ELECTION OF DIRECTORS, - The
stockholders Of the Evansville Street
Railway Company met yesterday af-
ternoon, at the Office Of j. j. Chand-
Ter. for the purpose Of electing FIVE
Directors, to serve for the ensuing
year, and VIM. Heilman, John j.
Chandler, J. S. Jaquess, Judge John
Law and Dr.. G.. B. Walker were
chosen.
The Board will meet next Satur-
day, to organize and elect officers.
We also learn that it is probable that
steps will be taken to make . change
in the present running arrangements,
By putting down a turn-table at the
junction of Main and Second Streets.
1t is proposed to make two separate
routes. Cars will run from Black
ford's Grove to Second Street and re-
turn; and In like manner from the
Salt Well to Main Street and return.
The Company are DESTROYS Of
doing all in their power to accom-
modate the public, aud believe
that the proposed change will
largely add to the convenience
Of the road. We understand that
three cars will be placed upon the
upper route, and four upon the lower
one. As is already known, only one
car IS at present used on Eighth
Street, and the connections arc not
reliable. We heartily rejoice at the
prospect Of an immediate change, and
believe it will not only prove a great
public convenience. but add largely
to the receipts Of the Company.
