A meeting of the Board ot directors of the Baltimore and Hampden liait way was held yesterday at their of fice. They expres led themselves as being much gratified at the success of the electric motors, which have taken the place of the horses on their line. The motor weighs about 4,500 pounds and with (he ordinary horse car attached, with its quota of passen gers, can make the trip to Woodberry and return, about four miles, in less than twcnly-flve minutes. The road is up hill nearly all (he way to Wood berry and in oue place, just beyond the bridge over the Delta Road, is very sleep and at the same time make considerable turn. It is not proposed however, to run the motors at an ex cessive rate ot speed, as the road along the railway 1# quite a thorough fare for people living at Hampden' Woodbury and beyond, and too great speed might result in accidcuts to passers-by. The manner of running the motor is as follows: Between the rails upon which the wheels ot the care run has been placed a third rail, which is in sulated from the ground, and where a break Is ncccessarv at sw itches, etc., the continuity Is preserved bv meitns of insulated wires. At the stables, oil Huntingdon avenue, is a 35-horse power engine, which drives two dynamo machines, each of 60- hoise power. Only one machine is really uecessaiy to run the motors, but the second machine Is to lie used iu the case of accident to the first. By a system of switches and safety switches the engineer turns a current of electricity into the third rail, by wtiich it is communicated to smaller dynamo machines iu the motor, -and thus the motor, Is started. The re turn current is made through the wheels, outside rails and the ground. Slops are made by the engineorin the motor, breaking the current by means of a switch. The motors are now transporting passengers, though an account of soma temporary difficulties arc run ning at rattier long intervals. The only difficulty now in tho way of the permanently aiiccossful working of the motor system is the fact that there is some little danger to nock and horset receivtag a shock front the middle rail. The directors, however at their meeting yesterday decided to obviate ibis danger by placiug planks on each side of an short distance higher than the middle rtfil. This has already been done at road crossings, but in spite of cautions elsewhere, has been found tobe necessary the whole length of tho road. Tito experiments on the Baltimore and Hampden lint have demonstra ted the practibility of the motor sys tem, which, morever, doe, away with dust, cinders, smoke and noise, for the motor moves along with hardly any sound, except a lo v, hissing noise, which, it is said, will not bo heard after the motors have been run ning some little time. It is under stood that the same kind of motor will bo introduced upon the Ninth Avonue Elevated Road in New York cit y. A SERIOUS SHAKIATTU. A recent dispatch from Ottawa. 111., says: A brigade of the Illinois Na tional guards is in camp near here. A sham battle was fought. The weather was extremely hot and over ai ot the boys wore prostrated with heat. The fighting at one time was almost hand to hand and no less than fifteen had their faces burnt with powder. One man had a part of his car shot oil, another had an ugly wound put in his shouler. aud Litter. Wilson, of the First calary had a bay onet run clear through his hand. Tho fighting wai at too short a range even with blank cartridges. Several succumbed to the heat also after drilling in the morning. One man was quite seriously prostrate!. Capt. Burne. of Company G. Third regiment Woodstock, was sunstrtick in Ottawa, and for a time was thought to be dying. Feeling is running quite high ill consequence of so many being injured in the battles. The first reg iment boys, many of whom were powder burl, charged that it was done on purpose and inspired by hostile feeling towards the regiment. It is said some of the calary boys were overheard in the morning to say that they intended to put a little corn in their guns. It is likely an investiga tion of the whole matter will he made. During a thunder shower last wock ni Forsyth county, lightning struck a couple of trees, a walnut and a persimmon, at the residence of Mrs. Nancy Rogers, killing six of her best bogs instantly. A BBKABKABX-B CAERE* Ed Stokes' Rising Footsteps—How Jin . Fisk’s Slayer Prospers. (New Tork Letter 1s the Hertford Timee.] Gotham has always been a wonder ful place for ups and downs, but I doubt if it has procured anything more remarkable in this way than is seen in the career of “Kd” Stokes, or, as an increasing number of people now call him. Mr. Stokes. His election the other other day as presi dent of the United Lines Telegraph Company makes an advance in a few years that may well excite surprise. Previous to tho Jim Fisk episode the public in general knew nothing about Mr. Stokes. What it learned then was that he belonged to a respectable family, but had been rather wild. Fisk crossed his path fora woman,hounded him a good deal, and, it was said, also threatened his life. Then came the shooting in the Grand Central Hotel, followed by Stokes’ long imprisonment in the Tombs and the still longer one at Sing Sing. That was supposed to be iheend of bim. Certainly no one imagined that “Ed’’ Stokes would be a man of note in the community, with *0 very dark a cloud hanging over him. He served his term at Sing Sing and soon after his release he went to California. Very little was heard of him for some time. Only his personal friends knew how lie was employed there. No one had any thought that, having been down so lo>v, he would ever rise again. But the atufT that makes men rise was in him. After a while New Yorkers heard that a magnificent bar, the most elaborate and costly in the city, had been opened iu tho Hodman House, with Ed Stokes as proprietor, and they went iu thousands to see it. It certainly was worth seeing, the pictures and statues alone represent ing a small fortune. The bar flour ished and alter another while it be came known that the Hoffman llone itsoll was largely owned bv Stokes. Its, business grew rapidly and Stokes made money fast. He also made the acquaintance of a number of Wall street men, for his bar became their favorite up-town resort. Gradually his footing among the Wall street men became firm and they, on the other baud, gradually recognized in him au uncommonly able business man. He wont into Wall street him self and made some pretty good turns. And now he comes to the front as president of a telegraph or ganization that promises to give the overgrown Western Union Compauy a hard push. Some of the strongest financial men iu New York are at his back and evidently have confidence in him. The rise of Ed Stokes since his dreary days at Sing Sing is very remarkable indeed. A GOOD DEED WELL DONE. How , Ku of lir-rt Rapt s 000 l Head and Thu, Bavad Many Uvm. (JwkionvlU* TnoM-Ualoo) On Tuesday, at Port Orange, on the Halifax river, William Johnson was sailing the yacht Jessie, and while in the deepest channel of the Halifax a sudden squall of wind up set the boat in ab nit ten feet of water He had on board Miss Neal, of Orange City, Mrs. F. E. Bond and infant, and Mrs. 11. A. Tanner, with three young children, ofDcland, and Iwo iads of Ids own. His own boys were expert swimmers and saved themslpves. Miss Neal clung to the overturning boat. Mr. Johnson with great pres ot mind, commenced the work of res cuing the woman and children. Mary Tanner 11 years old, was the first in reach; he tossed her into the row boat in tow. Mrs. Tanner, as the yacht went over, had geized Louisa and George, aired 8 and 6 years, but lost Louisa and clung to the yacht with George. Mrs. Bond's baby had got away from her. Mr. Johnson helped her into the boat, caught the babe as it was floatingaway and gave it to the mother. While doing this he fell something pass between his legs, he closed upon it, aud getting his hands at liberty, dived down and brought up Louisa who was nearly •trangled. In less time than the writing, lie hid all of them safe in the row boat. In a short time boats from McDan iel’s Hotel came to their assistance, and the party were safely lauded at the hotel. That no one was drowned is owning to the calm intrepidity and great presence of mind of Mr. John son. That the boat capsized was no fault of his, as he is one of the most expert sailors on the coast. There are few men who could have res cued the entire party as he did— six young children and three women. By two families, at least, Mr. John son will ever be held in grateful re membrance.
