NOW RUNNING SMOOTHLY
The One Electric Car now Making
Regular Trips and Doing a Good
Observation-Disclosures Car Ar
rives-Proposed Route to the
Fair Ground and Other Matters.

Everything is going along satisfac-
I trio road, with their one Car making
regular trips every hour, and taking
each day large number of passengers
to the Heights. No further trouble
has been encountered either with the
! track or the trucks, and all who have
ridden over the road since the accident
are confident that the chances of an
other are exceedingly remote. Each
days experience is of increased value
to the motormen. who are now thor
oughly capable of managing the cars.
The long expected combination car
has at last arrived over the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad, and will be unlOaded
and put in operation at an early date.
Work on the reconstruction of the
wrecked Car No. 10. is rapidly going
on at Bowers & Co.'S. lumber yard, and
next week will see it making regular
trips. This will complete the three
Car equipment originally provided for,
and the directors say that when they
have erected their car shed, several
new ones will be purchased, to be used
in cases requiring special trips.
A meeting of the board was held
several days ago and the question of
extending the line as far as the Fair
Grounds was considered. The Turn
pike Company demand, it is said,
81 200 for the right of way along their
road, which the directors consider too
great a sum to eXpend at this time, and
have in view another route to- the
grounds, which can be used as effect
lively, and at the same time being less
expensive. During fair time especi-
ally, this part of the road will be a
source of considerable revenue.
1t is thought that the line to Mid
dietown will be completed by the first
of next week. This part of the work
was much delayed by the unfortunate
accident several weeks ago, but large
force of hands are at work placing the
poles and stringiug the copper feed aud
trolley wires aud expect to finish
about Saturday. When the line is
completed to Mlddletown, the dream of
the incorporators will be realized and
the real business of the road begun.
The public should certainly patronize
the electric railroad and encourage
ana cooperate with one of the most
| up-to-date and useful enterprises Fred
| erick can boast of at present.
Hagerstown is full of the trolley
fever" aud has regular street car SER
vice. Three cars run regularly every
half hour to Williamsport, distance
of six miles, aud two cars do, so far, an
extensive business on Washington
street and Potomac avenue. The pres
ent equipment of cars in that town
consists of nine coaches and il is the
intention of the company to provide
several lore for extra work. The peo-
pile of Hagerstown are very enthusiast
tic over the success of the road and
give substantial proof of the fact.

ROBINSON'S CIRCUS.
Now Combined With Franklin
Brothers and the Best on the
Road, Exhibited Here on
Wednesday

The John Robinson and Franklin
Brothers Enormous Combined Circus,
gave an exhibition in Frederick last
Wednesday afternoon aud evening to
large and apprrciative audience, which,
attracted bY the previous reputation of
the company and the publicity given
the forthcoming show in the news
papers, came from far and near. COun-
try people came in town by the hun
dreds, and after the big street parade in
the morning, crowded to the circus
grounds on the outskirts of town, to
the left of the Baltimore Turnpike.
Here as usual a fine exhibition was
given to the delight of the multitude.
The regular performance began at 2
o'clock in the afternoon. Two enOr-
nous canvas tents seemed to cover the
entire enclosure, but in the rear were
others OF smaller proportions for dress
ing rooms, horse stables, eating apart
ments, etc. The seating capacity of the
great tent was $1,000, which was well
taken up 10y a jam of humanity, that
only county fair, firemen's parade
and circus Can bring together. To de-
scribe each particular event in the really
excellent and exciting performance
would be to encroach upon page of
space and We will be content with saying
that it was the best circus that has Wis
lied Frederick in a long time, and with
popular prices, was entitled to the pa
tronage Of the people. 1t is said that
crowds were turned away from the gates
at Washington on account of the seat
Ing capacity being exhausted.

Central National Bank.

The Mercantile and Financial Times
of New York and Chicago, in speaking
of the above institution, says:
The Central National Bank of Fred
erick, Nd, was the first organized Tin
1SO8) and is the Oldest in existence in
the city. Its capital is 5000, 900. Chas.
w. Ross is president; Henry Williams,
cashier; and William l.. Miller assist
ant cashier The directors are: Chas.
w. Ross, Judge John A. Lynch, Dr.
Fairfax Schley, Arthur Potts, William
Downey, William J. Woman, William
H. Lakin, H. l.. Routzahn, William
S. Miller and Charles Wertheimer.
These are men of sterling character
and are closely associated with the
business progress of the city and local
ity in various ways. The especial
method of this bank is to receive de-
posits for which it does not pay inter-
est, the business principle involved be-
ing the compensating security afforded
the depositor. 1t is one of numbers in
the country that practice this system,
and is also among the most successful
banking houses of the country.
