Cm Wda Jay Afternoon.
The opening of the electric atreet rail
war, en Weaaeedajr afternoon, created
auU aa excitement en Eaat King atreet.
The crowd attracted te the vicinity of the
court henaewaa larger than that gathered
areand thle corner en the day of the circus,
and that mean an assemblage or several
hundred. By many It waa auppeaedthat
the atart would be made at Cen tie Square,
and all afternoon the equate was thronged.
When the electrla car waa aeen at ths cor
ner of Duke and East King atreeta there
waa a grand ruth, and aoen the atreet waa
nuea rwun people, an anxious te aee tne
: first electrle ear in the city start en its ex
perimental trip.
U The car was brought from the street car
table,wlth four herseshltehed te it, a few
mlnntas before five o'eloek. It did net
take long te make the neeessary attach
ment and at four minutes after Ave the
ear moved with the large crowd cheering
the passenger. Frem the Leepard hotel,
the starting point, te tha Jail, where the
car stepped, the trip was msde in four and
a half minutes. The return trip would
hare been made In less time but for an ac
cident. Lime street en the way back was
reached in three minute, and there the car
waa brought te a step by the less of a
"brush." It required several minutes be
fore the lest "brush" could be found. It
waa finally secured and the car moved te
the middle of the first square in East King
street.
It was at ence started en a second trip
and this time It was. net run se rapidly, it
requiring six minutes te reach the lull
entrance. When the car was stepped at
this point something waa discovered te be
out of gear with the machinery beneath the
bottom of the car, and it required some
''time te repair It. The master mechanic
was obliged te crawl under the car te make
the necessary repairs.
Crowds lined East Klug street from the
squnre te near the jail. All appeared te be
interested in the movement of the car, and
gave the occupants an ovation. The ma
chlnery belng new, the car did net run as
smoothly an it will In a day or two. The
noise made was net great, but scared
several horses en the street. Fortunately
there were no runaawaya, There will be
but little mere noise than with the ordi
nary car when the machinery Is properly
adjusted.
The car run was Ne. 12, msule at the Lo Le Lo
mekin car works, Chester, Pa. It was in
charge of Fred Pearson, of Jersey City, an
attache of the Daft Electrio company, as
sisted by Antone Westerdel, of the same
electric company, who make all test . 1 he
brakes wero managed by Frank ilullck.
Philip Schaum and Oalen'Sides, who will
have charge of the car regularly, were also
en it te liarn hew in properly ran the car.
The following Is a complete list of these
en the car in addition te the above named :
Jehn A, Ceyle. Jacob B. Leng, Jehn II.

Witmer, at present superintendent of street
railway ; Frank Hewitt in charge of the
line work ; Wm. King, of the construction
corps; E. Wilkinson, formerly of West
Point, Va., the new superintendent of the
company.
The car is handsomely finished and
- weighs ever four tens. On it, under the
trfofieor, is a 30 horse power meter, run by a
The i horse power dynamo of 440 volts.
- - Everything In the electric system is of the
Daft system the very best known for elec-
t trie street carp. Tha cars are illuminated
wilh electrle light.
In all the company has ordered ten cars.
, These.will be run by five fifty-borse power
dynamos which will be located at the car
stables en North Prince street, when the
read Is in thorough working enler.
At pre ;nt power win be furnished by the
Edisen Electrie Light company. The power
uch as furnished en the experimental
trip is capable of running the cars at the
rate of twenty miles an heur: but none of
the cars will, at any time he run at that
high speed in the city limits, an ordinance
preventing a greater speed than seven
miles an hour.
The car ran much smoother than was ex
pected for the first trip, ani the managers
are pleased with the manner in which the
contractors have done their work. It was
net a trial trip, but an experimental one.
The East King street line will be formally
opened in a day or two, when the first
regular trip will be made, and the guests
of the company en that occasion will be
the mayor, members of council and repre
aentativbs of tbepress. When ready for
that trip everything will be nicely adjusted
and the round trip will be made the entire
length of the read without interruption.

of New Yerk; directors, in addition te
above, Knight Noflel, Jacob B.Leng and
Walter M. Franklin. Sum nor T. Dunham,
of New Yerk, is largely Interested in the
electric railway.
The question as te whether the electric
railway can be made te pay is a question
that wai." frequently discussed en Wednes
day. A gtMitleman pested en the cost of
running the feed said the expense, count
ing interest en the cost of the plant, the
sauries of the empleyes and cost of
electricity, would be uet less than from 75
te 180 a day. Te make It pay 2,000 pas
sengers a dsy must be carried. Under the
present horse car system about 1,000 people
ride each day. The management expect
this number te be largely added te as seen
aa the electrle railway is In complete
rnnning order. Pars will be run at inter
vals of net mere than ten minutes, and
when the peopleof the town knew that they

