There Seems tn he No Limit to the
Uses of The Electric Cur.
From the Electrical Wcrld.
The utilization of electric cars for spe-
cial purposes other than the mere trans
portation of passengers presents one of the
most Interesting features connected with
the operation Of electric railways The
availability of these cars for picnic and
theater parties was soon discerned, and to
meet the popular, demand for such facilities
specially built cars were provided by many
railway compan nies. The theater cars oil
car construction, and many gay and festive
private parties avail themselves of these
select means of enjoyment. 1t is not long
since that We gave an account of a trolley
card party on cne Of the prominent Brook
lyn lines The special uses of trolley cars
are. however, not confined to the pursuit
Of pleasur alone. Thus we find in some
cities trolley funeral cars, built expressly
for mournful service, and appropria .ely
of specially built cars are the carrying OF
mail matter and express packages. and ye:
the list is rot complete. The latest idea In
this direction ccnes from the BROOKLYN
grand jury, recomm ending trolley prison
vans TO carry prisoners from the cour:s TO
the Jail and renitentiary. A glimpse into
thessf future reveals the trolley restaur2 nj
