Central Railroad Stock.
Despite the dullness which has character
ized the monetary circles for the last week,
recent events have infused new life into the
seeurttv market and Central Railroad stock
yesterday showed a very bullish feeling,
the temper of the market being decidedly
in favor of higher prices. Notwithstand
ing the fact that the. money market, though
not stringent, was anything but easy. Cen
tral advanced from 100% to 102% bid, 103
asked. Some three hundred shares
changing hands. Central R&liiroad
debentures have awakened from a lethargy,
there being some demand yesterday, and
about $13,000 worth wtre bought by inves
tors. We see no reason for lower figures for
Central Railroad stock, as the outlook is
very encouraging. The company have the
pros pec* before them of steadily increasing
earnings and an assured heavy traffic for the
coming season. They have in view all the
freights that they have facilities to accom
modate, and the through freights, which are
not affected by the rates of the Railroad
Commission, it is anticipated, will be the
largest evtr carried by the company, so that
necessarily there will be a large Increase in
the net earnings of the company. The
market closed yesterday quite buoyant.
Compliment to * Savannah Ama
teur.
The friends of Mr. James F. Neill, a popu*
lar Savannah amateur and member of the
Ford Dramatic Association, who recently
entered the profession, will be pleased to
learn that he has fully realized the expecta
tions that were entertained of him. A let
ter from Paterson, N. J., dated the 3d, re
ceived In this city, which we have been
shown, says:
"Mr. James F. Neill, as ‘Jack Hartley’
In ‘Only a Farmer’s Daughter,’ made a great
hit at this place on Saturday evening last,
September 2d. The company played to a
SSOO house, ar.d the play was received with
much favor by an appreciative audience.
Mr. Neill has done so well in his part that
Mr. Joseph Frank, the m inager of the com
pany, showed an appreciation of his talent
by giving him a leading society part in
Bartley Campbell’s ‘‘A Dangerous Woman.”
This is anew play, and will be produced
for the first time by this company at Mon
treal, Canada, on Friday night next, the
Bth. The company play lo- morrow (Thurs
day) night at Burlington, Vt.”
A Calvert Washed Away on the
Central Kallroad.
The delay of the passenger train on the
Central Railroad, due at 7:15 a. m. yester
day, caused some apprehension that an ac
cident had occurred on the line of the road.
The reachei the city at 11:30, and it
was found that the delay was caused by the
washing away of the culvert at the
mile post, about two miles this side of Mil
len, on Wednesday night, during a heavy
local rain in that section. Both the up and
the down trains were consequently delayed
until the break was repaired, which was
promptly done, and trains arc now running
both ways. No other damage has been re
ported on the line.

The many friends of Mr. H. B. Plant, the
president of the Savannah, Florida and
Western Railway, who recently returned to
New York from an extended tour of Eu
rope, will be glad to learn that he is in
gplendid health. Mr. Plant is so largely
identified with the development of the rail
road systems of Georgia and Florida, and
algo with those of the Atlantic and Gulf,
that his name is known and recognized
throughout the entire South as that of one
of the most prominent railroad officials and
capitalists iu the country.

