DEATH TO THE TROLLEY
Successful Operation Of the Ninth Street
Underground Electric Road
Two Motors Sent Over the Entire Line
Without the Slightest
Trouble.

Just after the last horse car of the 9th
street line left its southern terminus last
night the Metropolitan Railroad Company
started two of its new electric motors over
Its north and south line on a trial trip.
From the moment the cars started from
the power house, at the foot of AZ street,
until they returned after traversing the en-
tire distance to Garfield Hospital at Bound
airy and 10th streets. there was not the
slightest interruption Of the transit, except
when the forward car was stopped to see
that the switches were not misplaced and
to remove distractions In the slot rail and
conduit.
What made this trip of especial interest
to the officers of the company was the fact
that 1t rained during almost the entire time
that the cars were out, and pools of water
formed themselves along the entire route
on the asphalt. This rain, together with
the heavy rain of the previous night, had
made the conduit as damp ordinary
winter weather would make it, but not
withstanding the presence of so much mois-
ture, no leak of electricity was shown up
on the ammeters at the power house. where
the force Of the current is constantly reg
iStered.
The next trial will be of train made up
CT motor and trailer car If the trip of
this train is as satisfactory as the trial
last night the public may expect to have
the pleasure of riding on electric cars on
9th street before next week.
Among those who were passengers on
the initial trip we're President Phillips,
Chief Engineer Cornett, who acted as
motornlan on the forward car; Mr.. Nathan
lei Wilson, Mr.. Robert H. Weaver and
about sixty Others. Along the route there
were a number of the curious, and quite a
crowd gs thered at New York avenue and
sth street and greeted the first car by
burning blue and led Bengal lights.
The successful operation of the 9th street
Is thn
pushing the work of continuing the under
ground electric system over its entire road,
ana work upon that portion of it running
from 9th and F streets northwest to Lin
coin Park and around that reservation to
10TH street east will be commenced shortly
and finished before next spring. The draw
irgs for this portion of the road have all
been made and submitted to and approved
by the District Commissioners. 1t Is now
expected that within fourteen months the
entire line including important extensions,
Will be fitted with equipment similar to
mat which has proven so successful on

the time limited herein"
A copy of this order has been trans
mitted to the superintendent of police with
request that he notify the Commissioners
OF personal service of the paper upon
the officers of the road.
