AN IMPORTANT MOVEMENT
formation reaches US of an import
ant movement on the part of certain
leading Hebrews of the country. 1t
is proposed by them to form Joint
stock company for the purchase of
the Bedford Springs property, which
would be owned and managed by
Hebrews, and made a national place
of resort for people of that race. 1t
is said that the movement meets
with considerable favor among those
interested, and that at the same time
that the Springs are for sale, nu-
cleus for the purchase money has been
obtained, the sum required being
about a quarter ola million dollars.

NEW RAILROAD REGULATIONS.
The keyser CIV. Na.) Tribune
learns that the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad has introduced new regula.
tons for trainmen, that operate fer
the advantage and convenience of
the employees. Among them are the
following:
Each engine has q regular crew of
hands that operate it when used.
Nearly all are enabled 40 make full
time, as it is aimed to have force en-
pl0yed sufficient to do the work, and
no more. At the end of divisions
places are to be provided where en-
plOyees can rest and be comfortable
while waiting for the return trip.
One chief grievance complained of
by. the men WAS that they were
frequently called upon long before
the time for leaving arrived. This
has been remedied by aid Of the tele-
graph, and so arranged and system
atized that no man can be called
more than an hour before his train
moves out. Every employee being
called up is allowed a quarter of a
day time, whether assigned to duty
or not. When engines are laying off
for repairs or necessarily idle, the
crew desiring to go home are en-
titled to passes over the railroad.

On Sunday last we observed cir
cular being distributed around the
Queen City hotel, giving notice that
Mr.. w. M. Clements had been APP.
pointed Assistant Master of Trans
portation, and that his orders should
be obeyed as such. The Baltimore
Bee says of this appointment: 1.-THE
supposed cause of the changes is to be
found by rumor to lie in the fact
that Mr.. Clements and Colonel
Thomas n. sharp are said not to
have been on very good terms lately
and the fact of the creation of an en-
tirely new Office for Mr.. Clements is
looked upon as preliminary to Mr..
Sharp's retiring. There was rumor
some time ago that f.. *. Hyndman
superintendent of the Pittsburgh and
4 ConnellsVille branch, would be in
vited to take the place occupied by
MIR. Sharp. 1t is doubted whether
any such offer has been made, or even
if made, it is not believed that Mr..
Hyndman would accept. The matter
however, is looked upon by rumor
in railroad circles as indicating that
the Office of Master of transportation
will finally fall upon Mr.. Clements
by virtue of his position as assistant.
The headquarters of Mr.. G. will be
at Cumberland, and we extend him
a hearty welcome. q B,6 Atiegd,,-
