The Baltimore Sun from Baltimore, Maryland • 12

THE BALTIMORE, TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 12, 1902. 12 DEPENDS ON HARFORD OARS ON SINGLE RAIL IN AND ABOUT TOWN Almanac For Baltimore This Day IS WHAT HE EXPECTED Says Vice-President Landstreet Of W. M. Opposition. as on the bicycle.

Mr. Tunis has been using gasoline as fuel, bat found it so volatile and risky that he decided to substitute coal oil. The cost, he says, is not more than about 10 cents per hour, and the four horsepower suffices to send the car along at a 15-mlle clip. Overcoming: Friction. One remarkable feature of the monorail system, Mr.

Tunis says, Is the reduction of friction. Although be used steel-cast wheels that had not been chilled, he found the bumping far less pronounced than on a trolley car with the best trucks. The brake mechanism is very simple, and one man could run the car with ease, though Mr. Tunis apprehends that the law would require him to employ two. The experimental car Is about 25 or 30 feet long, while the permanent equipment would somewhat exceed these dimensions and, as stated above, have double trucks.

Steel is to be used even for the sides and other parts, wood being reduced to a minimum. The size of the engine and boiler would be increased sufficiently to give the car a speed of 60 miles an hour, and the exhaust steam would be discharged info the heaters along the sides, effecting an additional saving. Maintaining: The Perpendicular. One of the most important features in the monorail system, of course, is the guides that keep the car perpendicular on the track. Mr.

Tunis had at first Intended to employ iron pulleys, but after pondering long over this problem decided to use blocks Instead. He argues that a pulley, being stationary and suddenly set in motion by a car going at the rate of GO miles an hour, would cause much friction. He found in practice that blocks slightly curvlngtoward the bents at both ends so as to avoid jar would answer the purpose much better, and that even wood might be profitably applied, as the wear Is inconsiderable. Shuttle-Like Device. The blocks are fastened to the cross-pieces overhead so as to catch the side of a shuttle-like projection on the flat roof of the car.

This projection runs toward a point at each end, is formed of yellow-pine planking about five or six inches high, and is rendered peculiarly pliable or elastic by means of springs and braces on the inside, so that it readily adapts itself to every curve. When the weight of the car Is 4 rat ft'f I 4 Ph 4 FOR A GENERAL MOVE-UP Chance Of Promotion In Police Department Reviewed. Police and political circles are now interested in the race for the deputy mar-shalship. So far there are only two avowed candidates for the places Capt. George G.

Henry, of the Western, district, and Capt. James Manning, of the Northeastern district. Both of them have expressed their Intention to take the examination, which will be held Thursday afternoon. The appointment of either captain as deputy marshal will, of course, leaTe a vacancy In that rank. There are at present nine lieutenants on the eligible list for appointment to a captaincy.

They are in the order In which they stand: ALBERT LEAGUE, of the police boat Lannan. R. D. CARTER, of the Northwestern district. G.

N. EVANS, of the Southern district. JOHN J. FULLEM, of the Central district BASIL L. WELLENER, of the Northeastern district.

J. D. COLLINS, of the Southern district. WILLIAM KALBFLEISCBT, of the Western district. THOMAS F.

DEMPSET, of the Northern district. M. B. ROWE, of the Western district. Of these It Is said that the two most likely to secure such an appointment are Lieutenants Fullem, of the Central, and Demp-sey, of the Northern.

Both have long and honorable careers to their credit and have a host of friends. Lieutenants Wellener, of the Northeastern, and Evans, of the Southern, are also said to be in line of promotion. In fact, the list is made up entirely of first-class material, and the board will probably have some difficulty in making a selection. On the eligible list for lieutenants are only two men Round Sergeant James T. Casey, of the Eastern, and Charles Mc-Clean, of the Southern.

McClean is a Republican, the only avowed Republican in the department above the rank of sergeant, and, therefore, he is regarded as an impossibility. Round Sergeant Casey is said to be a likely candidate, but the chances of several others are considered better. For reason another examination will probably be held shortly after the examination for deputy marshal. It is whispered that Round Sergeants Strott and McGovef both of the Central district, will put up a stiff fight for the plum. Both men are excellent officers, with a long record of good work.

