The above, from the Berwick paper, is
common sense, and contrasts favorably
with the carpinss of the Mifflinburg print
against Lewisburg. Berwick sees mutual
benefit to Bloomspurg and to the country
adjacent, in the prosperity of the former,
even though Berwick may not advance as
rapidly. So are Lewisburg and Butfaloc

An Arrest


Mr.. T. O. Caldwell, conductor on the Chi
cago & Burlington Railroad has been crest
ed on charge acknowledgment. 1t appears
he was suspected by Superintendent Ham
mond, who put the matter into the hands Of
Pinkerton & Co., Of the Northwestern De-
tective Police Agency, who commenced oper-
atoms some three or four months ago. There
is a regulation of the Chicago and Burlington
Railroad requiring its conductors to return
to the Office of the Treasurer of the Company
IN this city, the iderticdl moneys which they
receive from passengers for fares, after ma
king their necessary changes upon the cars.
Men were employed to travel from this city
to Burlington and back, who paid their fare
to Conductor Caldwell, in certain marked
bank bills and coin. 1t was found that
money SO paid to MIR. c. did not find its way
to the Office of the treasurer, and that the
lar returns made by him fell short of
what they should be when compared with
the number Of passengers which he recorded
in his little memorandum book on each trip,
BY certain marks and signs we'll known to
those coversant with railroad matters. More
than this. these same men often received in
change from Mr.. Caldwell portions Of the
said marked money, which had been paid to
him by them week before, for fare, and
which had remained in his possession instead
Of being paid by him to the treasurer. This
method Of detection was repeatedly tried
aud the evidence in each case fully aud care
fully noted.
The proof of Mr.. C's dishonesty was
thought to be conclusive, and on Saturday
last Mr.. P,nkerton arrested him He was
taken TO Jail, where be remained until We'd