A FOOLISH JOKE.
How False Reports Are Circulated.
As we stated In yesterday’s issue, the fact
exists that rumors and reports damaging to
the business interests of Bavannah are pre
valent In the country. How such reports
have gained circulation has become a ques
tion of serious importance to our people, for
they very materially affect every interest,
and seriously touch our business life at the’
present time. The case before the Mayor
pro ten. in the Police Court yestf rday morn
ing, concerning which brief mention has
been made, Illustrates the importance and
care that should Influence our people In
using unguarded expressions calculated to
create false impressions, and accounts for
the various rumors prevailing in the country
In reference to the health of Bavancah.
Upon Information conveyed to Dr. Mc-
Farland, the Health Officer of the city,
that a certain young man had pub
licly and positively asserted in the
presence of other citizens that’ there
existed yellow fever In the city, the Doctor,
on the affidavit of Mr. W. Tyson, had the
gentleman summoned before the Mayor’s
Court to answer a charge of falsely and
maliciously circulating a report detrimental
to the public welfare, and injurious to the
property of the citizens of Savannah.
Yesterday morning the ycung man refer
red to, appeared b-fore Alderman Doyle,
Mayor pro tern , and an Investigation into
the matter was had. From the evidence of
several witnesses, the fact was established
that the young man, In a pub'ic place,
did make the assertion that yellow fever
existed here.
On being called upon to answer, he said,
that the statement made by one of the wit
nesses was correct; that meeting witness in
a store in the city, witness remarked he was
not feeling well; when he said, “You ain’t
getting yellow fever,are you?” Witness said
rohim, “There is no yellow fever in the city is
there?” Upon which he replied, “Oh yee.ther
Is a case just round the corner.” The young
man (whose mme we omit on this account
alone, with the hope that it will prove a lee
son to him) stated that all this was simply In
way of a joke.and that he afterwards correct
ed his remarks to the witness,which was cor
roborated by the witness himself.
There Is no: the slightest doubt that from
circumstances just like the one above shown,
inconsiderate and indiscreet expressions
find an echo, and among the unthinking
and timid are spread, and grow as they cir
culate, Inflicting damage on the community.
As there appeared from the evidence to
have been no willful or malicious pur tied
upon the part of the young man who sta
the report, he was given tbe benefit of his
statement that he was merely joking with
his friend, and the matter was dropped
after he had received a very earnest lecture
from the acting Mayor.
It is needless to add that the health of the
city wa6 never better than now. There is
no fever in the city, and there has not been
the slightest suspicion of a case of yellow
fever either in the city or at quarantine
during the summer. Of this fact our friends
in the Interior may be well assured.

The convention reassembled yesterday
morning at the court bouse at nine o’clock,
pursuant to adjournment. The delegates
appeared refreshed and In excellent spirits
after their good night’s rest In the Forest
City, and were pretty prompt in attendance.
Tbe convention was called to order a few
minutes past nine by the President, Major
W. A. Wilkins, who announced that the
first business in order was the balloting for
candidates, and the roll of the counties was
called. The convention adjourned on the
thirteenth ballot, and the ball was opened
with a call on the fourteenth ballot, which
was as follows:

Thirly third Rallot —Black 16, Warren 19,
Nicholls 11.
Thirly-fourth Ballot—Black 9, Warren 19,
Nicholls 18.
At this point, Captain Hughes, of Liberty,
arose and stated that there seemed to be no
prospect of arriving at any satisfactory re
sult; that they had taken thirty-four bal
lots and the convention was no nearer the
end of their labors than when they com
menced. He would, therefore, propose a
recess of half an hour for conference. The
motion was seconded, but on being put to
a vote was lost by a large majority, and the
balloting was proceeded with as follows:
Thirty-fifth Ballot—Black 7, Warren 25,
Nicholls 14
GETTING THIRSTY.
On the announcement of the thirty-fifth
ballot, another motion to adjourn was
made, the delegate proposing It suggesting
that the members of the convention would
probably feel better after taking a glass of
“ice water,” and would be In a humor to
confer, with the view of ascertaining if the
differences could not be reconciled. He,
therefore, moved that the convention take
a recess until eleven o’clock, and they could
all get some water. The motion received a
second from Mr. A. N. Smith, of Pierce, but
was voted down with great vigor.
Thirty-sixth Ballot—Black 9, Warren 19,
Nicholls 18.
Thirty-seventh Ballot—Black 5, Warren
21, Nicholls 20
Thirty eighth Ballot —Black 11, Warren
21, Nicholls 14.
THIRSTY AGAIN.
There was another effort to force a recess
for the purpose of hunting up that water,
and it was intimated that half an hßir
would be sufficient time to enable ’he dele
gates to quench their thirst and Interchange
views to some | urpose. The effort was,
however, defeated on a call of counties, by
a vote of 32 to 14, and the convention again
settled down to business.
FLIRTING WITH THE FAVORITES.
A number of the counties came to the
convention uninstructed, and several that
had expressed their preference had given
their delegates authority to act according
to their discretion, and hence there was
considerable coquetting without any im
portant result. Occasionally the vote for
Colonel Nicholls would run up the scale,
and eliel’ applause. On the next ballot
Colonel Warren would be in the lead by a
good majority, and the announcement was
followed by a demonstration. Then there
would be a general advance to Col. Black’s
column, which excited considerable enthu
siasm. But all this Indicated nothing,
except a determination on the part of the
delegates not to entirely abandon their
special favorites, or change front to such a
degree as to endanger their chances. This
is apparent from the ballots given above and
which follow:
Thirtv-ninth Ballot—Black 15, Warren 13,
Niehol’s IS.
After this ballot another attempt, to se
cure a recess was made, but. proved a fail
ure, and the monotonous roll was resumed,
the ballots being taken rapidly.
Fortieth Ballot—Black 9, Warren 21,
Nicholls 16
Forty-first Ballot—Black 14, Warren 13,
Nicholls 19.
Forty-second Ballot—Black 10, Waren 15,
Nicholls 21.
Forty third Ballot—Black 10, Warren 13,
Nicholls 23.
Forty-fourth Ballot—Black 5, Warren 22,
Nicholls 19.
ICE WATER AT LAST.
There was an evident determination to
have a recess, and after this ballot, which
was closed at five minutes to ten o’clock,
another motion for a recess of half an hour
was presented and was adopted, and the
delegates hurried out after that “Ice water,”
one of the member jocularly asking the
Chair if it was In order to introduce any
thing In the “Ice water,” which query oc
casioned considerable merriment.
At twenty-five minutes past eleven, the
recess having expired, the convention was
again called to order, and the call of the
counties resumed, with the following result:
Forty-fifth Ballot—Black 8, Warren 16,
Nicbolls 22.

