Electric Railway: Engineers’and Builders’T development of electrical ways during the past year has been re While enginec markable fc some surprising s of electrieal ing in over- coming diflicuities have rked the prog of this mode of street-car pro- pulsion, much has been done in con- struction of lines where building and operation h been surrounded by ruther favorable result has b place eteewriet parently whead of horsc-power in chonpness of operation and next to it in cost of equipment. Theso faots have produced o widespread demand for a better and cleaner mode of transpor ton t by horse-power, and several motor companies have during the past fow months largely profited by the re- sults of their investments of time and ingenuity. The problems of motor constraction may be swd to be solved. The opera- tion of the Sprague motors at Rich- mond, Va., has, o numerous failures been at ssful, and seems to far The eircumstanc 1 to suec Burpass the sa ine expectations of the builde This is equally true of other prominent rvailvoad motors. All nppear to stand infinitely more abuse und rough treatment than a few years ngo, even a few months ago, would been considered suflicient to comple destroy any picce of electr ra- tus. In this particular year marks an era of wonderful pro- gress in electrical construction. Central stations for eneruting light for power have reached uiso such a degree of perfection and cheapness that they no longer offer en- gincering difficultios of importance. In all these respects the general of all tne commenrt and their weakest points ave the devices to get the current to the motor from the source of power. The best w to |ln this is doubt! to use storage hatte nk ach car com- ‘.!u 1 itself .nu] independent of th ocation of the power station. This has been tried experimentally a number of times, but the great weight of the but- teries, the trouble required to handle ihiem, and the necessity of skilled labor to manipulate them is a difficulty that delays their introduction. In addition their great cost and somewhat uncer- tain life has doubtless hinder the extensive introduction. 1f sufficient ttery power be supplied any desirable rate of speed can be obtained with no unsightly obstruction of the sircets by poles and wires. For this reason the use of stornge bawteries will be preferred by the public The Julien cox a few cars in N pany is now running York oun Fourth ave- nue, and t to have more in operation. The e of operation is at present oo smakl-to predict much as 1o cost. Iixpcriments of a similar na- ture have been made in Philadelphia, Rochester and Baltimore, and as some of the best talent in the country is en- ) endenvoring to improve the and decrease its weight, we may before long hear of its introduc- tion to street car work on a much larger scale. The underground or conduit system of supplying current to the motor will meet with less objection from the gen- eral public than the overh supply and with the exception of the battery system, is the only one that can be con- sidered practicable for large cities. The excavation of streets in construction is 8 very smull matter in the estimation of a public unfamiliar with electrical matters, compared with tion and maintenance of a pole line of bare wire and the possible dangers therefrom. The Bently-Knight company is now engaged in laying three miles of con- duits and conductors iu Boston for the ‘West Lnd Street vailway company, and, with the Sprague and Thomson- Hous- ton companies, is to furnish motor cars. The former company is to furnish each car with the necessary connections for the conduit section of the line. The latter company furnishes cars for use with elevated conductors only. The conduit consists of an clliptical cast- iron box strengthened at intervals with a heavy T-rib on the outside. The ouly opening excopt for drainnge is on top, nearly level with the street, and is partly covered with steel plates which form the edges of the siit. The con- 1uctors are supported on poreelain in- sulators ut the sides of the couduit, The whole subway is set ina bed of con- crote. ALl parts are ssible with- out digging or The conduit disturbing the street. 1id in Boston differs from the general construction in that it is laid herween the two tracks instead of between the rails of each track. This plun wus adopted in orvder that the reavy teaflic on the present tracks whouid not be interrupted. The long- deferred construction of the North and Fast River railway compuny’s line on Fulton street, New York, has been begun by the Bentley-Knight company, nnd will be quite similae to the work in Boston. Both of these lines will have n practical experience this winter. The difficultics in the way of making such subways weather-proof and not Liable to injury from heavy trucks are Berio) In view of the experience of clectrical companies in endeavoring to insulate their wires in hot, moist earth Gilled with escaping steam from under- ground pines, the insulation of the con- ductors in tne Fulton street conduit will be watched with interest, The question of providing drainage is one of vital importance, and particularly difficult considering the amount of wet snow ang water likely to enter the conduit d linble any moment to freeze. The orvnings and cat-basing connected with e sewers may also at any time admit fumes, the action of which on the con- ductors cannot at present be foreseen. Twelve months ago the Van Depeole e v Bt L Ty e e ball a dozen roads in operation, and the Sprague company none. At present the Sprague company has about thirty ronds to its eredit, and the Thomson- Houston, formerly the Van De- g-ou company about the same. Daft company has about a dozen. These roads are overated almost 1n- variably by an overhead method, and each has a peculiar advantage. The Bprague company uses one wire over- head and one of \lw rails as the return conductor. Th course, simpl the conau'ut,l\uu has a disady age in case of u bad contmct betw oar wheels and the track.

