ELECTRIC CARS AT LAST.
The Jefferson Street Line to BE in Full
Blast Tomorrow


Blast Tomorrow
Roanoke has at last that looked
for, longed for, much to be desired ad-
junct OF all enterprising clties-an
electric railway. 1t stretches from the
corner of Campbell and Jefferson streets
to Crystal Spring, and is but the short
forerunner of many miles of equally
smooth and desirable electric lines.
The beautiful cream white, olive
green, brown and yellow cars of the
Roanoke street railway are here and
the first OF them, No. IA, was hauled
upon the tracks yesterday. the trolley
swung into position, the track swept
and all made ready yesterday morning.
Several experimental trips were made
to try the gearing, under the superin-
tendence of a representative OF the
Westinghouse Company, from whose
shops the cars were turned out.
trip was made to the Jefferson
street bridge at o'clock in the after
noon with carload of prominent peo-
pie aboard. The car went flying up the
Jefferson street grade at good stiff
rate OF speed not less than eight miles
an hour, and in places as high as ten.
The car was easily handled, and one
thing, which was particularly pleasing
to the managers, it was regarded with
indifference by nearly every horse which
was passed.
General Manager w. +. Carr was we'll
satisfied with the experimental trips,
and said that the line would be in full
operation Thursday morning.
