The sea lion, reported to have appeared in the Pctomac between the navy yard and Pennsylvania avenue bridges some days ago, is said to be still prowling around in the neighborhood of Anacostia. Two Wash- ingtonians said Saturday that they had Seen the animal while fishing that day off Buzzard’s Point.

It is probable that when cool weather arrives some effort will be made to bring the remains to Dana's former heme; but it Is not likely that Rev. Mr. Davenport will be able to go to Glas- gow for the body. John Isaacs, a resident of Benning, hurt one his hands very severely while at work turday. ‘There is anxiety on the part of some Property owners in Hillsdale, who fear lest it may be found when the proper lines of the streets and avenues are prescribed by the District Commissioners, that their houses are built on land which does not belong to them. It is said that colored peo- ple have purchased ground and built homes thereon without having a survey of the premises made, simply taking the word of the seller as to the correct metes and bounds. In some cases, it is thought, errors have been made, and unless arbitration shall be successfully resorted to, vexatious Taw suits in the future may result. Mr. Robert L. Waring, chairman of the committee appointed to wait on the District Commissioners and see if lamps could not be procured for the lighting up of the dark ways around Hilisdale, has received a let- ter from Secretary Tindall, stating that there is no money in the hands of the Coin- missioners that can be made available for the purpose. Rev. Mr. Leech, who is acting as pastor of the Anacostia Methodist Episcopal Church during the absence of Rev. Mr. Mc- Laren, officiated at both services yesterday. William Willett of Congress Heights was arrested last night by Officer Marr on com- plaint of Philip Martin, the stepfather of ‘Willett, who said that the latter had threatened to assault him. Willett was re- leased after depositing $10 as collateral. Several days ago The Star published the fact that Night Watchman William Web- ster hed on several occasions previously seen a viclous-lcoking colored man prowl- ing around on the Douglass estate. Since then the same fellow has been seen by Mrs. Kenner and Mrs. Hupper, who reside on Washington street. George Smallwood, a colored man, who lives near Fort Stan- ton, last night reported to Sergeant Ander- son, in charge of the Anacostia substation, that he also had seen a skulker, who he believes ts the same man as observed by the others mentioned, and that upon his refusal to give an account of himself, Smallwood said he fired from a shotgun at bim. The negro, it is alleged, returned the fire with a revolver, but no harm was done. ——._—_ HYATTSVILLE. A number of Royal Arch Masons from this place, under the escort of Sir Knight Harry B.

The death, at his home on Hickory ave- nue, Saturday at 8:30 p.m., of Mr. Edwin H. Booth was a great shock to the com- munity, where Mr. Booth and his family have many warm triends. Convalescing rapidly from an attack of illness, which had lasted about a fortnight, and antici- pating entirs recovery at an early day, the attack of heart failure which caused his death has caused unusual sadness. Mrs. Booth is almost prestrated with grief. The deceased leaves a young daughter of seven years, and a son and daughter, twins, of one year. The funeral will not take piace until the arrival of members of the family from New Orleans, the life-long home of both Mr. and Mrs. Booth.

Dr. J. H. Dulaney and Rev. C. P. Smith ‘Town Hall, , of Mr. Angus Lamond. The members of the orders began to assemble at about 4 o'clock. The lawns were made festive; swings, a dancing pavilion and an excellent band, which rendered music for the dancers. Under the trees were set three long tables covered with all the dainties of the season. Flags and paper napkins of the Eastern Star's colors—blue, yellow, white, green, red—gaily decorated the trees and tables. The committee in charge of the arrangements consisted of Mr. J. F.

The little Misses Edna Kingsman and Heulah Smith gave a tine exhibition ef fancy dancing, which was ap- preciated by all. The occasion was a very enjoyable one, and pronounced by all a memorable one of the history of the orders. Sunday at 2 o’olock the funeral of little Carrie Thomas took place from the resi- dence of her father, Mr. William Thomas, on Flint street. There has never been known of a larger funeral of any child around this part of the suburbs. ‘The house was crowded by half-past 2, when Rey. Dr. Shipley began his sermon. Many jJarge floral pieces were received, all of which were placed about the casket. She was buried at the Rock Creek cemetery. It will be remembered that the cause of her death was eating a vial full of chlorate ef potash tablets, Mr. and Mrs. L. P. Shoemaker, accom- panied by their son Abner and Dr. Henry perling, have gone to the mountains for a ew days.

