10 THE MACON WEEKLY TELEGRAPH: TUESDAY, JANUARY 5,18Efi.—TWELVE PAGES. AN ELECTRICAL RAILWAY M Aon Under Hrnndway by an Entirely New System. New York Sun. To-day articles of incorporatiqn of the Fourteenth and T went.v-tnird Street District Bailway Company will be filed in Albany. Among the directors are Calvin Goddard, Marvelle Cooper. George F. Seward and William J. Campbell. This company is to bo a branch of tne New York company, and will operate cross-town roads at Fourteenth and Twenty-third atreeta in connection with the New York company. The system by which tho new companies propose to operate their roads is known as the Haznrd system. It is the patented in- Tcntion of Mr. Rowland It. Hazard, and has been recommended by M. de Montgol fier, the French engineer, and adopted by the Paris municipality. Mr. Hazard was aeen last evening at the office of the New York District Railway Company nt I4G Broadway. “The Son is entitled to tho honor of cull ing the attention of the public to the ‘scien tific street,"by its article of August 2.18M4," ■aid Mr. Hazard. “The great difficulty with the schemes hitherto proposed for a railway beneath Broadway, has been the necessity of seeking legislation to give the right to take the vaults under the street. ^Ve have adapted our plans to meet the re quirements of the present law. The essen tial features of our plan are: 1. A unit foundation of concrete two feet thick, car rying the external vault walls at the curb line os well. 2. The minimum of excava tion and the maximum of capacity. The ex cavation will bo on the average only 15 l-f» feet deep, and we shall have room for four four tracks, standard gauge, and two side tunnels, in which all electric wires, all wa ter and gas pipes and all sewers will ho placed. Them: side tunnels will be accessi ble from the vaults, and when our road is once completed there will bo no necessity of breaking up the street again. On the concrete foundation will be placed granite blocks to carry the vault walls and the pil lars to support the street roadbed above. The pillars will be of anglo iron, four feet apart, and instead of brick walls to divide the tracks one from another, which the nar rowness of tho excavation will not permit, wo shall use ‘ferfiax,’ an invention of my •own. “Ferfiax is a wire netting, interwoven in which is flax, tar, asphalt or asbestos. The whole is covered with linseed oil, and chem ically treated, so that it becomes water proof, as strong as steel, and less liable to fracture. It is also non-resonant. Tne cars will ho on steel frames, covered with ferfiax. They will have no windows, the only glass in them being the globes of the electric lamps. A continuous deflecting rail will run along on either side of each tunnel, so that if a car is derailed it can not be overturned. Tho trains will be pro pelled by electricity. “We nave ex(>eniiiented, and are satisfied that we have coinpleto mastery of tho sub ject of running trains by electricity, and can produce a thoroughly perfect system of electric propulsion capablo of carrying trains of seven heavy cars forty mile s an hour. We propose to run through trains on the two mner tracks i:« the morning and evening hours, and way trains on the outer tracks. Our capita! is fixed ftt $3,000,000 A mile, and negotiations aro complete for placing stock in Europe in case we con not place ft here.’* 8NATC1IKD FROMTHEGRAVES. A Seemingly Drml Mint Restored to Life by Hypodermic Injections of llrundy. Galons, Ill.. Special. John F. Monger, a prominent citizen of Platteville, Win., has been a sufferer for some time past with rheumatism iu his feet Two days n^o, to relievo tho intense pain, he applied unctuie of aconite freely to the skin, and soon after put his feet into a bath of hot water. A tingling sensation in the hands and feet followed almost immediately, extending ultimately nil over the body. Mr. Munger's pulse became weaker, his skin became moist and clammy, and vomiting and retching set in severely. The family pbysiciAn, Dr. Hermann Gasser, was at onoe seat for, but on his arrival he found his pitiiont apparently dead, the ucnrl having Censt-Cl to heat Another medical man was called in and eon firmed the opinion of the family physician that Mr. Mungrr was dead, and that his death was caused by the absorption of aconite, a rank poison, in the system through the pores ot the skiu. While the family were mourn ing over the demise of their f .ther and the undertaker was preparing to perfurui his duty Dr. Gasser, as an experiment, with a hypo dermic) syringe injected sonic brandy and digitalis close to the heart, and in about two minutes, to the surprise of all present, 31 r, M. began to gasp for air, which was toon repeated. Putting his ear to the pa tient's chest, the doctor heard the heart heat, and, encouraged by the prospect of ■uccohs, hypodermic medication was given in rapid succession. The death pallor rap idly gave way to a suffused redness, te muscles resumed their natural positions, tho cold, clammy skin was warniet up, and was followed up by perpirntiou, and no im proved every minute, although it tasked the resources of the doctors to pilot him back to consciousness an i life. Mr. Mnnger is now entirely out of danger. His resuscita tion is pronounced by physicians here abouts as the most wonderful ia the annals of medical practice. AN UNPLEASANT JOKE. How a Mite of Limburger Cheese Caused Sensation. Toronto Globe. When a citizen of Toronto left Berlin the other day some kind friend secretly placetl a piece of cheese in his valise iu case