What will electricity do for railroads?
That la one of the questions which are
engaging the attention of the Invent
ors and of the managers as well as of
the public. It is a big question and one
that Is as yet practically unanswered.
To be sure, inventors have done con
siderable in the way of a partial solu
tion, but there Is more to be done than
has been done. It was once proposed
to build an electric railroad line from
Chicago to St. Louis and the projectors
told great stories of how the trains
would run at the rate of 100 miles an
hour and how greatly the cost of trans
portation would be reduced. But the
line has not been built, and the Buffalo
Express thinks that fact Is evidence
enough that something was lacking In
the plans to attract the attention- of
practical men, who before they put any
money into a scheme must see some
way for it to come back. But if elec
tricity as applied to railroads other
than street car lines has not got beyond
the experimental stage, it has reached
a point where it gives the railroad man
agers some occasion for a slight degree
of uneasiness. It has already affected
the steam railroads In their suburban
passenger traffic, and having gone that
far It may go farther. Everyone agrees
that electricity as applied to modern
usages is only in its infancy. Electric
lines are paralleling traffic lines In
large cities. And wherever they have
been introduced there is no question
but that they have seriously Interfered
with the business of the Bteam lines,
during all but four of the most severe
months of the year at least. That Is
the admission of railroad managers
generally.
As to how much electric lines are to
be feared in the transmission of pas
sengers and freight over long stretches
of territory ther is a difference of opin
ion. Vice-President J. T. Odell, of the
New York and New England, says that
in his opinion electricity may come to
be used between two large cities not
more than forty of fifty miles apart.
Further than that he does not believe
electricity will ever supersede steam.
I'reBldent O. V. Ashley, of the Wabash,
goes further, however. He says: "I am
Inclined to believe that, eventually,
electricity as a motive power will
supersede steam, but I do not think It
will become an important factor In gen
eral rail transportation for long dis
tances until the method of Its applica
tion has been greatly changed and im
proved. It would be Idle to deny great
possibilities in the future of electricity,
and I am a strong believer In its subtile
potency as an agent in practical work,
but I doubt very much whether man's
Intelligence has mastered Us secrets
sufficiently to count upon its constant
and economical work for long distances.
There are many serious objections to
overcome, I think, before it can be con
sidered a formidable rival for general
transportation by rail. When these
objections are overcome, I believe the
steam roads are in the best position to
avail of the power, and that they have
such an advantage In construction and
location, that they will be the first to
utilize It successfully. It does not ap
pear to me that this condition Is yet in
sight, but as to this I may be mistaken.
I believe electric power to be a giant,
still in infancy. Its growth has al
ready been abnormally rapid, but It
will require long study and experience
to develop its great capacity, and to
teach us the best method of controlling
end utilizing it."
General Manager Sargeant, of the
Grand Trunk of Canada says: "It is
Impossible to conjecture to what ex
tent this wonderful agent may be de
veloped, but, so far as Its 'present
adaptability (Is concerned, 'electricity
would be too costly, and could not bo
adapted to all requirements of the rail
way service. I found that to be so,
when considering the question, In con
nection with the workings of a short
piece of line, between A. and B., not
long since." The view of Collls P. Hunt
ington, president of the Southern Pa
cific, is thus expressed: "My impres
sion Is that, for short passenger roads,
electricity Is going to be an important
factor In transportation, though to Just
how great an extent I do not, of course,
know, but for llong roads, carrying
heavy tonnage, I do not believe It will
ever take precedence over steam. It
Is possible that the time may come
when roads which now use steam may
find it more economical to use electric
ity In many places." President E. P.
Smith, of the Vermont Central, is a be
liever In the future of electricity, for he
says: "So many astounding discover
ies have already transpired In electric
ity one cannot but believe that sooner
or later it will constitute the motive
power in conectlon with rail transpor
tation," .
What is considered the largest and
most perfect vein of bituminous coal In
Central Pensylvanla has been devel
oped at Sterling No. 11, at Spangler.
The coal lb eight feet high, and remui k
ably free from defects or dirt. The re
markable height of the vein has been
.naintalned for a considerable distance
and gives every indication of being per
manent. An electric road between Reading
and Fhl'acMphla Is almost ussured. It
U promised to carry passengers from
Philadelphia to Reading for 73 cats
and not ho more than two and one-half
hours In doing It, having comfortatle
chair cars for through passengers,
which will make riding through the va
ried and beautiful scenery through the
country a pleasure.
MINOR INDUSTrTaL NOTES:
The only business which is larger
than In 1892 Is the boot and shoe trade.
Railroad men report a good run of
coal on the Jefferson division of the
Erie.
Some $17,000,000 new Southern rail
way bonds will be delivered about
Nov. 1.
A break-down has stopped the Le
high Valley's crushing plant at Hazle
ton for a few days.
Work on the bicycle Industry at
Weatherly is being pushed rapidly, and
before many weeks the building will be
completed.
The "long delayed Unadllla Valley
railroad, up In New Tork, has at last
been re-opened and trains win here
after be run upon It regularly.
Ontario earnings for second week in
October were 170,500; same week last
year 8A14L For the year so far the

