The opening of the electric atreet rail war, en Weaaeedajr afternoon, created auU aa excitement en Eaat King atreet. The crowd attracted te the vicinity of the court henaewaa larger than that gathered areand thle corner en the day of the circus, and that mean an assemblage or several hundred. By many It waa auppeaedthat the atart would be made at Cen tie Square, and all afternoon the equate was thronged. When the electrla car waa aeen at ths cor ner of Duke and East King atreeta there waa a grand ruth, and aoen the atreet waa nuea rwun people, an anxious te aee tne : first electrle ear in the city start en its ex perimental trip. U The car was brought from the street car table,wlth four herseshltehed te it, a few mlnntas before five o'eloek. It did net take long te make the neeessary attach ment and at four minutes after Ave the ear moved with the large crowd cheering the passenger. Frem the Leepard hotel, the starting point, te tha Jail, where the car stepped, the trip was msde in four and a half minutes. The return trip would hare been made In less time but for an ac cident. Lime street en the way back was reached in three minute, and there the car waa brought te a step by the less of a "brush." It required several minutes be fore the lest "brush" could be found. It waa finally secured and the car moved te the middle of the first square in East King street. It was at ence started en a second trip and this time It was. net run se rapidly, it requiring six minutes te reach the lull entrance. When the car was stepped at this point something waa discovered te be out of gear with the machinery beneath the bottom of the car, and it required some ''time te repair It. The master mechanic was obliged te crawl under the car te make the necessary repairs. Crowds lined East Klug street from the squnre te near the jail. All appeared te be interested in the movement of the car, and gave the occupants an ovation. The ma chlnery belng new, the car did net run as smoothly an it will In a day or two. The noise made was net great, but scared several horses en the street. Fortunately there were no runaawaya, There will be but little mere noise than with the ordi nary car when the machinery Is properly adjusted. The car run was Ne. 12, msule at the Lo Le Lo mekin car works, Chester, Pa. It was in charge of Fred Pearson, of Jersey City, an attache of the Daft Electrio company, as sisted by Antone Westerdel, of the same electric company, who make all test . 1 he brakes wero managed by Frank ilullck. Philip Schaum and Oalen'Sides, who will have charge of the car regularly, were also en it te liarn hew in properly ran the car. The following Is a complete list of these en the car in addition te the above named : Jehn A, Ceyle. Jacob B. Leng, Jehn II. Banmgarduer, II. M. Lively and son, M. F. Callahan, solicitor et the, Edisen Elec tric Light company, Dr. Thes. Ellmaker, J. M.,W. GelHt, C. Q. Strlckler, Herbert John Jehn son, S. M. Sener, Harry L. Snyder, J. K. Shoemaker and wm. Berger, ofthe Edisen Light company ; Walter Kieifer, Thes. F. .McElllgett, Jacob F. Scbeaffer, Lem C. Witmer, at present superintendent of street railway ; Frank Hewitt in charge of the line work ; Wm. King, of the construction corps; E. Wilkinson, formerly of West Point, Va., the new superintendent of the company. The car is handsomely finished and - weighs ever four tens. On it, under the trfofieor, is a 30 horse power meter, run by a The i horse power dynamo of 440 volts. - - Everything In the electric system is of the Daft system the very best known for elec- t trie street carp. Tha cars are illuminated wilh electrle light. In all the company has ordered ten cars. , These.will be run by five fifty-borse power dynamos which will be located at the car stables en North Prince street, when the read Is in thorough working enler. At pre ;nt power win be furnished by the Edisen Electrie Light company. The power uch as furnished en the experimental trip is capable of running the cars at the rate of twenty miles an heur: but none of the cars will, at any time he run at that high speed in the city limits, an ordinance preventing a greater speed than seven miles an hour. The car ran much smoother than was ex pected for the first trip, ani the managers are pleased with the manner in which the contractors have done their work. It was net a trial trip, but an experimental one. The East King street line will be formally opened in a day or two, when the first regular trip will be made, and the guests of the company en that occasion will be the mayor, members of council and repre aentativbs of tbepress. When ready for that trip everything will be nicely adjusted and the round trip will be made the entire length of the read without interruption. The officers of the electric car company are I President, Jehn A. Ceyle ; vice pres ident. Dr. M. L. Herr: treasurer. Jehn H. Baumgardner; secretary, Edward Ackley, of New Yerk; directors, in addition te above, Knight Noflel, Jacob B.Leng and Walter M. Franklin. Sum nor T. Dunham, of New Yerk, is largely Interested in the electric railway. The question as te whether the electric railway can be made te pay is a question that wai." frequently discussed en Wednes day. A gtMitleman pested en the cost of running the feed said the expense, count ing interest en the cost of the plant, the sauries of the empleyes and cost of electricity, would be uet less than from 75 te 180 a day. Te make It pay 2,000 pas sengers a dsy must be carried. Under the present horse car system about 1,000 people ride each day. The management expect this number te be largely added te as seen aa the electrle railway is In complete rnnning order. Pars will be run at inter vals of net mere than ten minutes, and when the peopleof the town knew that they nor. iret IVnni Aim nil ft of tllO CltV tO the ether quickly, the managers of the electrle system believe that they will avail them them aelveaef the benefits of rapid transit If encouraged the company will extend the system te these parts of the city for which councils have already given the ue or the city streets.

