Road Gets Five minute Cars.
Yesterday the Citizens Traction Company
inaugurated a new schedule on the Sharps-

ner in which the cars were heretofore run in
voked considerable comment by the patrons of
the line. The company now runs cars every
five minutes, instead of an intermisson of 20
minutes or so, and this new departure has
caused general satisfaction among the Sharps-
burg residents.
The company will in the near future adopt
electricity for motive power on this division.
The number Of cars will be increased to-day,
the first car leaving Sharpsburg at $50 A. M.
and the last car returning will leave at II p. NJ.
