It is of soiid silver handsomely e | graved bearing on the obverse a female head | crowned with laurel and the words “Republique Francaise.” On the reverse sa female figure typifying the genius of the French republic with « glimpse of the exposition buildings and a flying Mercury bearing a card upon which is the name “George W. Casilear.,, The legend around the edge is “Exposition Univer- selle Internationsie de 1878 Paris.” This was the highest compliment paid to an engraver at this exposition and was a just tribute to Mr. Casilear's skill and ability, which has designed and directed the engraviug of ail the govern- ment securities, with a brief interregnum, since the bureau of engraving and printing was organized. eS No Milttary Interference.

The condait, waich 1s laid midway between the rails, 1s sixteen inches | deep and seventeen inches wide. Inside of the conduit is « loose wire sapported on insuinted fastenings. This wire is cut in about 200- foot lengths, a section. © esch length constituting ‘The wire in the conduit carries no ‘urrent except when the ear is moving, and the ‘escape "is therevy confined to tunt section over which the ear is moving. A cable of cop- per wire stranded, about one-half inch in di- ameter, insulated, is inid parailel ‘with the tracks,’ but outside of them, and the ware in the conduit is fed from it. HOW THE CURRENT 18 OBTAINED. The two ends of the sections approach each other to within five inches, and are then sep- | arated by a block of alate, which is fitted in a | slot and makes 8 continuous coupling between the ends of the wires. ‘The object of inserti the slate ix to give a footing to the trolley an preven: its jamming on the ends of the wires im passing over them. The ends of these sec- | tions are fastened to the insalated hoods, the hoods being made strong enough te curry any Pressure required from the weightof the trolley | and the line. The brackets upon which the | hoods are screwed or fastened to the side of | | the conduit, The feeders which extend from | the sections are passed under the rail aud into | switch box, It 18 into these feeders the current is passed when the armature in the switch box ia drawn up and connecting a “feeder” from | the trolley wire to a “feeder” from the cable, the cable passing under the switch box. When the current passes from the main cabie into the trolley wire it passes through carbon contact | Points on the ends of the ermature and by this Means prevents sticking of the contact points. | THE CURRENT STOPS WITH THE caR. When the car stops the current disappears instantly from the wire in the conduit, from | the fact that the armature in the ewitch box is | held up by the main line current after it en- | | ters the motors, and on opening the rheostat, | which stops the car, tho main line current is cut and the armature instantly falls. The sec- tion is thus automaticaly cut ont. At each section an i:on switch-box is placed in the ground, containing an eleciro-magnet. On the car are cazried several cella of a storage battery and when the car enters a section the battery vitalizes the magnet at the switchbox and lifts an iron armature faced with carbons. | These carbon points connect the cable to the | | line in the conduit, from which the current is carried to the motor cn the car. On its way to | the motor the main-line current cuts out the local battery on the car,so that when this battery has performed its function of switching the enrrent from the cable to the trolley wire in the conduit, its circuit is broken, the strength | of the battery conserved and its'use instantly dispensed with until reaching the next sec- | tion. On reaching the next section the eu rent is again automatically switched from th main cable to the trolley wire in the conduit. | When the switch is closed the main line cur-| rent holds up the armature in the switch box | and gives a powerful contact between {the main line and the trolley line; and this couiact ean in no way be broken while the car 18 moving unless the rheostat be thrown of. When the car stops the current is instantly | released from the trolley wire in the conduit, and when the car is running down hill or | “drifting” there is no current anywhere in the conduit wire over which the car is passing. ‘The car can be reversed at any time by turn- | ing @ reversing switch, thus sending the cur- | rent through the motor from the opposite | termina! of the gonerator and causing the | armature to revoive in the opposite direction. | The car can then travel in the reversed direc- tion as rapidly as desired. THE UNDERGROUND TROLLEY, ‘The trolley used on the car