DIFFICULTIES IN THE CARs.-It is not I'M
common that disagreements occur in the street
cars between the passengers ana conductors,
growing out of various causes Not unfre-
Quently is n bank bill C)erhapS q doubtful one)
offered, " hich the conductor refuses to receive.
and if the passenger be one of the unrea sonaiA
sort often met with in the cars, a rumpus il
mediately ems nes, ending IN most cases with the
passenger being put OIL who in turn threatens
TO req ort the conductor. As an example, in
riding day or two since the distance of mile,
We saw that OF the nine persons who got on in
that distance six OF the number rendered bills
for tn, ir fare, but two of which were current in
the District. In these times, when there are 81
many bills in circulation that il is Impossible
Tor any but an expert 10 tell the genuine in all
cases, the company have adopted a.rule forbid
ding the conductors 10 receive any bills other
nan treasury notes and those of city banks
To guard against all difficulties OIL this score
AZ would be we'll for passengers TO provide
themselves with the necessary change before
taking car.
Many persons seem under the impression
that transfer ticket is good for any part of the
line, ard not unfrequentiy persons get ont OF
tn cars al the Junction., and after securing the
transfer, instead of waiting a few moments and
taxing the car 10 the end of their journey, walk
on some squares, and perhaps spend some
hours IN shopping, marketing, &c, and waiting
a tbp ian
take passage, under the impression that the
transfer is still good. Many instances OF this
kind buve come 10 the notice Of the COMPANY:
and In some meas ure 10 remedy this defect, con-
ductors have been ms tructed only 10 take trans
fers from passengers getting in the cars ar the
functions. Another hint should b. taken by the
public. Often when the j. nearing a iunc-
ton, the passengers Jump OF and run TO take
car on the line they wish TO proceed on, not
