FIT fourth street and even that Is not made TO
adori all the accommodation TO the public il might do
On the way-Dp town in one of the Of this line
we inquired Of the conductor how often cars ran up to

the reply was He did not know not very often; AMI

Fifty ninth street attention directed to car
then at distance and on its way up, and which had
stated before arrival at that point They could
rot any how it would go again-t had to go
up wait little while there, and then return first
After awaiting the return of this upper-secton car
merely for the purpose Of ascertaning the extent of
the accommodations afforded the public the driver
fastened the reins of his horses, apparently intend

trip; and on being asked how soon he would start
again, coOlly replied that the car would not leave
for the terminus until three other cars had come up
from below, which detention submitted to rather
than walk the distance, merely in order to carry out
the object we had in view. 1t is very evident
from the course pursued that the Company only

of their charter and mean to compel peOI to walk
at least those persons who in too great hurry to

modations. Ore passenger stated that he was in the
habit of passing the road daily, but only about
once week was fortunate as to escape detention
or the necessity of walking the seven blocks. And

as much cause for complaint, for the upper-secton

Nnharenue Line.--Ader putting down the rails
for this road in Ninth avenue from Ffyrst street to
its lower terminus, and thence one track through
Ganseyoo street to Washington street, the further
col structon Of the road stopped by an injunction
obtained by property-Owners in Greenwich aud wash

Appeals and is expected to be disposed of at the next

ready built, at cost of $780, 900, is going to ruin.