Commercial.
earning rW short of last year $113,-
ooo. , .
During the first week .In Ootober
earnings on seventy-three railroads de
creased -2.86 per cent, and In the sec
ond week thirty-seven roads decreased
1.14 per cent.
A party of New Tork and Philadel
phia capitalists who recently Inspected
Hon. Eckley B. Coxe's new 'patent
grate pronounced it a wonderful
money-saver, '
Business oh the Lehigh Valley road
In and about White Haven is very
brisk, and a report comes from there
that additional motive power is badly
needed. The eleven crews stationed at
White Haven are so busy that they are
hardly able to keep the constantly in
creasing traffio moving.
It begins to look as though the coal
trade was improving somewhat, for
orders have been received at Hazleton
Instructing all collieries In that vi
cinity to work full time this week.
This is, Indeed, welcome news to the
many miners in this vicinity, who have
been working only half time for many
months.
STOCKS AM) BONDS.
By the TJnltod Press.
New York, Oct. 23. Affairs at the
Stock Exchange are drifting from bad
to worse so far as business Is concerned,
the total sales today having amounted
to only 93,131 shares, against 124,212
shares yesterday afternoon. In today's
total American Sugar figured for over
a third, 31,000 changing hands. The
stock advanced-11 to 87 at the start,
and then ran off to 8G!486. The
Grangers were inclined to weakness,
owing to a belief that the forthcoming
statement of the St. Paul and Burling
ton and Qulncy would be unfavorable.
Long' stock did not come out fast
enough, however, to suit the beam, and
a trader offered to bet $1,000 even that
St. Paul would sell down a point be
fore up one. This has no effect what
ever. Heading was neglcted, the an
nouncement from Philadelphia that
Master in Chancery Crawford had filed
a report approving the reorganization
plan falling Hat. Speculation cloned
dull. Net changes show losses of ff
per cent.
The range of todny's prices or the ac
tive stocks of the New York market are

