DON'T LIKE THE ORDER.
The employees OF the Perry and Hull
Street lines Of the Richmond Passenger
and Pow er Company are indignant over
what they deem harsh treatment. Some
! of the conductors have been standing in
Sue of the cars while going across the
Free Bridge, and an order has been post
ed to the effect that the practice must be
stopped, and one conductor. more un-
fortunate than the others. was caught
standing in the car and was given five
days on the extra list. The conductors
claim that they so out at each curve and
! hold to the trolley rope, and when on a
straight track. with no passengers to DC
on the watch for. they should be allowed
TO stand inside and keep comfortable.
There was some talk o. taking the matter
before the general manager and asking
him to intercede III their .,ehalf. Mr.. Z.
chester division, is a strict disciplinarian.
a POUND PARTY.
Mrs. NJ. p. Pulley, Of No 211 West
Fourt eenth Street. and Mrs. w. N. Coed
man. of Eighteenth and Everett Streets,
have commenced work in earnest for the
benefit of Mrs. Saunders. These two
ladies propose TO pound" her IN short
while. and want every one who feels dis
posed TO help the cause to leave pound
of something ct eI.her place. and the
amount will be turned over to Mrs. Saund-
ers in the near future. This plan has
worked very successfully in other cases,
and a good quantity of provisions may be
given the stricken widow in this instance.
STILL HOPEFUL.
The people have not yet given up all
hope of having an all-night car on Perry
ior Hull Street. The citizens look for
ward to the early day when they hope to
be in position TO get to and from Rich
mend after II O'Clock at night. The
company would doubtless put car on il
they thought it would pay them, and
may make an experiment soon. Mr.. VIII
bur, general superintendent, said he did
not think it would pay the company.
especially at this time of the Year, but
something might be done in the spring.
The people are waiting for it, and many
of them believe the car would pay beyond
Expenses.
MR.. HANCOCK HURT.
