The transfer of the city posteffloe waa
made en Sunday from H. K. Slaymaker te
Ma). Ellwood Grlest, the newly appointed
postmaster, and te-day everything Is work
inn along smoothly. After the pout;
elllce had been cloned en Saturday evening
tlie work of making the transfer was com
menced, and by 11 o'clock en Sunday It
was finished. The window dollvery at
half-past eleven o'clock was made under
the new administration. Everything was
found In the best of condition. Te-day the
old force of letter-carriers and all of the
dorks are at work the same as they 'were
under Postmaster Sl(ymakcr. James II.
Marshall, the assistant te Majer Or lest, Is
the only new man that has gene te work
he far. It U very likely that the old em em
peoyes, or at least the greater part of them,
will be kept en for some woeks yet.
The only letter-carrler te reslgu se far
has been Frederick Fisher, who carried a
route through the Ninth ward under Slay
maker. The correspondent of the Phila
delphia Inquirer says that Fisher " takes
se little stock In Superintendent Bates'
letter that he has tendered his resignation
te Pest manterG Hest." This is net the case,
however. Mr. Fisher resigns te accept a
geed position at the Pennsylvania railroad
station in this city, where no will succeed
Win. M. Conyngham as night ticket agent.
lie will quit the postefllco some day lids
week and he will at once be si(ccecded by
ex-Alderman Pinkerton, who will curry
the route until he is made chief of the
letter-carriers, which will be his position
eventually.
A Present Fer Mr. Slnymaker.
A very pleasant event in connection with
the retirement of Postmaster Slaymaker
from the postefllce took place en Saturday
evening, when the clerks and carriers
made mm an appropriate present. In
the evening all the postefllco men called at
Mr. Slayinaker's store en East King street,
(luring his absonce, and with them came
Postmaster driest and Assistant James II.
Marshall. All took their places in the ex
t re me rear part of the store and the gas
was turned down. A clerk in the store
was sent for Mr. Slaymaker, who
was told that "a man wanted te
bee him at the store." He responded
very quickly, hastening te his place of bus
iness. He was surprised te soe the gas
turned down In the rcur of the stere and
asked what it meant. His surprise was
much greater when the gas was turned up
and he beheld all of his empleyes before
him. Without any further ceremony O.
E. Hcgener, who was Mr. Slaymaker'a
assistant during his term, presented idm
with a large frame in which are the single
pictures el the clerks in the postefllce as
well as the lotter carriers, while in the
middle is that of the postmaster himself.
Mr. Hegcncr made a short speech, stating
that he desired te present the gift en behalf
of himself and associates as a token of the
esteem and regard in which they held their
superior ofllcer. Mr. Slaymaker replied,
thanking all for the handsome present.
The frame in which the picture are on en
closed is of oak, Very handsome, and
in size about 45x00 inches. The pictures
were takeu by W. W. Ames, and they are
excellent ones. All the carriers appear in
full uniform, including their hats. The
present is a beautiful one, and the retiring
postmaster has geed reason te feel proud
of it. The picture will be nut en exhibition
in Kheads' jewelry store, West King street.

A LECTURK ON ORATORY.
Hen. Daniel Dougherty Entertains an
Appreciative Audience Saturday
Event ag.
Daniel Dougherty, esq., the flimeus
orator, lecturer and lawyer, of Philadel
phia and New Yerk, ai rived in Lancaster
ou Saturday from Baltimore, where he had
been? lecturing and' attending a very
brilliant aeclal reception tendered te him.
The young men of the Christian association
of Franklin and Marshall college. In whose
lyeeum course he appeared here, had the
court house about two-thirds filled with a
highly Intelligent and discriminating audi
ence by 8 p. m. The glee club sang a
bright little song and was deservedly en
cored. Mr. Ilenael then Introduced Mr.
Dougherty as one net unknown In a city
te which be had been a visitor, and
of whose peeple he had been a
friend for mere than a generation.
Mr. Dougherty's last appearance here
was In the campaign of 1878, when he de
livered a fierce phtllppte against the Cam
eren dynasty ; some time before that he
had made bis address en ' Oratory," sub
stantially as he delivered it en Saturday
evening, and the use he makes of his lec
ture forbids anything like an attempt te
reproduce it. In personal appearance and
movement, In the reseuance and thorough
command of his voice, in elegance of elo
cution and grace of action, Mr. Dougherty
has lest nothing : and his presence aud de
livery are as Impressive and forceful as
ever.
