First Day of lis Regular Operation Cars
Attract General Attention aud Do u
Fine Busino-s- Experience of "a B" Times -
Reporter.
The men employed by the Electric
Car Company were ordered To- report for
duty Yesterday morning a. q o'clock
Promptly at that hour the employees were
az the car sheds, corner Twenty ninth
and p streets, 10 take charge Of the cars
which were TO be run regularly for the
first time.
Ten cars were put upon the line, each
under the management Of brakeman
and a conductor, who were neatly atlired
in perfect fitting gray suits and caps,
with shining metal badges upon their
breasts TO denote the number of the car
10 which they were attached. From all
appearances, before the reporter en-
barked upon a car, they seemed to be
running smoothly and to be doing quite
a business
In the afternoon the reporter stepped
upon car No % AT the corner of Ninth
and Bank streets, and managed to squeeze
through the crowd which stood upon the
platform. On the car were 50 persons,
mostly composed Of ladies. who were en-
loving the novelty of being passengers
Oh a car propelled by an invisible motor
From Ninth and Bank they went three
squares smoothly At the sharp curve
at Twelfth and Bank streets, however,
this car ran oil the track, but was very
quickly replaced 1t then glided along
alright until another up grade curve at
Twenty and Franklin streets
was reached and for few min
utes was again delayed At every
other curve No 20 seemed to have diff.
Guilty. and ii was soon found out that the
cause Of the trouble was in the track
brake. which was used a- track cleaner,
bui was adjusted so low as TO prevent
the car from running. This seemed 10
be the only trouble during the day.
The reporter took No II on the re
turn trip. and left the car sheds at 800
and stepped OH the car at Bank and
Ninth at 5.4j, making the return trip in
- minutes.
There will be night and day force en-
,iloyed The day men 90 on at II O'Clock
am. and quit at pm; the night hands
90 on al pm, and run in az II mid
night.
There is no doubt that the perfect
success of the road ia an assured fact,
from The practical and satisfactory test
which was given yesterday, and which
proved its convenience to the large num-
Der who ayailed themselves of the oppor-
tunity TO go from one end of the city TO
the other, as well as those who merely
the road as novelty and
pleasure
This enterprise puts Richmond in the
front rank Now let us have the in
candescent lights as soon as possible.

The Weekly Evening Post.

The New York Evening Post will
begin, on the third of May, to issue
a weekly edition, having for its
principal aim the promotion of rev.
enue Reform, which has become
the paramount issse in national
politics. The existence of an actual
surplus in the Treasury estimated
to reach $14O,O0O,OO0 on the Both of
June, 1888, and the further increase
thereof under present laws, are o
menace to all business interests,
and a direct incentive to wasteful-
ness and corruption in the appro-
priations of public money. The at
tention of the people having been
strongly drawn to this subject by
the President in his last annual
message, the need of information
and popular enlightenment on ques-
tons of revenue and taxation has
been increasingly felt in all parts
of the country. 1t is the intention
of the management to make first
class weekly newspaper of II pages.
Subscription price 81 per year. A
free copy of the first number will be
mailed anywhere on request. Send
address on on postal card to the
Evening Post, New York.
