Tor Of Mr.. Frank 4. Bliley, Of No. 3VI east
CLAW street. JOhnsOn's head was all BAN
daged up, and showed the effects OF the
severe punishment given him before ne

racter: also, that the prisoner mas been

Not n Car Running on Any of the
Liucs-Mny lie Opened To-Day.


Richmond was entirely without street
car service yesterday. the first time such
has been the case since the street-car
service was i~naugurated here.
Not a car on any Of the lines in and
about the city was running. n none Of
them attempted 10 leave their sheds after

None Of the branch lines Of either the
Richmond Railway and Electric Com
pany or the Traction Company attempt
ed to operate their cars Sunday, but on
the main lines of the two companies the
cars struggled through the snow until
about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, when
the drifts became too deep for the snow
plow to operate, and then 1t was that the
lines were abandoned, and the ieecy
fakes gradually but quickly covered the
tracks and the road-bed from sight.
The Traction Company, after much diff
Guilty, got all OF its cars under shelter De-
fore giving up the fight, but the Nam
Street Line had two of It's cars caught
downtown. and IL was only after the
greatest effort that they were gotten TO
the sheds. 4 force Of motormen ana con-

To the depositor they pay between one
and two per cent, but the money they
lend brings them In three. i've. SIX.

For instance. they give loans on all

they have heavy and ruinous losses on
these loans.
All banks. however. have large sums
OF money constantly lying idle. for they
must keep sufficient cash nt the various
branches TO pay checks. and even to be
more or less prepared for panics. Still.
the difference between the one or two
