I he Toledo, Fostoria & Findlay Electric Railway Co. now oper-ates cars on an honrly schedule between Fi sioria and Findlay. TIr-company proposes, when the road is fully ballasted, to make anaverage speed of 55 miles an hour with its fast trains, which willmake Init few stop between Findlay and Toledo. In response to a demand for a strong and efficient cable in-sulator suitable for extra heavy work, Fred M. Locke, of Victor,N. has brought out the new form presented herewith, whichhe calls his No. 5 cable insulator, This is 4J4 in. in diameter and44 in. high, with a top groove for wire I/z in. in diameter. The. NO. 5 LOCKE CABLE INSULATOR. Locke No. 5 steel pin, with porcelain base, is especially fitted forthe No. 5 cable insulator, and the two make a very strong combina-tion. These new forms are furnished, either in brown or white,and are of the same thoroughly vitrified porcelain always used byMr. Locke in his insulator work. RAILWAY TRACK BROOMS. The accompanying illustration shows a new pattern of railwaytiack brooms which are manufactured by H. Thompson, of Con-cord. N. IL These are being extensi\ely intn duccil on streetrailways in all parts of the country and fillip^ tlie rec|ulrenunts for a strong, liglit lint ilur,-ible looi. The Ijroom is supplied with.•1 patent cleaning and setting tool for track curves and chisel is of hardened steel and is easily changed from onebroom handle to another as the brooms wear out. Circulars and)!ricc lists will hv upon ap|)lication. Satisfactory progress is being made on the new electric roadacross J
