The cars started to run at one o'clock
yesterday, but no regular schedule
time is in force and will not be until
the traffic becomes steady. From now
on trolley parties will be all the go and
hn H. Il
weeks ahead. Last night jolly par
ty of young people went to Braddock
Heights and danced until late hour.

Electricity was nrSt applied as mo-
tive wOwer to railway cars as early as
1912 in Scotland, but year after year
steady improvements have been made,
so that now electricity is employed in
every country for street and suburban
railways. 1t is claimed to be the cheap
est motive power as we'll as the most
practical for the purpose.
1t may be interesting to those whose
years are on the bright side of half
century and who may not be well
versed in the events of the long ago in
Fredericktown, to learn that street
railroad once had right of way on Mar
ket street. 1t was when the b. & o.
first opened its lines to Frederick. The
cars were drawn by horses until the
steam locomotive. Quite number of
people remember this well, and the
sight of the trolley cars passing through
our streets recalls the old time with
vivid distinctness.
Workmen were unloading car of
rails yesterday, which will be used to
complete the road to Middletown.
Only about one quarter of IA mile re-
mains to be tracked. The trolley wire
Is being strung and the contractors say
that in three weeks the cars Will be
running to MiddletOwn. Every day
frequent trips will be made to Brad
dock Heights and intermediate stop
Plug places for the accommodation of
passengers.
