"I don't know " I besan. 'To

aTter a few seconds of thought: "That

"Are you as near success as that?" I
excUIm'ed. faYly startled by the assur-an-'--
of his answer.
"I do not know how near I am," he
answered testily, "but surely you can
see 1kw absurd It would be to go away
without examining every inmate of the

"I den't knew how you can accomplish
It. Mary Is a very obstinate woman."
"Lst m suggest," he replied, more
blandly, "that you frankly state the
case to her. Say that I am an officer
of th law and am compelled to do my
duty, and tha t. If sh will submit to the
Inevitable, my stay and the consequent
annoyance to her will be cut rhort."
I acquiesced in the sound sense of this
advice; and llttlrs more was said during
our meat When tt was concluded I
went up stairs again to my niece's room
and represented the situation as well
as I was able. This time I found her,
though indignant, yt more inclined to
look at things reasonably.
"Very well, then." she said. "If I

ELECTRICAL ENGINE TESTED
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Substitutes
Ktaetrlelty for Steam Power tpon Its
Largest Rotors in fheTnnnel at Daltl
mors.
New York, July 15. Electricity In
stead of steam power in railway loco
motionsuch seems to be the inevftable
result. Much has been said and writ
ten about the possible suppression of
the steam locomotive by the electrical
locomotive In railway service, but few
would have thought that within seven
years after the first successful demon
stration! of the adaptability of the
electrls motor to city transit an electric
locomotive vying In size and power and
speed with the heaviest steam locomo
tive would actually be placed In ser
vice upon a part of the system of one of
the main trunk lines of the country
Such a step In progress has, however,
been taken by the Baltimore ami Ohio
railroad. The system applies only to
transportation In the new tunnel
constructed under the city of Baltimore
and to the approaches, a distance all
told of 15,000 feet, but the step is a radi
cal one, and the testings have been
productive of such satisfactory results
that It Is safe to predict the data when
In all railway locomotion electricity will
be king.
In 1,390 work was begun by the Baltl
more and Ohio company on the tunnel
which has been but recently completed.
It was constructed to facilitate trans
portation, for all trains on the road
running between Baltimore and the
north have been compelled to take a
long and dovious course, acting mater
tally to' the competitive disadvantage
of the company; as other lines had a
clear route through the city.
Cnnld Not I'se Steam.
"With the proect for the construction
of the tunnel the question of its ventila
tion became urgent. The disadvan
tages) of Its operation by steam locomo
tives were paternt, and M became neces
sary to find a means of doing away
with the smoke and gas either by a
scheme of ventilation or the abandon
ment of steam locomotion In the tunnel.
Cable traction was suggested, and other
schemes, but all in turn were rejected
aa Inadequate or unsatisfactory. The
General Electrto company then offered
to undertake the construction of elec
tric locomotives of capacity sufficient
to haul the heaviest trains, effect the
entire equipment of the system, both
for lighting end power, and thus to solve
the ventilation problem. Preparations
were made to commence the work of
construction on the locomotives, so that
they should be ready at the time the
tunnel, opened, Which event was set for
March, IMS. The tunnel waa, however,
not finished until early this year, and
the electrical-installation waa not begun
until January, 1S9S. Nevertheless, the
delay had its compensating advantages.
Electric railway apparatus had, during
that time, been greatly, perfected, and
the plant now In the power-house Is of
the most modern character, while the
electric locomotives are the largest ever
constructed. -
Extra Heavy Engines.
The power engines are built extra
strong, on account of the severe work
by which they will be taxed, and present
the latest development of Reynolds
Corliss type." Directly1 coupled to them
are 600 K. W. general electric multipolar
generators, adapted to run with the en
gine at 110 revolutions per minute.
The armatures of these generators are
"overhung;' on the outer end of the
shaft. The arrangement, In this re
spect, differs from the. regular practice
of railway generators. - The armatures
differ from standard practice In being
wound for 700 volts pote-nMcal and are of
the lrot elad type, I. ., the windings are
embedded in slots cut Into the outer
periphery of the laminated armature
body. The armatures ara of the latest
barrel wound type, and present a, very
massive appearance. The fields are of
steel, according to the well known gen
eral electric design; and run remarkably
cool. The machine compounds from 600
volts no load to 700 volta full load. The
performance of botfh the generator and
engine under the severe fluctuations
to which this character of work is sub
ject shews that the apparatus must have
been carefully designed, with reference
to the peculiar conditions to which it
was to be subjected.
From the railway generators the cur
rent Is brought over In cables, of 1.000,000
C. M. cross-seotlon, to a swltfhbourd of
white marble, erected on a platform
raised at the south end of the engine
