The slow progress of electric traction
ill Great Britain is a mutter not easily
Comprehended III the 1! tilted States.
A. recent English writer states that
the total mileage of elecllic roads, (n
that country does not much exceed 40,
and that, while It was expected thut the
opening of the City and South London
. and the Liverpool Elevated railways
would have a powerful Influence In
fuvor of electricity. It Is doubtful ir
twelve miles of electric road have been
opened In the three years these lines
have been working. This seems to
have been chlelly due to the widespread
npposltiuu to overhead wires.
As Knglish slreetes are not remark
able for beauy, the objections to tin?
Wires can hardly be on esthetic grounds,
but It probably results from a vague
ftar that the safety of the public might
be endunuered a fear much Increased
by garbled reports of accidents In Amer
ica. Accumulators, steam and petro
leum have been tried on certain tram
Ways with no very encouraging results.
A change of sentiment now appears to
be In progress, as several new electric
Hugh are nearly completed,' and the
Opening of the tram line at Bristol a
few weeks ago may be taken as the be
ginning of electric traction in England.
The side trolley, originated on the South
Staffordshire line and also used at Bris
tol. Is suid to have met with very fa
vorable reception, as it makes cross
wires unnecessary.

During the morning Rev. O. tl. Smith,
a former moderator, took the lloor and
gnvesome views which most Presbyter
ians do not believe in,
Mr. Smith, by his own statement,
believes In divine healing as taught by
Christian alliance. He said that after
twenty-three years of earnest work he
was broken down in health, and a can
cer begun to devrtop upon his hand.
Tfcls continued to grow and doctors
said It would kill him. Rut he had faith
and as a result showed his hand on
which was a scar, nil that was left of
the cancer. .
Since then ho hns been nn earnest be
liever in the doctrine of Christian alli
ance, and would not desist from Its
teachings, even If commanded to by
the assembly. He was willing to do
anything for the church, but could not
give up Ms teachings conscientiously.
I'pon motion of Dr. McLeod. It was re
solved that no action be taken In re
gard to the matter.
An appeal wits made for the Sumner
Avenue church of Scranton by A. W.
Dickson. The members are at present
laboring under great ditlicultlcs and
are unable to support their burden. A
committee was appointed to perfect the
title to the church and provide a means
of lowering its debt.
Several Italian preachers were given

.Milton Perry Loses His Life on the
titavitv Railroad.
A terrible accident occurred yester
day morning on the Gravity railroad
by which Milton Perry lost his life. The
peculiar manner In which the accident
happened makes It seem a.l the more
terrible. Xir. Perry was head brake
man on Conductor Piarce's train be
tween this place and Honesdale. The
train was on Its first trip ami all went
well until they reached u place near
I'wnnpton at about 7.40 o'clock, At the
spot there is a curve in the toad and
us the train came around it, it came in
contact with a loose wire. The wire
was used to support a telegraph pole
and the slake by which It was fastened
Ind become loosened, allowing it to
dui.gle i ver the track Just high enough
loicutch against the train. Mr. Perry
evidently suw the wire anil put the
brakes on. As he did so he uttempted
to dodge the wlre.but when the wire
struck the cur, insttud of hrtuklng. It
tore tin- heuvy stuke from the ground
and Hung It across the track. The front
nr was derailed by the stake, and the
shock threw Mr. Perry directly In front
of it, so that the bagguge car had
pussed over him before the train
stopped.
Mr. Perry was still alive when tin:
train hands rushed to his assistant".-,
but was pinned under the truck of the
second car. He was suffering terribly,
:ith his legs being nearly severed by
the wheels. By the use of Ja-'ks the tar
was raised and Mr. Perry released. In
the meantime a tdiysiclun had le.i
HUiimoned from Prompton, but he sn!d
Hi" unfortunate man was beyond hit
man nid, and he died two hours lat r.
Mr. Perry was unmarried and was .17
years of age. He was a great favorite
tvith nil the boys along the line, who
fei the loss very much. After being
prepared for buiiiil at Prpmpton. the
body was brought to this city and re
moved to his home. The deceased Is
survived by his 'larents, two sisters
and four brothers, Ml,:ss Josephine
and Cora. Kmersnn. William. Gaylorrl,
of Prompton; and Millard, who resides

TO Tl'SXEL PIKK'STfvlK.
A I'ony Llfiht Mile Hon J to Kurt Through
tho Mountains.
Yi.hln a few yeurs the Mont Cenls,
8t. (lothard and Slmplon tunnels un
der the Alps will not compare witn the
ono to lie constructed In Colorado.
A company hns undertaken to do 48
miles of tunneling under Pike's Peak
and the territory near by. It will begin
at Sunderland Creek, near Colorado
City, and run In a southwesterly direc
tion to a creek some distance beyond
Independence and Victor. It Is to be
built for a double track railway and
have the regulation dimensions of run
way tunnels, 14 feet wide and 18 high.
A branch line will leave the main tun
nel at a point under Independence and
run to Cripple Creek, placing that min
ing center within It) miles of Colorado
City. The distance between the two
Is by rail at present B4 mllun.
The two mouths of tl.e main tunnel
are to have the same altitude, 6.800 feet,
and the grade of the tunnel will be one
foot to the 100, enough to drain It well.
This will give the divide an altitude of
about 7,400 feet. The summit of Pike's
Peak Is 14.000 feet above the Bea and
Cripple Creek nearly 10.000. The plan
includes also laterals, or rross tunnels,
nt or under Crystal park and another
under Cameron's Cove. Tho longest ono
will cut tho mr.ln line not far from
Hald mountain, and run under thnt
peak In one direction and under the
summit of Pike's Peak In the- other.
The cross tunnel will be over IB trills
long. Then another tunnel Is to con
nect thlH cross arm with the main line,
Joining the latter near the south and (ho
branch In the west side of Pike's Pea'c.
It will run under the mining camp of
Clllott and not far from Grassy.
The amount needed for the tunnel
work Im $200,000,000. A contruct now In
escrow In' Colorc.do City requires that
the work shall be commenced within
DO CayH. Tho Intention Is to have 48
miles tunneled And the main line tn op
trcttrr. before March 1, 1906.