Miss Madie White has returned from a visit to friends in Georgetown, D.C. Late Saturday evening an ‘accident oc- curred to one of the Brightwood electric cars, which delayed travel for at least three hours. It is thought that either a bolt or screw became loosened and fell be- tween the cogs, thereb: it le rs eby stopping the ——.__ IN THEIR NEW CHURC3 Rev. W. Bishop Johnson’s Congrega- tion Take Possession. Since last October the congregation of the Second baptist Church (colored) has been worshiping at the O street armory. Yesterday they returned to the old site, 3d street between H and I northwest, upon which has been erected a spacious editic The building has not been entirely com- pleted, but yesterday was a day of much jubilation for the members and friends of the congregation. The congregations dur- ing the day were large ones. Special mu- sical features were introduced in connec- tion with the morning service, at which the pastor of the church, the Rev. Dr. W. Bishop Johnson, preached. His sermon cf the morning was devoted to a review of the history of the church. At the afternoon ser- vice the sacrament of the Lord's supper was administered. The members of the church told their Christian experiences and afterward “broke bread” together, In the evening a colored divine from Florida delivered the sermon. The reonening was a success from a financial standpoint, as the members and friends of the church contributed liberally to the fund to carry the work on the new edifice to completion. The Sccond Baptist Church is one of the oldest church organizations among the col- ored people of the District of Columbia. Nearly half a century ago the church was founded. At that time the congregation was of little importance numerically, bat since that time, and especially under the regime of the present pastor, it has grown in influence and membership until it is among the largest organizations here. In 1848, some dissatisfaction having arisen in the congregation of the First Bapzist Church, which was then located on Ji and K Streets, a part of the congresatio1 withdrew and organized the Second Bap- tist Church, The church has had many changes in its pastorate since its organ tion. The frst pastor was Kev. H. H. Bu ler, who, atter serving one year, was suc- ceeded by the Rev. Jeremiah Asher. ‘he church was then located on Capitol Hill, but every new paster of the church wanted a new location until in 1856, when the church was finally located on 3d street be- tween H and I-the present location. Since its location upon this ground Revs. Gus- tava Brown, Jeremiah Butler, Sandy Ale: ander, Caleb Woodgard, Chauncey Leon- ard, John Gaines and Madison Gaskins have presided over the flock until 18St, when the Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, the present pastor, assumed charge. Under his* ministration the membership of the church has increased’ in numbers from 100 to 1,200. All of the earlier members of the congre- gation have been called from their labor to their reward, and the present congrega- tion is composed mostly of young people. In fact, it is known as the Young People’s Ghurch, The aim of the present pastor kas been to surround himself with aggressive young Christian people. The New Building. The new church edifice is to be complete in all of its appoirtments. The building fronts fifty-seven feet on 3d street and has a depth of ninety feet. The first floor is on a level with the street and is devoted in main to the Sunday school and infant de- partment, which can be thrown together by sliding screens. The baptistry is also lo- cated in the Sunday school room. All the conveniences of a modern church, such as parlors, kitchen and library, occupy the remainder of the floor. The main audi- torilum is on the second floor and has a seating capacity of 2,000. There is a gal- lery across the rear of the church. A large pipe organ occupies one side of the pulpit, with a choir room sufficient in size for the seating of thirty singers. The pulpit stands in a large semi-circular archway, the back of which will be filled with a large cathe- dral glass window. The ceiling of the room is an ornamental feature, the trusses of the roof showing partly through, with the pan- els filled with wood tracery. The entire front of the building and sides of the towers are of white Indiana I!me- stone, with the roof covered with Spanish tiles. Each tower has an entrance through jt, and both are covered with gabled porches, supported by richly carved col- umns. In the center of the front a beauti- ful feature is formed by a large bay, with pinnacles on each side and ending in a gable at the top. A large cathedral glass window occupies the front of the bay, with a tracery rose window. The south tower is carried up to the height of 112 feet, with an open belfry of stone in the top and pinnacles on each corner. The building is heated with steam and thoroughly equipped with modern appliances. The church was designed by Mr. Appleton P. Clark and Nicholas Eckhart is under contract to carry it to completion for $50,000. The money which has been secured thus far for the work on the church has been raised through the efforts of a financial committee of the building committee. This committee has interested the women of the church in the erection of the new building, and they have given entertainments, se- cured lecturers and devised other means for the raising of funds. Associated with Rev. Mr. Johnson on the financial com- mittee are Messrs. James F. Bundy, Lewis Collins, A. F. Hicks, Wilson Smith, Geo. E. Brown, Peter Wilkins, Wesley Brown, Abraham Rawles, Scott Luckett, Johnson Carey, Matthew Brown, James Gaskins, Noble Ware, Stewart Minor, J. F. Davis, Austin Fickley, J. T. C. Newsome, Austin Robinson, John Mart, Ludwell Parker, Rob- ert Scott, William M. Reeves, Spencer Nor- ris, William H. Young, Aaron Curley and James Hester. —.