street at oclock. after run of fifteen
minutes. The folio wing officers and
stockholders got on board. President
William Candy, Secretary John F Miller
Daniel w. Taylor, F. B Cotton, Elwood
Garrett and John G. Clark.
The car made round trip in half an
hour Car No. 81 and No. 80 were also
tried with perfect success, G. B. Niles
running them. Each car has two motors
either of which is powerful enought for
the work required. The cars ran up
the steep grade from Monroe
street with good speed The brakes are
of the lever pattern, similar to those in
use on the Philadelphia cable cars; they
areimore powerful than the old brake.

fifteen minutes when the road is in opera
tion, thus connecting with every other

Prints In Fnl,irInr.

On King street, yesterday blind man
was playing an ACCORDION that had seen
better days and through which escaped
discordant gasps Of air, In his hand he
carried a hat. in which sympathetic
passers by dropped money. A JOURNAL
reporter possessed of little curiosity,
determined to find out what his receipts
were. Inside Of twenty minutes thirty
five persons dropped money into his hat.
Very few Of them gave less than ? cents.
AS near as could be judged, he took
ins that twenty minutes about 40 cents.
As it was market day it would be fair to
assume that this rate would continue
about six hours, and the man would take
in 1920 as days work. The JOURNAL
man concluded that there were some
things better than his business after all.
Among those who contributed II was
noticed that young men and old women
were the principal contributors to the old
mans hat. Several negroes dropped in
their coppers and even John Chinaman
dropped nickel to the old fellow.
