GRAVITY CURVES.
They Failed to Work on the
JOnes-Street Line.

The cross-town branch of the California
street Railroad Company'S system is not yet
in full operation, but will be before the
end of the week. The cars are now running
from the terminus at the foot of Hyde
street to the junction of 0Farrell and Mar
ket.
Twelve cars were running Yesterday, hay
ing about four ana half minutes Roadway.
A large number of men are being broken in
as conductors and gripmen, and as soon as
they are qualified the full complement of
twenty-five cars will be put in operation.
AT present the cars only run from 1880
o'clock in the morning to o'clock in the
evening, but as soon as the employees are
familiar with the road and the numerous
crossings a regular timetable will be ar
ranged and cars will run at about the same
hours as other cable lines.
At present the road Is working quite
smoothly except in two places. namely, the
curves at the corner of OFarrell and Jones
and Pine and Jones streets 1t is under
stood that James b. Stetson, President of
the road, insisted On having gravity
curves" placed at the points mentioned, con-
trary to the advice of the engineers having
charge of the construction of the road,
claiming that the cars, after the cable was
let 60, would round the curves of their own
momentum. But the cars obstnately re-
fuse to do so as Mr.. Stetson would like to
see them do.
There is quite grade on O'Farrell street,
from Taylor to Jones, and when car going
north lets go the cable it takes six or eight
men to push it around the curve The grade
up Jones street is not so steep, and only two
men are required to assist the cars around
curves at Pine and Jones streets. Gravity
curves are no new things either here or in
Oakland, but the President failed to es-
innate the momentum required to climb the
grade after letting go of the rope and round
Tue long curves to the takiDg-up point.
The cable that runs the cars mentioned
passes from the eDgine-hOuse down Jones
to Market, up Jones again, down 0'Far-
rell, mp the other side, round wheel at
the corner of Jones, and up to the house
again. j. w. Harris. superintendent of the
road, said yesterday: when the cable
comes up OFarrel street it passes round a
wheel in the middle Of the track at Jones
street 1t does not follow the curve, 50 the
cable has to be let go. Iii it followed the
curve, the cars coming up Jones street,
which is also upgrade there, would not