— Japan After New Ships. Japan may be preparing for another war. The little island empire wants twenty new warships, and tomorrow Irving M. Scott will sail from San Francisco for Japan to secure the contracts for building some of the war vessels. San Francisco is the near- est point to Japan where the ships can be built, and as the Union Iron Works have a reputation for building first-class ships, Mr. Scott expects to return with enough contracts to keep his company busy for scme time. The result of the,regent trial of the Co- lumbla while crossigg the Atlantic has gladdened the hearts’of all true Ameri- cans. But it is attended by a great dan- ger, one into which this country fell some thirty years age, and from the evil effects of which it is not yet certain that she is emerging even now. It is the spirit of self- confidence, apt to claim that as one of our men-of-war of a certain class has outstripped all others ‘in the world in one test of speed and endurance, therefore, we need to build no more Columbias nor take due precautions in coast defenses and oth- erwise, whereby our few ships would find shelter for repairs and other purposes. When it was known that we were about to try a couple of tyiple-screw “‘pirates,”” capable of overhauling almost every mer- chantman, European’ naval censtructors did not remain idle; several keels were laid down in several countries, intended for vessels which should: slightly excel ours, and so act either directly against them, or indirectly as consorts to merchant fleets. If we rest on our laurels, our commerce destroyers will be outnumbered and out- powered in foreign navies, and especially in that of our hereditary enemy, and we will lose our present advantage after hav- ing taught fore!gners a new lesson in naval warfare. Let us glance at what has occurred be- fore. Toward the end of the war of the rebellion four principal and some twenty- five minor confederate “pirates” had work- ed such injury to our commerce and ad- ministered such wounds to our pride that it was resolved to build a few ships of the Wampanoag class, in which almost everything was to be sacrificed to speed. The war ended before the vessels were completed, but two of them were so far advanced that they were finished and tried. No men-of-war up to that time had made such speed as they did, in fact, though the oiliciul attestation of-the fig- ures in the log book could not be gainsaid on this side by the soreheads and prophets of failure (one survivor of whom, by the way, is now creaking about the Columbia not béing “in it” in the matter of speed). yet technical journals in England aftirmeé that the speed was impossible; the admi- ralty, however, while denying the per- formance of the Wampanoag for twenty- four hours, built a couple of ships which made decidedly less speed at the measured mile, whereunoi at least one engineering journal calmly said: ‘Therefore our ships e a knot faster than the American.” We, having beaten the world of that day, | dropped further effort, and in a few years, our wooden hulls having doubled up, we had no navy that any white power needed to,respect. Shall we,repeat that neglect, especially in the teeth of the fact that the British navy is beingicontinually added to and improved in every point, and notably in speed, and that-they will not remain beaten in the class of swift protected cruis- ers? We must continue to build new ships, end we must slightlyimprove the speed of our new Columbias;; + The great American chronic naval growler, upon whose:gnc‘ent criticisms we have touched, has arisen cnce more, and 7s reported in 8 New-York paper as stating that the Columbia.,is not the “very best type for the money;” the point, however, is that we need several types, and she is the best of her type jm:.the world. He also stated that she “only used six boilers and two screws. If she had set the triple screw at work it would simply have dragged:” but Capt. Sumner told, an Associated Press reporter that “Theeight main boilers and three main engines were used,” and cer- tainly if not there was disobedience .of the orders of the department, and the ship had about one-third of its power in reserve. Again, “Her ordinary: (coal) capacity is 1,700 tons, but for this record voyage 325 extra tons were” (taken.) Does he credit the machinery with driving a ship deepen- ed by about one twenty-fifth of her dis- placement? Of course not, and the cap- tain’s official report gives the total quan- tity on hand at starting as 1,861'4 tons, while she brought into port 328 tons. As to the difficulty experienced toward the end of the voyage in getting the coal out of the bunkers, so far from that being a peculiarity of the Columbia, it is a defect inherent in every vessel with compart- ments, .water-tight bulkheads and doors. “A man-of-war is a bundle of compro- mises,” and naval constructors have so far concluded that this drewback must be berne for the sake of approaching the great advantage of unsinkability. The growler had already intimated that the Columbia would not be able to keep up any extraordinary