The qualities of the great orator, he
argued at the outset of his lecture, are se
manifold and his excellencies se numer
ous that they are very rarely found com
bined In one person. The English-speaking
race had produced but few orators,
and the Latin races, because of their mere
ardent temperament, a few mere. Of geed
speakers, especially In Amerlca, there are
and have been abundance ; but te per
suade the audience by the power of the
spoken words is an aim whleh' can fitly
exercise the very highest powers of human
wisdom, whose combination in one indi
vidual is rarely seldom disclosed. The
orator ought lobe learned se aste Instruct his
bearers and supply his speech with facts ;
he must be earnest and sincere te gain the
confidence of these whom he addresses;
he needs a geed voice and pronunciation ;
imagination and Ore, power of Illustration,
coelheadodness and yet ardor; a nice
sense of the proprieties and actlon.Acriex,
ACTION.
Mr. Dougherty carefully distinguished
at some length between the real " speech "
and the essay, lecture, sermon or prepared
address. Ne great speech was ever fully
written out and committed te memory;
leading ideas might be prepared, some
illustrations kept at hand and a peroration,
but the occasion and the man must make
the speech. In Illustration of the smbarass smbarass
nient attending young speakers who 'de
pend upon their prepared 'addresses Mr.
Dougherty told, partly at his own expense,
several anecdotes In which his powers of
Imitation had full play, and he brought
down the house with ene round of applause
after another.
In contrasting English with American
speakers he gave quite a number of speci
mens of the parliamentary orators of the
later day, and his perfect imitations of Jehn
Bright, Lord Beacensfleld, Mr. Gladstone,
the Earl of Derby and ethers were among
the most Interesting parts of bis lecture
In discussing the profession of the clergy
and the function of the preacher, Mr.
Dougherty gave at length his view of the
proper qualifications of theso who are te
expound the gospel of Christ. He pro
nounce! in favor of the pulpit as the best
field for the highest flights of oratori
cal genius ; and he .ran every note
in the Bcale as he' told with real
eloqueuce of the many and varying
themes upon which the effective preacher
of Christ touches. Ptiblie and political
speaking he pronounced a most useful ex
perience te train the orator, and he recited
with highly dramatic effect the orations of
Brutus and Marc Antony ever Ciesar.
He pictured In poetic strain the scenes
when O'Connel made his great orations te
tens of thousands of his waiting country-,
men. The great orators of the world had'
invariably been patriotic, true and un
purchasable. In conclusion he admitted "that oratory
had lest Its power te a large extent and that
the press had gained its influence. He
closed his locture with a beautlful passage
extolling the function of the speaker and
invoking for the public weal the boned lo
tion of an honest press.
The gloe club sang anether selection and
many of the audience found an onpertu uity
te meet and congratulate Mr. Dougherty.
He lea for Philadelphia at 2:20 a. m. In
order te spend the Sabbath with his family.
SUPPOSED CONFIDENCE MEN.
They Kent a Roem en West German
Street, and Act Susptoleusly.
At 6:30 o'clock en Saturday evening,
word was sent te Chlof Smeltz that Indica
tions pointed te the presence in the city of
a ceuple of bunce-steerers. The chlef, ac
companied by Ofllcer Weaver, went te the
place designated, a house en West German
street, but the conlldeneo men had gene,
He learned that en Saturday morning
two well drossed men called at the house
of Mrs. Win, Gelzenllchter, nn West Gor Ger
man street, about half-way between Bea
ver and Prince. They represented thein
selves as Insurance ageuts, and wanted te
rent her front room for a week or ten dayr.
They offered $1 per day for the use of the
room. Mrs. Gelzenlichter finally consented
te rent them the room, and they paid
her 91 for the rent of Saturday.
Between the room rented by the men
and a back room there was an eld-fash
loned deer with window panes. in it. This
fouture did net appear te strike the so se
called insurance men favorably. They in
sisted having paper placed evor the
glass, as they did net want te be Interfered
with while doing busluess. The paper was
placed ever the glass and the men appeared
te be satisfied.
During the afternoon Mrs. Gelzenllchter
heard tee voices or a number or men talk
ing in the room. This talk continued for
some time anil finally all was quiet. Mrs.
Gelzenlichter in passing the room noticed
that the deer was open and around the
taDle"wore four chairs, j The key te the
room was en the table and from Its being
left there she inferred that the men had
given up the room.
