Astray on Street Cars.

'T WANT to get out at the Forks of the
| Road" said lady to the conductor on a
DuqueSne car on Thursday morning.
''Sorry, ma am," said he, "but you're on the
wrong car" and giving her directions how
to find the Citizens line, he stopped the car
and let her off. Fortunately for the lady,
who was not very young, the car had barely
reached Grant street when her error was
discovered.
"That sort of thing happens about once
every trip" said the con ductor in answer to
my question. people get on cars without
asking their destination, and expect the con-
ductor to know by second-sight where they
want to CO. A few days ago lady
got on my car at Craft avenue, and
when it started toward the city she
was furious, for she was bound for
East Liberty. She blamed me for not
telling which way the car was going when
she entered it. 1t keeps me busy remem-
bering where a dozen people in the car want
to be set down, and wonder 1 don't make
more mistakes The cars in the morning
and evening are easier to handle in this re-
gard, for then the bulk of the passengers
are going to work downtown or coming
home"
In the course of street car tour already
described in The DISPATCH the writer OBJ
served four instances of passengers astray.
One was messenger boy who had entered
Birmingham car under the impression it
would take him to East Liberty: another was
the lady referred to above; a third was an
errand boy who overshot his destination on
Wylie avenue by eight or ten blocks, and
the fourth instance involved two young
men who didn't discover they were not GO
ing towards Monterey and North streets in
Allegheny till the Pleasant Valley car had
carried them to the top of Observatory Hill.
From which it would appear that street car
conductors have cause to blame the public
for perversity and blindness.

laughter as he successfully contrasted
the boy that used to be with the boy
that is, the old-time boy, studious,
diIigent and respectful with the boy
that plays baseball on Sunday; the
ruhy-lipped, rosy checked girl of long
ago and the pale fashionable creature
of to-day-the good old mother with
the earaway cookies at hand and the
mother of to-day, but he failed to
bring the fathers in. The audience
dispersed well-pleased with the exer-
cises and the ladies wish to thank all
who SO kindly and ably assisted them.

and the groom and bride, elegantly
and tastily altired for the occasion,
stood the ordeal and interested gaze
of the guests heroicaliy to its close.
After congratulations, earnest, sin
cere and cordial an elegant wedding
supper was the next on programme
and at which the guests did full duty
TO themselves and to the occasion.
At eight o'clock the entire party left
for the home OF the groom near the
town OF Blackfoot. Here they were
reinforced By large party of friends
OF the contracting parties from town
and vicinity and the evening was
spent in the fullest enjoyment Of such
an auspicious occasion. At1I o'clock
an elegant collation. was spread and
the guests proved themselves as ear
nest as at the wedding supper. At a
late hour, the friends, one by one,
with hearty expressions of good
wishes for long and happy married
life babe the groom and bride good
night and left them to the enjoyment
of the quiet pleasure of "at home.
The bridal presents were many, costly
and some of them elegant. Tue News

tie of good luck over the pathway Of
the happy couple, and joins the r
friends in every expression of good
will and good wishes.

Ships With Water.

yesterday afternoon, Major Rinehart was the
only member absent.
Captain Bryant's proposition to supply ship
ping in the harDor with water was again brought
up for consideration. Captain Bryant appeared
before the board, and stated that he would take
the water by the year, month or gallon. Alder
man Bogardus wanted TO know If the board had
the authority to make such contract. He
thought the water could be put to more jul
dicious use by leasing. and was in favor of so
doing. Captain Bryant said that he would
take water either from the city or the Duwamish
river, whichever was most convenient, and
would have regular wharf from which to
supply If. He would establish a uniform rate
and would give bond that this rate would be
maintained Considerable discussion OF the
question followed, in which Mr. Baker, Nj
Chalk, and Captain Kane, of the steamer j. C.
Britain, took part. The board took the matter
under adTisement.