A HOVEL PROPOSITION.
On the announcement of this ballot a mo
tion was made that on the next call the can
didate receiving the smallest vote be
dropped.
This proposition created a momentary
sensation.
Col. Dell, of Scriven, declared that under
the rules the motion was out of order and
could not be entertained.
The Chair decided the point well taken
and ruled the motion as out of order, and
the balloting proceeded.

At this point a motion to take a recess
was offered, but was defeated.
MANLY TALK.
Mr. J. E. Dart, of Glynn, here arose
and stated he desired to present some
views to the convention. As they
were proceeding, certainly no nomi
nation could be reached, and It was
Imperatively necessary that there should be
a conference among the delegates with the
purpose, if possible, of reconciling differ
ences. One of the candidates before the
convention would have to be withdrawn,
and he thought that there might be some
agreement arrived at If they should take a
recess until 2 o’clock. They could after the
conference return here, and resume their
duties with some likelihood of getting
through. It was certain that we cannot af
ford to have strife in the First district. He
had come here for harmony in the Demo
cratic party, and in favor of any good man
who could carry the district. He had his
preferences, it was true, but he should not
allow his preferences to run away with his
Democracy.
These patriotic remarks were greeted
wi’h enthusiastic applause.
The balloting was then resumed.
Seventy ninth Ballot—Black 13, Warren

Eightieth Ballot—Black 9, Warren 17,
Nicholls 20.
At half past eleven o’clock, after this bal
lot, a motion was made that the cinvention
take a recess until three o’clock, which was
adopted and the delegates retired.

