Yesterday witnessed a complete
change in the running of the street cars
here, which, when in perfect operation,
viii greatly facilitate travel. Two
more cars have been added making nine
in all. On the pike line are two cars,
both run directly to Wheeling and
around the Fourteenth street loop.
The Bellaire cars run direct to Wheel
ing and return. On the Martins Ferry
end some inconvenience is being ex-
perienced at present owing to the old
rails on Lincoln Avenue being replaced
by new. Passengers to Martins Ferry
have to ride from here to the Island
end of the Wheeling bridge, then TO
Martins Ferry. Persons coming from
that town, here, have to take the same
route, 1t is thought the work of put
ting in the new rails will be completed
