TO TEST sEssEMER LINE.
Electric Cars VIII Be Run Today--The
Dummy Quits Soon.

A few electric cars will run over the
BirminghamBesse line today to make
test of the strength of the current along
different parts of the route. 1t is thought
that 1t will only be a few days now I'M
til regular schedule can be established
over the new line and the last of the
dummies can be done away with. The
only thing to prevent doing so at pres
ent is the lack of feed wires, which makes
the current hardly strong enough at GER
tain parts to enable the company to
maintain a regular schedule.