Chief Smeltz upon further investigation
ascertained that Airs. Smith, who lives en
German stroet, nearer Beaver than Mrs.
Gelzenlichter, saw a countrymen's team In
front of her heuse. It is an unusual place
te hitch a herse ou account of the. factory
noises Bearing horses, and that fact attracted
her attention. She concluded te watch,
and after seme time a countryman dressed
In the garb of a Monnenlto came out of
Gclzenllchter's heuse accompanied by a
young man, well dressed. Thts young
man and the old farmer aencarcd te be ou
the best of terms. The young man helped
liie eiu one into me wagon, tuey gave eacu
ether geed-bye and the old man drove etf.
Tills voting man went up German street
te Seuth Queen and there lie was Joined by
the ether young man, who was his com
panion when the room was rented.
It is net known if the old farmer was
ouch red out et money, but the supposition
Is that he was. When the information
reached Chief Smeltz that these contldence
men were In town It was tee late te de any
geed, for they evidently lea this city by
the train en Saturday afternoon.
On6 of the men is described us small and
thick set, with short black beard. He were

smooth face, and light hair and were a
light ovorceat, dark clothes and derby hat.

IMPRESSIONS OF A VISITOR.
He Notes the Progress of the This City.
He Sits at the "Crank " Table.
Capt. Alfred Sanderson, who spent a few
days of last week In this city, writes a
column for the Harrisburg Telegraph. He
was " greatly and agreeably surprised at
the Improvements In the staid but never
theless prosperous old city. On North
Queen and East King and West King
streets, the principal buslnesa thorough
fares, there have been many changes for
the lietter, and the many palatial and com
modious business places will vie with
these of the mere proteutleus metropolitan
cities.
" While the city Is keeping pace in busi
ness enterprises, it does net lese sight of
what is expected from large communities
in a charitable or benovelont sense. In
the Lancaster cotnetery thore is a tomb
which was carved by Mr. J. Aug. Beck, of
this city, dedicated te the memory of lturke
Witmer, who was shipwrecked In the
Mediterranean mera than thirty years age.
He, as well as his mother, Mrs. Ann C.
Witmer, were natives of Lancaster, and
in the will of the latter there was a bequest
made for the establishment of a home for
widows and maiden ladies. This prevision
of the will has recently been carried into
effect. The home is located In the extreme
western part of the city en the highest of
ground. The building is large and com
modious, and under the matrenshlp of
Miss Eckert Is a home Indeed as well as In
name. The inmates are like ene happy
family.
" Then near by is St. Jeseph's hospital, a
Catholle Institution, in charge of the Sisters
of Charity. It was built several years age,
and is new in the full tide of prosperity
and success. Like our own Harrisburg
hospital, the geed it does can hardly be
estimated, and It Is the boundendutyoftho
community at large te see that such insti
tutions de net languish for tbe means of
bostef all motive power financial support.
' I paid a hurried visit te the new quar
ters of the Hamilton club, which occupies
the entire elegant old Blester mansion en
North Duke street. I was a stranger in a
strange land,' but was kindly taken in and
vouched for by these genial buslness men,
Geerge N. Reynolds and Charles F. Ben
gler. The club is conducted en the same
principle pretty much as that en Walnut
street, this city. It has plenty of financial
backing, and Is one of the fayorite institu
tions of the city.
"The Yeung Men's Democratic Associa
tion of Lancaster have rocently moved
into thelr new quarters en Orange street,
near Duke. They occupy the upper iart
of a large new three-storied building, and
have fitted up their apartments in sump
tuous style. The reception room is covered
with Brussels carpet, has the best of up up up
holsterod furniture, and about tlie walls
are hung pictures of Jeffersen, Jacksen,
Buchanan, Tilden, Cleveland, Hancock.
Jeremiah S. and Chauncey F. Bleck and
the late "Sunset" Cox. The third story
Is used as a billiard room. The association
has its own orchestra of eighteen pieces,
conducted by ex-Alderman F. W. Haas,
formerly of this city, a glee club, and in
the reception room is an elegant piano.
Its president is Mr. Geerge N. Reynolds,
and Mr. Charles F. Rengler, one of the
best known of Lancaster's business men,
is ene of the vice presidents. I only men
tion this club and Its progresslveuess te
show that what has been dene in Lancaster
can just as well be done by political or
ganizations elsewhere.
