JENKINS SYSTEM SUCCESS.

Car Now Operating Daily and is
Popular.
The Jenkins system is being tested
ait the old baseball park, at Main
and Vine Streets, and is attracting much
attention.
The car operated from the underground
feeder travels up and down she trial
track-a distance Of nearly three blocks
continuously throughout the day, and
many citizens are availing themselves OF
the invitation of the Virginia Conduit
Railway Company to ride upon it, and
observe the ease with which all the diff
culties inherent in such an undertaking
have been overcome.
One specially startling fact was ascer-
tanned after. the hard rain of Thursday
morning 1t has been considered that the
presence of water to any considerable
extent in an underground conduit would
DE al fatal and insuperahle obstacle to Its
successful operation, as it was thought
that The current would be dissipated.
but Thursday morning, while the conduit
along the trial-road was in many places
nearly full of water. there being no sew
age connection and no outlet for II.
and while many of the insuiators and a
considerable portion of the conducting
pipe were actually under water. the car
operated as successfully as when the
conduit was perfectly dry.
This is the first case on record where
insulation has been made SO perfect as
to defy the action. of! surrounding water.
