INTERIOR OF ELECTRIC CAR.
brick and stone, the tunnels Of iron,
lined inside with concrete. One tunnel
carries the traffic to the bank, another,
quite distinct in every way, bears the
return journey. At a point just out
side Waterloo these tunnels converge
in such way that one is carried right
on top of the other. The grades are
arranged so as to bring the force Of
gravity into use, and thus aid the mo-
tor power Of the trains. A new feature
of this electric railway is that the lines
are laid at the standard gauge-four
feet eight and one-half inches-thus al
lowing rolling stock of the largest and
most comfortable size being used. Each
train consists of from four TO seven
carriages similar to those which
are shown in the illustrations.
The leading carriage and the, end one
will both be motors in themselves,
thus doing away with any necessity
for a special electric locomotive. The
seats inside the carriages are arranged
as in the Pullman carriages, and it may
be mentioned that there is on! one
class of passenger and only on. fare
for the journey.
There are some very interesting en-
gineering points in the construction OF
the station at the Waterloo end. Sew
cral arches which upheld the old sta
ton for years past have been under
pinned and keyed into one arch after
much hard work. A very large hy-
draulic lift serves to- lower the rolling
stock and supplies from the higher
levels to the depths below.

MysteriOus shipmcnt of Money.

NORFOLK. VA. March 15.-(special)-
\ mysterious shipment Of treasure was
made from this city by the government
this evening. Eight sturdy soldiers from
Fort Monroe, armed with rif and ball
cartridges. arrived here. and. lorching
straight to the Office of the United States
Express Company they shortly afterwards
returned bearing several large chests of
coin. which was placed aboard the Wash
ington steamer. Inquiry at the trans
portation Offices as to the destination Of
the treasure was met with the declaration
that It was being kept secret. The rea-
son advanced by a man who is in position
TO know is that the money was for the
payment of pensions, etc, at the Soldiers
Home. and that the precautions Were
taken because Of wild report that high
waymen had information Of the date Of
shipment, and would try to nab the
money.

sion few years ago TO protest against
mail service on the --- road. On exam
nation of lettings" l found the fault 10
lie at the door of the railroad. and that
the Post-Ohce Department was helpless
under the careless contracts drawn. 1t
permitted zone service a day TO begin
at the end, which permitted certain ship
pers TO destroy every contract the depart
ment had made for star route service.
Look at the lettings found in every post
office and see if the road is practicing
this game in your section.
Yours most sincerely. - --.
1t has never been our purpose to init
mate that the Post-Ohice Department is
responsible for the late outgoing mail
trains from this city. So far from it, we
have charged the offence against the rail
road officials who make up the schedules
or timetables.
But the department is blameable for not
seeing that the railroads make better
connections: also, that the railroads have
the facilities for carrying out the con-
tracts they enter into with the govern
mont.
At certain seasons when the travel is
heavy in certain directions. mail trains
are late day after day, and the department
takes no notice of the fact! 1t cannot be
that the department IS uniformed as TO
these delays, because they have postal
agents on the trains, and it is made the
duty of the agents TO report such matters.
As to the particular species Of com
paint stated by our friend, we know