"There Is a hotel directly opposite the
Pennsylvania railroad depot which Is a de
lightful place for ene te hang up his hat.
It seems te be the favorite place for
bachelors, and naturally enough for two
or three days during my stay 1 quartered
there. I was seated at the 'crank' table,
composed of such genial bachelers
as Beb Risk, of the JZramincr ;
Mortlmer Malene, a splendld speci
men of Irish manhood, standing six
feet two In his stockings, and a nephew of
the late Mlchael Malene, who was the
contemporary and associate of such men as
f limp ueugiieriy anu ancnaei uume ; wr.
Samuel If. Metzgar, one of Lancaster's
noted physicians, and. Mr. Wilkie Barr,
the youngest of the let, but who manages
te held up his part of the table In geed
style. Then at anether table sit the Rev.
Charles L. Fry, the gifted young pastor of
Old Trinity Lutheran church, and Mr.
Frank Sprecher, a popular young business
man. I doubt net seme of these gentlemen
will enter the connubial state at seme tlme
or ethor, but I have no hope for such
men as Risk, Malone and Metzgar. Like
Ephralm of old, they appear te be Jellied
te their idols, and all that can be dene will
be te let them severely alone. At dinner
ene day 1 listened te Risk. He hail the
'crank' machine in geed order, and for
the benetlt of Malone, Metzgar, Barr, Har
nett and your correspondent, he evolved
startling principles in religion, politics
and science. But I must forbear."
A SATURDAY EVEXIXG FIGHT.
A Geed Deal of Trouble Caused by Heys
Yelling at Twe Men.
Saturday evening there was qulte an
excitement in the nerthern part of town,
caused by a fight in which several persons
took part. Llke all affairs of this kind it
is very difficult te get ut the bottom facts,
as different people tell different stories. It
seems that between 0 and 7 o'clock In the
evening Harry Geed and " Bully Myers
walked out of Kuhlman's North Pole
saloon and started out North Queen street.
Geed was carrying a gun and ene of a
crowd of boys, who were standing near
the saloon, yelled te Geed ; "Bring back
that gun." Geed came back and
began abusing a son of ex-PolIce
Ollleer Geerge Lent. The boy denied that
he was the ene who did the yelling and ills
father Interfered in his behalf, when he
saw that the boy was being Ill-treated,
Myers at ouce turned upon the Elder
Lent, knocking him down and beating him
Whilu the man was prostrateGeod Jumped
upon him, injuring him qulte severely.
Several persons who sawthe affair ran te the
assistance of Ixtntz and chased etf the men
who were assaulting him. taking the
gun from them, as they feared it might be
used.
Before the affair with the Ij3iitr.es took
place Geed and Myers went Inte the stere
of Jeslah Little and had a difficulty with
Little, who Is said te have been struck by
Geed. Little and William Herzeg both
brought suits against Geed, charging him
with assault and battery and drunken and
disorderly conduct, before Alderman Del
let. Geed dees net bear a very geed repu
tation anu when Constable Elirman caught
him he handcuffed him. He created a
great deal of excltement as he walked
through the streets, aud a great crowd
from the nerthern iart of town followed
him te the station house. The accused Is
already making arrangements te settle the
suits brought against him. Neither of the
Lonles have prosecuted Myers or Geed.

A REPLY. TO Tnr. MAYOR.
The Commissioners Explain the Con
tention Uotween City and County.
The mayor has received the following
from the county commissioners :
Lancaster, Pa., December 0, 1880.
' Hen. Edward Edgerlcy, Mayer.
Sin : In your moasase te councils, rela
tive te the county's claim against the city,
we were surprised te find an accusation of
unfriendliness and lack of courtesy en Uie
part of the county commissioners, vis t
" The action en part of the commissioners,
in bringing suit against the city before Uie
matter could be properly brought te your
notice, aud without affording an oppor
tunity of a mutual understanding, seems
unwarranted, and lacks the spirit of frlond frlend
liness that should exist betweeu the muni
cipal and county authorities.
" If the commissioners have been negll-
f;ent In their duties hi net collecting what
s claimed the county Is cntltled te, It is
surely no fault of tlie city, and should be
the greater reason why no hasty action
should be taken.