For round sergeant, Sergeant Frank Parr, of the Central district, who figured prominently in the capture of John-Devine, the negro slayer of Patrolman Donohue, now under sentence of death, is said to stand i i'nmtrfa WILLIAM H. WATSON PLEASED WITH THE PURCHASE "We Are Going Right Along "With Our Original Plans And Are Not Worrying," He Adds. Mr. F. S.

Landstreet, vice-president of the Western Maryland Railroad, arrived in Baltimore yesterday afternoon and regis tered at the Stafford. Mr. Landstreet's visit is in connection with the execution of the plans for the ex tension and development of the road. He stated to a reporter for The Sun that no one Interested in the road and its connec tion with the Gould system is ready yet to dlscufcs the plans for the future or what is now being done. "We are going right along with our orig inal plans," said Mr.

Landstreet, "and are not allowing ourselves to be worried by any obstacles we may meet We do not care to say anything about them, because it has from, the beginning been our determl nation to let the other fellow do all the talking. As far as any diversion of freight from the Western Maryland to the Cum berland Valley by the Baltimore and Ohio goes, we presume that they know wnat they are doing, and they have a perfect right to do what they please. Mr. Landstreet was asked if the amount of traffic said to be diverted would be any very serious consideration when the plans of the Gould interests are consummated. "No," replied Mr.

Landstreet, "and we are not worrying over It. We are just as well satisfied with our purchase as we ever were, and I think that perhaps we saw more clearly into Its possibilities than any of those who were bidding against us. When first entered the field it was intimated pretty clearly to us What kind of opposition we would meet with, and wa have not found it any worse than was anticipated." MESS. GILL HUNTING BIG GAME Baltimore Roys Are Ronghing It In Wyoming Mountains. Mr.

Howard W. Gill, of Roland Park, is a month's hunting trip in the Far West. He left Rawlins, with his brother, Glllet, and three friends last Monday week. This party is reported in Rawlins to be better equipped for hunting In its outfit than any party that ever left that place. They are well supplied with heavy rifles for the big game they expect to find in Jackson's Hole, which in on the other side of Yellowstone Park, and is the finest hunting and fishing grounds In North America.

Mr. Gill writes his first letter from Camp Lander, from which the following is an extract: "Everything is going great and our party now made up: Taylor, Gillet, Joe Ryan, fellow who worked on the stage; Guy Kignor, Curtis, who is great, and myself seven in all. "Our outfit grew to such large proportions vre had to get another wagon, so it now consists of a six-horse coach, a two-horse spring wagon and three saddle horses, and one more we expect in the Indian camp. Two horses which we had counted on had disappeared Into the hills and could not be caught; but, as it is, we have plenty. "Wo are at present camped Just out of County Will Settle Mr.

Talbott's Fight For Nomination. CONTENTION MAY CAUSE A TIE The Veteran Candidate From Lath-erville Regrarded As Being Sure Of The Two City Wards. Democratic politicians believe that upon the action of the Harford County Convention, which meets in Belair at noon today to choose five delegates to the Havre de Grace convention, at which a Democratic candidate for Congress In the Second district is to be nominated, will decide the fight which Mr. J. Fred C.

Talbott is making to become the nominee of his party. Friends of Mr. Talbott In the city yesterday claimed that his supporters have control of the First, Fourth and Sixth us-tricts of the county, while it is conceded that the Second, Third and Fifth districts selected anti-Talbott men to the convention today. Thus, as matters now stand, when the convention assembles at noon there will be 30 delegates who want to send a Talbott delegation to Havre de Grace and 3C who favor an unpledged delegation, with the distinct understanding that it Is One side or the other must give way, and the Talbott people assert that four out of the six districts of Harford will line up for their candidate, and that the delegation which the county sends to Havre de Grace will have at least two Talbott votes. Opponents of Mr.

Talbott claim that an unbroken anti-Talbott delegation will be sent to the nominating convention with Instructions to use every honorable means to secure the nomination of any other man than Mr. Talbott. Harford, it is claimed, will have no real candidate of its own, realizing the impossibility of securing the nomination for him, but that its delegation will go prepared to effect the nomination of Mr. Fink by a combination with the Carroll county delegates. In The City Wards.