speed all the way across the Atlantic; ne row says: “Her speed * * * shows that she is not in it with” —five merchantmen he mentions. Let it be granted that the swiftest of them once made the trip in eighteen hours’ less time, though the cruiser lost several hours in slowing for heavy weather and in rot using forced draught; then, at the Co- Iumbia’s rate of 18.11 knots, the difference was 331 knots, spread over about seven days, giving, say, 47.34 knots per day, cr a trifle less than two knots per hour—that is, if the vessels had started together, the swiftest liner would have been within rarge of the Columbia's guns for five hours, theo- retically (onger with forced draught); the Augusta Victoria would have been theoreti- cally under fire a whole day, and practical- ly both would have been gunk in the first quarter of an hour, for the shot from the Columbia's forward guns would have heen “in it” if she herself was not. Of course, if the critic puts the merchantman out of range at the start, it must be contessed that he might as well put her out of sight and in the Indian ocean, which would be begging the question. But there is another point: If in our first attempt the Columbia can catch any merchantman in the world except five purely passenger steamers and not traders, has she not a right to the title of “commerce destroyer?” And if those of the five which are British were employed to carry food in time of war, would they save London alone from being starved cut? We are tcld that “the armament of the Co- lumbia is nct what it ought to be;” but, as the soldier said, “You can’t expect all the cardinal virtues for $13 a month,’ and the French “pirates” are to carry an armament still lighter. The critle continues: “As a cruiser the New York could blow her out of the water. * ® * She carries her coal better and more of it.’ As the only com- parable performance of the two vessels was at the measured course trials, on which the New York made‘1.91 knots less than the Columbia, would It be:too bold a suggestion that the New York—an excellent ship of her class—would first have to “catch her hare?” Moreover, ‘would it be displaying too inquisitive a natvse to ask if 1,280 (the New York's bunker!capacity) is really and truly “more of it” than 1,700? But after all growlers and Jubilants only differ about details;both are well wishers of the country, and all are agreed that we should continue toxbuild ships, determined that they shall sometthat mare than catch up the required twai knots per hour of margin, or, by ineveased complement of men, equal in number:to those provided by the contractors, herékablel to sustain the speed made on the‘trial trips. One of the most important questions before patrictic men in the next @onsress will be: “How many big sisters shall the Columbia have each year?” von McK. — —__ THE FIGHT FN PENNSYLVANIA. Quay Wins the Delegates in a Ha: ings Stronghold. 4 Senator Quay Saturday in the fight for delegates to the state convention to be held in Harrisburg on August 28, elected fifteen, and pcssibly seventeen delegates, out of a total of twenty-four, which repre- sents the five counties in which primaries were held in Schuylkill. Primaries were held in Juniata, Adams, Perry, York and Montgomery counties. ‘The greatest surprise of the day was the defeat of the administration forces in Montgomery county. The Hastings fac- tion had been working Ile beavers In this county, and confidently expected to se- cure at least five of the seven delegates to the state convention. Now they concede the defeat of their delegates, and admit that Quay will have from thirty to fifty majority in the county convention, which will insure him all of the delegates. phony Orchestra—Uncertainty as to the Georgetown Organization. The discussion of a music hall which bas been brought about in connection with the Proposed new building for the ¥. M. C. A. has served one good purpose. It has ‘m- Dressed the people of Washington with the reed of such a hall, and prominent mu- Siclans outside of Washington, but who come here during the concert season, have become interested in the subject, and are willing to add their testimony to the ab- solute necessity of.a music hall in the na- tioral capital which shall be sufficiently large to permit the successful presentation of oratorio or other great choral works. It should be built with especial reference to correct acoustic properties, and be equipped with a full organ that could be used for accompaniment or solo purposes, and with a stage big enough to accommo- date a chorus of 400. Walter Damrosch is one of those who recognize the urgent need of such a hall, and Mr. Chas. A. Enis, who will have charge of Mme. Melba’s tour, said that he wished Washington could have such @ hall. There seoms to be no immediate pros- pect of securing a building of the descrip- tion desired, but the discussion of its neces- sity is a good thing. The organization that suffers most from the lack of an adeqnate music hall is the Choral Society. This body has given oratorio for twelve seasons and it hae always been at a disadvantage. It was hoped that Convention Hall would be available for oratorio, but ‘the experience last winter convinced the board of directors that it would not be advisable to again go there in cold weather. The program for the coming season has not yet been arrang- ed, but it will include “The Messiah,” of course, and also Saint Saens’ “Samson and Delilah," which it was not able to