Only four bit ware made off Sterling np
te the eighth lnnlna yesterday. The Pre
in Its report of the same says: "The at-
tendance waa 500, and the crowd, for a
wonder, waa In aympathy with the Lan
caster aggregation.."
Schmltt, the Pittsburg League pitcher, is
considered a genlaa. He ha the weak
points of a batsman written en a piece of
paper, and when they come op he read it
slyly. " Who's this man T " ha kept ask
ing Umpire McQuade at Cincinnati last
Friday as a batsman walteed up.
The Actives remain in Alteena te-day te
play a game that would have taken place
bore later In the year.
Manager Zecher, of Alteena, says that
the Lancaster club in the games at Alteena
played belter ball than Lebanon or Easten.
Gill is playing a splendid game at short
for Lancaster, and Is also bitting the ball.
The Eagan in the Lancaster club played
in Shamokin and Shenandoah last sum
mer. It was Tem Goedhart and net Catcher
Ooedhart who did the fine bitting for the
Lancaster In Tuesday' game.
Lancaster people should net allow the
Active club te go te the Wall new. They
are playing geed ball eren if they are away
behind, and If Manager Ooedhart had the
leastanceuragement he enuld make the
'team much stronger by the addition of
several players that be can get.
Blgby is doing well for Lancaster and Is
catching all the games.
At Penryn yesterday the Hsrrisbnrg
club left the grounds lu the sixth inning
because they objected te a decision of
Umpire Dean. The truth was that Lebanon
was te much for them, and they pounded
Melklelehn and Stecher, all ever the
grounds. Harrisburg started out well by
making four runs, but then Lebanon get
in and kept up the stick work te the close,
making eleven runs while their opponents
did net score again in the game.
The only way te keep the Actives np is for
some one te put in money. The peeple
will patronize a team that can win a few
games. Manager Ooedhart deserves credit
ler keeping his team together as welt as 'he
has in the race of se many difficulties.
Lancaster plays In Harrisburg te-morrow
and Saturday.
The Alteena Time says: "We admire
the pluck of Manager Ooedhart, of the
Lancaster club. He proposes te net only
stay In the league, but Ce strengthen bis
team. He is well off In batteries, and with
some changes in ether player will have a
geed club. The press reports concerning
the club's playing previous te its visit here
were either erroneous or based en preju
dice. The two games played here make it
mere and mere of a mystery why the Lan
castrians stand at the feet. We wish Man
ager Ooedhart success." ""
The Alteena papers seem pleased with
the Lancaster club, and the Ttmes of this
morning also speaks a geed word for them
as follews: " The Lancaster are composed
of some very geed material, but are cer
tainly playing in hard luck, aa was plainly
evidenced in both games here. Notwith
standing this fact their manager, Mr.
Goedhart, intends te continue in the league,
und ere the season ends expects te have
them booked as one of the leading clubs."
HE TftlED ItOLLEIt SKATES.
An Oysterman Who Could! Fly en Ice,
lint Net en Pavements.
Geerge Speng, the well known restaurant
keeper In Centre Square, waa standing in
front of his place of business yesterday
afternoon with a friend, and the chilly
weather led their conversation te Ice and
finally te skating. Geerge said that be was
a dandy Ice skater when younger and be
believed that he would be able te de
Just as well with the roller skates,
such as are used In rinks. His
friend doubted this and they referred
the matter te Geerge Gormley. It se hap
pened that Germleybada let of skates en
hand at bis fruit stand that lie has been
trying te sell for a friend, and he said if
Speng wanted te try a pair en he might de
se. The oysterman took a pair ever te hi
restaurant, and, with the assistance of his
friend, seen had them buckled en.
He tried te stand en the pavement,
but then the trouble began. The skates
must havei been oiled quite recently, for
they would net stand still. A bystander
gave Speng a slight push te see whether
they would work. As seen aa he was
touched Speng1 heels arose in the air te a
f;reat height and he came down se hard
bat be broke one of Sheriff Tomllnaen'a
large paving stones. He recovered and,
while lecturing the man who pushed him,
he again went down. He turned ever en
his hands and knee", but the rollers pre
vented blsgettingupagaln. Quiteaurewd
had collected by this time te see the exhibi
tion and Geerge became het. He appealed
te the bystanders te cut the straps or the
skates, as he was tired of them. After
much bard work they were gotten off. but
te-day Geerge Is very sere and feels tired.
He says that he never was much of a " dry
land sailor," but he knew what he can de
en ice. He has challenged Ed Hall, Jehn
Reese and Armle Hartman for a race early
next winter.