The Pre in Its report of the same says: "The at- tendance waa 500, and the crowd, for a wonder, waa In aympathy with the Lan caster aggregation.." Schmltt, the Pittsburg League pitcher, is considered a genlaa. He ha the weak points of a batsman written en a piece of paper, and when they come op he read it slyly. " Who's this man T " ha kept ask ing Umpire McQuade at Cincinnati last Friday as a batsman walteed up. The Actives remain in Alteena te-day te play a game that would have taken place bore later In the year. Manager Zecher, of Alteena, says that the Lancaster club in the games at Alteena played belter ball than Lebanon or Easten. Gill is playing a splendid game at short for Lancaster, and Is also bitting the ball. The Eagan in the Lancaster club played in Shamokin and Shenandoah last sum mer. It was Tem Goedhart and net Catcher Ooedhart who did the fine bitting for the Lancaster In Tuesday' game. Lancaster people should net allow the Active club te go te the Wall new. They are playing geed ball eren if they are away behind, and If Manager Ooedhart had the leastanceuragement he enuld make the 'team much stronger by the addition of several players that be can get. Blgby is doing well for Lancaster and Is catching all the games. At Penryn yesterday the Hsrrisbnrg club left the grounds lu the sixth inning because they objected te a decision of Umpire Dean. The truth was that Lebanon was te much for them, and they pounded Melklelehn and Stecher, all ever the grounds. Harrisburg started out well by making four runs, but then Lebanon get in and kept up the stick work te the close, making eleven runs while their opponents did net score again in the game. The only way te keep the Actives np is for some one te put in money. The peeple will patronize a team that can win a few games. Manager Ooedhart deserves credit ler keeping his team together as welt as 'he has in the race of se many difficulties. Lancaster plays In Harrisburg te-morrow and Saturday. The Alteena Time says: "We admire the pluck of Manager Ooedhart, of the Lancaster club. He proposes te net only stay In the league, but Ce strengthen bis team. He is well off In batteries, and with some changes in ether player will have a geed club. The press reports concerning the club's playing previous te its visit here were either erroneous or based en preju dice. The two games played here make it mere and mere of a mystery why the Lan castrians stand at the feet. We wish Man ager Ooedhart success." "" The Alteena papers seem pleased with the Lancaster club, and the Ttmes of this morning also speaks a geed word for them as follews: " The Lancaster are composed of some very geed material, but are cer tainly playing in hard luck, aa was plainly evidenced in both games here. Notwith standing this fact their manager, Mr. Goedhart, intends te continue in the league, und ere the season ends expects te have them booked as one of the leading clubs." HE TftlED ItOLLEIt SKATES. An Oysterman Who Could! Fly en Ice, lint Net en Pavements. Geerge Speng, the well known restaurant keeper In Centre Square, waa standing in front of his place of business yesterday afternoon with a friend, and the chilly weather led their conversation te Ice and finally te skating. Geerge said that be was a dandy Ice skater when younger and be believed that he would be able te de Just as well with the roller skates, such as are used In rinks. His friend doubted this and they referred the matter te Geerge Gormley. It se hap pened that Germleybada let of skates en hand at bis fruit stand that lie has been trying te sell for a friend, and he said if Speng wanted te try a pair en he might de se. The oysterman took a pair ever te hi restaurant, and, with the assistance of his friend, seen had them buckled en. He tried te stand en the pavement, but then the trouble began. The skates must havei been oiled quite recently, for they would net stand still. A bystander gave Speng a slight push te see whether they would work. As seen aa he was touched Speng1 heels arose in the air te a f;reat height and he came down se hard bat be broke one of Sheriff Tomllnaen'a large paving stones. He recovered and, while lecturing the man who pushed him, he again went down. He turned ever en his hands and knee", but the rollers pre vented blsgettingupagaln. Quiteaurewd had collected by this time te see the exhibi tion and Geerge became het. He appealed te the bystanders te cut the straps or the skates, as he was tired of them. After much bard work they were gotten off. but te-day Geerge Is very sere and feels tired. He says that he never was much of a " dry land sailor," but he knew what he can de en ice. He has challenged Ed Hall, Jehn Reese and Armle Hartman for a race early next winter. A FATED FAMILY. Father, Six Sens, and a Grandsen All Die Violent Deaths.

