Ions Of the road. extending from Altoona Phila-
delphia
Il WORK RESUMED
The employees in the Pennsylvania Railroad shops In
this city also resumed work day. after having been
idle by Of the strike sunday last. The
number OF strikers the middle and Eastern divisions
has been comparatively small, and the cessation of
work the result OF the operations OF outsiders,

ployes. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company had
about twelve hundred stationed in this vicinity,
about Two hundred and ity OF which were loaded with
coal oil and other reghts Nearly all the latter
moved to their destination the East to-day without
interruption.

The troops NhO passed through last night and this
morning from Blairsve Intersection and Pttsburg on
the western division OF tho Pennsylvania Railroad

was experienced In getting crews to run the trains
from Altoona. Many engineers and other railroad
employees declined on the ground OF fear OF bodily
harm. The engineer and fireman OF the train having
on board the United States troops guarded the
locomotive by large iorce OF regulars as could be
placed on It.

IL GENERAL
At three o'clock, Wednesday Was the
annual meeting OF the society. The fol-
lowing board of officers was elected /:
President, G. w. RYerson, Paris; Vice
President, VIM. o. King, Paris; Trustees,
S. /. Millett, Norway, Nahum Moore,
Buckfeld, S. ). Smith, Oxford, j. X
Hammond, Paris, Charles Young, Water
tord. A. G. L. King was unanimously
re elected Secretary. The other officers
are principally new.
Wednesday was n harvest day for the
society. lndirlli ,..s were that Thursda }
would be stormy, and those who wished
TO attend, availed themselves OF the only
day that was certain. At least five thou
sand persons were upon the ground dur
ing the day. The attendance Thursday
was good, though the dampness kept
many women and children at home.
Den Stevens was on the ground, SIS
usual, with his immense menagerie OF
living wild animals, trained bear. mice,
&c. His doorkeeper was vCciierous in
his appeals to a waiting audience, who
thought it more fun 10 listen to his pro-
longed harangues than it would be 10 60
inside.
The blowing man, the pen man, the
punching man and the loud mouthed pea
nut man, who sold fresh baked peanuts,
not yet cold for ten cents bag quart
and a gill in every bag three quarts and
three gills for quarter, and how's that,
were all there and did thriving trade.
Peanuts and gingerbread constitute the
oil offare ut Cattle Shows; but we never
saw the peanut trade so brisk, or the com
petition so sharp before. They sold from
rival carts as low as five cents per quart,
and how the shells did flY.
Ii. w. Hitler was upon the ground
with new household article oil grea
value known as "kuapp's Patent Self
wringing Mop" 1t consists OF an iron
continuance for securing the mop rag
and all arrangement by which it may bt
wrung without wetting the hands. Tho
advantage OF This will readily appear TO
every person VINO INDUCES in the pastimC
of hopping up The floor.
Those who have attended fairs iol
many years, pronounce this one OF The
mos. successful ever held. In the hal
and stDok-yarJ was this excellence par
ticularly notable; and here is just where
effort should be put forth, TO make such
gatherings profitable.
