The draught of universal interest in that direction had left the other streets almost deserted, but as he approached the thoroughfare he found all the ways blocked, and the horse-cars, ordinarily so furiously headlong, arrested by the multiple ranks of spectators on the sidewalks.
The next night he could not ride out from the city; he must walk. When he got beyond the bridge, he wondered that he saw no horse-cars coming toward him. He remembered that he had seen none for some time, but now he noticed a long line of them standing before him, pointed outward. He heard the puff of a steam fire-engine, and saw that travel by rail was stopped by a fire.
Rosario is the second port of the confederation. It stands a short distance away from the river on a barranca or cliff. Passengers on landing are conveyed in horse-cars to the town, which is laid out in handsome streets and built up with charming and comfortable houses. Much of Rosario's increasing prosperity is owing to the railroad which connects it with the interior town of Cordova to the west.

I know of several instances, besides this one of the horse-cars, which might seem to support the criticism, but cannot on the whole think it well founded.

Just around the corner where Edward lived the cars stopped to water the horses on their long haul.

I'm no long-distance telephone, and the racket of them horse-cars is enough to set a body crazy." The passenger laughed, stretched out a leg, gathered the other beside it, and stepped to the sidewalk.
Horse-cars jingle where the prairie schooner used to stick fast in the mud-hole, scooped to that end, opposite the saloon; and there is a Belt Electric Service paying fabulous dividends.
Oh, if ever the happy day comes when Deniston consents to move into town, I never wish to set my eyes on the country again as long as I live, unless well, yes, I should like to come out just once more in the horse-cars and kick that elm-tree by the fence!