Ex-Governer Curtln, of Pennsylvania, has been at the Heffman house, New Yerk, for a day or two. The old war governor leeks considerably better physically than he did at the clese of his last term in Congress. This, bowever, is confined te appearances, for when be attempts te walk the governor's legs no longer afford him that sturdy support of a few years past. He walks with considerable difficulty and when en bis feet shows the Inroads of old age. I asked the governor what be thought of the political situation In Pennsylvania. "It leeks te me," he replied, "as If Quay would succeed In forcing Delamater en bis party. " "AndlfbodeosT" " If he does he wilt be beaten, that's all," was the reply of the war governor. " That is, If the Democratic party, " he continued, " makes a wise nomlnstlen.

His action waa based en a report from Engineer In-Chief Melville te the effect that lu the recent trial of her machinery she developed an average of 3,838 indicated horse-pewor, or 038 ever tbe contract re quirement. Although these figure have net been verified by tbe testing of tbe indi cators used en beard during the trial, Commedore Melville said be bad no hesi tation in recommending the acceptance or the vessel. There is still retained 9130,000 or the contract money, or which about $00, 000 Is estimated te be due the government as penalties for non-completion within con tract. These penalties began te run erer a year age and ceased last October, by order of the secretary, at the time or the first trial of the vessel's armament.

Seme time age Mayer Clark wrote te tbe railroad companies asking them whether tbey could net give seme reduced rates in order te assist In getting seme of the many people away who come te this town In seme manner. Many of them are very deserving but that there is no fund here for that pur pose. This morning the mayor received a letter from A. A. McLeed, of the Philadel phia it Reading railroad, In which he states that there was no rule covering such cases and they did net see why they should make an exception for these people wishing transportation from Lancaster. He adds, however, "I will say that when circum stances are se extreme as te make the case an exceptional one, I shall be glad, upon request from you, te furnUb transportation free of charge."

Temmy's Beat Net se Leng aa Jim's, Bnt Ha Eajeya Patrolling 11 With tha Second Ward's Vigilant Oncer. Seme year age the Intklmekwckr had an account of a aeg that for yean followed Henry Ertsman. then a night watchman In the Fourth ward, about en hi beat. Every night the animal would meet him at the aame place, In Centre Square, and remaln with blin all night. In the morning he would go te his own home and would net be seen until evening. Anotber case, which is still mere re markable, was brought te the attention or a reporter of this paper last night. Fer many years James L. Messenkep has been a trusted watchman in the Second ward, a position that he took after leaving the po lice force. About six year age Mr. Messenkep noticed that as he walked along a part of his best he was followed by a Jet black cat He seen found that the animal bad formed an attachment for him, and from that time until the pres ent they have been fust friends. The cat usually meet the watchman lu the neigh borhood of Duke and East Klngstroetaand remains with him for a part of each trip. It will never accompany hlin up Duke street farther than Kshleman'a hall, nor out East Kimr farther than about Cbarlie Eck- ert's stere: npen reaching these places he suddenly disappears. The animal is of the best disposition and 1 anxious te secure tbe caresses of the watchman as long as he Is alone. If anyone approaches that Temmy is net acquainted with he will walk ulf a short distance and remain until the party steps talking te the watchman and move off. Mr. Messenkep does net knew who owns the cat and he nover sees him In day light. Many curious stories of black rats are told by snpeistltleus people, and while some think they are a cure omen of bad luck, ethers think they are a nover falling source of geed luck. Mr. Messenkep does net take any stock In these things, but he Is a great friend of the out, which baa nover changed his luck In the least. m III9 FOOT CUT OFF.