Should Mr. Talbott, as his friends contend, secure the votes of the Harford delegation, it would at once settle the contest and the fight in the city wards would be praetically off. It is now clear that Mr. Fink Is making the most of his fighting in tne Kixteentn ward, and has succeeded in centering all the forces opposed to Mr. Talbott there around his banner.

Cam paign clubs have been established and Fink emblems flung to the breeze. In the Fifteenth ward it is not thought that there is much chance of besting Mr. Talbott, and his friends confidently claim the ward as certain. In the Sixteenth ward the organization forces admit that they have a fight on their hands, but indignantly deny that any effort has been made to secure aid from the friends of Mayor Hayes, or that any combination has been entered into there. In the other ward It Is a noticeable fact that the conspicuous Hayes men of the ward are out and out in favor of "Mr.

Talbott. The chances are that Mr. Talbott will secure the three votes of these two wards in the convention, backed as he is by the city organization. This, with the seven from Baltimore county, will give him 10 votes, or just half the total number. Thus it can easily be seen that if today his friends succeed in securing just one vote of the five which Harford county will send to Havre de Grace his nomination is assured.

On the other hand, if, as the Fink forces and anti-Talbott people claim, a solid anti-Talbott delegation is sent to the convention, then a deadlock is inevitable, and a compromise candidate will 'be the result. Who this would be is difficult to forecast, although several names have been mentioned, among them Col. D. G. Mcintosh, of Baltimore county; Mr.

Willard Rouse, of Harford county, and others. The Two Town Districts. In the Third and Fourth Congressional districts matters are at a standstill, although within the next week all candidates of both parties will have to come to the front and deposit their $25 with the Supervisors of Election. The last day on which this can be done Is the 19th of the month, 15 days before the primaries, and unless a candidate has made his deposit by that time his name will not go on the ticket. Dp to date Mr.

S. S. Field, who has announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination In the Fourth district, Is the only one to deposit the necessary $25. The talk of Mr. Archibald H.

Taylor entering the fight was renewed yesterday, and some of his friends claimed that he would in all probability be in the field. Among the Republicans the name of Mr. David M. New-bold, who was a candidate for the nomination two years ago, when Mr. Schirm secured the nomination, is being mentioned, but the prospects of his making a fight so late in the game are not considered bright.

However, the Crawford county system, under which the primaries will be conducted, practically leaves the doors open for candidates up to the very last moment. Mr. Sproesser Means To Stay. President Albert M. Sproesser, of the First Branch City Council, who is a candidate for the Republican nomination in the Third district against Congressman Wachter, said yesterday: "I am a candidate for the nomination and purpose to remain one.

I am in this fight to stay, and my friends need have no fear of my pulling out. So far as the situation in the district is concerned it is en tirely satisfactory to me, and I believe that I will win out." The conference between Senator McCo-mas, Collector of the Port Stone and Mr. Sproesser at the Continental Building last Friday was a fruitful subject of conversation among politicians yesterday, and there was much speculation as to what it meant. Mr. Sproesser declined to discuss the matter and friends of Senator McComas say that the conference was not proposed by the Senator.

The fact that Collector Stone was present led many to believe that the meeting had been brought about by this gentleman, who is strongly in favor of the renomlnation of Mr. Wachter. CONFIDENT OF WINNING Rev. Mr. Stahbs' Friends Making Plans At Present.

The idea of reviving the congregation of old St. Andrew's Protestant Episcopal Church in this city, which, it is said, has been proposed with a view to giving Rev. F. H. Stubbs a new pulpit, and thereby permanently terminating the controversy at St.

John's, has not, say the rector's supporters, been seriously considered, as they feel confident that he will eventually win iu his contest with the vestry. It has been suggested that in the event of losing the fight. Rev. Mr. Stubbs adherents might unite with the remainder of St.

Andrew's congregation, and form a new High Church organization. Rev. Robert H. Gernand, assistant to Rev. Mr.

Stubbs. said last night that there was nothing in the report. The idea might possibly have been expressed by some individual, but no thought would be given It at this time, as ex-Gov. William PInkney Whyte had assured them that there is hardly any prospect of their losing. None of the St.

