Cable cars for street railways are being

trate how a small incident will settle the
fate of important experiments. tits known
to most readers of railway history that the
first experiments of railroad building in the
United States were at Baltimore. in 1890.
when cars were first run on fifteen miles of
the Baltimore 81 Ohio railroad, out to the
Relay House. The road was built TO be
operated by horse power. No other plan
was proposed. But genius was planning
and designing. The cable was proposed,
and was applied. After spending in prepa-
ration several thousands of dol
lars, trial trip was proposed, and
all of the editors of Baltimore,
Annapolis, and we believe some from
Washington was invited TO 60 on the trial
trip. 1t was exclusively of editors. All
went well until they were out four or FIVE
miles from Baltimore, when an old cow got
on the track and was run over, and dumped
all OF the editors into the ditch full of filth
and muddy water. The editors got home
on loot and by farm wagons. greatly de-
