The genius of John J. Wright. a-ttracted‘ their attention. He was taken into the .parttneship with the result that success soon crowned their efforts. and he installed the first electric street lighting system in the United States. The First Electric Railway In 1-882 he returned to Toronto and the following year had ibuilt, with his own hands, a little power house in a shed near the corner of King and Yonge streets, and had a strfing of arc lights on the main thoroughfares ot' the city. The financial success of this eardy attempt at electric light sales enabled him to purchase From Thomas A. Edison an electric locomo- ti-ve. Edison had ‘built the machine in 1882 and tried it out in Menilo Park. The results of the tests may he judged from the‘facit that Edison disposed of his work very cheaply, and the machine was brought to To- nmtto. John Wright purchased the venture with the. idea of several changes and the commencement of an electric. railway. The deail was car- iried through very quietly.

It. ran from the foot of Straohan‘Ayenue into the I‘Ixhi‘bition grounds. l'l'he first year the motor did not operate very well, but the train "got there." The following year Mr. Wright. had' so far improved it that the track was extended. and again lengthened in 1885. The current was taken from copper slips laid in a wooden box besides the rails when the first trials of the train were made. These were soon discarded and the system of trolley pole and overhead wire was substituted. 1To Canada again must'this now almost universal mode of operating electric cars be credited. ll‘his pioneer electric rail- way continued to operate until the year 1892, when the railswa y system of the remainder of Toronto felt the first effects of a system of electrification.

The re- w‘ard ofi'ered by the Government is a large one, and by making the offer it is shown that the Government fully realizes the desirability of Pashtan’s capture. It would certainly have a bad eiTect, especially in this country. if men wanted on serious charges were able to evade capture. i'l'he fear of capture and punishment is a big de- terrent to crime, especially among: foreignem.

A couple of weeks ago such a reward would have. been much more likely to be effective in securing the caiplture of the wanted. l'l‘he chances are that PaShtan is now away from this district and so has a better chance to remain at. liberty. it is quite-true that the offering of the reward comes at. a much earlier time than has been usual in such cases, .but it «is equally true that if there were some sort of fund that could be used even earlier for the capture oftthose wanted by the law the efieet would he‘even more stat- isfaetory to all concerned in the en- fomement of law and order and the due phnisbment of crime. store shed. some distance out of the city.