Andrew's congregation had discussed the matter as far as was known. A NVVTTM THE SICK He Is Black And, Police Say, Bent On The Police and Detective Departments are on the lookout for a negro sneak thief who is plying his trade In Baltimore with more or less success. The negro carries a grass sickle for effect, and goes from house to house, offering to cut the grass in the back yard very cheaply. Of course, his game is to steal whatever he can lay his handsonin passing through the house. The man has succeeded in several Instances.

He Is described as about five feet seven Inches tall, with dark-brown skin, and wore a light slouch hat, no coat, with a handkerchief tied around his jaw, probably with the object of disguising his appearance. AFTER BUSINESS, SlELONS St. Andrew's Society Arranges For Big Ho use war in in pr. At the quarterly meeting of the St. Andrew's Society last evening in St.

Andrew's Hall, McCulloh and Preston streets, the new home of the society, Messrs. John Aird, II. Kent McKay and Robert and John Hal-liday were admitted to membership. Nine applications were presented. It was announced that action on the new constitution will be taken at the next regular meeting.

Arrangements are now being made for the housewarming, which will take place some time in October, when the society Intends to surprise their friends by' showing them how elegantly and comfortably housed the organization is. Work on placing the hall in order is nearing completion. In the assembly room there are chairs for the president, vice-president and secretary. Scottish designs have been artistically burned on the backs by Miss Bernice Porter. Scottish designs also have been used in the whole scheme of decoration.

After the meeting last evening the members adjourned to the dining room, where watermelon was served. Mr. Ho-ward Hansel Tunis Has Invented New System. EXPERIMENTAL ROAD BUILT Oil Engines, It Is Claimed, Will Propel Cars Rapidly And Cheaply TJie Plans In Detail. If the expectations of Mr.

Howard Hen-el Tunis, a young Baltimore engineer, are realized the trolley and even the steam road will soon have a moat formidable rival and will find themselves hard pressed in the competition for business. In fact, Mr. Tunis claims such advantages for his system in point of cheapness with regard to construction and operation that unless he has greatly overestimated the value of his invention the older roads will be seriously handicapped in the race. He asserts that he is not only able to build a double-track road according to the plan laid down by him at the cost of a single-track standard-gauge steam line, but that he can maintain an efficient car service of high frequency at half the expense involved in the running of trolley cars. As is well known, the operation of trolley lines over long distances presents difficulties that have so far militated strongly against the- substitution of electricity for 6team and confined the activities of the trolley within relatively narrow limits as a feeder to the steam roads running through trains and as a developer of traffic between smaller towns in localities, and under circumstances that will not admit of locomotive-drawn tralnsbeingprofllably operated.

It is necessary to build central power stations at great cost, and the maintenance of the overhead construction, with Its heavy feed wires, is a constant source of expense. Furthermore and this is the most important drawback urged against the trolley electric cars are dependent upon the central station for their motive force, and a breakdown of the machinery disables the whole line. On steam roads every train represents an independent unit. An accident may occur, but this affects only a particular engine or car and in nowise impairs the efficiency of other units. The obstruction occasioned by the accident can be avoided by taking the other track, whereas a disarrangement of the powerhouse machinery throws the whole trolley service into confusion.

What Mr. Tunis Claims. Mr. Tunis claims for his system complete exemption from the defects referred to. Each car, with Its trailer (If one is attached), is wholly independent in its move inents of every other car, and the line resembles in Its essential features the steam roads with the exception that only one rail Is used, and that the cars, instead of having locomotives to pull them, contain the motive machinery in the forward compartment, being both passenger coach and entitle.

The idea of running cars on one rail is not new. Engineers have been at work on It for years and the principle is at present being applied in different ways. In Germany there is a road with the cars suspended from a trusswork and moving very much like the swinging doors of a barn or the pulley of a traveling crane. This method, though It seems to work well enough, calls for an outlay in construction which makes 5t practically prohibitive, the line being tantamount to an elevated railway for its entire length. Mr.

Tunis has set about solving the problem in a far different manner. His single rail Is laid Just like the tracks of steam and country trolley roads, on the ground. Over It at. fixed intervals are trusses, or bents, as he calls them. Joined by cross pieces at the top and supporting the guides which prevent the car from toppling over.

