Sec
ond Police station.

Before a jury In Judge Johnsons court
was begun today the trial Of the suit
OF John J. Fox TO recover $4,000 from the
city of Providence for injuries received
on Francis street by reason OF an eIe-
walton in the roadway. Mr.. Fox was
riding his bicycle on the thoroughfare

owing to the condition OF the road was
thrown from his bike and badly hurt
Al previous trial OF the case a Jury
gave Mr.. Fox verdict for $4,000 but
this was set aside by the appellate dlvis-
lon OF the supreme court on the ground
that the testimony did not show the roed- :

ELECTRIC BRAKE.
The First Successful Invention In
It's Line.

The First Successful Invention In
Its Line.
That electricity is not only crowding
out the steam locomotive, but that 1t
is rapidly encroaching on other railroad
work, is quite evident from recent in
ventions and developments. The brake
field is the last one Of the railroad
fields to be invaded, and, while not
supplandng the air brake, it is not i'm
possible that electricity may in the
near future have something incidental
to do with brake operation on rail-
roads.
Up to the present time all electric at
tachments to air brakes upon trial have
been found deficient and faulty, but
that a successful development of this
branch Of the work is matter of the
near future is shown by the illustra-
ton herewith.
The illustration shown is view from
between the rails, showing the opera
ton Of brake operated and controlled
by electric current. The track brake
shoes, suspended above the rails, are
connected by a magnetic coil which Is
energized by electric current. When
the current is sent to this coil it mag.
netizes the brake shoes, which in turn
are drawn to the rails and caused to
slide along with considerable friction.
Not only does this friction retard the

BRAKE IN OPERATION.

motion of the car, but it forces back
a lever, which in turn forces the brake
shoe against the Wheel There is a
thrust rod connected to the top end OF
the lever. which transmits the force
farther oiong to the forward lever and
brake shoe, as shown in the cut. Thus
braking Is done by the sliding shoe on
the rail and also by the brake shoes or
the wheels.
The degree of braking force is de.
termined and regulated by the amount
Of electric current sent to the coil con-
Meeting the track shoes. This current
is generated by the regular motor on
the car, which, when the propelling cur
rent IS cut off at the controller by the
motorman, still revolving, becomes a
generator and sends current to the
magnetic coil and the brake shoes. The
higher the number Of revolutions the
motor is making the higher current it
is sending out; therefore the higher the
speed of the car the higher is the
brsking force.-Railway and Locomo-

He's Popular.

When he comes footing down the street
Upon his little horn
You'll hear a scurrying of feet,
AS sure as you are born.
The children gather very soon
And gaze with longing eyes
Upon the red or blue balloon
That's floating toward the skies.
He really has a charming lot
Of toy balloons to sell;
Each son and daughter to the spot
Is chained as with a spell.
His horn toots out tuneless tune;
They gaze with longing eyes
Each at a red or blue balloon,
A muchly wanted prize.
They sway and sway upon the breeze
And bob and nod In joy;
They seem to say, Come, puy "'
please,
You little girl or boy"
The children laugh and softly crooh
And gaze with longing eyes
Upon a red or blue balloon
Betwixt them and the skies.
At last the vender turns away
And moves off down the streep
And then the children in dismay
Speed home with flying feet.
There they their parents importune
With little pleading eyes
To buy a red or blue balloon
To float up toward the skies.

NEW YORK, May 15.-Aboard the
fleet yachts lying in the bay that are
to take part in the great trans-Atlan
tic race to begin tomorrow, there was
much activity today. Everything was
being put in ship shape in anticipation
of the start. Public interest in the con-
expected that thousands of persons will
go out to the Hook tomorrow to wit
ness the beginning of the race for the
emperor's trophy.
It will be the first time in nearly a
score Of years that there has been a
yacht race across the Atlantic. The
last race sailed across the ocean was
the Dauntless. The race was started
off Bay Ridge in March of that year
and the two yachts raced to Queens
town. The stakes were $4,000 side.
The Coronet won, covering the 2,949
miles and making the voyage in IA
days, 20 hours, 80 minutes.
Previous to this race there were
several other contests of the kind that
excited great interest. The first ocean
race was between the American
schooners Henrietta, Fleetwing, and
Vesta, George and Franklin Osgood
the F1eetwing, and James Gordon Ben
nett the Henrietta. The stakes were
$50 900 a corner, making 100000 in all.
The Henrietta won the race, though
both of the other contestants came in
but eight hours behind.
The next race was between the Cam
bria, owned by James Ashbury of Lon
don, and the Dauntless, owned by
sailed in 1870 for a cup worth $3.50.
The British yacht won by one hour ana
43 minutes The Cambria sailed a
northern course, while the Dauntless
took a middle course The Cambria
sailed 2,917 miles in % days, hours,
II minutes; and the Dauntless 1858
miles in % days, hours.
The best time of a yacht across the
Atlantic was not made in a race. The
schooner Endymion in 1900 crossed
from Sandy Hook to the Lizard in 10
days, 20 hours. she averaged 10 knots
an hour for the passage, and estab-
lished a record for the course sailed.

BELASCO EMPLOYE MARRIES
Ticket Taker at Theater Busy Dis

w. T. D. Courtright, the ticket taker
at the Belasco theater, has been pass
ing out souvenirs for the past two
days in the shape of choice cigars. He
is not doing this in his capacity of
an employe of the Belasco, but SIM
ply through a personal desire to share
with the entire human race a happi-
ness too great to be concealed.
Any one who salutes the doorkeeper
of the Belasco theater this week with
the words, How do you like married
life?" will receive a most expansive
smile and a cigar.
w. T. D. Courtright, who is too pop
ular to be known by any such array
of initials and is called only Billy"
was married last week to Miss Daisy
Barber. The bride is we'll known in
Los Angeles, having for three years
been bookkeeper for the California Bill

for that firm before he accepted the
position with the Belasco theater. The
bride and groom may be found at home
at 610 West Fourth street.
