EXIT B0BTAlL STREET CARS.
The Passenger no Longer Forced to be
His Own Conductor.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.I
NEW YORK, September 1.-The career
of the bobtail car is at an end. There was
not horse car running on New York
streets to-day which did not carry con-
ductor to collect the fares of the passengers.
Some of the crosstown lines are still running
the old jigger cars, but each and every
one has a conductor attached to the
stump of the bobtail. An ordinance
passed by the Board of Aldermen
on June 26 ordered every car to be pro-
vided with conductors on September /.
The Christopher and Tenth Street Railroad
asked some time ago for an extension of time
to November 1, when their new cars are to
be ready. The Aldermen agreed to give
this extension, but the Mayor vetoed it.
All the roads were accordingly put on the
same level.
Over 150 men went to work to-day for the
first time on the various roads. They re-
ceive from 81 to 81 30 a day, according to
the job. All the lines will probably in
time have commodious new cars running,
as the example of the Twenty-third street
and Seventh avenue roads in replacing the
small, narrow jiggers with the expensive
cars now in use has proved preferable.

CLEVELAND, O., September 1.-The rec
ords of the Bankruptcy Court for the North
ern district OF Ohio bear the petition in
bankruptcy of one John Hester. The Hes
ter case, as it was called, was the most inter-
esting and romantic one ever brought before
the court of this district The story, as re-
lated to the writer by the Register of the
court, is as follows:
John Hester was a well-to-do farmer of
Huron county, o. He had one pretty
daughter, who was sent to Oberlin to school.
There she attracted the attention of an un-
tanned youth from Michigan, whose wealthy
parents had intrusted him to the reformatory
energies of Oberlin, and no sooner had the
youth declared his sudden passion than,
without waiting for the sanction of the
Michigan parents, she hied to her fathers
home in Huron county and married him on
the instant.
