HAULED 1,900 TONS.
Another Wonderful Performance by the
Eleotrto Iiooomotive. "
Baltimore Sun.
A new record was added yesterday to
the list of remarkable performances
made by the big electric locomotive of
the Belt Railroad.
Forty-four loaded cars and hree
steam locomotives were 'successfully
hauled through, the tunnel by the elec
tric giant. Its gteatest haul previously
had been thirty-seven loaded ears.
The extraordinary character of the
performance was heightened bv the
fact that this' long train, measuring
over 1,800 feet and weiehine about
,900 tons, was started after making a
stop in the tunnel. The stop was
made on the heavy grade in the tunnel.
and was caused by the discovery of a de
fective coupling pin. It was necessary
to bring the train to a standstill to rem
edy this defect.. In starting not a sput
ter, spark or slip of wheel indicated the
tremendous energy -which was devel
oped by the locomotive, the train mov
ing off with the same precision as if it
was only a usual pull. A draw-bar pull
of 60,000 pounds was the record made at
this start.
The tram was quickly brought up to a
speed of twelve miles an hour, with the
locomotive continually exerting a draw
bar pull of over 40,000 pounds. This
performance, the electrical engineers
say, would be impossible cf achievement
tor a steam locomotive.

Dr. Hunter, of Fayetteville, who stands
so high in the dental profession, once
told us that the number of deaths from
the cause mentioned above was about
one out of 200,000 cases. On account of
its rarity, therefore, the fallowing ac
count of a fatal case, taken from the
New York Commercial Advertiser, will
attract attention:
"It was decided by the Coroner to
day to have an inquest in the case of
Mrs. Flora Joseph of No. 143 Eighty-
second street, who died en Saturday af
ter the administration of nitrous oxide
gas by Richard Wolff, of No. 815 East
Eighty-sixth street. The autopsy made
by Coroner's physician Huber yesterday
showed that Mrs. Joseph had no organic
disease. Her husband says that she was
never sick a day In her life. Dr. Huber
said to-day that the taking of any form
of anaesthetics was perilous to life and
that in the case of Mrs. Joseph death
might have been caused, even though the
dentist observed every possible precau
tion.