"The Interests of the city and county are
in a large measure Identical ; our mutual
and business relations are the same and we
should be only actuated by a spirit of fair
ness and right. "
In answer te this chnrge, permlt us te re
mind you of the Intercourse between the
representatives of the city and the county
in roferonco te theso stroet damages :
In the latter part of May, 1888, a meeting
was held at the effice of Messrs. Hestetter
and Beyer, our counsel, at which yourself.
City Solicitor W. T. Bre An, ourselvcs and
our counsel were present. We then, as
i epre&cntlng the county of Lancaster, made
a request te you as the mayor of the city
for a settlement of all accounts botween
the city and the county, aud wn pro;escd a
plan for thopayment of same by Instal
ments In a manner that would net have
raised the taxes of the citizens of the city a
slngle dollar, nclther would it have with
drawn a slngle dollar from the usual city
appropriations te tlie various departments.
That plan was tills:
Under recent legislation tlie city was
about te recolve a portion of the tnvern
licenses amounting te about (15,000 per
year. We suggested that the city govern
ment be run ou the same amount et money
that had been found sufficient for many
years past, and that this extra windfall be
applied te the gradual reduction of the
county's claim. This propesitlon.you, as
the city's representative, poremplorily re
fused, and notified the county treasurer,
who, with his counsel, J.llay Brown, esq.,
was then called In that unless the ltcense
money was immediately paid into tlie city
treasury legal proceedings would be Insti
tuted against him.
We then asked the county troasurer te
held en te this inonev for the county, but
his counsel ad vlsed film te keep out of the
controversy and paid the money evor, and
through your refusal te conslder the sub
ject the opportunity for the city te pay by
Instalments was lest.
Exceptions were seen after filed In vari
ous cases and proceedings Instituted in
ethers te compel the payment of damages
by the county, thrce of which eventually
went te the suprome court.
The city of Lancaster was net a party te
the record In these proceedings and had of
course no standing te be heard In court.
The city solicitor, forseeing that these
cases might be of great importance ulti
mately te the city, asked permission of our
counsel te appear In theso cases and argue
in support of the city's position against the
county. This permisslcn we clioerfully
granted, and the city solicitor's arguments
with ether cenn sol secured u doelslen ad ad
verse te us from the court below.
We then appealed three cases te the
sn promo court, aud again the city asked
our permission te be heard before that
tribunal, which was again granted. At the
supreme court. Justice Sterrett, who pro pre
sided, expressly stated that the city of
Lancaster was net a party te the record,
and asked our counsel if they had con
sented te the city's counsel appearing.
Our counsel replied that they had con
sented and desired that the city be heard
as fully as thomselves, and the naper book
of the city solicitor was accordingly sub
mitted along with their own.
The supreme court sustained the main
position taken by our counsel and decided
that as botween the city and county the
county Is only llable for damages te the
exteut that the city llad contributed for
reads and bridges In the county eutside of
the city, and that for all ever and abeve
that amount the city Is llable. They, how hew how
evor, held that as between the landowner
and the city and county all damages for
land should be paid In the first Instance
te the landewner by the county and
that the city should repay the county the
amount in excess of what it had contrib
uted towards reads and bridges in the
county. This decision was filed by the
supreme court en October 7, and was pub pub
llslied In the newspapers of the city, and
you and the city authorities were as fully
cognizant of it as we. Under this decision
the county has silica been called en te iy
considerable sums of money in addition te
what they had already overpaid. Al
though several regular and special meet
ings of councils have been held since the
doelslen no action was takeu en the sub
ject und no motion made by yourself
or any ene representing uie city toward an
adjustment or the matter, nor even the
repayment of what we have been com
pelled te pay out sluce the decision by tlie
supreme court. Inasmuch as you and the
city councils had full knowledgo of our
claim and knew as much of the law as we,
we de net think It was necessary for us te
make any formal demaiid upon the city.
As a matter of courtesy, hewever, we did
present you en November 11 with a wrllteii
communication calling your attention te
our claim und requesting payment of the
balance due, at the same tlme asking you
te favor us with a reply by the following
Monday.
Ne reply was glven by you as requosted,
nor has a word been received by us up te
this dute from yourself or any ene repre
senting the city. Instead of this you en
November 22 gave our communication te
the newspapers and also your answer do de
nylug the county claim und saylag that
the city would net pay.
The newspapers havollkewlso en several
occasions contained statements, presuma
bly upon geed authority, that the city
would ns ene of lis defenses Interpose the
pica ei tiie siaiuie ei limitations.
