Gas Electric Car Tested.

On Wednesday at Schenectady, N. Y,
officials of the Delaware and 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. Thu 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 a 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 on the
Delaware and Hudson lines, and will be
used on several of its branch roads.

CHICAGO.

While the month just closed was con-
spicuous for drastic measures in restoring
credit and reducing merchandise to safe
proportions, the process of REIMBURSEMENT
has been attended with less trouble than
feared and conditions generally now make
q better basis for future operations in
commerce. The week has seen new de-
mands in manufacturing come forward
slowly, but the exhibit is an improving
one, and there is broader activity in the
d~istributive lines. Low temperature '.ug-
mented the buying in leading retail lines,
particularly of heavyweight apparel and
household furnishings. Interior buyers
appeared in greater numbers.
Advices indicate seasonable Roadway in
disposing of country stocks, these being
now brought down comfortably, and road
statesmen report less difficulty in booking
orders for forward delivery.
Improved financial conditions are re-
fected in a wider circulation of currency
throughout the agricultural sections, and
this has made mercantile collections
easier, although more than a normal num-
Der of trading defaults is again in evil
dence and extensions are frequently ask
ed. The banking position shows steady

posts and discount operations, with
money cheaper, although not yet suff-
GENTLY inviting to attract new enterprises.
Production in the leading industries is
not expected to disclose notable changes,
but there is moderate increase over a
month ago in iron, steel, wood and leath-
er working, and idle forces are smaller
than in last week. Important considera-
tions as to costs of supplies and labor
and the yet limited flow of fresh orders
prolong the feeling Of caution which pre-
walls in many quarters. Some factory
outputs still lag and only slightly renew
ed activity may appear in these branches
before the spring months. Receipts OF
the raw materials continue restricted in
lumber, wool and in minor metals, but
have gained over last year in hides and
live stock.
Failures reported in the Chicago dis
trict number 81, against 80 last week and
26 a year ago. Those with liabilities over
$4,000 number 10, against 16 last week

AN OLD TIME VALENTINE.


I found 1t In a drawer to-day,
With haHforgotten, old-time thiess'
Holding within a ring of gold
A Cupid with closs-folded wings.
And greeting traced In faded ink,
q Signed with q name that once could stir
Each languid pulse to swiftest beat
All, me, how sweet those old days were !.
We little dreamed the time would come
When seas and continents would be
The least of all the mighty bars
!, Between the path YOU tread and me.
What cruel wind of circumstance
a Wa 1t that blew across our way,
It'll all Hopes cloud-capped palaces
In shattered ruins, round us lay
What matter-since a memory
Alone unites our lives to-day;
Since I am sitting here alone,
And you are wandering far awayf
I would not turn Times chariot back,
Fen II the power was given to me-
I know the dream was sweet-who knows
II the fulhlment sweet would be
Il I could know that you to-day .
Remembered once this faded scroll,
And wondered If, in time to come
When soul goes seeking kindred soul,
Our souls might meet across the space
with understanding, death
The tagging years would seem to me
But milestones on a pleasant road.

SLAIN BY SON.
Brcathitt 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 Hargfs,
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 eXac 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 in1amed 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 VIC
lence to restrain his on.
Beach, who is reported to have beer
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 a few moments conversation drew
a revolver and fired three shots a
point blank range.
Mercy Mercy! You've killed me,
appealed the elder man as he lay OF
the floor. Young Hargis' answer wa!
to fire two more bullets into his par
ent's PROSTATE body.
A panic ensued, during which The
store was emptied and Town Marsha
Goran Smith notified. Smith, will
Grover Blanton, placed young Hargis
under arrest after a desperate struggle
during which he raved like a mailman
He was removed to the county jail
fighting every inch of the way with hi
captOrs.

Liquor UNDER BAN.
In Eighty Cities Of the United States
Prohibition Now Rules.

ETOQlplI1Ou NOW 1Nu1oS.
Under the strong tide Of prohibition.
which has SO imPressiyeiy demonstrate
ed its power in Southern States, the
dry area in America has been dou-
bled in the last twelve months. Eighty
cities in seventeen States are now en-
forcing prohibition laws on their p
100000 inhabitants, and Of these eighty
municipalities, thirty-three went dry"
In 1907. Some come under general pro-
hibition statutes, as the Georgia cities,
hut many of them have voted dry un-
der the provisions Of a local option
law.
Additions to the list Of dry cities
during 1907 include: Alabama-Annis,

ton.
Particular watch has been kept on
Atlanta to discover just how the much
discussed Georgia law operates there.
This watch was kept by the Atlanta
Constitution, which did not favor pro-
hibition, and that papers testimony is
believed to be unbiased.
III a special story the Constitution
admits that the elimination of whisky
has worked a revolution In the city.s
worst quarter, and as is almost invari-
ably the case, the police records show
that the public is actually saving mon
,y by the operation of the dry stat
ute. In Atlanta, on January 4, 1907
when the high license Law was in eff
feet, there were siXty-three police cases,
thirty-two of which were connected
with drunkenness. On January A, 1908,
just eight days after the dry law Went
into effect, there We're just seventeen
police cases in Atlanta, not one being
for drunkenness.
These facts will be used In argu.
ments being brought to bear on Con
gress for legislation to make the Dis
trict of Columbia dry and to forbid
such interstate commerce which will
dump Original package liquor into
prohibition territory.

For this doggerel he invented a melo-

never found it's way into print. The
elder Cabaniss always told his children

Rhymes Attributed to Lincoln.

An old friend of mine named Cabaniss
recently told me that Abraham Lincoln
worked for his father in 1882. AT that
time a great rise occurred in the San
CANON river, and a steamboat, taking
advantage of the high water, came up the
stream. My friend was then a child, and
tie whistling of the boat frightened him.
Lincoln, then a tall, angular young man,
took him in his INNS and carried him
aboard the boat. After the departure Of
tn craft Lincoln wrote some rhymes
about the incident, one verse of which
the Cabaniss family preserved. 1t ran
thus:
The Illinois suckers, green and raw,
Collected on the S~angamaw
To see a boat come up the stream;
They surely thought it was a dream.