One hundredth Ballot—Black 7, Warren

When the one hundredth ballot had been
taken, Mr. Dart, of Giynn, slated that the
conveDtiou had during the entire balloting
demonstrated the fact that Col. Nicholls was
the strongest, candidate In tbe field. The
two-thirds vote was adopted for the protec
tion oi minorities, but when It was evident
to the minority who was the choice of the
convention they should patriotically yield
their preferences, and should come to the
support of that candidate. It would not do
to continue this struggle. He had heard
that a gentleman by the name
of Johnson, a son of the late Governor
Johnson, would be the Republican candi
date for Congress from this district, and It
would not be wise for this convention to
fritter away time and allow the Republi
cans to take advantage of any fancied dif
ference in the Democratic party. We should
make a nomination, and that speedily. It
was due to Colonel Nlcholl6, as the candi
date polling the highest vote, that the other
delegates should come to his support. In the
last convention the Nicholls men polled 29
votes, and yet they conceded their prefer
ence, and went over to Black. He could
sav here for his own section, without fear
of contradiction, that If Colonel Warren
had developed the strength to justify it,
they would have come to his support. And
we would do the same in the case of Colonel
Black, for whom we have every respect.
We should now come to some understand
ing in this matter. It Is due to our consti
tuents. With the strength that we have,
you cannot ask us to come to you. It is but
right that you should come to us, and assist
In secu ing success to the Democracy.
Mr. Russell arose and stated that If the
delegate from Glynn was so anxious for
harmony, he should have come to them
when Colonel Warren polled twenty-five
votes. The ballots proved that Colonel War
ren stood high in the convention, and his
friends had the right to expect others to
come to his assistance, Colonel Nicholls
had represented the district, and Chatham
had given him her full support. When
Black was nominated Chatham rallied to
his standard and carried the election.
Col Sweat —Does the gentleman intimate
that Chatham county Is the Firs; Congres
sional district? [Laughter J
Mr. Russell replied that what Chatham
had done in that campaign was well known,
and her support was vital to the success of
the candidate If Colonel Warren Is sent
to Congress, he will represent all interests,
and will do credit to the district. He was a
personal friend of Colonel Black and Colonel
Nicholls, but he was also a friend of Colonel
Warren, and felt that in this crisis Colonel
Warren was the man who would fully and
thoroughlv represent the district.
Mr. W. O. Cassels, of Liberty, said that
they were neutral in this matter, and were
favorahle to any of the gentleman named
who seemed to be the choice of the conven
tion.
On this ballot Mr. Pughsley, after some
difficulty, succeeded In getting In a
motion to adjourn for half an hour, which,
on being put to a vote, was lost.
The balloting then proceeded.

A RECESS.
On the one hundred and twenty-fourth
ballot, the motion to adjourn for half an
hour was carried.
On reassembling, Captain Thomas, of
Burke, addressed the convention. He
opened his remarks by stating that he was
a poor speaker. He was no lawyer, but
only a plain farmer, but be desired to say a
few words to this convention. He came
here as a Democrat, and he wanted to see
this business satisfactorily consummated.
He was compelled to leave the city to night,
greatly to his regret, and he did hope to
see a nomination made before his departure.
He did not know that his remarks would
have anv effect, if they would secure one
vote, but he would like to say a few words
If the convention would hear him, and
they were In the interest of Colonel George
R. Black. He asked if there was anything
to be said against Colonel Black since be had
been in Washington. If any thing was to
be said he would listen to it. He would
call a tention to the fact that, notwithstand
ing the number of ballo‘B taken, Chatham
had cast her vote solid for Warren. He hsd
nothing to say against that gentleman. He
