In constructing the first cable road, Clay street hill, San Francisco, the Gardner tube, and above described principles of the Hallidie grip, together with the Beauregard grip jaw, were adopted, with modifications and improvements. The second road constructed was on \\ \ Sutter street, San Francisco, and this differed somewhat in detail from the line on Clay street hill. The general arrangement of the grip was considered so satisfactory that it was afterwards adopted on nearly every road in San Francisco, and this grip, with other improvements, was designed by Mr. Asa E. Hovey, the engineer of the road, who has for the past sis years been connected with the Chicago roads. To San Fraucisco belongs the credit of operating the first street surface cable road; yet Philadelphia, by the invention of Gardner, must be accredited with the tube or conduit. But beyond question the undertaking in Chicago was attended with the greatest risk, as it had always been supposed that such a road could not be successfully operated in a cold climate. To Mr. Holmes we must concede great foresight, and to him the cable road owes advancement and superiority of construction as well. When the Chicago roads were projected, there were but sixteen

It will be seen by reading the interviews, that the expressions were unanimous and enthusiastic in favoring ltd'/ that system after the most careful, critical Inspec- tion. The Vice President of the road, Mr. Sander- son, furnished valuable Information relative to cost, detailed expenditures, working expenses, etc., which, * of course, was not intended for publication but is £x^>, &4 wp- valuable as data on which to base estimates. Without exception the gentlemen of the party were perfectly delighted with the system and all expressed themselves as being entirely satisfied as to Its practicability. On the way home the Call representative, who accompanied the excursionists, secured the following expressions demonstrating the truth of the above expressions:

Mr. Pancake—It Is better than I thought and good for a long run. The important point is the cost but I believe this Is the best plan for operating street railway lines that I have heard of. I am of the opinion that a similar line to Steelton would pay from the word go. and so Mr . Litch, of Steelton—It's a great success far as Steelton Is concerned I approve of it heartily. I see no objection to the system and It is certainly a great Improvement over horses. I see none of the objertlons noticeable in the Baltimore line in this sys tern. Cars run smoothly and with perfect safety. I bid the Harrlsburg project God speed.

C alder—I was very much delighted with the way the road was conducted. Electricity will certainly prove to be the motive power of the future. M. R. Allbman, of Steelton—Was delighted with what I have seen and if the line In operation at Scranton pays, there is no trouble in the world with the Steelton line. I will certainly Increase my stock subscription and will assist In securing other subscribers. C. A. Green, M. D.—I believe we should use every effort to start a similar enterprise. I have no doubt that It will pay In a reasonable time. David C. Cunkle—The Scranton line runs smooth and is certainly a great enterprise. A. G.

Besides indicating upon its face, the fares as the alarm is rung, this register indel ibly records them as well as the trips made upon a paper dial inside. This paper dial is removed at the end of the day and is a correct report of the fares registered each trip and the number of trips made, which cannot be altered or obliterated. We therefore claim our system of registering fares to be the simplest and best, and it positively stops any collusion between employees.

IMPORTANT DECISION.

The Standard Register is now free from all claim of infringement, and can be used by the Railroad Com- panies without fear of suit.

TO STREET RAILWAY OFFICIALS:

The improvements in the Standard Index & Register which have heen applied to those in

use on various railroads of the United States during- the past year, and which have met with so

much favor, particularly the apparatus for setting the trip-hand to zero, have been the subject

of another action by the Railway Register Manufacturing Co., who claimed that the last men-

tioned was an infringement of the Benton Patent of July 4, 1882, and thereupon moved in the

United States Circuit Court for a decision accordingly. Arguments were heard by the court in

this city, on the 9th March, resulting in a decree on the 12th March in favor of the users of the

Standard Index & Register.

We give below the decision of the court in full.

Yours respectfully,

THE SIMPLEST, THE MOST EFFECTIVE, AM) liY FAR THE MOST ECONOMICAL METHOD OF OPERATING STREET RAILWAY CARS BY ELECTRICITY IS BY MEANS OF THE OVERHEAD CONDUCTOR. THE EXPERIENCE OF FIVE YEARS

Has demonstrated tlat Street Railway Cars, propelled by Electric Motors, taking their supply of electricity from one or more Elevated Conductors, are an unqualified success. ^ AfiOTO TII1{KE TIMES ns Hindi per car per mile to run with HOUSES. I I IX I V : TWICE ns much pi r car per mile to run with ELECTRIC ACCIIMULATOBS. I I UUU I W [ONE-HALF MOKE per car per mile to run with an ELECTRIC CONDUIT SYSTEM.

