1T isn't a question of priee-we want
the best" was the answer President
Anton Reymann, of the Wheeling g.
Elm Grove Railroad Company, gave in
response to the talk he had Just
heard from the enterprlslng represen-
tatlye of an electric supply firm the
other day. Mr.. Reymann's remark ap-
plies 10 every feature OF the construe-
ton of the Elm Groves city electric

An lntelligencer reporter, IN lhe

Henry Welsgerber, of the Elm Grove,
asked regarding the rolling stock Tor
the electric line, for which the company
is now dickefing with a companies
and the superintendent replied that the
cars have not yet been contracted Tor
but their design and style of construc-
tion are already determined upon. The
cars are to be forty-two feet In length,
and nave double trucks. The windows
Will be very large, with plate glass, and
the car bodies will be wider than those
on the Wheellng's electric line. There
viii be a recently invented attachment
by which additional power will be used
in ascending grades, This Is used on
account of the size OF the cars and the
large passenger capacity.
The company has determined to place
the city line In operation as soon as II
has been completed, and before the
country division has been changed from
to electricity. 1t Is possible the
city division will be operated before the
New Year arrives.

WHAT WILL B. 4 Q. DO?

Whether the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road decides to remain in the interS
changeable mileage bureau Of the Cen.
tral Passenger Association is stlll an I'M
settled question and depends entirely
upon what action the managers of the
Joint Traffic Association take on the In
terterrltorial use of that ticket.
Two recommendations have been
made to the managers by the Joint pas
senger committee, and neither OF them
was unanimous.
one recommendation was to prohibit
the use Internationally of the ticket en-
tlrely and the other was to permit It's use
in restricted form. Should the man
ayers decide that the interchangeable
mileage cannot be used as above It ViF-
tually means the disruption of the mile
age bureau.

Never in the history OF the Baltimore
& Ohio road was there stich great prog
ress made as the present receivers have
made in the past six months. says the
Pittsburgh Post. The main line and
Pittsburgh and Wheeling divisions have
been revolutlonlzed, and to-day the trav-
eler over the great system on any one OF
it's divisions finds a service which Is as.
good as n road In the universe can
show. Yesterday a travelling man who
has been on the road for over ten years,
while ut the Hotel Henry, remarked that
IL he was to Judge by what he has OBJ
served on the Baltimore & Ohio system It
would be wise for all the big roads to get
into the charge OF receivers as soon as
possible.

Mad hundreds of callers within the last week or so,

never dreamed that such a showing could be made. Ten

candid to tell us were as good as their tailor could,
make them for $4,000 and $4,000. They owned up
that they hadn't seen the like in any other store in town
for less than $500, and they are not to be found. The
more critical you are the stronger their light OF su-