A large portion of the county's claim Is
mere than six years old. On December 1,
18W9, i J.0O0 mere would have been in the
same position. Te save the chances of
this delense being sustained, we were com
pelled te settle, or bring suit en or before
Nevember 30th. We waited till tlie last
day In the afternoon, but you falled te ac
knowledge our communication. There
upon, as you had peremptorily refused an
adjustment u year and a-half before, we
brought suit. Llke you, we think a spirit
of friendliness should prevail between the
city an county authorities. We regret that
any attempt lias been made te arrty ene
locality against another or against Individ
uals in what is purely a business matter.
If this money properly and legally belongs
te the county, it is part of our sworn duty
te collect It. If II dees net se belong, we
de net want It.
Thore Is no occasion for harsh criticisms
of etllciuls en either side. Let the courts
decide whether this money Is payable or
net.
Trusting that this presentation of facts
will convince you that there has been, ou
our part, no lack of "that spirit of frleiul frleiul
lliiesi which should exist between the
municipal and county authorities," and
assuring you that we ure actuated solely
by a sense of duty, we ure

Files In Snow.
A week stnee (writes a correspondent of
a Glasgow contemporary), In the com
pany or a frlend, I mode the ascenlf of Bon Ben Bon
mere from Urianlarlch. We found the
cone well powdered with snow, which get
deeper aud firmer as we ascended, and
when we had reached within, say, 600 or
GOO feet of the top we came upon a solitary
fly, qulte dead, but which had evidently
been very rocently In the full enjoyment
of life and health. A few feet farther en
we found'flve or six mere, some alive and
some dead, but higher still, and within a
short distance of the top we were surprised
te find hundreds, all atlve and apparently
enjoying themselves, though but few of
them seemed able te use thelr wings. At
this elevation the ground was thoroughly
covered with snow and all the rocks
thickly crusted with lce, and we noticed
that it was where the lce was thickest that
the Insects were most numerous. On the
south side of tbe mountain, where we de
scended, we saw nene of our little friends.
I am net a naturalist, and Bonmero may
perhaps be the ordinary winter resort of the
fly, but it appears curious that any insect
which is se gonerally associated with
warm weather should be found In large
numberain wlnter, 3,801) feet abeve sea
level.

The dethroned omperorof Brazil has sent
a dispatch te the Brazilian government re
fusing the large sum offered him and ac
cepting only what tbe law allows him as
emiiorer. He still claims te be emperor
and says he will go back te Brazil when
the twople call him, but will Issue no man
ifesto. He said te a correspondent : " I
don't think the Brazilian peeple have
1 cached anything llke the stage of civiliza
tion required te fit them for absolutely froe
government. It Is absurd te draw any anal
egy betwoen them and the peeple of the
United States."
Regarding the prospect of a restoration
of the empire. Comte d'Ku said that Brazil
was tee far from Europe, and that a man
was wanted who could bring the army
around te the emplre. If the emperor had
appeared en the streets when tbe robelllon
breke out the crowd would have cheored
him. New It was tee late.
A New Car Moter.
A press dispatch from Newerk, N. J.,
states thut an Inventer of that city has con
structed an electric railroad en one of the
wharves of that city te demonstrate a new
principle in electric propulsion. It is said
net only te de away with overhead wires,
but with continuous currents as well. It is
a conduit system, but the conduit Is with
out a slot', and is practically water-tight.
Te keep It dry a blower or exhaust fan
will keep air constantly circulating through
it. The conduit Is placed midway between
the rails, and in the full-size model It Is
made of weed, with a series of heavy brass
plates en top. In the bottom of the con
duit is a copper strip, insulated from the
conduit. The brass strips forming tbe
cover of the conduit are four of flve feet In
length, and are rubbed by copper brushes,
which conduct tbe current te the meter
lu the car. Thore Is no flew of current
outside of tlie conduit except directly un
eor the cur. Elsewliore the current Is
flowing peacefully along the copper red in
tlie bottom tlie conduit. Connection bo be bo
twecn the copper red and brass plates Is
formed by permanent magnets precedlng
the brushes under the car. These magnets
pick up succosslve pallets or levers in tbe
conduit, and the pallets form contact be
tween tlie red aud the plates. As seen as
the car passes one of the strips, the levors
drop of their own welght, aud break the
circuit In the conduit. A practical read
Is te be put down in one of the suburbs of
Newark 10 tunner test tue system.