is supported from two steel beams on the bottom of the car and iv given a lateral and a perpendicular pisy The lateral play ix given for its passage [around curves, and the perpendicular play allows the wheela to adjust themselves on the wire by being forced down constantly by » | spring on the top of the guide. The car- rent enters the motor through two wheels and pastes along a metalic bar connect- ing them together. From the bar the current passes to the line, thence through the center of the traveling ~nide, comirg out at the top of the trolley and thence to the motor. The frame of the trolley is made of steel aud is in- | | sulated from the trolley wheels, The trolley shaft 1s about half an inch thick, which allows | it to fit comfortably in. the slot in the conduit. In this way it is difficult for the wheels to leave | the wire and a continuous contact from the wheels to the wire in the conduit is given. ‘The car used in this system differs in no ma- terial sense from the electric car in general use. | Each car is equipped with two 20-borse-power power motors, vantages of this system are that cars can be supported with a current many miles from the generator, and, excluding the resistance of the wire, will move with as much power at the end of the line os they would in close proximity to the generators, As the car moves from one section to another | the current is cut into the motor instantane- | ously at each section and the speed of the car as | well as its pulling capacity is not in the least interrupted. There is no wax by which any section of wire in the conduit can be charged with the current until the car rans on the sec- tion and the line in the. condult is consequently harmless. ‘The current, while the car is run- ning, is discharged through the rail as in any other electric railway system, and the rail is of course harmless at all times, THE COST OF COXSTRUCTION. The conduit system has been constructed by Pepper & Register of Philadelphia, under de- signs by Mr, William Chapman, an English en- ineer. The system is the production of Mr. ione Wheless of Tennessee, who is of the opinion that it can be constructed jle track: Has cost of about $30,000 a mile. ame » i | Good Templars in Minnehaha Lodge rcom, | Geo.

George Hill is about to dispose of High Island in the Potomac and that the property | will be used as the site of the proposed hosp tal for contegious diseases. High Island is situated on the north side of the Potomac river about four miles west of the Chain bridge and contains sixty-nine acres, eighteen of which are high above the river and form a rocky | plateau. Georgetown is already manifesting opporition to the project and promites to. wage a livelier war than Anacostia is doing. Should the rumor prove true there will be a very active fight against it, The citizens of George town say that ev tient-eiect of the pest house will have to be hauled throagh the town to the injury of the heaith of the piace. 4 TEXLEYTOWS BUILDING BOOM. There is a healthy building boom at Tenley- | town, a boom that bids fair to cause a number | of the desirable sites in that thriving suburb to be adorned by a cozy residence. mong those who are now putting up dwell- ings costing all the way from $500 to $1,200 are Messrs. J. D. Schofield, W. H. Coon, A. S, Mautersbaugh, FE. McCobb, J.” McLaughlin, Shoemaker, Lainhart, and Mesdames Burbaker and Speanburg. Mr. McLaughlin is erecting a row of eight. In addition to the building. new subdivisions are being laid out, among which is one at the junetion of Wisconsin avenue and the Brook- Ville road, owned by Mr. A. J. Riley. THE POLICE DON'T LIKE IT. There was a rumor yesterday in the neigh- borhood of the market house that there would be acocking main between Maryland and Vir- ia birds to be held at a famons resort on the Conduit road. A good-sized crowd of sports with a contingent from down town were gath- ered in groups around Georgetown. Owing to the failure of one of the parti to the fight to show up, _ th main was declared off, A main is promised for tomorrow night, but it is being kept extremely quiet, beenuse the police are known to have « jecided distaste for the sport. Sergeant Hess, who is acting lieutenant of the seventh precinet during the iliness of Lieutenant Swindells, was on the jump last evening and so was Otticer Upper- mann. They were exceedingly active and it is more than probable that the main would not be held in the District. Itis said that one of the primary reasons why the main did not ma- | teriaiize as per program is that the guardians of the peace were too vigilant. DEATH OF MRE, SWEENY. Mrs. Mary S.
