WASHINGTON, June 1st.-Before
the Potter Committee to-day, Judge
Shellabarger, counsel for Sher-
man, said in reply to a question,
that he had no knowledge Of
Sherman's ever having written
such a letter. Butler offered q res
oiution, which was adopted, pro-
vlding that the paper identified
be received but not read until Sec
rotary Sherman be called before
the committee and have an oppor-
tunity to see it, whereupon Chair
man Potter notified Sherman of
the action of the committee. A
letter was produced, signed by wit
ness, addressed to Weber, stating
that Packard was raising hell be-
cause of their refusal to protest
against the returns in their respec-
tives parishes. Recess.
After recess Secretary Sherman
appeared and the letter which was
claimed by Anderson to be a reply
to his letter, was shown to the Sec
rotary, who said: "Mr. Chairman,
| believe, upon my responsibility,
from the view 1 have taken, that
| never wrote such letter. If
have written it, it must have been
when the Returning Board con-
vened to count the returns and I
do not believe 1 ever wrote this
letter. AT the same time there are
things in this letter L would have
written to these or any other men
engaged in such occupation, but
| don't believe I wrote this let.
ter.n
A vote was then taken on the
question of having the letter read
and it resulted aflirmatively. 1t
is in substance as follows:
Your note of even date lust re-
ceived. Neither Mr.. Hayes, my
self nor the other gentlemen with
me shall forget the obligations un.
der which you will have placed us

The Horse Railroad Company are now more
than ever striving to accommodate the public
in the way of furnishing ready means of trans
sportation. Complaint has often been made
that cars do not run often enough on Congress
street and it is common remark that when
Car is wanted it is never to be had. To remove
this difficulty the directors made arrangements
some time ago to run smaller cars and have
more OF them. Accordingly last winter work.
| men began the construction of new cars at the
| shop of the company on Spring street. Two of
these cars are now completed and will 90 ont
| in day or two. Two more will follow in a
| short time and the last two, making six in all.
will go on in about four weeks. With these
six cars, each to be drawn by one horse there
will be car every seven and half minutes on
the Congress street line. This will certainly be
frequent enough for the most fastidous and
cannot fail to be appreciated by all who pat
ronze street cars.
While the design of the new cars is much
the same as was employed in the new Spring
street cars, the new ones are finished in much
better style, and are of better appearance gen.
orally. The cars are entered 10 front, and the
first thing that attracts attention on stepping
on the platform is large mirror which is so
set that the driver can at all times see the en-
tire interior of the car. Another large mirror
at the rear of the car will allow the ladies to
get glimpse of themselves before taking their
seats. A new patent change gate in the door
will be found convenient. The interior of the
cars are finished in birds eye maple and cherry,
while slat seats are used. The car is lighted
by large lantern in the centre of bullseye
in front. These lights are all green SO as to
distinguish the cars of this line from the Spring
street line in the night-an excellent idea.
The floor is neatly carpeted and the windows |
have shades to keep out the sun. A patent /
money box registers the number of fares put |
in and the driver can easily see just how /
many have paid. The cars are set upon patent |
rubber springs which will make them ride /
very easily. The outside is painted In several /
colors, white and green being the prevailing |
ones, SO that the color of the cars and the /
lights will correspond. The company have /
been to quite an expense in making arrange
ments for this change, outside of the new cars. /
Turn tables have been put in on Munjoy Hill, |
at the West End and at the Car house, and |
several additional turnouts built Superinten-
dent Leach has been making changes in his /
horses, and by disposing of his smaller ones |
for those of large size he has now nearly all |
heavy young horses When the change in /
time goes into effect each horse will be required
to make but four trips each day. An extra
horse will be used in getting up MuDjoy Hill /