Ex-Governer Curtln, of Pennsylvania,
has been at the Heffman house, New Yerk,
for a day or two. The old war governor
leeks considerably better physically than
he did at the clese of his last term in

appearances, for when be attempts te walk
the governor's legs no longer afford him
that sturdy support of a few years past.
He walks with considerable difficulty and
when en bis feet shows the Inroads of old
age. I asked the governor what be thought
of the political situation In Pennsylvania.
"It leeks te me," he replied, "as If
Quay would succeed In forcing Delamater

"AndlfbodeosT"
" If he does he wilt be beaten, that's all,"
was the reply of the war governor. " That
is, If the Democratic party, " he continued,

about the only hope that Democrats have
of carrying Pennsylvania lies In the stu
pidity of Republicans and the aggressive
ness of Quay. "

The Vesuvius Accepted.
The secretary of the navy en Wednesday
accepted the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius.
His action waa based en a report from
Engineer In-Chief Melville te the effect
that lu the recent trial of her machinery
she developed an average of 3,838 indicated
horse-pewor, or 038 ever tbe contract re
quirement. Although these figure have
net been verified by tbe testing of tbe indi
cators used en beard during the trial,
Commedore Melville said be bad no hesi
tation in recommending the acceptance or
the vessel. There is still retained 9130,000
or the contract money, or which about $00,
000 Is estimated te be due the government
as penalties for non-completion within con
tract. These penalties began te run erer a
year age and ceased last October, by order
of the secretary, at the time or the first trial
of the vessel's armament. It la probable
that the secretary will held that the penal
ties must stand, and that the contractors
will apply te Congress for relief.
Fer Transportation of Destitute People.

railroad companies asking them whether
tbey could net give seme reduced rates in
order te assist In getting seme of the many
people away who come te this town In seme

but that there is no fund here for that pur
pose. This morning the mayor received a
letter from A. A. McLeed, of the Philadel
phia it Reading railroad, In which he states
that there was no rule covering such cases
and they did net see why they should
make an exception for these people wishing
transportation from Lancaster. He adds,
however, "I will say that when circum
stances are se extreme as te make the case
an exceptional one, I shall be glad, upon
request from you, te furnUb transportation
free of charge."

Temmy's Beat Net se Leng aa Jim's,
Bnt Ha Eajeya Patrolling 11 With tha
Second Ward's Vigilant Oncer.
Seme year age the Intklmekwckr had
an account of a aeg that for yean followed
Henry Ertsman. then a night watchman In
the Fourth ward, about en hi beat. Every
night the animal would meet him at the
aame place, In Centre Square, and remaln
with blin all night. In the morning he
would go te his own home and would net
be seen until evening.
Anotber case, which is still mere re
markable, was brought te the attention or
a reporter of this paper last night. Fer
many years James L. Messenkep has been
a trusted watchman in the Second ward, a
position that he took after leaving the po
lice force. About six year age Mr.
Messenkep noticed that as he walked
along a part of his best he was
followed by a Jet black cat He seen found
that the animal bad formed an attachment
for him, and from that time until the pres
ent they have been fust friends. The cat
usually meet the watchman lu the neigh
borhood of Duke and East Klngstroetaand
remains with him for a part of each trip.
It will never accompany hlin up Duke
street farther than Kshleman'a hall, nor out
East Kimr farther than about Cbarlie Eck-
ert's stere: npen reaching these places he
suddenly disappears. The animal is of the
best disposition and 1 anxious te secure
tbe caresses of the watchman as long as he
Is alone. If anyone approaches that Temmy
is net acquainted with he will walk ulf a
short distance and remain until the party
steps talking te the watchman and move
off. Mr. Messenkep does net knew who
owns the cat and he nover sees him In day
light. Many curious stories of black rats are
told by snpeistltleus people, and while
some think they are a cure omen of bad
luck, ethers think they are a nover falling
source of geed luck. Mr. Messenkep does
net take any stock In these things, but he
Is a great friend of the out, which baa nover
changed his luck In the least.