The car Itself also embodies some unique and Interesting features. It is narrower than the trolley or railroad car and rests on a single pair of wheels, or, in the full-elze coach, on two trucks of two wheels each arranged tandem under the center of the floor, the platform and superstructure being nicely balanced on them. As has already been stated, an engine at one end furnishes the motive power, sending the enr along at different speeds, according to the strength of the machinery and the size of the boiler, for steam is used, as on locomotives. Mr. Tunis claims the greatest possible economy in fuel consumption by avoiding loss either through the repeated conversion of one form of power into nnother.

as In the trolley, or through needless friction. Experimental Road. Mr. Tunis has built an experimental road of about 2,000 feet near his house, on Windsor Hills, overlooking Gwynn's Falls, one of the most romantic and picturesque spots around Baltimore, and i making dnlly tests to demonstrate the thorough practU cabillty of his ideas. The work done there, as might be supposed.

Is of a temporary character, but the young Inventor feels greatly encouraged, and expresses himself as confident of success. The correctness of his method, he says, has been established almost beyond peradventure of a doubt, and the only changes found necessnry so far hnve related to minor details, actual tests having shown the wisdom of devising new mechanical appliances to meet special exigencies. While in the permanent mono-rail system the trusses or bent are to be of steel, Mr. has used yellow pln. In fact, the entire overhead work is of this wood down to the guide blocks, and these latter have proved so satlsfnctory that the Inventor is not all sure about displacing them with metal.

Car Anil Single Rail. The car, also of wood, except the running gear and the engine, has fixed windows, for it would never do to afford opportunities for sticking out arms or heads, as the bents are as close as six inches to the slfles of the car. and there would be Imminent danger of decapitation or amputation. The car is nieelv balanced on the single rail, the wheels being of the grooved pattern. So accurately are the weights adjusted that a slight lurch of the body will sway the car from side to side.

Mr. Tunis snys at first some apprehension was expressed that In going around curves the centrifugal motion of the car would impose too grent a strain on the bents, but this fear has proved wholly groundless. By allowing for the centrifugal force by the slant toward the inner Fide of the circle which I accomplished on ordinary roads by raising the outr rail the weight Is thrntvn off the bents and approximately equalized. Mr. Tunis stated that although his experimental car weighs nearly half a ton, the pressure on the bents running on straight stretch of track Is not more than pound, and that even when rounding a curve the car can be swayed by one man, which shows that the balance is nearly always preserved.

The car doors open out on the side, one for every pair of seats, which fpee each r.tber, as In the Knropean railway carriage. When all the doors are closed an electric bell rings In the compartment of the engineer, and not until then Is thestartmade. Oil Knvlnr For Potver. The driving power la furnished by a four-horee-nower engine of the kind used on automobiles. It Is very compact and attached to the nearest trocfc by mans of a chain.

The drop was the beginning of a cool wave which has been benefiting the Middle West for a day or so, and which the weather man says will remain with Baltlmoreans for today, at least. The storm occurred after a of distressing humidity and a VO" temperature. It began about 3 o'clock, when the ofncUl thermometer registered 87 and the humidity was almost 100. The rain was most welcome, and was one of the cooling kind, .55 Inch strong. A 27-mile wind accompanied it, and the close, stnffy, muggy air, which has hung over the city for several days, was soon dispelled.

By 4 o'clock the thermometer at the Weather Bureau had scurried down to 72 and it was again comfortable. The maximum for the day came at 2 o'clock. Beginning with 74" at 6 o'clock in the morning, when it was comparatively cool from a shower about 4 o'elock, the mercury went up by jumps until 90 was reached. After the storm it ascended to 77 at 6 o'clock, but at 8 o'clock had fallen to 72 again. During the evening it went lower still.

All the East was cooler yesterday. A warmer wave settled down to business in the West, however, and it Is probable that this city will be reminded before long that it is yet summer. Charles Reiter, 60 years old, of 223 Scott street, an employe of the Leonhardt Wagon Manufacturing Company, of 418 Saratoga street, was overcome by the heat while at work yesterday afternoon. He was sent to tne iity Hospital in the Central district patrol wagon. Police And Husband Differ.

According to a report riled at the Southern Polue Station yesterday, Mrs. Marv Porst, 32 years of age, 51 East Randafl street, was severely burned about the face and neck early yesterday afternoon at home by gasoline in a kettle on the kitchen stove. Marie Bergen, 6 years of age, 21 East Barney street, who was visiting Mrs. Porst at the time, the report stated, was also painfully burned. The gasoline, it was said, had been mistaken for water.