The inventions and patents controlling the essential features of the methods of supplying electricity to electric motors upon moving vehicles, by means of a traveler or rolling contact running upon an overhead conductor, are now united under one ownership. The Overhead Conductor is comparatively inexpensive. It is quickly erected. It is not necessarily unsightly. It does not waste electric energy. It does not easily get out of order.

THE CONNELLY MOTOR. PATENTED.

No Fire! No Smoke! No Oust! No Ashes! No Fireman! No Engineer! Complete within Itself! Generates its own Power! Perfectly Inde- pendent! Can run on any Track! No Cables, "grips" or expensive conduits. No "Central Station" for generating power. No loss of power in transmission. No dangerous Electric currents. No tearing up of streets for repairs. No suspension of traffic for repairs.

It excels all other motors in ECONOMY and CONTROLLABILITY, and stands alone in its INDIVIDUALITY. It carries a supply of fuel for a day's run, and consumes but ONE GALLON OF NAPHTHA PER HOUR. The daily expense of operating a road with these motors IS IN EXACT PROPORTION TO THE NUMBER OF MOTORS IN USE, which cannot he said of any Cable or Electric system. The cost of equipping a road with them is about ONE-HALF the cost of any Electric system, and less than ONE-FOURTH the cost of any Cable system. The cost of operating, including Fuel, Lubrication, Care, Repairs and Royalties, will not exceed $2.00 per day, being about HALF the cost by Cable or Electricity. Any road can adopt these motors without making any change in their system, without in- terruption to their business, and without risking any investment in special plant, as a few motors can be put into use along with the Horse-cars, and the number gradually increased. All companies desiring to abandon the use of horses should examine fully into the merits and peculiar advantages of our system, before making any contracts, as it is the only system that can be applied with equal economy on both large and small roads. All parties interested in street or suburban roads are requested to correspond with us.

STREET CAR SEATS & BACKS THREE-PLY CAR SIDES. Having given our three ply white wood car sides a thorough trial for a number ot years In our city street and railway lines, which test has left them as firm and good as the day they were put In, we unhesitatingly place these sides in the market as a superior article. They are composed of three white wood (or

' poplar) veneers, each ; a Inch thick, the grain of the center layer running at right angles with the two outside layers. Hence they derive all the special and well- known advantages of glued up wood over single ply, namely

1 st. They are fully 75 per cent stronger, for they brace and stiffen the car. 2nd. They are lighter, being only 3-8 inch thick, and so do ^ot add so much dead weight to the car. MAIN PANEL. 3rd. They will not check or split by change of atmosphere, 3-\ In. w.w. 4th. They will not split or crack when nailing into place , even though the nail be placed near the edge. 5th. Being laid over a form to suit the shape of the car frame or post they cannot buckle or twist, a feature which also adds strength to the car. For repairing cars these sides have no equal. Our Three Ply Car Seats and Backs, so well known all over the world, are now the most popular seat and hack In the market, and recommend themselves especially for their Lightness, Cleanliness, Hcalthfulness and Beauty, as FOOT PANEL. also their Cheapness and Durability. For they are indestructible by moths (the vermin or insects, S-.'sln. W.W. great enemy of upholstering), and will not harbor or carry or communicate contagion or disease. Our trade In this line has grown In thirteen years to vast proportions, which in Itself Is a sufficient guarantee of their merits. They are made either perforated or plain to suit customers. Birch is the wood most generally used. Today fully one-half the railroads In the country are using these seats and backs. We would also call attention to our Veneer Ceiling for cars. They are made either plain, perforated or decorated, and greatly add to the beauty of the car. For repairing cars they have no equal; for they are placed over the carllnes and cover all the old paint and wood work. The woods generally used are Birch, Birdseye Maple, Oah and Mahogany.