READT FOn TUB SENATE.
The Tariff Bill Unshed Through the
Heuse en Wednesday.
In the Heuse en Wednesday after the
rejection or the amendment relating te
woolen and worsted yarns an amendment
providing fera duty en woolen and worsted
geed three ttmes that en unwashed wool
waa alto rejected. An amendment waa
agreed te classifying as manufactures of
wool all silk goods in which hair Is used.
The vinegar amondment adopted In com
mittee of the whole was agreed te.
Mr. Carlisle offered tha following :
Jlcjtetvrd, That the pending bill tie re
committed te the committee en way and
means, with Instructions te report tbe'aame
liack te the Heme at tbe earliest possible
day, se amended by substitutes or other
wise as te reduce the, revenue of the
government by reducing the burdonsef
taxation en the people, Instead of reducing
the duties by imposing prohibitory rates
or taxation upon imported goods, (Demo
cratic applause).
The resolution was defeated yeas, 140 ;
nays, 104. (Republican applause).
The bill was then passed yea Kl, nays
142 amid applause en both sides of the
Heuse, the Democratic applause belng de de
rlslve In Its character.
Twe Republicans, Mr. Colemnn, or
Louisiana, and Mr. Foatherstone, or
Arkansas, voted In the negative
Mr. McMllliu (Tenu.) In closing the do de
bate ler tbe Democrats said :
Through much tribulation, and by meth
ods mere speedy than rommendabte. we
have reached the point where this bill Is te
be snatched from the committee or the
whele untlnished and forced through the
llonse. Let us pause long oneugb te see
what it Is. Its Trainers beast that they have
Eut sugar en the froe Hat. Yes, they have ;
tit they have with that overridden the
conslltutien and outraged Just Ice by plac
ing taxpayers under bondage for fifteen
years te pay a bounty of bctwoen one and
threo hundred millions or dollars te sugar
producers. We are new within fifteen min
utes of the time when the final vote Is te be
taken upon this bill, and It Is proper that a
staloment of what It contains should be
given te the lloiue.
We have been told that this Is a Repub
lican measure te be passed by Republican
vetes. New, the question Is, what Is an
ideal Republican measure T Under the rule
that bas been adopted there are 200 amend
ments pending before the committee and
printed In the Jtecertt that can never be
considered. There are mere than 100 items
proposed in this bill which makes In
creases In tbe rates et duty, yet the com
mittee en ways and means has told us that
It has no data and can give none te Justify
these increases. What tnorer They have
ropealod the sugar tax only te put addi
tional taxes en every ethor schedule
The Increases net ostlmated in the oom eom oem
mlttoo' calculations amount te f 23,773,000.
This, added te what the committee confess
they have Increased, makes the Incrcase en
the different schedules outside of sugar fflfl,
010,000. Then they gl ve n bounty en sugar,
amounting te 87,500.000, Tbe net Incrcase,
therefore, by this bill te the people or the
United States Is 173,049,483.81. Tills last
docs net Include many increases as te which
there Is no data. I ask whether thn Heuse
or Representatives Is ready te take such
a Republican moasnreT It is net only a
Republican measure, but, as I stated last
night, It Is te be passed by Republican
methods. Yeu are willed uien te vote
upon these Incroased duties without dobate
and without hepe or amendments. Tbe
committee has taken most or the two days,
and net a slngle amendment has been
adopted that has been offered by any one
else.
The gentleman from Ohie said the
amomlments net noted en in committee or
the whole would fall. Hence all opportu
nity te amend or discuss this vicious meas
ure is geno. We were depilved of this
right by an iron-clad ruie made for the
puriione. Mere than 100 of the 150 pages of
the bill have bad no consideration, The
right te reduce duties en tin-plate, woolen
anil cotton goods, chemicals, sundries, etc.,
has been destroyed by special rule, and
the jwepln's representatives stand power power
less und their volce Is stilled. Applause

