ELECTRICITY ON CANALS,
A Virginian's New System Successfally Tested in
Kew York.
After several more or less successful pri”
vate tests, the new system of operating canal
boats by electrical power was publicly dem-
onstrated st Tonawanda, New York, to
feasible and progressive, The system is the
invention of Richard Lamb, a native of Nor
folk, Va., and the designer of the Corliss en-
gine made world-famous at the Centennial
Exposition in Philadelphia. It is an electric
cable way, and was first used in hauling logs
out of North Carolina swamps. The experi.
mental posts, cables and brackfts were pul
up along the line of the Erie canal under the
superintendence of Mr, Lamb and Mr. Frank
Whale, the promoter of the enterprise, The
power used was generated at the falls by the
Niagara Falls Power Company, and waa cone
veyed by wire. Thun the waters of the great
lakes furnished both the medium and the
motive power for transshipment.
The test was made in the presence of hun
dreds of spectators, chief among whom ware
ex-Governor Flower, ex-Lieytenant-Govern-
or Shoshan, Lieut.-Gov, Charles T. Saxton,
other legislators, canal officials, electricians
and capitalists,
Everything moved lke clockwork and
there was not a hiteh to mar the event. A
gpead of four or five miles an hour was de-
veloped, The first part of the test consisted
in drawing two boats loaded with sand down
the canal toward Buffalo. Afterward five
light boats were attached and drawn baok to
the starting point as oasily as the two,
At the conclusion of the test ex-Governor
Flower made a speech and several letters