was a personal friend, and so was Colonel
Black; In fact, though he did not wish to
be considered egotistical, be would an
nounce that they both had married his
cousins. He ventured the opinion that
Colonel Black was as popular in Chat
ham as Colonel Warren; he was
in mmim,
reason to turn him out. He appealed
stroDgly to the Chatham delegation to
break, but they were stubborn, and refused
to yield. All that had been said about
Colonel Black’s health amounted to nothing.
He was able to stand on his feet, and If you
wrote him a letter you would surely get a
reply in his own bandwritlog He had
made a thorough canvass of this district
before: hail visited places that no other can
date ever had, and was better and
more widely known. He had done as
much if not more than any other Congress
man had ever done for the district. There
was a man In his county who had an Im
portant claim against the government. He
wrote to Mr. Hartridge about It, but noth
ing was done: he wrote to Col Nicholls
about It, and nothing was done; he wrote to
Col. Black about it, and he immediately
gave it attention, and the claim was now in
good shape before the Claims Committee
and In fair way of being allowed. No man
could have done more. Turning to Mr.
Russell, of the Chatham delegation,
he 6aid: “Now, friend Russell, I put
It to you squarely and fairly—you know
your Influence In Chatham county and are
posted. Now I ask you Is there anv reason
why we should not send Col. Black back?
Is he not &6 popular in Chatham as Col.
Warren?
Mr. Russell—l have the kindest feeling
for Col. Black. I am his friend and have
done all I could for him, but I'do not think
he Is physically capable of performing the
duties now.
Mr. Bmith, of Pierce—Well, you can’t raise
that objection to Col. Nicholls. [Laugh
ter.]
Captain Thomas You say you don’t
think 60. Now, why don’t you think so?
What right have you to think that he is not
able to attend to his duties? Here is the
statement of his physicians who have been
attending him; thev don’t think anything
about it, they know it, and say he is. ’ I was
not a Stephens man, but in favor of Bacon,
and made a speech for him; but you nomi
nated Stephens, and as a true Democrat I’ll
vote for him. But I say if you expect to roll
Mr. Stephens Into the Gubernatorial office
In a chair, what Is the reason Col. Black
can’t be rolled into Congress? [Laughter
and applause.]
Then lowering his voice to a “solicit
ing tenor,” as it were, Captain Thomas
said, “Ob, say, boys, let’s stop this fooling
and nominate Black and go home. [Laugh
ter.] If you won’t do that—but I think you
should—why, trot In this dark horse I hear
so much about; I would like to see him be
fore I go home, and I’ve got to go to-night,
[Laughter and applause.] Come on, now,
and let us give Black the nomination, and
end this matter. [Applause ]
At the close of Capt. Thomas’ remarks, a
mere synopsis of which we have p-esented,
as they were of a conversational character,
some little sensation was created by Dr.
Norton, of Effingham, propounding certain
questions in regard to Capt. Thomas’ con
trol of the Burke delegation.
Capt. Thomas called on the Burke delega
tion for a response to this, and several of
them arose.
Col. John D Muunerlyn said that Burke
would stand by the nominee of the conven
tion. [Applause]
Turning to Mr. Glgnilliat, of Melutosb,
Captain Thomas ir.vked his support.
Mr. Glgnilliat said: “ You’ve spoken
enough—l’ll give you support,” and on the
next, ballot cast two votes for Black.
Captain Thomas concluding, said that he
would make the last appeal to Chatham for
the sake of harmony. We ought to quell
this difference. If Chatham will come for
ward uow and cast her vote for Black, he
felt, convinced they could make a noralna
tlou. He complimented Mr. Clifton on the
admirable manner In which he had presented
the claims of Colonel Warren, and said if
he could make such a speech as that, he felt
sure he would secure the nomination of
Black. After these remarks the balloting
was proceeded with:
One hundred and twenty-fifth Ballot—
Black 8, Warren 21, Nicholls 17
One hundred and twenty-stJCb Ballot-
Black 11, Warren 15, Nicholls 20.
One hundred and tweuty-seventh Ballot—