Charles M. Allen, president of the
Plttston school board, was engaged In
repairing the high trestllng at No. 9
shaft yesterday, when in some manner
he made a misstep and fell to the
ground forty feet below. He struck on
his shoulders on a bank of soft earth
and It is probably due to this fact that
he Is still alive. He was transferred
as quickly as possible to his home and
medical assistance summoned, Mr. Al
len Is perfectly conscious, although
anaesthetics have been administered
to ease his pain. Dr. Underwood says
that there has been cither a fracture
or ai dislocation of tha spine, beside a
terrible shock to the system,
The Inquisition over the young Polish
lad who was killed a little over a week
ago at Maltby, will take place on Sat
urday next in Moore's hotel. Evidence
will be produced at the hearing to the
effect that the boy was not killed by a
weapon In the hands of the fugitive
Hungarian, but by a man In the vicln
ity. Hon. Thomas Waddell, of Susque
hanna avenue, West Plttston, after an
intermittent illness lasting over a year,
died at 4.30 o'clock yesterday morning.
Mr. Waddell was born In Edinburg
June 27, 1S27, and was, therefore, 67
years of age. In 1850 he married in that
city Miss Janet Wallace. A few weeks
after, the young couple bid farewell to
their native heath and sailed for Amer
ica. In 1853 Mr. Waddell emigrated to
California and engaged in gold mining.
He remained there three years and hav
ing prospered. Returning to this place
he engaged In coal mining and contin
ued the work with marked success un
til the present time. Mrs. Waddell in
1890, and the sons and daughters who
survive are as follows: Thomas, of Illi
nois; George, of Wllkes-Barre; Miss
Janet and Mary, who reside at the
family home; Mrs. A. T. Gangloff, of
Luzerne; Mrs. J. H. Bryden, of West
Pittston, and Margeret, who resides at
home. In politlce Mr. Waddell was a
Republican and, although never taking
an active part in the various cam
paigns, was a close observer and an
enthusiast In the success of that party.
He was a member of the Pennsylvania
house, as one of the three members who
represented Luzerne county at large,
under the old coynstltutlon. He was
phosen In 1873 and served for one term.
No arrangements have as yet been made
for the funeral.

Thyslclana who are skin experts say
the people of Pittsburg are, on the aver
age, a little darker than other folks in
Pennsylvania. This, they say, Is due to
the fact that the air Is always black with
sooty smoke, which In time darkens the
complexion.
Suicides among animals are raro. A
dozen people at Norristown witnessed
the deliberate suicide of a horse on
Thursday evening. The melancholy beast
was owned by James McLaughlin. Hav
ing finished a day's work in traces, the
horse was turned out to pasture. The
fact that after tolling faithfully all day It
was forced to hunt Its own food seemed to
weigh heavily upon the equine mind.
Gazing pensively Into the Schuylkill river
for a few minutes, It walked slowly Into
the chilly water. It waded out a rod from
the shore where the water was five feet
deep- and then, with a farewell glance at
mother earth, lay down. Half an hour
later It was pulled out a stark corpse.

WE ARE NOT "SOLE AGENTS" for Priestley & Co.'s Black Dress Goods, but we always carry a complete line In
stock, and we are always up to dute with their Newest Weaves and Latest Novelties. If a lady contemplates
uuying a diuck urcss mere are
Vlrst-Becanse all grades of Priestley Goods are manufactured
from the very best quality of Silk and Australian Wool.
Second-Because the dye is always the same unchangeable re
liable Black, which never grows ruity or gray with age.
Third Because tha weave is firm, and they never slip or fray.
Fourth Because they can be easily cleaned, washed in soap
ana water, if necessary.
Among the best thinus shown ore:
Warp Henrietta, Metelasc, Melrose, Eudora, etc. The last named "Eudora," being the very latest Cloth out The "Eu
dora" is a triumph in textile weaving. It is a Silk Warp, and exquisite in its rich softness. Some say ''it's only a
HenriettaTo those we say, you are mistaken; it's more than a Henrietta. You ask wherein it is better? Well, a
Priestley Henrietta did seem as near complete excellence as it is possible to reach, but the Eudora has all its good quali
ties and several superior ones, making it the most perfect smooth faced fabric in the world. It has extra width. A
great advantage, too, in these days of Umbrella Skirts, Full Coats, etc
It has extra weight Not so heavy as to make it too warm for a good all-around-year's dress, but just enough
heavier than the Henrietta to give it the appearance of having the body of a Ladies' Cloth without its overburdening warmth.
It positively will not catch the dust. The dust sjiedding qualities of Priestley's goods have always been their
strong feature, but the Eudora has been experimented upon, until it is an improvement over all and the climax of per
fection is reached. The Eudora is young and new, but in a short time all women will find it their "friend in need," for
it will always be ready for wear.
Our usual low prices prevail on all Priestley's goods.

Washburn-Crosby Co. wish to assure their many pat
rons that thev will this year hold to their usual custom
of milling S1RICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, and
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers arc
of the opinion that it is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will take
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling has
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far above other
brands.
