Automobile Hack Service.

Washington is the first city in this
country, If not in the world, it is be-
lieved, to have an automobile hack
service at railroad station. The Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad has just in
stalled such a service in Connection
with its trains, the carriages being of
the latest and most nolseless pattern,
with handsomely upholstered cushions
and electric lamps and timepieces.
This is another illustration of the
tendency here to do awy with the di
lapidated and unpleasant hacks at the
stations, yet this modern and attrac-
tive service, which will reach out over
the whole city, is provided at rates
just as low as hack service of equal
character. By arrangement with the
conductors Of the trains entering
Washington the patrons of the inc
may have automobile hacks awaiting
them on their arrival-New York
Times.

dent of the City Council were then
called for. Mr.. Strain presented the
name of Mr.. Marsch, of the First
Ward, and Mr.. Coffman the name of
DR.. Curtis, of the Third Ward

ballot be taken, but his suggestion was
disregarded, and the Clerk called the
roll The result was as follows:
For Marsch-Eveleigh, Lorenz,
Marsch, Storck, Strains.
For Curtis-Coffman Curtis, Cutter,
Gossett, Kerns, Plumer, Toler-7.
DR.. Curtis was declared duly elected.
For President pro tenn the name OF
Gossett, of the Sixth Ward, was pre-
sented by Mr.. Cutter. There being no
other nominations, Mr.. Gossett was
chosen for the Office by unanimous
vote.
Mayor Richardson then called Pres
ident Curtis to the chair, introduced
him to Council and retired. DR.. Cur
tis in very appropriate speech ac-
,epted the honor which had been con-
ferred upon him and announced that
ne would take advantage of the priv
ilege allowed him and would not an
ncunce his committees until next
Tuesday evening
The bond of Mayor-elect w. f..
Sykes was then approved
Building permits we're granted to
Mr.. Preston. Lord street, and Augusl
