TRIES TO DERAIL CAR
Motorman Removes Obstructions
Three Different Times.
Last night some miscreant persisted
in attempting to derail one of the New
Bern Ghent Street Railway Company's
cars at the corner of Pollock and Burn
streets. Three times wa the motor-
man forced to remove obstructions
from the rail before passing that point,
the last time a plank six inches wide
i and more than two feet long being
placed on the track. There isa heavy
penalty for such actions and the com
pany has a standing reward of twenty
five dollars for the arrest of such offend
ers and if they are caught it is safe to
say they will be severely dealt with.
Miss Janie Stewart who has been
critically ill with an attack of typhoid
fever, has recovered so far that yester
day she was 'able to be out for a short
Automobile ride.

TO HEAT HOUSES
WITH ELECTRICITY
And Beauty About Proposed Plan
4a That It Can Be Done
" At Cost of Coal. '
ENGINEER SOLVES PROBLEM
For Several Years He Has Been
Working on Problem of
Current For Heating. ,
Ann Harbor, Mich., Jan. 20. Carl
DeMuralt. associate professor of elec
trical engineering in the University of
Michigan, proposes to heat houses
with electricity at a cost not above rhsit.
of heating it with coa1 in this section
of the country, and but little in ad
vance of what cojI costs in New York
City. '
MrDeMuralt was one of the con
suiting engineers for the Simplon tun
nel through the Alps. For several years
he has worked upon the idea of using
electricity for heating purposes and
during th past two years has worked
it. out to completion, tt is stated.. His
device is being patented,, and he . is
negotiating for a house in which to in-
stal his heating system, , . .,f? .
"Mv idea." he says, ' 'is to have the
electric current only during those hours
of the day when lights are not used
With the consequent demand for cur
rent continuously, the electr.c fcompany
will' be able to sell It at much lower
rate' than." is now charged.' Fscilties
must be provided to store up heat, dun
ing the hours' when ' no lights arc used,
to bp- given out during -the remaining
hours; This makes the heating ot, the
house continuous." V - iZ- t
It ith appratus "for-storing the
heat that Mrvt e Murait has designed.
,' "It very simple," he says,"It looks
more like the odinary hot Water bSllet
than anything else. The owner, of the
electricity, healed house will turd on a
switch atjwy 'll P. M. and allow the
storage device, to fi'l itself at reduced,
rates. This'could be arranged automat-
ically, however. f If for any reason the
storage plant - has i a ilea to secrete
enough electnety during the' day to i89t
through the evenrng, then lighting i!eC-.
tricity could be turned' on." r u

Meridcu, Conn., Jan. 20. Congrc
gational churches in Connecticut may
soon put out "canned" church services
for the benefit of "shut-ins" and other
parishioners who may be prevented
temporarily from attending church.
The Board of Trustees of South Church
of New Britain, one of the largest and
most intluential parishes in this sec
tion, has taken the phonograph scheme
under consideration upon recommenda
tion of A. W. Upson, a trustee.
Mr. Upson reported that he had in

shut-in.i" he had talked with were
delighted with the prospect oi hearing
the pastor's sermon and the choir's
music in such form.
There is little doubt 'that South
Church's lead will be followed by other
churches. The Rev. Albert J. Lord and

awarding the contract for the erection :y,5
of a building to house the water and . v;

tract for the laying of sewer on River-

At the' last meeting of the Board
II. S. Hancock put in a "bid for the ,
erection of the building for the water $v
and light plant. At that time the
Aldermen decided that they wanted -,.
some changes in the plans and placed CijK
the work of making these changes in vf
the hands of a special committee. "A
These changes were made and last
night the committee made a motion
that the contract be awarded to II. b. .
Hancock .contractor and builder of K
this city, his price for the work and ; '
material being $(,K()(). This motion
was carried and Mr. Hancock instruct- ' ;:v
ed to go ahead with the work as soon
as possible. ,
There were several bidders for the jv
contract oi laying sewer on Riverside v'j
and this matter also had been referred
to a special committee. In making
his report Alderman Disosway, chair-
man of this committee, nade a motion ' -:'
that the contract for the work be a-
warded to Frank Hackney, his bid of v'

was carried. i;
Recently the city engineer has had ( i?'
a force of men engaged in grading down ''A'-i

to the placing of pavement. The man-

such that 'it caused considerable dis
Satisfaction on the part of certain-
citizens and yesterday Alderman Kafer
rfffer consulting with another merriher
of the Board ordered the work held

Last night Alderman Baxter, who is " ,
one of the committee interested in the
work on that street, stated to the Board ,Rv
that Alderman Kafer had the work I v;
stopped and that he would like for the , f
City Engineer to give the Board some
information about the .grading now 5;v"
