NEW TROLLEY CARS
IN Service TOMORROW
Company viii Use First
Two on the Delaware
Avenue Line
PAY AS YOU ENTER
WILL BE THE RULE

The Wilmington and Philadelphia
Traction Company has changed its
previous intention Of not placing any
Of the new cars in service until a
'air number were received. and as
result the first two will be put in
service tomorrow
They will be routed over the Del
aware Avenue lines as it tiaverses
the city from one depot 10 the other
and pass the car bar which will iacil-
tate noting the service.
Two more cars were delivered in
Wilmington last night and as rap
Idly as they are received and tuned
up" the new cars will be put i'm oper-
ltion
The advent of these cars will bring
to the Wilmington trolley riders the
latest method OF operation. namely,
The prepayment plans. as previously
announced: this has become the
vogue in most of the cities where new
Ear equipment has been purchased.
II is confidently expected that this
system will materially improve con-
ditions concerning possible accidents
caused by cars being started while
passengers are in the act Of alighting
from or boarding cars. The prac-
tice OF passengers entering by the
rear platform and leaving by the
front will materially assist in saving
time Of stops as well as removing the
iostling and crowding Of passengers
due to persons within the car working
toward both ends as we'll as the
crowdipg caused by the conductor
being obliged TO work his way
through the car to collect fares. This
will be avoided as all fares will be
paid at the time passengers enter.
The entrance portion Of the rear
platform will be occupied only by
passengers while entering the car and
paying fares. AS soon as fares have
been paid. and. if desired by passen-
gers. transfers secured. passengers
will proceed to the interior part of
the car. and. as the exit will be by
the front platform. Except when
necessary 10 leave by tic rear)' IN
order to save time. passengers will
naturally. when acquainted with the
plan. move toward the front part OF
the car.
As the platforms arc not separated
from the remainder OF the car. smok-
ing will not be permitted.
The traction company requests the
consideration and cooperation Of It's
patrons in assisting to make the cper-
alton OF the new cars thoroughly sat
isfactory TO tho public They can ma
terially assist by standing about forty
feet back Of the corner while waiting
for a car so as to be opposite the rear
platform or entrance promptly upon
The car arriving at this point. which
is the regular stopping place: as well
as by having their fare ready and by
requesting transfers. if they are de-
sired. at the same time when fare is
paid and by observing the time TO be
saved by being ready to leave the car
)y the front platform.
The conductor will be obliged ia
retain his position at the rear OF the
Ear to operate the safety doors.

The plaintiff interested ]. T. Deal.
or Norfolk. who visited the tract and
found that there was not the amount
OF timber represented to him by the
plaintiff. who had his information from
the defendants solely. He had agreed
to pay $Ss0,000 for the proposition,
leaving, therefore, the plaintifY $40

represented. to be. However when he
represented TO he, he was finally in
duced TO pay 100000 for the prop
erty. the sale being effected after tho

Service.

New York, Sept. S.-The second
day of the strike of unionized EN-.
ployes of New York's subway and ele
waited lines brought little interference
to service, but developed a conte: I.
which, it was said, may decide wheth
er the city's carmen will be permitted
to organize.
Theodore Shonts, president of the
1nterborough Rapid Transit company
and the New York Railways company,
struck at the union by Offering to take
back all striking New York Railways
company employees, (surface car mot
ormen and conductors) who quit the
union by tomorrow. Strike breakers,
he declared, would be put in the
places of all employees who do not ac-
cept his offer.
Union leaders threatened tonight to
extend the strike to the Third Avenue
line, the Second Avenue line and the
Union Railways company, unless the
heads of these lines pledge themselves
not to circulate individual contracts
among their men similar to those
binding the workers not to ask for
wage increases for two years, which
brought on the 1nterborough strike
and the sympathetic New York Rail
ways strike. The Third Avenue line,
it was said, refused the demand.
