Gas Electric Car Tested.

On Wednesday at Schenectady, n. Y,
officials of the Delaware spd Hudson
Company and the American Locomotive
COMPANY made a test of the new gas cleo
trio car which is expected to revolution
ize railroading on short lines. 1t com
bines in one the power house, transmits
sion lines, substations and all the benefits
of electric traction without the costly
and cumbersome features of the trolley.
A powerful gas engine drives an electric
generator. The current obtained in this
way supplies power to the motors which
drive the car. The gas engine, which con-
sumes gasoline, runs very smoothly, and
the electrical equipment assures perfect
control of speed and as comfortable rid
ing as is enjoyed in the modern interur-
ban electric. The shape of the ends of
the car is parabolic, to reduce the air
resistance to a minimum when travelling
at high speed The eight-cylinder gas
engine develops $50 horsepower, and is
coupled to 100 horsepower direct current
generator. The machinery worked finely
on all kinds of grades, and speed of
over sixty miles an hour was made at
times. The car was especially designed
and constructed by the General Electric
Company for steam railroad work oh the
Delaware and Hudson lines, and will be
used on several of its branch roads.

HARG|S SLAIN BY SON.
Breathitt County, Kentucky, Terror
Shot, Down While Busy in
His Store.
QUARREL BEFORE TRAGEDY.
Long and Deadly Struggle of Two
Factions of Mountaineers
Recalled.

Former County Judge James Hargis,
notorious Kentucky feud leader, prac-
teal dictator of Breathitt county, and
accused of completely in many murders
was shot and instantly killed in his
general store at Jackson by his son,
Beach Hargis. The son fired five shots
in rapid succession, four of which took
effect in his fathers body.
The exact cause of the quarrel which
resulted in Judge Hargis' death is I'M
known. 1t is supposed however, that
the killing was the result of an old
grudge between father and son, which
had been infiamed of late by the young
mans dissolute habits The two men
are said to have had an alteration
several nights before, during which the
father was compelled to resort to vio-
lence to restrain his son.
Beach, who is reported to have been
drinking heavily of late, entered his
fathers general store in the middle of
the afternoon. Judge Hargis was stand
ing behind the counter in the rear of
the place, and several customers were
grouped in the front. Young Hargis,
who was apparently under the influence
of liquor at the time, walked toward
his father, who is said to have remon-
strated with him. A quarrel started,
which attracted the attention of the
customers. Young Hargis then Joined
his father behind the counter, and af-
ter few moments conversation drew
a revolver and fired three shots at
point blank range.
Mercy Mercy! You've killed me-"
appealed the elder man as he lay on
the floor. Young Hargis' answer was
to- fire two more bullets into his par
ents PROSTATE body.
A panic ensued, during which the
store was emptied and Town Marshal
Goran Smith notified. Smith, with
Grover Blanton, placed young Hargis
under arrest after desperate struggle,
during which lie raved like a mailman
He was remot ed to the county Jail,

CHICAGO.


Conditions of trade in the Chicago dis
trict are summarized in tie weekly re-
view issued by r. G. Dun & Co., as fol-
lows:
Trade activity felt the check imposed
by the severe weather and the marketing
OF farm products was restricted. but the
general conditions toward recovery re-
main encouraging and a healthier tone an
pears in the leading branches. Much at
tention is devoted to the course of dis
tributive dealings in mercantile lines, and
thus far the indications are mainly sat-
isfactory.
Good Roadway is made in reducing both
local and country stocks, although clear
ance sales are yet in evidence.
The markets for wholesale staples show
large attendance of visiting buyers and
increasing selections arc noted in the
textiles. footwear, furp;ture, clothing and
hardware. Road saiesmen report more
numerous orders and the outlook is bet
ter for spring and summer wares. but
there is some hesitation due to a feeling
that cost may yet go lower.
Agricultural conditions remain excep-
tionally good, and with a continuance of
high values for grain the prospects be-
come brighter for wider consumption of
necessaries.
Financial affairs reflect gratifying re-
action from the depression and more
funds seek investment. Money is in
greater supply, with the discount rates
easier.
Additional assumptions in the iron in
dustry and further decrease of idle work
ers furnish the main developments in the
principal lines of production.
Woodworking is more extensive than
month ago, and this imparts better
tone to lumber dealings.
Failures reported in the Chicago dis
trict number 81, against 81 last week and
