The train then returned to the p, W |
d Is. depot again and from that back |
up Market and out to Riverview the |
extreme eastern limit OF the system. |
The note worthy incidents on the way /
was taking on Dr. Shortlidge at 18th |
and Market streets and the sight of 2 |
negro women mines playing baseball at |
kiveryiew Park. Ten minutes were |
spent in looking around at Rivefvlew |
when the train started back and turn
ing into Tenth street at Market the de-
hghtful trip was soon ended.
AS this may be said to be the COM |
mencement Of the new system IL is
gested. Vlce-President Preston Lea Is |
Intensely Interested In giving the peo-
pie hasty and safe transit and cheap |
fares, and the present plan will be sub |
ject to many improvements.
Superintendent Archer last evening,
issued the following new regulations,
which for the present will govern the
system: -....
ave will run six (6) cars on the Del
aware avenue line, eight (S) minutes
apart, between the b. K O.statien, cor
ner Delaware avenue and DUPONT
street, and the p, w. IL B. station at
Font and French streets. alternating
with the cars OF the Eighth street and
Riverview branches between Eighth
and Market streets and the p, w. d
b. station. The cars of the Inter
lines will continue to run on twelve
minute schedule until our new cars
arrive, when, ii found necessary. more
cars will be added to accommodate
travel.
at Is our intention, In fact to run
Just as many cars especially during
the heavy parts of the day, that Is,
noon and evening also market days,
Sunday afternoons, rs the travel will
warrant. After some more cars
are equipped there will be eight cars
run on the Delaware avenue line on a
slx-minute headway, four cars on each
OF the Riverview and Eighth street
branches, ona twelve minute Roadway
divided below Eighth and Market
streets into O three-minuto Roadway,
except as above mentioned during
heavy travel, when the service on Della
ware avenue will be increased to five
minute cars and the branches to ten
minutes. which will give the patrons
car every two and one-half minutes be-
tween Eighth and Market streets and
the T., W. Il Il. station.
For the present but two cars will
be run on the Rising Sun line until
some more OF the trail cars arc finished
when Rising Sun cars will be trailed
behind Delaware avenue cars direct to
and from the p. w. a. b. station.
'aThe Front street lines, from Front
and Market over Front street to French
up French and over Fourth, Spruce,
Eleventh and Claymont streets to VAN
aeyer avenue, will be operated as one
through line with eight horse cars rum
ming on ten minute Roadway. BY
the foregoing plan the system of trans
ferrlng passengers will be simpliiied.
THE corner of Eighth and Market
streets will be tho only point OF transfer
between the Delaware avenue, Eighth
street and Riverview cars, and trans
fers will be given to passengers going
in town who desire to go out on either
OF the other two lines. No transfers
whatever will be given to passenger 8
coming up or out OF town. At this
point they must take the proper car,
which will be designated by signs on
front and sides OF the cars.
AT the Philadelphia, Wilmington &
Baltimore station the electric cars will
issue free transfer TO passengers de-
string TO go either out Front, or over
: Front and Eleventh streets.
"Ihe Front, Fourth, and Eleventh
, street cars will also issue transfer at
, this point, good up Market and to Riv'
ervlew, or out Eighth street, or out
: Delaware avenue, but must. of course.
be used on proper car, as no transfer
, will be made at Eighth or Tenth streets
should passengers take a wrong car,
. Transfers will also be given as usual
at the Middle Depot to passengers FOL
Rising sun.