The Tariff Bill Unshed Through the Heuse en Wednesday. In the Heuse en Wednesday after the rejection or the amendment relating te woolen and worsted yarns an amendment providing fera duty en woolen and worsted geed three ttmes that en unwashed wool waa alto rejected. An amendment waa agreed te classifying as manufactures of wool all silk goods in which hair Is used. The vinegar amondment adopted In com mittee of the whole was agreed te. Mr. Carlisle offered tha following : Jlcjtetvrd, That the pending bill tie re committed te the committee en way and means, with Instructions te report tbe'aame liack te the Heme at tbe earliest possible day, se amended by substitutes or other wise as te reduce the, revenue of the government by reducing the burdonsef taxation en the people, Instead of reducing the duties by imposing prohibitory rates or taxation upon imported goods, (Demo cratic applause). The resolution was defeated yeas, 140 ; nays, 104. (Republican applause). The bill was then passed yea Kl, nays 142 amid applause en both sides of the Heuse, the Democratic applause belng de de rlslve In Its character. Twe Republicans, Mr. Colemnn, or Louisiana, and Mr. Foatherstone, or Arkansas, voted In the negative Mr. McMllliu (Tenu.) In closing the do de bate ler tbe Democrats said : Through much tribulation, and by meth ods mere speedy than rommendabte. we have reached the point where this bill Is te be snatched from the committee or the whele untlnished and forced through the llonse. Let us pause long oneugb te see what it Is. Its Trainers beast that they have Eut sugar en the froe Hat. Yes, they have ; tit they have with that overridden the conslltutien and outraged Just Ice by plac ing taxpayers under bondage for fifteen years te pay a bounty of bctwoen one and threo hundred millions or dollars te sugar producers. We are new within fifteen min utes of the time when the final vote Is te be taken upon this bill, and It Is proper that a staloment of what It contains should be given te the lloiue. We have been told that this Is a Repub lican measure te be passed by Republican vetes. New, the question Is, what Is an ideal Republican measure T Under the rule that bas been adopted there are 200 amend ments pending before the committee and printed In the Jtecertt that can never be considered. There are mere than 100 items proposed in this bill which makes In creases In tbe rates et duty, yet the com mittee en ways and means has told us that It has no data and can give none te Justify these increases. What tnorer They have ropealod the sugar tax only te put addi tional taxes en every ethor schedule The Increases net ostlmated in the oom eom oem mlttoo' calculations amount te f 23,773,000. This, added te what the committee confess they have Increased, makes the Incrcase en the different schedules outside of sugar fflfl, 010,000. Then they gl ve n bounty en sugar, amounting te 87,500.000, Tbe net Incrcase, therefore, by this bill te the people or the United States Is 173,049,483.81. Tills last docs net Include many increases as te which there Is no data. I ask whether thn Heuse or Representatives Is ready te take such a Republican moasnreT It is net only a Republican measure, but, as I stated last night, It Is te be passed by Republican methods. Yeu are willed uien te vote upon these Incroased duties without dobate and without hepe or amendments. Tbe committee has taken most or the two days, and net a slngle amendment has been adopted that has been offered by any one else. The gentleman from Ohie said the amomlments net noted en in committee or the whole would fall. Hence all opportu nity te amend or discuss this vicious meas ure is geno. We were depilved of this right by an iron-clad ruie made for the puriione. Mere than 100 of the 150 pages of the bill have bad no consideration, The right te reduce duties en tin-plate, woolen anil cotton goods, chemicals, sundries, etc., has been destroyed by special rule, and the jwepln's representatives stand power power less und their volce Is stilled.

The train, which was running at the rate or thlrty-flve miles nn hour, was slopped at Delphl and a hand car was sent back te find the passenger. Her dead body was seen dlscoveroj lying lu a peel or water nt the slde or the track. Around her neck was a piece or the repe that was attached te the platform. It bed sunk se deeply into me uesu as te nearly sever ine ueau, Her neck was broken, and her body tern and lacerated as If It bad been dragged some distance. The liedy was brought te Delphi, but nene or the passenger could give the name or the woman, She had a tlcket from Dulutb, Minn., te Cincinnati, and had said she was going te the latter city because she bad nowhere else te go. The s trail go suicide croated much talk aleug the railroad, and late in the afternoon the woman was identified from the description and clothing as Mrs. Ware, formerly Mrs. Streatly. or Hamil ton, Ohie. She hed been living for some tlmein Duluth, and two weeks age wrote her parents, living In Hamilton, that she was coming en a visit. Her trunk arrived in Cincinnati en Wednesday nlgbt, but contained nothing throwing light en the suicide. The family cannot account for the act, but de net think she was of un sound mind. Seme three years age she had domestic trouble resulting Id a dlvoreo from her husband. She was 37 years of age. The railroad officials have notified the family that they will bring the body te Hamllteu.

Jehnsen, or Lan caster county, Is net lively te have many parallels. About ttaaar -years before the war, acting en the grenf Greeley' advice, young Jehnsen get as far West as Illinois. His cousins. Frank Price and Kersey H. ell, had proceeded 1dm there from Chester county and were welt established. They put some legal matter In his hands that needed attention, and en April 30, 1857, he found hlmseirat Decatur, then enough or a railroad centre te be tbe Intersecting point or two Illinois reads. Connection were aulty here and Jehnsen found that he would have te lay evor a greater part of the day until the next train came along.

" Well, new." said the surprised young lawyer, " what's your name T" "Jphn W, Jehnsen," came the reply, "and what's yours T" "Jehn W.Johnsen." Se It was that these two young sjrangers, accidentally thrown togethor. found that their respectlvn weights, helghts, age and names were Identical. Beth were also Pennsylvanlans.