give last spring, owing to the impossibility of securing a competent orchestra. This difficulty will probably now be over- come in a way that will prove gratifying rot only to the Choral Society. but to the general Washington public. Mention has already been made of the efforts of Mr. Herman Rakemann to form a symphony orchestra of local musicians, and it is be- lieved that he will succeed. He has con- sulted with the best musicians and is satis- fied that he can secure an orchestra of from forty to fifty picked men who will compare favorably with any similar num- ber in any city. Mr. Rakemann believes that this orchestra will not only be able to satisfactorily do all the work required by the Choral Society, but that it can give symphony concerts on its own account, which will commend themselves to the mu- sic-loving people. Such an enterprise as has been undertaken by Mr. Rakemann should receive prompt and hearty support. if Washington can have a symphony or- chestra of its own the efforts of such a body should be encouraged and aided in the most substantial :nanner. No organiza- tion of such a character can live unless it receives outside assistance, beyond the patronage of its concerts, in the early days of its history. The man who founded the Boston Sym- phony Orchestra, the best body of musi- cians of its size in the world, spent $250,- 000 before the enterprise became self-sup- porting. There is no man in Washington, unfortunately, who would put out that much money, or any considerable portion of it, to start a symphony orchestra here, but there ought to be a hundred who would subscribe five or ten dollars each to secure = an enterprise against loss at the out- set. While upon this subject, it may he stated that it is very uncertain whether the Georgetown Orchestra will be able to come together for work next season. It is to be hoped that some means may he found to ccntinue the life of an organization that has had a most creditable career for four- teen years. It has been an educator of the public in orchestral music, and it would be a sad commentary upon the musical culture of Washington if it should be al- lowed to die for lack of proper support. Some of its officers are men of means, and could easily bring it out of its present dif- ficulties. Some of the members have been with the orchestra from the very com- mencement, and have worked faithfully in its interest. They would feel keenly its disbandment now. It is believed that the next season will be brighter in every respect than was the last, end it is hoped that when the time for the assembling of -ne Georgetown Or- chestra for its winter work arrives, some satisfactory arrangements for its continu- ance may be made. Mrs. Thomas C. Noyes will sing in Rich- mond tonight under the auspices of the Mozart Association. One of her selec- tions will be the cavatina from “Ernani,” in which she has been heard with so much pleasure here. Mrs. H. H. Mills and Miss Lotta Mills are spending the moath of August at Water Mills, L. I. Mr. Fred. Lillebridge left Thursday for Ripon, Wis., where he will assume charge of the musical department of the Female College at that place. At a_ recent musical fete at Congress Hall, Cape May, Miss Blanche Wood of this city sang several solos, and also a dvet with Mr. Woodcock. She was splen- didly recelyed by the audience,and was also warmly complimented by M. Guille, the popular tenor, who participated in the pro- ‘am. att is understood that Paderewski will be here early in December, and will be heard in at least one recital and perhaps two. The great Polish pianist is sald to be in splendid form now, and his playing will undoubtedly create as much enthusiasm as when he was last heard in Washington. Mme. Melba and her concert company will be heard in this city next season at the Grand Opera House. The Boston Symphony Orchestra will be- gin its series of concerts in this city about the middle of November. Mr. Willie Green, the son of Mr. Bernard Green, the superintendent of the construc- tion of the new Congressional Library building, has gone to Germany to complete his study of the violin. He has made great progress here, under the instruction of Prof. Herman Rakemann, and now goes abroad to avail himself of the great mas- ters in Berlin. Mr. Lee Crandall will prob- ably go abroad next month. —.—_— NEWARK’S BIG FIRE. Central Stamping Company’s Plant Destroyed. The fiercest fire the department of New- ark, N. J., has had to contend with in many years, with the possible exception of the big grain fire at the Ballentine brew- ery a couple of months ago, broke out in the plant of the Central Stamping Com- pany yesterday afternoon. The front of the Central Stamping Company’s plant was on New Jersey Railroad avenue, and cov- ered ten city lots on that street. From this branched another building, five stories high and seventy-five feet wide, rurning through the block to Liberty street. From this building there was a wing of the same size, extending from the middle of the block through to East Fair street. On the south side of the main building on the avenue were five three- story brick buildings, and on the north was a new two-story brick structure. All these were destroyed. The loss to the Central Stamping Company was estimated by State Senator Ketcham, treasurer of the company, at upward of half a million dol- lars, insurance, $250,000. The other losses will aggregate $30,000. ——__—_ +e+- —__ A Suspected Official’s Suicide. George W.

