In electricity there IL nothing more
interesting than Its application 10
steam railways. Engineers Of high
standing believe that the day IL near
At hand when most Of the larger rail-
ways will dispense with steam locomo-
dives and employ electrical motive
power. either by motors fed from third
rails or overhead conductors. or by
electric locomotives. However this
may be. electricity Is already coming
into use On steam railways. The New
York Centrsi Is spending forty million
dollars for electrincstioD OF its metro
polit m terminal. partly for the pur-
pose Of dispensing with smoke and
coal gas In the tunnels. and partly to
obtain higher speed OF trains.

CAPTURE BOND THIEF
NEW YORK OFFICERS ARREST
MAN WHO STOLE SOME VAL.
LIABLE SECURITIES.

New York, Oct. BY the confess
sion Of Henry A. Leonard, q young
clerk in the employ of Halle & Stieg-
litz, brokers at 80 Broad street, the
mystery of the robbery on Wednes-
day last of $359,O00 worth Of securi-
ties from khe National City bank was
cleared up Monday. Leonard, who
lives with his parents at $50 East
One Hundred and T%hirty-sixth street,
was arrested Sunday and kept in close
confinement while the detectives con-
tinued their search for the missing
securities, every dollar of which was
recovered Monday.
The prisoner, who is only twenty
four years old, and who has prev
iously borne the reputation Of being
an industrious and thoroughly reliable
clerk, made the astounding statement
in his confession that he had planned
and carried out his scheme of for
gerry and robbery, not from any Grim
inal motive, but solely to show by
what a simple device the elaborate
safeguards Of New York banks could
be set at naught. That this statement
Is true is in a measure c%orroborated
by the facts in the case and is the
belief of the young mans employers,
by whom he was highly esteemed.
