Again Being Revived.

Last spring and during the early sum-
mer citizens along the motor line agi-
tated the building Of an electric light
plant somewhere near Altenheim, to
furnish light between Elm Grove and
Fulton. Those interested were taking
stock freely when the depression came,
and for the time thu entire matter was
laid over. Now, with the return OF
brighter times, the matter is again be-
ing placed on its feet, and stakeholder
assures the REGISTER that the improve
ment is sure go. To have the pike
from here to Elm Grove lighted by cleo
tricity, really uniting Elm Grove and
all the intermediate places to Wheeling,
Is a fond hope OF many.

Entire sy.tem in Operation.

The new street car company last
Saturday night ran its first car over the
entire route, or to Martins Ferry. The
cars were packed all day yesterday, re-
sultlng in by far the most successful
day since the opening Of the road.
When the first car was at the Standard
switch in Etnavlle the motOrman ran
across the circuit breaker without
shutting off the power. This caused a
blaze which caused considerable excite
mept for a time. The matter was soon
remedled, however, and what little
damage done was made good yesterday

which was to the effect that before
any money was paid out for rain the
people should wait until after camp
meeting, which begins a week from
next Monday and which never fails to
bring rain, and that if this year
proves no exception to the rule the
money be turned to him for the es-