room. This wltohb'.-d consists of
four standard "K" generaor panels,
each equipped with all the necessary
Instruments for controlling and meas
uring the current from one generator.
The machines are protected from acci
dent arising from short circuit by auto
matic circuit breakers, one of which is
tlxed to the upper part of each panel.
The most Interesting portion of the
installation Is. of course, the locomo
tives. Klectrlo looomotlvfa of such
weight and Kwer had never bfifure been
conceived, but It has always been a rule
In American electric railway practice
from the beginning, to push ahea 1 where
improvements were possible and muko
the results realize the expectation), and
there has been no departure from the
rula In this esse. The ninety-six ton
electric locomotive Is a success. It wts
designed to do very heavy work and to
handle fains such athe largest s-teim
locomotives handle. It Is, of course,
also designed to run In either direction.
TcNt lllchlv Successful.
A test of the first completed truck,
representing one-half of the locomotive,
waa made upon ithe 'tracks at the
Schnectady shops of the general Elec
tric company. In order to obtain the
necessary load, a heavy six-wheel en
gine was made use -of and the electric
locomotive truck coupled to It. The
mnchlnes were then set In opposite di
rections and tugged at the connecting
couplings as In a tug of war. The
electric locomotive had a slight advan
tage over the steam engine In weight
on the drlvlntr wheels, and pulled It up
and down Kie track with apparent ease.
For the same weight upon the drivers
It waa shown that Me electric- locomo
tive Btarts a greater load than the
steam locomotive.
Each motor is rated at 3G0 horse
power and takes a normil current of
900 amper3. The controlling devices
'measuring lns'trunnl-.s, etc, occupy
the Interior of the cab. The controller
U erected In one half of the cab, and
It la of a series parallel type. The re
serving leaver projects through the up
per plate of the controller cover. The
resistances are placed around the frame
beneath the floor of t'h cab. The loco
motive Is equipped with a 1.200 to S,!H)0
automatic circuit breaker and one 2,000
ampere magnetic cut out of 6,000 am
pere IllumlnatFd dial Weston ammeter
and one Illuminated dial Weston vol
tmeter. The compressed air for the
whistle and brakes Is supplIOe by an
oscillating cylinder electric air pump,
the air tanks being placed at each end
of the complete locomotive. The Inter
ior of the cab is Illuminated by clusters
of incandescent lights. Contact with
t'he overhead conductor is affected by
meana of a sliding shuttlelike rhoe of
braes, which is fixed to a flexible support
fastened to tho top of the cab. The
"trolley" support is diamond shaped
and compressible, contracting and ex
panding as the height demands, and
Is arranged to lean on one side of the
other as the locomotive runs on one
side or Phe other of the overhead conduc
tor. It is, however, rigid In so far as
movement forward or backward over
thelocomotlve is concerned. The cur
ren Is brought to the locomotive by
meana of cables connected to the shoe
and fastened to the "trolley" support.
The conductor is simply a reversed iron
conduit, or trouR'h, erected overhead on
trusses 1n the open and In the tunnel
attached to the crown of the arch. In
the open the conductor Is directly over
the center of the track: In the tunnel
over the center line of the space be
tween the tracks.
GOOD REASON WHY.
The following Incident occurred at a rail
way station near Rochdale. A young man
was standing beside somo luggage wait
ing for a train, when a porter came up to
him and said, "Sir, that luggage is over
weight." "Who says It Is?" asked the
man, who stammered badly. "Well. I
think It Is," answered the porter, "hut
we'll weigh It." During the conversation
a crowd had collected round them, and
another porter came up and asked what
was 4he matter. The man stammered out,
"F Irst he says It's overwelsht; then he
says he th Inks lt"s overweight, and then
ho says he will weigh It." The porters
than took hold of the luggage and carried
It to the office and weighed it. "It Is over
weight, and you have got Is. M. to pay,"
said porter No. 1. "8h ant pay It," the
man said. "Well, If you won't pay M, we
shall fetch the statlontnaster," said the
porter. VFetch wh o you like; sh ant
pay it," again stammered the man. The
statlonmaster was duly fetched, and on
arriving asked what the bother was about.
When the man again said, "F Irst he
says It Is overweight, and then he thinks
It's overweight, and them he weighs M,
and says it Is overweight, and I have Is.
9d. to pay. Bhant pay." "Well," said the
statlonmaster, In a rage, "why won't you
pay It?" "because It la not my luggage,"
answered the man, and walked off.
RECOiMM ENDED A BATH.
The following Is the horror pehpetrsted
by a well known Scotch baronot. A i r
man sportsman said to him the other
day: "Talking about dogs with kfn
scent, I have on in Germany that will
compare favorably with any you have In
England."
"Very remarkable dog, I suppose?"
yawned the listener.
"I should say so. The day after I left
home he broke his chain, and although I
had been away for hours, he tracked me
and found me merely by scent. What do
you think of that?"
"I think you ought to take a bath,"
replied the Caledonian, turning calmly
away.

