DRASTIC P. s. ORDERS.
They 4rc Expected To-day, Folloso-
ing Report on n. \. {. Rdilzcay.

Following the presentation of the report of A
l. NcLimont. electrical engineer, who has been
investigating the equipment and service Of the
New York City Railway Company. the Puohc Ser
vice Commission in all probability will issue to-
cav orders directing the receivers for that COM
pany 10 make vast Improvements This report. IT
IS expected, viii show grievous faults IN equip
nent and service OF low order
For two months Mr. McLimont. in charge Of a
force OF about ten of the commissions most in
teIIigent inspectors. has been conducting thor
aush investigation the equipment and service
Of the street railroad lines He and his men have
examined cars, car barns, power houses and tracks
They have gone over the rolling stock minuteiy
noting generally a multiplicity OF fat wheels. I'M
clean cars. and many minor defects in car equip
raent. They have inquired generally into the quail
fcations Of the conductors and motormen, their
hours Of labor, pay and general conditions of SER
vice.
The specific findings which the report of the
engineer will narrate are being guarded with care
though TO warrant the assertion that the orders
issued 10 the receivers for the traction company
based on Mr. McLimont's summary of conditions
viii deal drasticaly with the situation More cars
will be demanded, it seems likely; repairs of con-
siderable magnitude ordered for the ''cripples
which are now forced TO do duty The management
without much doubt will be called to task because
Of the many defects in equipment the looseness
OF management which does not guard better
against delays and Irregularities in car service
The nature Of the report of the engineer will
not be made public by the commission even when
the orders are issued. These orders probably will
orovide for hearings within few days. and the
commission desires 10 reserve the ammunition fur
rished by the report for those hearings. IL is al
together probable that this report, too, will play
an important part in the subsequent investigation
into the general financial condition of the Inter
borough Metropolitan lines, when that inquiry is
resumed some time after Christmas The cost of
and " for elertrifcafion
Of surface lines are subjects from which interest

USE RELIABLE REMEDIES.

Sick people do not like to be triAed
with or to spend their money for in.
ert, cheap medicines which are made
to sell rather than to cure. Many
food the market. On the contrary,
the medicines advertised by the Hes
sg-Ellis Drug Co., Of Memphis, Tenn,
are conscientiously compounded from
the tried prescription Of an eminent
physician and are made to cure. We
refer to DR.. Motifs Delta Chill Cure
and DR.. Motifs MelOn-Seed Kidney
and Bladder Remedy. If you need a
remedy of this kind why not buy
these. 1t is safer and wiser to do so
rather than try some nOstrum made at
distance by some one Of whom you
know nothing.
These standard remedies are we'll
endorsed by thousands Of people in
the Southern and Western states.
