Electricity as a Motive Power.
New York, August 5. —Stephen
Dudley Field, nephew of Cyrus
YV. Field, has patented an inven¬
tion for applying electricity to
motive power on both the surface
and elevated railroads. II 13 pat¬
ent, it is claimed, antedates the
claims of other parties who have
lately taken up the subject. The
new invention will be tested on
the elevated roads, and if succesful
will be adopted. It is claimed
that the invention does away with
fuel, smoke, oil, beat and the noise
of the locomotive, and permits the
highest speed consistent with
safety. Another point urged in
its favor is tliat an attachment has
been provided which will render a
collision between two trains im-1
posable, ocl. train automatically
preservingn safedistance from the
next succeeding one. Tne brakes
will be operated by the electrical
currents used in propelling the
electric motor
