THE LAW REQUIRES THEM
After November 10Th All Street Cars
in State Must be Vestibuled.
ALL COMPANIES [QUpPING TIER CARS
Maximum Penalty For Failure to do so is Fine
OF 500 Per Day: The Ves.ibule Fronts
Authorized by Legislature to
Protect Mo.ormen.

The street car systems in this State
will be forced to operate cars with YES
thule fronts after the fifteenth of No
ember-in accordance with the provisions
of an act of the last Legislature.
The Raleigh Street Car Company is
equipping all it's winter cars with yesti-
bule fronts in compliance with the new
law. Superintendent Andrews states that
all the cars will be vestibuled within the
required time.
The first of the vestibuled cars made it's
appearance on Fayetteville street yester-
day and attracted much attention. The
vestibule consists of a glass front eX-
tending the width of the car. The cars
are designed to protect motormen from
exposure to severe weather. They are
used extensively in the Northern cities.
The last Legislature authorized the
Corporation Commission to enforce this
law, giving it power to make exemptions
in such cases as it saw fit. The bill was
introduced by Senator Whitaker. of For
@yth, who was appealed to by motormen
and conductors to have such a law en-
forced. The Corporation Commission will
see that the law is enforced in every city
of the State, where street cars are opera
ted. The penalty for failure TO comply
with the requirements of the law is a
fine OF not less than ten dollars or more
than one hundred dollars a day.
The law requiring the use or vestibule
fronts provides that they shall have a
frontage Of not less than four feet The
vestibule cars must be operated on all
lines during the latter half of the month
of November and during the months of
December January, February and March,
| of each year. Cars without vestibule
fronts may be used in cases of temporary
emergency in suitable weather, nc to ex-
coed four days in any one month

FOR oUADRENNIAL SESSIONS.
Fight Transferred From Committee of Whole
to Convention Proper.
(By the Associated Press.)

Richmond, Va, Oct 1.-THE first in
teresting matter disposed of was the
calling off of the fight for quadrennial
sessions of the Legislature in committee
of the whole and transferring it to the
convention proper. BY agreement with
Mr. Moore, chairman of the legislative
committee. Mr.. Flood withdrew his mo-
tion to reconsider and gave notice that
he would make the fight for biennial SEES
sions on the floor of the convention when
the report comes up for consideration by
that body.
The report of the committee on coun-
ty government was taken up in COM
mittee of the whole. (Mr. Wise in the
chair)and the question required on the
substitute offered by Mr.. E. Withers
consolidating the offices of treasurer and
sheriff, except in counties of over 80 00O
inhabitants in which case the office of
treasurer may be created by law The
consideration Of the substitute precipi-
tated one of the most spirited debates
of the session. Many amendments were
offered exempting counties.
Mr.. Withers made a vigorous defence
of his substitute and the proposition was
opposed by Judge Hancock, Kendall
Campbell Of Amherst and Portlock, Mr.
Barnes, of New Kent, and others. Col
onel Petit also opposed the substitute
and it was ably advocated by Mr. Ayers
All of the amendments to the Withers
substitute were voted down, however
| and the substitute itself was lost by q
| vote of 20 to SO.
The committee at 1885 p. m. rose anC
| reported to the house and that body i'm
mediately adjourned until 10 o'clock to-
! morrow morning.

Cresceus Fails to Beat His Record.
(By the Associated Press

CBy the Associated PreSS.)
Columbus, Oct. 17.-Cresceus went
against time at the local driving park this
afternoon TO beat his own record of 202h
and failed. The best he could do was the
out to see the effort The record which
Cresceus holds was made on this track
The horse was in magnificent condition
and ready for a very fast mile, but the
wind was SO strong and the cold so Sc
we're that Mr.. Ketcham announced before
he started that he could scarcely hope to
beat 2:10. Cresceus was brought out at
1:20 o'clock and logged three times
around the track, then sent mile in
ESQ. He came out again half an hour
later and went mile in 2:23. At $50
o'clock he warmed UP for the last time,
stepping in 2:3414. 1t was 1925 when
Mr.. Ketcham mounted the sulky for the
last time. He was off on the fourth score
with Tim Mulrans runner alongside. The
first quarter pole was reached in 20%.
Down the hack stretch he sped in 30A,
reaching the half in 1:01, which meant
record time If he could keep it up. But
as he entered the turn the fierce wind
beat him in the face and it took him :331S
seconds TO reach the third quarter mile
pole. The last quarter was done in 81
seconds and the mile IN 2:051a Consid-
erng the frightful weather conditions, it
was one of the greatest miles ever COW
cred by the stallion.

