ELECTRICITY ON THE LAoKAwANYA.

Tt IS hardly possible 90 doubt that sooner or
fster all the steam railways in operation near
New York VIII employ electricity for the move
ment Of their suburban trains. There may be
good reasons for deferrtng the adoption OF the
policy 20 which the New York Central the New
Haven and Long Island roads are already COM
mitted, but undue delay would presumably be
followed by loss OF patronage. for many COM
muters would be tempted 10 change their places
Of residence in order TO get the benefit OF thor
oughly modern transportation methods.
The first OF the railroad companies serving
the region Immediately beyond the Hudson
which signifed a disposition 10 use electricity
was the Pennsylvania. Through how great an
area Il viii extend its facilities has not
been announced and may not have been fully
determined, but they will hardly be limited 10

oils. The Erie Is nov running electric trains
regularly on a portion OF the division between
Rochester and Corning. and that fact alone af-
fOrds a promising assurance for towns and
cities much further east. IL is now evident that
the i.ackawanna also has had the subject under
consideration and is unwilling 90 allow its rivals
10 secure any great advantage.
The principal cause Of the Lacka wsnna's de-
laS in beginning to equip its road for electric
service j. said 10 he the reluctance Of Orange

the Use Of electrcity-the elimination OF grade
crossings That the railroad company would
gain most from the proposed changes is ex-
tremely probable. but municipalities have some
times borne a part OF the cost Of getting rid
OF grade crossings, the theory that the pub

the view which prevailed in Brooklyn. for In

That is n literary output which. it strikes us
fairly lays Mr.. Bryan open TO the charge Of
having a monopoly of political idea production

The report that the Pope is considering the

Gates an appropriate sequel to the recent con-

1t has seemed 10 us from the beginning most
probable that some mOdus vivend would be

have said II is impossible that the whole French
government should be animated with a desire 20

HOT CONTESTS ON FOR
 HIGH SCHOOL LOCATIONS
Splendid Inducements Being Offered by Countes Where It is Realized
 What Schools Are Worth.

Two delegations seeking high schools for their communities called at the Capitol yesterday to confer with superintendent of Education Gunnels and to set out their inducements for the location of the school One was from Butler, Choctaw county, headed by Samuel Ispsy and Nat Sterling. The other delegation was from Collinsville DeKalb County. and was headed by D. c. Williams and Boston Killian.
 There fs hot fight in both of these eountes for the location of the high school. In Choctaw, Yantley and Siias are both applying and have offered splendid Inducements. In DeKalb coun-. ty CollinsviIle Is one among five ap- Srpssville and skiriIn all want cellent offers. Collinsville's delera- ton yesterday offered td erect school building costing $i0,000, to furnish electric lights and free water from a spring in the rear of the school build ing. This spring is situated on a high hill which will insure gravity pres- sure enough to force water through all the hydrants. It is also proposed to donate 1SS acres of ground. which is now valued at $s per acre. and which. 1t is claimed. will be worth $30 an acre when the school is erected.
 All of the contests are being hard fought, as after a school is once es- tablished a county 1t will remain there. and will mean much for the development of the community in which 1t Is established.

 Marion, Oct. fo.--(Special. )--The usual quiet of Marion was somewhat stirred last night by call over the Lincoln Normal College for negroes. by the principal. Mrs. Phillips, stating that a negro had rushed from the room of one of the teachers.
 Deputy Mcculiy responded at once. carrying his bloodhounds The dogs had no trouble in finding the trail. which they followed for some distance through the residence portion of town, when they lost 1t.
 The story as told by Mrs. Phillips Is that on returning of one of the teach CTS to her room from supper. negro jumped at her from behind rhe door. She screamed and 1t frightened him. He jumped out of the window and ss- caped. A bunch of keys and some pa pers were missing from the room.
 It is thought here no assault was intended as a recent attempt was made to burn the college building. which has been kept a secret, and the infer ence Is some trouble exists in the management of the school.
 The Lincoln Normal is a negro school. located about q mile west of the court house. It was established about ten years ago by Northern people, and Is presided over by Mrs. Phillips. white woman. assisted by several white wo- men teachers and some negro teach CTS. .
 This is the first instance of any trou- ble. the public has been aware of since the school was established. and the common opinion Has been that the school was doing good work. The attendance sometimes reaches 300. The college is 2 well arranged brick struc- ture, comparatively new and splsndidly located. well fitted up. and has ampts buildings for the accommodation of the teachers. .e 5. fsai.,
