den & Amboy railroad. The rails were at
first laid upon stone blocks, having their
ends secured to each other by iron tongues
rlveted through, the stem of the RAN. Sub
sequently, the weight Of the rails was in
creased to forty-two pounds per yard, and
they were laid on wooden cross-tles and
connected with fish-plates and fastened
to the ties with hook-headed spikes. Mr..
Stevens was the inventor OF both the fish
plates and the spikes.
Further development in railroad construc-
ton consisted simply in improving on the
general ideas in use at this date and in
substituting steel for iron~a wood wher-
ever practicable.
The name, "Tramway," is used at the
present day in referring 10 metropolitan
street railways devoted to a passenger
carrying business.
The first street-railway in the United
States was put in operation in 1882 in New
York City. 1t ran up Fourth avenue from
Prince street to Harlem, and was, Of
course operated a horse car pne. The
next line was built in Boston in 1886, but
II was not until 1852 that street railways
came into general use.
Then came the cable line. The first prac-
teal adaptation OF this idea was made in
San Francisco by Mr.. Hallidie, who. in
1872, opened the Clay street cable line The
system was adopted in Chicago about ten
years later. and about the same time was
applied TO the working Of the Brooklyn
bridge traffic in New York
The electric line succeeded the cable line
The first electric street railway is said to
have been successfully experimental with
al Springfield, Mass, in the early SOS. but
the records are not clear on this point,
and accepted authorities state that the
first electric line in the United States was
operated between Richmond, Va, and a
point twelve miles distant, In lSSS

Tabloid History of the Presidents
April 10, 1911.
Name and Address.

George Washington at the conclusion of
his second term as president attended the
Inauguration of his successor, John Adams
on March 4, 1897. and then retired to Vir-
ginia. John Adams, who as second presi-
dent of the United States thus ushered in
the third presidential administration, had
served as vice president during both OF
Washington's terms. .....'.
Adams secured the federal candidacy
over Hamilton largely because he COM
manded the indispensable New England
vote.
The result of the election showed n
votes for John Adams, 6S for Jefferson, 80
for Pinckney, 20 for Burr, Is for Samuel
Adams and the rest scattering. Adams had
only three more electoral votes than JEFF
ferson, who thus secured the second place
as vice president This meant a federal
president with republican vice president.
John Adams served through a stormy
time. England and France were fighting
each other and lost no chance to insult
the new and feeble United States. France
claimed that our treaty with 1t obligated
us to support it and aid in the defense Of
the French West Indies. Washington had
insisted on strict neutrality and Adams fol-
lowed him.
The French government permitted depre-
dations to be committed on American COM
merce and ordered our minister, Mr.. Pincit
ney, to leave France. President Arams
Immediately convened congress to consider
to France. but they were not received,