lance off shore at Santiago Mr.. Hanna
asked:
while the vessels were on blockade
at Santiago from May % to the 31st.,
inclusive, were you able, during the
night to distinguish points in shore
readily While you were on watch?',
The witness replied in the negative
Gould you see the vessels on the in
ner picket line at night"
Not without the aid of searchlights"
SAW ONLY OREGON AND TEXAS.
In reply to question by Mr. Rayner
he stated that after the surrender of the
Colon, July Sd, he had gone to the fore
castle to look for other ships. He had
only seen the Oregon and the Texas.
The smoke OF other vessels was visible
but not the vessels themselves.
Lieut.. Commander Griffin gave de-
tails of the Cienfuegos campaign, say
ing that the distance of the blockading
line there varied from three to seven
miles being farther out at night.
Asked by Mr.. Rayner concerning a
conversation between Commodore
Schley and the commander of the Eagle,
the witness said: when the Eagle
came up dSteFn OIL the brooklyn the
Commodore hailed the commanding of
ficer of that vessel and told him in sub
stance that he could not delay the
squadron any longer on his account, and
| that he wanted him to proceed to ia
| maica for coal. The commanding officer
of the Eagle seemed very DESTROYS of re-
naming with the squadron
| At Santiago the witness said that the
! blockading line was a mile or two closer
in at night than during the day, and on
| May 20 the fleet stood out three or four
miles. There were picket boats inside
| the line but he did not see them.
Did you ever have any conversation
with Commodore Schley before July Sc
relative to the Brooklyn going to Guam
| tanamo for coal?'
I'm substance, / mentioned the fact
that other ships of the squadron were in
the habit of going to Guantanamo fol-
coal We had some difficulty in coaline
in the open off Santiago. The Commo-
dore replied that he had been asked or
| several occasions if he would like to &c
| to Guantanamo where he could GOA
] quickly and give the officers and men q
| rest from the strain of blockade. He
said that his answer was in each case
| that he preferred to remain on the sta
ton until the Spanish ships came OUT
of the harbor.''

MESSAGES TO MEN BELOW

Referring to the battle of July Sd, the
witness said that he had been in charge
OF the powder division and that it also
was his duty to look after the lower
deck. Consequently he had not seen a
great deal of the fight.
Were any cheering or encouraging
messages sent among the meen that you
know of, by whom and what were
they?"
Il had a messenger who made frequent
trips to the gun deck and who reported
TO me what was happening. / conveyed
this information to the men of my divis-
ion in the different handling rooms"
Were any Of these messages of suffi-
Gent Importance that you would like to
speak of them?"
lone message which seemed to cheer
the men below very much was that there
were three Spanish ships on our star
board beam all firing at US.
You don't know who sent these mes
sages, who gave them to you?"
Il took it for granted--.'
Judge Advocate Lemly here interrupted
the witness by stating that it did not ap-
pear that Commodore Schley sent these
messages, which brought statement
from Mr.. Rayner that he would prove
when Admiral Schley went on the stand
that the Admiral sent these messages of
encoura cement to the men.
SCHLEY PERFECTLY COOL.
Can you speak of the conduct, bearing
and manner of Commodore Schley, during
the engagement in which you saw him."
'He impressed me as being remarkably
hot had
He was perfectly natural in manner and
bearing"
Mr.. Hanna asked: did you hear
Commodore Schley say anything about
| coaling difficulties
Il do not remember. / know he was
always extremely anxious and seemed
to coal whenever there was an opportun-
ity. The conversation about going to
Guantanamo impressed me particular
ly because afterward [ thought it was
such a wise decision"
Mr.. Hanna asked the witness whether
the Flying Squadron had proceeded
with dispatch" on the voyage from
