New Castle. Oct. 4--Conductors On cais
running from this city to Wilmington are
now required TO change registers at points
of meeting with cars running from Will
mington to New Castle. the order taking
effect yesterday afternoon.
When the new arrangement between the
New Castle Company and the Whining
ton city Hallway Company went into
effect yesterday morning the conductors
of each car were required to make out
cards, sign their names to them and eX-
change them at points of meeting. AS this
delayed travel it was suggested that in
stead OF exchanging cards registers
should be transferred from one car to
another by which each line could keep its
own account.
Under the present arrangement when
a car from New Castle meets a car from
Wilmington the register is taken of the
| ingoing car and exchanged for the one
on the outgoing trolley and vice-versa.
| BY this method each line is enabled to
keep an accurate account of the number
( OF passengers it carries.
! Considerable amusement was caused by
the changing Of registers on the $40 car
out OF Wilmington last evening. This car
usually carries the men who live in New
Castle and work in Wilmington When the
Wilmington city conductor unlocked the
register and carried it OF the car several
of the men called out: stop thief. there
goes a man with the register, he'll take
the car next"