One hundred and twenty eighth Ballot—
Black 14, Warren 16, Nicholls 16.
One hundred and twenty-ninth Ballot—
Black 11, Warren 17, Nichols 18.
On the close of the one hundred and
twenty-ninth ballot a motion to adjourn
until 8 o’clock last evening was offered and
adopted.
NIGHT 9EBBION.
At 8 o’clock the. convention was called to
order and the roll of counties resumed for
the balloting, which was as follows:
One hundred and thirtieth Ballot—Nich
olls 20, Warren 19, Black 7.
One hundred and thirty first Ballot—Black

One hundred and forty-fourth Ballot —

On the announcement of the result of the
one hundred and forty-fourth ballot, Capt.
Hughes, of Liberty, moved that the roll
call he suspended for fifteen mluutes.
Seconded by Mr. A. N Smith, of Pierce.
Mr. luo. C. MacDonald, of; Ware, here
seeing the fruillessne.ss of this continual
balloting arose and In a jocular vein re
marked that the convention seemed to be
at a stand still. Nothing had been yet ac
complished and he would move that the
convention adjourn until Monday next,
and then meet In Waycross, by which time
It was possible that the ds-lt gates might be
able to come to some dectsiou.
Mr. A. Jackson, of Burke, dt-slr <1 to
know of the gentleman If he could aivanc,-
any cogent reason why the convention
should adjourn to Waycros*.
Mr. McDonald replied that the delegates
would have the opportunity of seeing one
of the most promising towns In Southeast
Georgia, and the influence of i' a'ntosphere
might have the effee of bringing them to
some conclusion.
Mr. Jackson responded that Ihe descrip
tion was entrancing, but he suspected there
might be some ulterior cause forth* motion
of the gentleman from Ware. Possibly he
might be apprehensive of the approach of
that cyclone from the West Indies, and was
afraid that the big houses in Savannah
would topple over on him, or possibly he
was a married man, and was anxious to get.
back to see the “old woman,” or may be there
was some sweetheart awaiting his coming
for a drive. [Laughter.] The speaker said he
was not familiar with the ways of politicians,
anl had been here all day watching devel
opments. He had beard them say, “Oh, It
will all he fixed In a few mlriutes,” and he
was waiting for that fixing but it bad not
come. [Laughter.] He was in hopes they
would get through by the morrow, that they
would all have an opportunity of enjoying
a good time. The rain was here, and they
might as well stay and brave the cyclone
out.
Mr. McDonald pleasantly responded
that the gentleman might think he was
afraid of a cyclone, hut, that he could say
would to God a cyclone would come and
sweep this minority over to the majority,
and enable us to nominate the Hon. John
C. Nicholls. [Applause ] Cyclone or no cy
clone, he was willing to stay here this week,
and the next week, or as long as necessary
to select some candidate who will carry the
district triumphantly. [Applause.]
Mr. Rußeell arose to a point of order and
stated that tbe gentleman was not confining
his remarks to the question.
Mr. McDonald replied that he was speak
ing on his motion, and urged that the con
vention come forward and nominate the
candidate who was undoubtedly In the ma
jority, If they could not do this then let
them meet at Waycross, a beautiful
town, and where they would find hospitable
hands to greet them; he was satisfied that
they would soon then be enabled to come
to a decision. He Insisted on this motion,
which was put and lost. This little pleasant
Incident relieved the monotony In the bal
loting, and was greatly enjoyed. The call
of counties was resumed, and the balloting
proceeded as follows:
One hundred and forty fifth Ballot—
Black 5, Warren 21, Nichols 20.

