upon the strange spectacle with great

Mitchell first appeared in the State when all
the world was talking about the fair that was

Worlds Fair commissioners and told them that
he was going to write and publish a sOuve-

Exposition, and offered them share of his re-
ceiDts If given permission TO sell the book in
the State building. That was one part OF the
little scheme.
The commissioners gave him permission to
print his souvenir aud sell II provided the con.
tents were uuObjectionable and he turned over
a certain percentage OF the profits.
Having thus received official recognition,
Mitchell went forth to gather coin from wealthy
citizens who were anxious to see their names

second part OF his scheme.

In street railway matters has appeared IN the
person of Mr. Vining, the newly elected mama

While this is in the main responsible for Mr..
Haley's retirement there is also another reason.
The gentleman mentioned is getting well along
in years, being now 81, and he IA no longer
possessed of that agreeable temperament which
made him such an effective adjunct OF the rail-

Mr.. Haley Is awfully irritable when things

EXIT THE HORSE CAR.
The Electric Cars to be introduced on the
Bridge Line Tomorrow.

The Electric Cars to be introduced ON the
Bridge line Tomorrow.
The last horse car will vanish from
the vision of the people of the three
cities tonight, in all probability. and
hereafter electricity will be the mode
of propulsion in all cases. Who with
pride in the city, and appreciation Of
all that contributes to modern pro-
gress, will shed tears of regret when
the last evidence of mule power shall
have disappearedf In the matter
of modes OF local transit the
cities of Rock Island, Moline and
Davenport have been in advance Of
other cities of equal population
throughout the country ever since
the present ownership OF the tri-
city lines began, and, it is no
fault of theirs that the bridge branch
OF the system has not been brought
up to the others in proper equipment
before this. The company has sought
since the introduction of electric mo-
tive power the privilege eof bringing
the line between Rock Island and Dav-
export up to the standard Of its gen.
eral system, but it was not until the
past winter that the proper authori-
ty could be obtained to make the de-
sired change. Once having the
right to make the improvement, the
company lost no time in preparing
for it, and unless something now nm
foreseen intervencs the trial trip be-
tween Rock Island and Davenport
by electricity will be made late this
afternoon or this evening, and if
everything proves satisfactory the
regular service will be entered upon
tomorrow.
The New Service.
There will be five cars on this
branch. four of which will be started
out at first and are expected to fur
nish the service of six to eight horse
ears. the difference in time being
made up within the cities of Rock ISL
and and Davenport and on Fort Arm
strong avenue. though the speed will
he more or less limited over the en-
tire government possessions. Each
of the electric motors will be manned
by two men, a motorman and con-
ductOr, aud the company will re-
quire that the crews be nicely
uniformed from the first, and no ey-
ception will be permitted under any
circumstances. While the cars are
the same color as those running on
the Elm street line in Rock Island
and the Northwest Davenport line in
Davenport. which were originally
designed for the bridge line sand
which will eventually be repainted
the standard color of canary yellow,
there need oe no confusion in the
meantime, as the bridge cars are
much longer than the others and are
readily designated day and night by
the appearance of the words bridge
Line" cut in the sides and ends of
the transoms.
Electrical Engineer Frcdericks will
arrive from Chicago tomorrow morn
ing to oversee the starting of the
cars. and the company will make an
effort to begin running by electrici-
ity on the bridge line tomorrow,
though it may be disappointed.
President Louderback may also be
here to witness the formal Inaugural
ton.
