New York-Chicago Trolley Line.
Chicago, Sept. 2.—Continuous trolley rides from Chicago to New York over two routes, and between Chicago and Cincinnati, are among the transportation probabilities now planned. William S. Reed, a builder of railroads, who has an office in the First National Bank, has organized a syndicate which has purchased the Chicago Electric Traction Company and has organized two other companies which will complete the gaps which now bar a continuous ride on electric roads between the cities named.
Mr. Reed claims that these somewhat remarkable transportation feats will be completed by next June and that the traveler may go from Chicago to New York by way of Buffalo and then through New York state, or may branch off at Cleveland and take a long distance airing through Pennsylvania and so on to the metropolis.
Then when he returns to Chicago he may stop over in Indianapolis and take another electric ride to Cincinnati and come home by the way of Indianapolis and a route shorter than are the routes of the steam car lines.