UMPIRING A 11 ALL GAME.
He waa the teacher of a department In
the public schools. Ills charges were out
for their annual plcn'.c, and hn was doing
double time trying to satlxfy all their de
sires. Finally they got him out in the
broiling sun to umpire a ball game be
twen trnms compoel of h'.a 14-yeur-old
and his lti-year-old boys.
He had only the most dim recollections
of the game as he had played It a dozen
years before in Depew's back lot. At that
time you threw the bull at the bane run
ner, and if you hit him off the base he
was supposed to bo "out." as a matter
fit fact, he not Infrequently was so far
out that he had to be removed from the
Held In his comrade's arms and pumped
ou till he came to. That was the tlino
Thompson made what we regarded as an
International fame by pitching one dozen
balls Into the open end of perk measure
nailed to a post sixty feet away.
"How mary strikes do you take a base
on?" the teacher asked one of the cap
tains. This and other points were explained 'o
him and the game proceeded. He did
fairly well on balls and strikes during the
first half Inning, but his work was less
acurate when the opposing team came to
bat.
"One ball!" ho sung out, nervously.
The little pitcher looked disgusted.
"Two balls!"
The pitcher threw his cap on the ground,
planted himself firmly and hurled the ball
dlrertly over the plate.
"Three balls!" cried the unhappy um
pire, who had forgotten whether it was
strikes or balls that were expected to pass
over the plate.
"Why don't you come out behind the
pitcher where you can sea the ball?"
shrieked the enraged captain of the team
In the field.
"See? Him see? Our teacher see?" sold
the little pitcher slowly. "Yes, he can see
a boy pinch his neighbor out of the back
of his head, but he couldn't see a water
melon If you d throw it over the plate."
And a 12-year-old Infant from a lower
form umpired the rest of that ball game
without hearing a single complaint, while
the teacher went back to the task of cut
ting off hunks of gingerbread for the
small boys and of angel cake for the
girls.

WHAT'S THE USE?
What's the use to talk of sighing
When the meadow shows Its green;
When the ripple's on the rlvor
And the lilies loll and lean?
What's the use to talk of sighing
When the lark Is In the loam,
And the morning glory's climbing
Up the garden gate at home?
What's the use to talk of sighing
When the rose Is sweet with dew
When the mocking bird is singing
And the violets blue?

Washfcurn.Crosby Co. wish to assure their many pate
rons that they will this year hold to their usual custom
of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, ana
owing to the excessively dry weather many miller are
of the opinion that It w already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. WashburnCrosby 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