In- stead of placing a conductor above the street heavy enough to carry current for the entire line, a_very small wire is used, which is fed at short intervals from a heavy wire carried on poles on the sidewalk. The advantage and cons venience of this ladc like construc- tion is obvious. The hard drawn bronze wire which is used over the street is so small |-h| be inconspicuous, and being of rre; r tenacity than copper, is not as diMcut to support. This reduces the street disfigurement and prevents @ complete stoppage of the line by a break in the conductor.

This system is not liable to trouble from poor contact as in the return-rail method, but has many more complications overhead, as the two wires must be secured and insulated a srtain distance from each other to pre- vent the trolley from catching or run- ning off the track. The four methods of street-car pro- pulsion, described to illustrate the gen- principles involved, are used in ghtly different forms by several com- panies beside those mentioned, and ave 1o be found on difforent roads in various parts of the courtry.

A QUEER OLD IOWA CHARACTER His Bar Mottoes Were Not Inviting— He Called Water His Best Drink and Labelled Whiskey “Stomach Rot." No Decoption There. “Stormy” Jordan, of Ottumwa, Towa, whose retirement from the liquor busi- ness was announced in TiHE BER'S dis patches, was a unique character. Thero never was asaloonkeeper like him. He is well named, Poasessed of a violent temper, whenever it is crossed the sur- rounding air is instantly charged with sulphur, and «f strong language could annihilate, the person unlucky enough to stir up old “*Stormy’ would stand in danger of being wiped out of existence in shorter time than the story could be told. But his anger is always short- lived, and while he has seemed to court a reputatation for being the wickedest man in the state, those who know him best tell some things about him which 20 to show that afterall he possessos some good quulitics. CFor over a quarter of n century he has been enguged in the saloon busi- ness in Ottumwa. A score of years ago he opened his ““Road to Hell” under the Union depot. Travellers who had occasion to stop at Ottumwa have been considerably astonished to see over the stairway leading down into the base- ment in big letters—a hand pointing the w ign something like the fol- lowing “IOAD TO HEL It was the guidebonrd Jordan’s’ place of business. frankness of the proprietor did not e haust itself on the exterior. The thirs- ty person who felt like taking the risk after reading the startling warning on the outside was confronted when he came to the ith other equally unique and uninviting mottoes, sus- pended just behind the barkeeper.

He was never sociable and scemed to shun the friendship of all. Re edly the of- fort has been made to probe into his past, and all kinds of fanciful stories have been woven about tl wmge character. Some romancers have made the old man_the prey of remorse for vast misdeeds, but their theories were founded only in their own imagination. “Stormy” himself was always too taci- turn to yield up anything concerning his early life, and cit short all attempts to pump him on this point. But his eccentricities often took a dif- ferent turn from his seeming glor the fact that he dispensed the en which steels away man’s brains, as his signs and motto would indicate. Sometimes some of the young bloods of Ottumwa, engaged in painting the land- seape in crimson, would venture down the **Road to Hell.” The party would line up to the r, and the spokesman would sing out: **Here, ‘Storm, the hous ‘fne old man’s face would become flushed with anger in a moment. Siz- ing up the party, he would place upon the counter the reguisite number of glasses, h filled with water. Then l!lc explosion would come: “There!”—with a stream of profanity broader than the Des Moines rive which flowed only a few yards nway— “‘there is my best drink, and it’s the ouly kind you young snips will get here. Now drink it and git!” Cursing and fairly foaming at the mouth, old **Stormy” was such a terror- nspiring object that the bloods al fled, and never came a second time. +Stormy” hated hypocracy, as has been shown, but he was often brought face to face with it. A congressman tells a story on General Weaver which is well worth relating. Politicians fre- quented the “"Road to Hell” from its earliest hist and this congressman says that one day he was in the saloon with some friends. Weaver was then a power in Tows politics, and this con- gressman was his warm personal ad- mirer, aud in the course of the conver- sation took occasion to speak in the highest terms of the general. As a rule Jordan did not pay much attention to the conversation of his customers,but he listened for a time in silence to the prm-«uu of the wily Weaver. Finally his temperance record was exploited eaver being a rank prohibitionist in those days. Jordan couldn’t stand it any longer. Said he: “*You see that back door? temperance friend that door and gets like the rest of These ar Give us the best in We! ymes_down here by his little nip just you.” was the case,” added the congr who tells the story. But as the devil is not so black as he is painted, so it is alleged that even Stormy had some good points aside from his penchant for “'setting up” water as as his best beverage. It issaid to be a fact that he would never sell a drink 1o a confirmed drunkard or tp a workin man who he knew needed all of hln money for his family, Likeowise it is stated that the old man frequently sought out and relieved the families of men who he believed had contracted the habit of driunking to excess in his saloon. Then his charities, while un- ostentatious, are said to have been num- erous, and many @ poor person who has had his wants relieved from an un- known source can thank **Old Btormy.” Bul now he has had to give up the fight. He has battled against prohi- bition tooth and nail. Kines and jail sentences bave not dismayed him until of late. Governor Larrabee has suc- cessfully negotiated with the stubborn old saloonkeeper, and he has signed the Yludge outlined above, and Towa will 0se one of her most unlquu charactars.
