This is good move for the Railroads Travel
ers who have purposod going east this summer,
can now fully realize the old saying that "Procras.
tination is the thief of Time" for it is another
old saying that "Time is money" and by putting
of The purchase of their tickets they have 81 more
to pay between Cleveland and New York than by
the reduced fare Of the few uast weeks We can fam
cy the intense hatred with which the passenger
who buys bis ticket to-day, looks upon the bit Of
pasteboard which his seat.mate bought last Friday
for 81 less than he paid
| Local FARE REDUCED The local fare between
this city aud Buffalo on the Cleveland and Eric
Road has been reduced from So to S4 first class,
and TO 50 second class This reduction will Of
course please travellers over the road
RATE OF SpEED.-A dispatch to the Cincinnati
Commercial of Friday last says that the point
eontendod for by the Pennsylvania Central and
Baltimore and Ohio viz discrimination in favor
philadelphia and Baltmore--has been conceded
by the New York Central. It remains to be seen
whether newer complications can be arranged
one of which is caused by the desire of New York
Iira 60, a.. L. g.
Central, being the shortest line, desires present
fast schedules to remain in force, as that ue can
make the time with ease"
Now there is more Of what is called "buT" in
the above than anything else, in that portion orit
10 particular which rcltes to speed We are in
formed from reliable source that the Northern
New York lines have been ready at any time, Il
provoked to itby the Pennsylvania line, 10 make
their time two or three hours quicker than the
present schedule, between New York aud Coum-
bus. We have no doubt Of their ability to do this
as their connexions never were more promptly
made than since the present fast schedule was
adopted, and it is the opinion, we believe, Of En-
gineers and Contractors who are acquainted with
the two routes, that locomotive can dlaw forty
cars to New York over the Northern line, at the
same speed aud with as much case as it can take
twenty-five ever the Southern. When the heavy
grades ofthe Southern lines and the smooth track
Ofthe Northern are taken into account, we think
we are safe in stating the above as a fact. The
Pennsylvania Central is the shortest line ia miles
but the New York Central the shortest cquated
CHANGE OF TmE.-A new time card goes into
effect on most of the Cleveland Railroads to-day
The change is not great, being principally in the
evening trains connecting with steamboats,.

THE STREET RAILRoAD.-Thoro were, in Tn
synopsis Of a new Street Railroad Ordinance
which we published few days ago, some point
which might be criticised, aud some Improvement
which might be made, One is in reference I
speed The ordinance provides that five mile
per hour shall be the maximum speed. Now W
think that such restriction will not meet th
wants of the public. It is well known lby thos
} familiar with the horse cars in use in New Yor
and Philadelphia, that by the application Of tn
brakes, car can be stopped almost instantly
less than the length of the car ltis different fror
a railroad train. In that the momentum is =
great that il cannot be very quickly stopped, bu
IN horse car, with from twelve to thirty passen
gers, the brakes will act in an instant. Five mile
per hour is hardly faster than a walk, aud Is To-
q, slow. At six or seven miles per hour, the ca
could be stopped within its length at danger or
crossing. In New York whore there is peroC
tide Of travel at all times the cars go az ihe rate
about seven miles per hour, including stoppagcl
aud surely upon our wide and straight streets W
can equal their speed with almost double the safety
Again the ordinance provides that the horses 0
mules shall walk at street crossings. This too,
:. unnecessary As said above, the cars can be stoF
ped so quickly that a collision with teams or rut
ming oyer any foot passengers at crossings woul
be hardly probable Let us have a speed that vii
take us to the Seminary aud Water Cure In twent
minutes, and to Woodland in twenty-five.
Iu regard to the kind Of car to be used, we thin
it will be found that single horse cars, the size 9
, the present omnibus will be found preferable I
two horse cars Tor in this way, instead Of tw
horse car every half hour or three quarters we ca
it have double the number Of vehicles, which cm
y start every ten or fifteen minutes The moro car
id we can have, the ofteuer will they run, thereb
2 accommodating the public more'sati isiaotory an
y prevent any gramhng at waiting on tho corner
a Ia thesun or rain, for the car.
Z Itwould be good idea to have the track Of sue
Z, a width that buggies, which are mostly Of un
4 form width, can run over the same rails. This
D the case, we thluk Ia Philadelphia, where th
p track is Of just the width Of the "Philadelphi
'S buggy"
This ordinance will probably be brought up to
morrow night ia the Council and we hope th
o. subject viii be carefully considered by all.