A WOMAN'S STRANGE SUICIDE.
She Fasten u Bone te Her Neck and tha
Cur Hutl und Jumps On.
Among the passengers who left Chicago
en TucMlay night's Motion train, was a
well dressed woman. She acted rather
quoerly, attracting the attention of ether
nccupantaorihecar. Shortly after leaving
Chicago sh" pulled euta bc'Jlc tif wnlsky
and began te drink froely. She took
a passenger's bat and put it in her
basket. Twice she walked te the end
of the vostlbule train as If debatlng seme
thlngiand then returned te ber scat and
drank again from the bottle. Fer tbe third
tlme she stepped nut of the deer and clesed
It. This was while the train was nearlng
Delphl, Ind. Net returning In a row min
utes the conductor was notified. Exami
nation showed a plece or small rope tied te
Iren work at the side or thn vostlbule plat
form. Tbe end showed It had been violently
broken. There was no trace of tbe woman.
The train, which was running at the rate
or thlrty-flve miles nn hour, was slopped
at Delphl and a hand car was sent back te
find the passenger. Her dead body was
seen dlscoveroj lying lu a peel or water nt
the slde or the track. Around her neck
was a piece or the repe that was attached
te the platform. It bed sunk se deeply
into me uesu as te nearly sever ine ueau,
Her neck was broken, and her body tern
and lacerated as If It bad been dragged
some distance. The liedy was brought te
Delphi, but nene or the passenger could
give the name or the woman,
She had a tlcket from Dulutb, Minn., te
Cincinnati, and had said she was going te
the latter city because she bad nowhere
else te go. The s trail go suicide croated
much talk aleug the railroad, and late in
the afternoon the woman was identified
from the description and clothing as Mrs.
Ware, formerly Mrs. Streatly. or Hamil
ton, Ohie. She hed been living for some
tlmein Duluth, and two weeks age wrote
her parents, living In Hamilton, that she
was coming en a visit. Her trunk arrived
in Cincinnati en Wednesday nlgbt, but
contained nothing throwing light en the
suicide. The family cannot account for
the act, but de net think she was of un
sound mind. Seme three years age she
had domestic trouble resulting Id a dlvoreo
from her husband. She was 37 years of
age. The railroad officials have notified
the family that they will bring the body te
Hamllteu.

'nd nore ,a whl,t lue Vnfltiirersavs;
The remarkable story told by cx-DIs-trlctl
Attorney Jehn W. Jehnsen, or Lan
caster county, Is net lively te have many
parallels. About ttaaar -years before the
war, acting en the grenf Greeley' advice,
young Jehnsen get as far West as Illinois.
His cousins. Frank Price and Kersey H.
ell, had proceeded 1dm there from Chester
county and were welt established. They
put some legal matter In his hands that
needed attention, and en April 30, 1857, he
found hlmseirat Decatur, then enough or a
railroad centre te be tbe Intersecting point
or two Illinois reads. Connection were
aulty here and Jehnsen found that he would
have te lay evor a greater part of the day
until the next train came along. Presently
he noticed another young Iman wht, ft
rterward transpired, was In a precisely
slm liar situation. They roll te talking and
walking together. As a pair of scales steed
", by they Jumped en and wero weighed.
Each tipped the beam at 140 pounds. This
pxrited seme surprise, as Uie one seemed
taller than the ether. They then measured
their heights. Each steed five feet, nine
Inches. Still mere remarkable, however,
was the colucldeiico that new cams out,
that the one was born en tbe aame day of
the Identical year en which tbe ether w
nshered Inte the world.
" Well, new." said the surprised young
lawyer, " what's your name T"
"Jphn W, Jehnsen," came the reply,
"and what's yours T"
"Jehn W.Johnsen."
Se It was that these two young sjrangers,
accidentally thrown togethor. found that
their respectlvn weights, helghts, age and
names were Identical. Beth were also
Pennsylvanlans. The Lancaster Jehn W,
Jehnsen vouches for the truth of this re
markabeo sorles or colncldencos. He bes
never aoen the ethor Jehn W. Jehnsen
from that day te this, but often wenders as
te the whereabouts or the man wheaa re
markable rosemblance te himself In se
many particular beats the record of the
eftsung "fellow who leeks llke me.''
ItKXPntCK' ADyiCK te nnunxKEn.
Among the Lancaster lawyers attending
the sittings of the supreme court this week
Is Henry Clay Brubaker, who, by the way,
'"Id net te le avorse te Judicial honors.
When Brubaker was a'much younger man
he practiced law in Indiana. On one occa
sion he met tbe late Vlce President Hen
dricks at the dlnner table of a mutual
friend In the town of Cambridge. Turning
te the young Pennsylvanlan, the Idolel
the Hoeslor Democrats spoke or his own
earlier days in the Keystene state, and then
volunteored this frleiidly ml vice i "Yeung
man, as you are Just starting in the practice
or law, let me give you a word or warning.
IS ever write any ollent a lotter of ad vlce. Let
all consultations and communications of
that kind be by word or mouth. " It will
be remombered that the late Simen Cam
oren nut this Idea In another form when
he said : "Rather go a hundred mlles te
see a man than te write him a loiter."
Speaking or politics, tee, Mr. Hendrlcks,.
en this occasion, dwelt upon the fellv of
the young man making a business of It,
He thought that no one could afford such
a luxury until he had made his mark in
whatover calling ha may have embarked.
Nevertheless Mr. Hendricks himself
entered the Indiana Legislature at the age
of 28, and the success which he afterward
achieved at the bar and before the people
Is known of all men.
