 bobtail horse railroad cars slowly dsap- pear. The company are over anxious to do something, but, owing to the muddle in the Legislature, there is no chance to get charter for electrictity, this year. If all is well whenit again meets in 1893, they may obtain it. then, of course, all the tracks must be re-laid, involving an- other year and then the press can loudly praise the horse railroad for the great interest it takes in the welfare and con- fort of it's patrons.
