Another New Car.

The street car company turned out
another new car yesterday, and it
made its first run on the red car line.
for which it was built by the foreman
of the shops here, Mr.. W. I. Dryden.
tits light and airy summer car after
the fashion in use at Washington and
other cities farther north, and is only
designed for service in dry weather.
The seats, two in number, are length
wise or fore and aft, as the sailors
say, extending full length of the car
and are directly in the center of the
car, arranged back to back, There
are no side bulwarks, or doorways, and
passengers step right from the street
into the car from the side.
or OFT In the same way. A light built
root with awnings or curtains pendant
from the edges protects travellers from
the sunshine. There is considerable
novelty about the new car, Judging
from the way urchins focked about
and ran after it last evening and to-
day. Superintendent Semmes and other
officers Of the company here regard the
car with much favor, as the style is
very serviceable while the cost OF
structure is much less than the heav-
Ter sort with side walls, windows and
doors. As before remarked bowevor
the open air car will be laid up when
1t is wet.

 PROVIDENCE, Jan. 9.-The second meeting of the seventeenth annual convention of the Bricklayers' National Union was held in Cheapside Hall, North Main street. to day The morning session was taken up mainly in listening to reports of committees and mak- ing preparations for the transaction of the important business to come before the con- vention.

Now there are about sixty subordinate unions with an aggregate mem- bership of nearly 10000, one lodge alone in New York having 1,4oo members, and another prosperous lodge in Cincinnati having 300 members and $S,OOO in the treasury. There are now unions as far south as South Carolina, west as far as Omaha, five unions in Canada and unions in all the eastern States
 The afternoon session opened at o'clock and continued till o'clock, when the meet ing adjourned. No special business was transacted beyond hearing the reports of the several committees and still further perfect ing the organization of the convention The real business of public interest will probably be brought up at the afternoon session to- morrow. complimentary banquet was given in Cheapside Hall tonight at o'clock by the Journeymen Masons' Union of Prov idence in honor of this convention of the ted States and Canada, and large gathering was present

The Schedule of ChemtcaIs-AR Reduction
 Made By the Ways and Means Conn
 mittee -The Tax on Tobacco - Other
 Matters.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-The Committee on Ways and Means in revising the tariff bill to- day completed the schedule of chemicals and considered about half of the schedule of metals. The paragraph relating to files was stricken out and the duty on files of all grades placed at 40 per cent ad valorem, and the rate on the tin plates and taggers plates was reduced from $2 to $1.1O, the present rate. These were the only material chahges made by the revision.
 At the meeting of the National Tobacco association to day resolutions were adopted urging tax reduction of eight cents per pound on plug, fine cut chewing and smok- ing tobacco and snuff, and reduction to $3 per thousand on cigars, and on cigarettes to 75 cents per thousand, to go into effect May 1, 1883. Congress is also asked to provide for rebate equal to this reduction, except ing only on claims for less than $1. The as- sociation protests against the authorization of the sale of leaf tobacco free of tax to con- sumers.
 In the Star route trial today testimony was taken relative to the operations of the Star service between Pueblo and Rosita.

After further testi- mony by MT. Walter, postmaster at Green wood, and MT. Woods, assistant postmaster at Pueblo, as to what direction mail matter went the court adjourned.
