RAPID TRANSIT AT HAND
Hust1ing Work of the Con-

Company.

The residents of the Greenville section
who boarded the old green horse cars
yesterday morning on their way to work
met with a most agreeable surprise when
they reached the Junction" They ex-
pected that they would be taken to the
lower part of the city via Lafayette, and
when the junction was reached and the
conductors called out change cars"
they looked bewildered aud each asked
the other what 1t all meant. A solution
of the matter, however. was found In
the electric motor, which was standing a
few feet farther down the track. The
announcement, this way for tee ferry"
made by the conductor on the motor soon
attracted the passengers, aud as soon
as all were on board the mOtOrmRuy
gave the motive Il a twist and off
went the happy Greenvilleites at a rate
speed that was indeed new to them. The
news that the motors were "runufn & to
the Junction. soon reached Greenv lille,
and the property OWNERS, business men
aud residents in general wers ubI-

HUsTLING WORK.
The Consolidated Traction Company is
earning a record for itself as a hustlinR
coucern. Its work on Grand street is
nothing short of remarkable. The tracks
were lald aud the gauge changed with
astonishing quickness.
On Monday night 4 remarkable piece Of
work was performed on that section OF
Grand street between Jersey and Pacific
This short piece OF track caused the
company considerable trouble. All the
belt line cars passed over it, aud to
chance the gauge meant TO cripple traffic
while the change was being made. Con-
sequently it was decided to make this
change at night. A large gasoline torch
WAS secured q Monday night the meu
began the work. The few cars that did
pass over the liue while the Change Was
being made had u lively time.
The 8 Sitch at Jersey avenue failed to
keep the cars Oh the track and almost