Mr. Porst, when seen last night, declared that the kettle contained water and that the injuries were caused by scalding. Neither Mrs. Porst nor the child was seriously hurt. Protection Of Children In July.

The report for July of the Society for the Protection of Children was read at the meeting of the board of managers yesterday afternocu, at which Mr. John S. Hayes presided. During the month the society caused the arrest or assisted in the prosecution of five adults, charged with offenses against minors. Fifty-nine cases were Investigated, affecting 124 children, of whom 44 were removed from Improper surroundings.

Fifteen were placed in private families, while the others were received by various institutions. Patriotic Sons Convene Today. The seventh annual session of the State Camp of Maryland, Patriotic Sons of America, will begin this morning at 10 o'clock in Royal Arcanum Hall. A feature of the morning session will be the address of welcome which, it was announced last night, will be delivered by Acting Mayor Henry Williams. Officers for the ensuing year will be elected.

The session wil last two days, and action will be taken on the proposed amendments to the constitution. Seasickness Becomes Serions. Mrs. Vane, wife of Capt. A.

P. Vane, of the schooner Margaret H. Vane, and Rev. and Mrs. J.

Hammersly returned to Baltimore yesterday after a seasick experience on the schooner Vane, which started from New York last week. Mrs. Hammersly became so ill from seasickness after the Vane got off shore that Captain Vane had to transfer the three to a fishing smack and have them landed at Long Branch. They then made theirway to New York and came home. Mr.

Two Women Claim One Man. A woman calling herself Sadie Goodman appeared before Justice Garland, at the Eastern Police Station, yesterday to charge Abraham Goodman with bigamy. She said she believed herself to be the wife of the accused, and had lived with him until last week, when another woman called at her house, 213 South Eden street, and imparted the information that she had a prior claim upon the man. The latter, she said, when questioned, acknowledged that the unexpected caller had spoken the truth, and told Sadie that they hadn't been married at all, the ceremony performed at the time having been of a spurious character. Justice Garland dismissed the case on payment of costs, because Sadie could not prove that she had been married.

Fletcher, pastor of the Cathedral, announces that In accordance with the wishes, of Cardinal Gibbons, the preparations for the celebration of the Cardinal' silver jubilee, next October.have been abandoned. It is understood that the Cardinal was induced to take this step because of the large number of similar observances that have been celebrated recently. While there will be no formal celebration of the Cardinal's jubilee, it is likely that Catholic organizations from all parts of the country will send him some token of their esteem. His Eminence is spending the month of August at Narragansett Pier. MINARETS TO BE REBUILT Those On The Cathedral Have Stood Weather Nearly A Centnry.

The work of rebuilding the two minarets of the Cathedral has already commenced under the direction of C. Sheehan, builder. A scaffolding has been erected and the minarets, which have been much admired, will be torn down and new ones erected in their places. The tops of the old minarets were painted a dull red color, but it is the intention Rev. William A.

Fletcher, pastor of the Cathedral, to have the new ones gilded. This will add greatly to the exterior beauty of the stately old edifice. About a month ago the cross on the south minaret was blown down. Mr. Sheehan was ordered to repair the damage, but on examining the minarets he found both to be in a badly decayed condition.

Father Fletcher then gave directions for the complete rebuilding of both towers. The minarets have stood since the erection of the building, nearly a century ago, in 1806. Mr. Edward Berge, the young Baltimore sculptor, whose design for the portrait, statue of Lieut. William H.

Watson, which is to surmount the shaft to be erected through the efforts of the Association of Veterans of the Mexican War in honor of the Marylanders who fought in that war, was accepted by the Municipal Art Commission some weeks ago, as was announced in The Sun at that time, has completed the half-size figure In clay, and will begin in a few days on the figure from which the statue will be cast. The monument Is to be placed at the Intersection of Mount Royal avenue and Lan-vale street. The figure, which Is to be of bronze, will be 10 feet high, and is to surmount a pedestal of Maryland granite 22 feet high. The pedestal will consist of a circular base, with the lowest step broken by two mounts on opposite sides, one facing east and the other west, with old Mexican mortars. The shaft of the pedestal will be beautified by pilasters of modified Corinthian style, and will be completed by an ornamental cornice and cap.