Chancellor, United States consul at Havre, France, says, in a recent report to the State Department regarding horseless carriages in France, that the “time seems approaching when automatic road car- riages, propelled by steam, electricity, or petroleum, will come into general use and take away from the patient ‘horse the worst part of his daily toil. The odds, at present, seem to be rather in favor of petroleum. “A most interesting competition has re- cently taken place in France between veried specimens of motor carriages. The course prescribed was from Paris to Bor- deaux—a distance of 358 miles—and_ back again, any vehicle to stand disqualified if {ct consumed more than one hundred hours on the road. The big prize of the day— 40,000 francs ($7,720)—was for four-seated carriages, which was wen by Les Fils de Fengeot freres, while Messrs. Panhard & Levasson secured second place with a two- Beated carriage, making the round trip in twenty-four hours and fifty-three minutes. Speed of Fifteen Miles an Hour. “The winning conveyances were propetied by gasoline, and the rate of speed was about fifteen miles an hour, which is re- gerded as an extremely creditable per- formance, the long lines of hills being taken into account. These hills appear to have proved too much for the carriages propelled by electricity, of which only one got through, the others having abandoned the contest. One of the steam carriages was brought to a standstill at Versailles early in the race, owing to an accident, and the others lost time by frequent stop- pages of five and ten minutes, made for the p-rpose of taking in coal and water. The electrical conveyances had also to stop, from time to time, to renew their dy- namic charges, but the petroleum machines carried enough force for a twenty-four hours’ run, and on the return journey the run was made without a single stop. In comparing the merits of the different pro- pelling agents, the palm must,-so far, be awarded to petroleum, which is clean, and can be easily carried. The ordinary feeder used for short distances contains less than four quarts of oil, which will last over a journey of twenty miles, or two and one- half hours. For long distances, a recepta- cle capable of holding enough petroleum for a run of at least twenty or twenty-four hours is provided. Petroleuam-Propelled Bicycles. “We hear also of bicycles propelled by Fetroleum, in which great interest has been exhibited, and half a dozen of such machines started in the race to Bordeaux, one, at least, holding its own among the larger vehicles. It is believed that light petroleum bicycles, tricycles, and even four-wheelers, will soon come into general vse, which will tend to relieve lady cy- clists from the necessity of wearing short skirts. Altogether, it seems that petroleum is destined to become the popular agent for solving the problem of traffic and con- veyances without horses in the streets of great cities and on smooth country roads.” England's Wail. In commenting on the success of the horseless vekicles propelled by petroleum, in the race between Paris and Bordeaux, a Icading English journal says: Why is it that we are so slow in this country to take up improvements of such immense. social importance? Ours is the land of machines and machinery, of skill- ed inventors and colossai enterprises, yet in many respects England lags behind the whole civilized world in availing herself of the discoveries of science. There is not a8 much use made in the whole of Lon- don of the telephone as in one single quar- ter of Washington city, and there are Frairle towns in the west of the United States more magnificently lighted by elec- tricity than the best streets of London. Electric tram cars and tram cables may be seen in many and many a city abroad, while here they are still novelties. Years ago, the tourist might have watched a de- tached electric or petroleum phaeton quick- ly threading the thickest crowd of car- riages in the Place de I’Opera, at Paris; and now we have Frenchmen again, in- stead of the countrymen of Watt and of Stephenson, acting as pioneers to the new age, which will certainly effect the deliv- erance of great cities from horse traffic, and of the horses themselves from a cruel and destructive use of their strength.