he should get hungry before he got to Toronto —Limburger cheese. He liought a paper and read an article headed “Ventilation in Railway Curs." This made him nervous and it aeemed to him that there was n curi ous smell somewhere iu the car. When the conductor came up the passenger told him that there were 4,.'44 decimal cubic feet in the car when empty, and that if occupied by fifty ixutrteugers it would be reduced to 4,1(4 decimal 88 f.et, and that tho air ought to be changed eighteen time« an hour, and he didn't believe this was being done, because there was u queer smell ■round there. The conductor said he did amell a kind of funny smell—didn't know anything about the decimals or cubic 'eet, but thought maybe some of the truck peo ple carried arouud wanted to be changed instead of the sir. As he said this he glanced darkly at the passen K r's valise, but the passenger d not the slightest idea that the arti cle wou suspected. However, thinking that the smell wa* perhaps localized in bis part of the car he moved himself and his savory ▼alise to another seat. Now, by this time the limburger bsd begun to feel the effects c£ the heat, was emitting sn entirely new and stilt more pungent variety of ■melt The man who occupied the sent with him intimated that he waa a commercial traveller. “Travel for a drug store? ’ asked the To ronto man .harply. “Well, yes, I do; how did you find oat?" ■aid the traveller. “I don’t think drug samples ought to be carried in passenger cars, said the owner of the valise with considerable severity, if you are referring tome, sir," said the traveller, “I haven't got any samples on this car. But there are goods that smell worse than drugs," and he left tho seat, carrying his satchel in one hand and hold ing nis nose with the other. The puzzled passenger leaned over to the scat in front and said to a thin man with a long face, “I think there must be a skunk outside." “I wish it was outside," said the long- faced msn, with gloomy emphasis, moving over to the other side of the car. Ard now for the first time the owner of the fragrant valise noticed that he was sur rounded by a quarantine of empty seats, and that the people were casting most indig nant glances at him. All at once the horri ble truth flashed upon him that he was sus pected. His face Durned so that it seemed to singe his whiskers, and he was the most relieved man on the train when the Union station was reached. As he walked np York street the dreadful smell fo.lowed him. Heized by a sudden inspiration, he opened tho valise, and turned the contents out on the sidewalk, small boy, who with great courage stood close by and watched the operation, states that the man did not laugh when he found tho cheese; probably his sense of humor was deficient, ns there is no doubt the joke was an excellent one. He is also willing to dc|MJHe that the man left the cheese behind; which is another strango thing, and it is not likely that he forgot it. COMING AFTER ROBERTS. A Veteran Official Charged with Hypothe cating Worth of HomU. New York World. Detective Philip Reilly, of tho district- attorney's office, will go South in a few days to bring to this city William S. Roberts, formerly president of the now defunct bank of Augusta, Ga. ( who is under indictment by tbo grand jury of this county for al leged grand larceny. Mr. Roberts, a well- preserved gentleman of seventy, was charged with hypothecating nt tho Mercan tilo Bank $145,000 worth of bonds of the Georgetown and Lane Railroad Company, which had been deposited in the Bank ’of Augusta by the Bcthleham (Pa.) Iron Com pany. The indictment was found on April 10, but Detective Reilly was unable to bring Roberts North on account af tho habeas corpus proceedings in three Southern courts, but which wero of no avail. The Supreme Court of the United States decided on December PI that Roberts must be extradited. Detective Reilly’s journey has been delayed until a copy of the print ed opinion lias been served on the defend ant’s counsel. Then the mandate will be issimd from Washington, and Reilly will take his Southern trip. This will probably be the first of next week. Mr. Roberts has a beautiful home and an interesting family in Augusta, where he is highly esteemed. The r disgrace of his ar rest so preyed upon his mind that last spring he cut his throat from ear to eAr while he was shaving himself. Ho missed the jugular vein, and his life was saved by the prompt arrival of a physician. “I’m afraid bo ll commit suicide before I get him there," said Detective Reilly yesterday. The trial of Roberts in the Court of Gen eral Sessions will be conducted for the pris oner by the best legal talent ho can procure. Fear iu n lliaMHitiiii Kiwiil, Cincinnati Enquirer. Doctor, does it not sicken the students, or do they not loso all feeling und venera tion for the dead?" “Some may sicken for a while, but they gradually grow accustom ed to it, and then they pive it ns little thought as you in your daily avocation. I have seen things iu a dissecting room that havo made me tremble -case-hardenod as I am. In my second year cf student life, one evening we were all iu the dissecting room, waiting for the demonstrator to call oar numbers, nppnrtion us in squads of four or five around tho room. Tliero were some twenty bodies lying on the tables; some were covered, and othors wero not; tliero wero white and black, male and female, old and young. We wero assigned to one of the covered tables, and drew lots for choice of position. I r v oso the head, and then we uncovered the body; it wns that of a girl not more tlmn seventeen, and she could not have been dead more than a week. Her long blondo hair was clean and in two braids, tied with light bluo ribbon. Bhe must have been handled very gently, for the ghouls' hook had left no marks on her fair white skin, and the ribbons in her hair were another proof of thnt. The boys all paused. I saw n nil* band on her nock, and on touching it found a locket, which I opened. In it WM au old Uufy'f fsc* which aoemed to chide me with her kindly eyes. On the other side was the inscription: ‘May God so deal with them as they deal with you, my child. Mother.’ Well, we did not dissect that night. Nor was that hotly dissected in our college." Nhe LI vet! In Hyracnae. Rochester Express. Just heforo the arrivnl of the “flyer" lust evening an elegantly clad young lady, who was also quite pretty, was noticed sitting near a window in the station. She occa sionally cast her eyes in a modest way at a fascinating traveling man who strolled past with noticeable Regularity. The traveling man also gazed, and bis glances were full of udmimtion He finally stopped, and they entered into conversation. As they chatted the young man's hand unconscious ly stole under the wrap und clasped in u lender embrace the shapely fingers it con cealed. The young lady turned her head leisurely toward the captivating drummer and said, in a dignified manner: *T am surprised nt your action, sir, and presume I should call an officer. But 1 live iu Syra cuse—I have been absorbing its culture for years, and hate a scene. So I shall just give you twenty minutes to remove your hand from under tbut wrap."

A Well Planned Bank Robbery That Mis carried, New York Son. “It ain’t no use in saying that I haven't been a crooked man in my time," be re marked as. he leaned back against the door and pulled his hat down. “You all know that I’m just out of the Ohio penitentiary after serving 10 long years for try ing to work a bank, and it's no use in mo denying it. Howsomever, there was more in that case than the papers ever got hold of, and it will be no harm to yarn it off. “To'bejjin with, I was knocking around Cincinnati, hard up and discouraged, when an old pal of mine comes along one day with a soft snap. He had Htruck something to gladden our hearts. In a village about 50 miles away was bank. That wasn’t ho very curious, ns you may think, but it was a new bank, and tho officials were a set of green horns. The president was an old farmer, the bookkeeper a former miller, and the cashier—well, lie was described a* just the greenest specimen ever brought in from the corn fields. “My pal had ‘piped’ the bank until he knew how everything went When noon came the president and bookkeeper went to dinner, leaving the greenhorn alone. In deed, he ate a cold lunchaon at his desk. It was a chance if any one came in between 12 and 1:30, and the two of us could do that cashier up ns slick as groase with any of the old tricks. “Well, in a day or two we went up there, and it worked like the biggest layout I ever came across. As you entered the bank there was an enclosed space to the right, with a gate to enter. This was the presi dent and book-keeper’s quarters, while far ther along, on the same side, was the cash ier’s place, but not divided from the other by any railing. When the cashier was nt tne pay window his back was toward the other space, and also to the big safe. The latter stood at least twelve feet from him, against the outer wall, with all the doors wide open. Why, when I come to enter that bank and seen how easy it was to ‘sneak’ that safe, I wns laid out with astonishment. And then the greenness of that cashier! Why, gents, he didn’t seem to know no more about a draft on New York than about the complexion of the man in the moon, and nftcr I had detained him at the window fully ten minutes on one pre text and another, just to see if it could be done, we went out feeling thnt we had the boodlo in the safe dead to rights. “The time appointed was the next day noon, and when we had seen the president and book-keeper out of the way, my pal entered, walked to the pay win dow and got n bill changed, and then began to dicker about a draft. entered the bank on tiptoe soon after him. The gato was open, as also the doors of the safe, and the cashier, with his beck to me, was feeding himself ns he talked. Why, sirs, it makes my mouth water to think of what a glorious opportu nity was before roel I had on rubbers, and I slipped half way to tho safe as softly as tho serpent creeps. Then there was a growl and a rush, and a dog about the size of a yearling steer flung himself upon me. I went down with a crash, and the dog held mo there, but while it was happening i heard the click! click! of a revolver and the greeuhorn of a cashier coolly saying to my pal; ' Tm on to you, my friend! If yon move hand or foot I’ll let daylight through you! Tiger, hold that fellow fast!’ ‘His left hand slid down to a button, and next moment a bell outside was ring ing a fire alarm and collecting n crowd of leople. They came rushing into the bunk >y tho dozen, and, of course our cake was dono for. I got 10 years for thnt little op eration, and my pal took seven for his share. It turned out that tho bank was guarded in all sorts of ways, including dogs and spring guns, and that the seeming I (reenuorn of a cashier had been imported from a Philadelphia bank. He bail spotted us at first siftht, and has given us rope to hong ourselves." COCAINE. What It la Made of—Strange KfTect* of Chewing Coca. Nineteenth Contury.