The pedestal is to be constructed by the Guilford and Walkersville Granite Company. Messrs. Hodges Leach are the architects. Bronze tablets which will ornament the pedestal will be inscribed with the names of the Maryland men who fell in battle during the war with Mexico, and will contain also the list of engagements in which the LOOKS LIKE JOHN H. SVATEK Charles Reed Believed To Be Jfo-torioR Bohemian Bnrglar.

In the person of Charles Reed, who was arrested Sunday afternoon while robbing the gentlemen's furnishing store of George E. W. Hardy, at 16 East Fayette street. Marshal Farnan and Captain Schlelgh believe they have captured John H. Svatek, a notorious Bohemian burglar, for whose 3 4 CHARLES REED OR JOHN H.

SVATEK arrest the authorities of Delaware, Ohio, offer a reward of Svatek, alias John Stores, alias John Kinsley, has a long record of burglaries charged against him, and thrice escaped from imprisonment. While serving a three years' term in the Mansfield (Ohio) Reformatory several years ago Svatek took a spring out of the heel of his shoe and made three keys with which he unlocked his way to freedom. Previous to that time he had escaped from the Columbus (Ohio) Workhouse. On January 21, 1901, Svatek and a man named Holland broke into a hardware store at Delaware, Ohio. A few days later both were arrested in Cincinnati while trying to sell their plunder by Detectives Scheunck and Dwyer, of that city.

They were returned to Dela ware and on March 21 Svatek broke jail and was never recaptured. A photograph of Svatek, published in the Detectiye, a Chicago police paper, tallies minutely with Reed's appearance. Reed was taken to the Bureau of Identification In the Courthouse yesterday, where he was photographed and measured according to the Bertillon system by Sergeant Casey, chief of the bureau. The photograph and measurements will be sent to the Delaware authorities. Reed was committed to jail for court yesterday by Justice Fechtig.

Justice Fechtig and Captain Schleigh questioned him in the presence of a reporter of The Sun, but he maintained a sullen silence. All questions as to when he left Delaware, where he came from, where he lived, met with a defiant stare. As told in The Sun yesterday, Reed was captured in broad daylight by Patrolman Wild, of the Central district, and Sergeant Zehner In the store. Liquor License Revolted. The Board of Liquor License Commissioners yesterday revoked the license granted Frederick Hymes last June for the sale of liquor at the Continental Hotel, 1 and 3 West Pratt street.

The license was granted to Hymes upon the condition that he would allow none of those formerly connected with the place to have anything to do with It. This condition was made because of complaints against the hotel. The testimony of Police Captain Ward and other officers showed that Roy E. Ben-jamln formerly in charge of the hotel, had continued his connection with it, being seen behind the bar the day Hymes was granted the license. There was also before the board an affidavit of Joseph A.

Chaney, of Bristol, stating that he had been robbed of $290 In the hotel by a woman on August 7, and he thought he had been drugged. Local Atmosphere.

The shuttle, as well as the car, will admit of the use of metal as the component material. According to the inventor, the provisions for safety are ample. The shuttle is always between at least two guide blocks and often between three, the bents being about 15 feet apart on curves and from 18 to 20 feet, on straight stretches. The outer side of the shuttle Is kept well greased so as to slide smoothly. To lessen wind pressure and for other reasons the car narrows somewhat at the end.

Finishing Toncb.es Today. Until last week only about 1,000 feet of the experimental track had been laid, but au extra force of men was put to work and the line was doubled in length. The alignment was also much improved and the rail is now in good condition. Mr. Tunis, who is giving every detail his personal attention, says that a rail weighing 60 pounds per yard is sufficiently heavy to answer every purpose, the outlay for grading and other work being, of course, in proportion.

With a line between Baltimore and Washington, and the cars running 60 miles an hour, he feels confident of maintaining a 10-minute schedule at a rate of fare far below that charged by the existing roads. It Is expected that the finishing touches to the trial railway will be put on today; To Bnild Roads. As soon as the experiments now in progress have fully demonstrated every feature of his invention, construction on several VI1W roads in the State is to be commenced, the financial arrangements having already been completed.
