Two of the wires are hung, ss it were, by means, of metal arms from the top and third wire. This number of wires is required because of the method of operation of the troll carriage. It siserns queer at first to of a trolley line being operated with the wires in this position, when tha fact is considered that there is to be Ten Cents more than one trolley carriage, and mailing and post that, therefore, the wires must be utilized by vehicles going in different directions. It is simple enough, however, for the trolley of the car going north Is attached to one wire, and that of the car going south to the other. One great difficulty to be faced In the operation of these trolley carriages was how two vehicles could pass each other, even, though other trolleys might, be attached to different wires, without becoming entangled.

By making this double cable from which the wires run from ths carriage to the circuit wire flexible, it became possible for the motonier to so manipulate the trolley as to pass over that the vehicle coming toward it. From the facts given, the method of operation can be understood, it always being borne in mind that one oi! the two vrfres brings l.he current wJHila the other acts as a return wire for the current's escape. Oddly enough, when it comes to the propelling of the carriage the principle of the operation of the bicycle is exactly reversed. The power first reaches the forward wheels under which is located the motor. The vehicle is sneered by means of a lever located near the motor, and which.

It is declared by the inventor, is the safest steering apparatus ever designed for any motor vehicle whatsoever. A single motion of the foot will start or stop the carriage, and the brake is of the same sort used on the huge road wagons that one sees. The present carriage in use is rather clumsy, for the reason that it was originally built to accommodate a storage battery, but the interior will be entirely remodeled and the whole made lighter and more easy running. In fact, it is the intention to make the trolley carriage run as smoothly the ordinary private affair. It is almost absolutely noiseless.

It is very speedy, making a mile now in three minutes. IL responds very quickly to the movement of the steering apparatus, and has none of the jerky motion that characterizes the auto- mobiles when a quick movement or turn, is attempted. If the experiment succeeds eventual- ly.as there is every indication that it will.the gemtlemen who intend manufacturing the trolley carriage have assurances that the supply will ha.ve to be rather extensive in order to meet the demand. In Greenwich, for Instance, It his never been possible to secure consent to build a trolley line, much as some rapid method of 'transportation was needed There Is no objection whatever to this, and there ia no doubt that there are many other places where the same situation axistj. and within thirty minutes Rutz and Beck revived Decher directed his attention to Charles Rutz, who lay as though dead.

He was rubbed and rolled over the floor, and two hours later could talk, although unable to walk for some time.

It was a warm afternoon and Allison lounged In the dining room of the National Hotel, eating hla dinner. Suddenly there was a alight commotion outside, and a big Mexican, resplendent with silver and braid and lace, stalked Into the dining room. Allison apparently paid no attention to him as he walked to the table where the marshal wae Bitting end took the chair opposite. "You killa my brothers, but now I killa you," he called out, raising a big bore revolver above the tables edge.

A loud report followed these words, and a body sprawled on the floor. The Mexican dead. Allison had shot under the table before the Mexican could pull the trigger. Tho body was removed, and Allison and the other guests resumed their dinn-er. It waa only another Gnjaser killed, and a Greasser's life didn't count for much in the palmy of Flagstaff.

Allison had no thought of getting away. It was a fair and square killing, and the law had no business to Interfere. However court was In session not thirty yard's from the hotel, and Judge Dunkins waa new to the bench and to the social customs of the place. He heard of. the shooting as court convened for the afternoon session, and immediately issued a benrti warrant for Allison on the charge of murder.

The sheriff did; bis duty and then walked along with Jim close at his heels. The judge was on the bench as the twain entered the courtroom, but DO case was on trial. Jim Allison marched through the crowd with his rifle under his arm, ready to present and fire at a moment's notice, and took T'TT, to matte a his place before the Judge. and wh'en doiae that, I'll "What's the meaning of every leaf on it turn into a five the self 'just "as" well as the next one, generally a little better.

Among the unsuccessful attempts was that which cost the life of an artist soldier, a Frenchman, who was confined in Fort Loaveaworth prison. The young man is said to have been a member of one of the old noble families of France. Before coming to tha United States ho had studied paint- Ing under the best masters in Europe, and several of hie pictures had been exhibited in the Paris salons and received honorable mention.

His character, however, was not sufficiency strong to enable him, to withstand the temptations of the Quarter, and from a harmless roysterer of the studios he degenerated Into a confirmed absinthe fiend. His habit got him into all sorts of scrapes, mostly of a check-toting character, which It required all of the influence of his people to get him out of Finally, having practically given him up as hopeless, his people shipped him to the United States with a good- sized letter of credit, and strict injunctions not to return to France until he 'felt certain that he could conduct himself like a man among men. In New York the young man continued his allegiance to the insidious green liquor until he awoke one morning to find himself without a dollar. so he decided to take a brace, and did.

Then he went back to absinthe. The service was irksome to him, and hs required consolation. Ta absinthe got him into a peck of trouble. First he lost his stripes and chevrons; then he ten days in the guardhouse, then thirty days, and finally three the sentence of a general court-martial. Upon his release after this last guardhouse term, he promptly deserted.

At this time the reward paid for the capture of a deserter was $60. The French soldier artist was taken by one of the "hounds" (army term), who made a business of the thing, in Cheyenne, within a week after he had jumped his post The general court martial sentenced him to a three-year term at the Fort Leavenworth military prison. He was a tractable prisoner, and was therefore sent out with working parties, who kept within restricted limits, without the guarding of sentries. One morning, after he had been confined for three months, he, with a number of otier unguarded prisoners, was engaged in repairing the cobble pavement in the alley running back of the prison. The ash cart, filled to overflowing with a load of fine wood ashes, and manned by three convicts, came 'along, unguarded, as usual.

The Frenchman saw chance. He exchanged the merest glance with tie convicts in of the ash cart; they understood him. They shoveled off "about half the load from the dray of ashes in a twinkling, and the Frenchman jumped in and laid down in the hollow thus formed, fastening his mouth to a crack in. the dashboard for air. Tha ash cart convicts then covered him up completely with the ashes they had shoveled from the dray.

The dumping for the post ashes was in a little woodland hollow, a couple of hundred yards from the prison gate. It was the business of a guard stationed at the prison gate to jam a pitchfork into the ashes as the cart halted at the gate, to prevent just such an escape as the French youth '-ras; engaged in executing. But the guard ai toe gate had not done this for several weeks. The prisoners had noticed it and talked about it. Therefor the young Frenchman's scheme looked well.

The driver started his mule for dumping ground, the two attending convicts following with stolid countenances at the rear of the cart. The driver drew up as usual at the expecting next from, the guard to pass on. But It happened that on that morning the tuartl was in a penitential frame of inind oxer his previous neg- lectfullnees.