WEARYING OF THE MONOTONY.
During the balloting there were numerous
motions made for recess and adjournment
by different delegates—Capt. Hughes, Mr.
Glgnilliat, Mr. Pughsley and others, which
were very promptly seconded by Mr. A N.
Smith, of Pierce, and as verv promptly and
vigorously voted down, Mr. Smith beln: in
every case a very decided negative, to the
amusement of every oie. Motions for a sus
pension of the roll call and adjournments for
the morning followed every two or three
ballots, as the delegates were becoming
weary of the monotony of the roll call,
but when it came to a vote
on the second of Mr. Smith, ad
vocates fell away rapidly, and they were
lost. This, however, seemed to enliven the
situation considerably, and the promptitude
with which Mr. Smith seconded every mo
tion, and the vigor with which he voted in
the negative on the same, occasioned no
little merriment in the crowded court room.
At twenty minutes to ten o’clock, and
after the one hundred and seventy-first bal
let had been taken, it being evident that,
there was no possibility of coming to an
agreement on a nomination, a motion to
adjourn until nine o’clock this morning was
put, and on a call of the counties was car
ried, whereupon the convention adjourned
until this morning, when it Is confidently
expected that a
A NOMINATION WILL BE MADE
as most of the delegates are compelled to
return home, and, while not yielding to any
of the interests now before the convention,
are not averse to concentrating on some
available and popular citizen of the district.
There were several gentlemen mentioned
in connection with the nomination in the
groups of delegates which gathered at the
hotels after the adjournment, and their re
spective merits and strength were freely dis
cussed. It is us-less to predict what, will
be the result, and it is just as well to wait
and see what will be done at the session this
morning.
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING.
A New ProlcMinii Which Women
an Well sa Hen May Kilter.
Host on Traveller.
The new profession which promises to be
one demanded by the progress of the age,
and one whose scope renders it peculiarly
satisfactory to men and women of a
scholarly turn of mind is that of electrical
engineering. It is not,of course,entirely un
known to the general public, and its re
quirements are more or less familiar in the
world of scientists; but the few who
have hitherto represented the profession
have been rather its founders, and the
discoverers of the laws of nature on which
it is based, than students who have been at
tracted to opportunities already provided.
With t hese, too, the work has been one of
constant experiment and growth, and It is
only at the most, recent date that the series
of experimental methods have crystallized
Into sufficient relative sequence to
lie properly termed one of the profes
sions of the aee. Among the eminent elec
trlclans are Sir William Thomson and
Dr. Siemens, both fellows of the Koval
Society of Great Britain; Mr. Elison and
Profes-or Alexander Graham Bell, of our
own country, and a limited number of others
representing Prance and Germany. The
late electrical exhibition in Paris has re
vealed the marvelous results already at
tained by science, and its practical applica
tions are already established in the systems
of cables, electrical railways, telephones and
other recent inventions.
Mr. W. H. Greer, of New York city, a
gentleman who is largely interested In these
new inventions, has been in Boston for a
few days, and, being asked by a representa
tive of the Traveller for some information
on a subject of such absorbing interest,
kindly acceded to the request. Mr. Greer
is a man of cosmopolitan travel, spending
much of his time in Europe,and he has long
given close personal attention to the ad
vancing results of electrical appliances.
“Will you give the IraveUer a few of the
practical points regarding what you term
the new profession, Mr. Greer?’’
“Certainly,” he replied. “The general
public is not perhaps aware of the enormous
extent of the means of electric communica
tion at the present. There are eight cables
underlying the oceaD; cables traverse the
Persian Gulf The Mediterranean Is crossed
and recrossed by cables. There are at this
moment thousands of millions of dollars in
vested in cables alone. Now, the conditions
of these cabl< s is a matter determined only
bv the electrician. In localizing the faults
of weak places in the cable a current of
elec rtetty is the means employed, the posi
tive current operating in a certain way and
the negative in the opposite, so that bv the
proper adjustment or alternation of those
two the faulty place is either repaired or so
located that, a shipi cm be sent to the pre
cise spot to repair it.”
“Is the apparatus a complicated one, Mr.
Greer ?”
“Not at all. A fault at midocean in a ca
ble can be located bv an instrument not
larger than a man's hat It is not a work
requiring physical force, but rather keen
abilities, good mathematical aad scientific
training, to which is, of course, superadded
the special education of the electrician.”
“Are there vet, Mr. Greer, any regular
colleges established to give this training’”
“There are only four places in the world
where it Is now taught. These are Paris,
London, Tobto (Japan) and New York,
where this fall a college of electrical engi
neering will be opened. It is situated near
the medical co’leges.”
“What is the prospect for the electric
railways?”
“It is most encouraging. They are already
in hi ees-fut operation in Berlin, In Parts,
one in Ireland, at and that of Mr. Edison, on a
small sca’e, in Menlo Park. Berlin has the
longest ex ent Dow in use, and Its results
arc e dir- ly satisfactory. There is no doubt
that (t will i rove the motor for the elevated
railways of large and ies, and will soon entire
ly supersede the clumsy street car system
The traveling of the future will be by elec
tricity; so will the communication of the
future; and it is hardly difficult to imagine
a time when steam and horse railways and
postal communication shall be entirely
superseded bv electrical appliances for
traveling and for all manner of correspond
ence.”
“I regard this new profession as one espe
cially suited for educated women,” con
tinued Mr. Greer. “Now, I should think
this might be a matter of special interest In
Massachusetts, where it Is said you have
110,000 more women than men. There are,
it Is safe to say, 100,000 too many lawyers
and doctrrs and teachers in our country.
Every profession is overcrowded, and the
result Is mediocrity, and a constant strug
gle against the limit of conditions. Anew
profession is an incalculable public benefit.
Electrical engineering can be learned In one
half the time given to the study of law
or medicine. Great fortunes have already
been made In Its pursuit. The enormous
extension of the telegraph, the telephone,
the electric light, and, as will be, the
electric railway to all parts of the world,
creates a great demand for skilled electri
cians.”
“What is the foundation required, educa
tionally, to enable one to learn electrical
engineering ?"
“A goon mathematical ami scientific edu
cation, such as the scientific course of our
universities confer.”
“Another Important demand also for elec
trical power,” continued Mr. Greer, "is the
distribution of power to manufactories,
shops, and all kinds of mechanical work.
There is no doubt that in time such vast
extension of works as those of Sheffield,
England, will distribute the entire power
required from one central electrical ap
pliance. It may even be given to the work
men individually at their cottages, and
thus avoid what Kuskin calls the “thunder
ing of machinery and the crowding of men
into these great factories.”
