MOTOR CARS HERE.
THE CHICAGO & ALTON WILL
PUT TWO INTO SERVICE
JULY FIRST.
TWO OF THESE CARS ON BRANCH.
f.ains Will be Run Between Fulton
and Mexico in Less Than One
Hour-Illinois Branches Get
Them Too.


1881
f. J. Burns, general passenger
agent OF the Chicago s. Alton railroad
with headquarters 10 Kansas City, was
here a few days ago and told w. e,
Pearce, the local agent, that the
branch will this spring be equipped
with gasoline electric motor cars.
have already been ordered and will be
Installed about July /.
Two OF these cars will be put on
the branch and connections will be
made with all main line trains at
Mexico. These cars will be run at a
rate ota little over thirty miles an
hour and stops will not only be made
at depots, but at all flag stations.
The run between Fulton ana Mexico
will be made in less than an hour.
The roadbed OF the branch will all
be gone over In the near future and a
new roadbed made and heavier rails
laid. The passenger trains now run
ming On the branch commonly known
here as the Reyes specials, will be dis
continued. The freight trains will be
run as usual for a while, but in a few
months gasoline electric freight cars
will take their places.
The motive power Of these cars will
be gasoline. They will be able to run
as fast as 10 miles an hour and can
be run at 30 miles an hour.
The electric motor, a storage battery,
will be installed in each car, will be
used especially In starting and stop
ping the cars quickly. These cars,
according to the plan from which they
are being built, will seat SO passen-
gers exclusive of a smoker" section,
which will seat Is persons. 1t is esti-
mated that these motor cars can be
operated at IS per cent of the cost OF
running steam trains.
The Alton is the first road to
these motor cars in Missouri. |
After a fair trial on its branches, II
'ound altogether practicable, they
will be used on the main lines.
The cars will also be at once put on
Jhe Atoms branches In Illinois, one
'unning between st. Louis and SPRING
ield and n between Chicago and
Bloomington.
This looks as though the Alton has
lot entirely deserted Fulton, though
t was the general opinion for the last
years.
Some say the prososed improve.
nent is due to the fact that the Mis-.
ouri Central Electric railrod is to
,e built through Fulton.

number Of prominent merchants supported the
bill, but ii carried an amendment entirely uE-
satisfactory to them. Believing this was iE

feating it. The result that Mr.. jerome went
to Governor Higgins this morning to explain
the situation and his feeling toward Senator
Bracket. He said:
At the hearing this bill not opposed by
anybody; but now imagine our establishment at
seeing 1t opposed in the legislature by repre-
sentative of rural constituency where we sup,

in was the selling of legislation.
