What is a Trunk Line 2

The readers of the newsp apers of the
day co instantly see mention made of
Trunk Line railroads, but comparatively
few fully understand what is intended
by the designation. Some three or four
railroad lines running westward from
the Atlantic sea-board, are sometimes
not wrongly called Trunk Lines, as they
form the main arteries of traffic toward
the West. If any railroad in the coun-
try deserves or is entitled to the name of
grand Trunk Line, it is the Chicago &
North Western Railway. The company
operating this great line now controls
more miles of railway than any other in
America, If not in the world. 1t is by
all odds the most important line of rail-
road in any way connected with Chica-
go. No other road running out of Chi
cago carries anything like as many pas
sengers or handles anything like the
volume of freight that is transported
over this road. 1t alone runs in and out
of Chicago every day in the year, nearly
as many passenger trains as all the other
Chicago roads put together. AS it is
with passenger trains soft is with freight
it not unfrequently brings into Chica-
go fifteen hundred loaded freight cars in
single day, and if it does not bring in
thousand cars its managers think it is
HOltJ W hlOJ PoocOh6Sl
trains daily, leave and arrive at its depot
at Chicago. OF suburban passengers it
carries more than all the other roads
that run to or from Chicago. These are
facts that can be established by any one
wishing to do so. No road but the very
best could do the business that this great
line does Its track is of the heaviest
steel rail, and is kept in constant repair
by the constant vigilance of an army of
track men, and is patrolled day and
night the year through, for the double
purpose of keeping every thing connect
ed with it in perfect condition, and for
the entire safety of its patrons who are
travelling over it.
No road any aCherG can show super
ior track, finer coaches, stronger,
swifter or better locomotive engines
and no other road west of Chicago have
ever attempted to approach it in its
equipment of Pullman Hotel and Sleep
ing Coaches. 1t alone of all the western
roads have the celebrated Hotel cars and
on this line only can the traveller be-
tween Chicago and the Missouri river
procure the comforts and luxuries that
these cars alone can furnish. Other
lines may talk of Dining cars, and six
teen-wheel coaches, but no one of them
can offer you Pullman or any other
form of Hotel car. These cars combine
great luxury with the greatest obtaina-
bic comfort, and at no increase in ex-
pense over the common, old fashioned
The New Bloomfield, Pa. times. (New Bloomfield, Pa.) 1877-188?, 1878-11-12

and ordinary Sleeping car. The marvel
of those that travel on them is to know
how the company can afford to run
them and charge no more for berths
than is charged in the old fashioned
sleeper. The answer is found in the
great volume of travel this road is carry
ing. The thousands flock to its lines
where the hundreds seek its competitors
We are sure that no one who has once
seen these cars would ever use any other
if travelling in the direction they run.
They are not for the exclusive use of
the rich, but are just as comfortable and
elegant for the poorer traveler-costing
to occupy these cars, no more than does
the occupancy of the old fashioned Sleep
er, no one need for fear of expense, be
prevented from using them. They have
become " the rage" so to speak, with
the Californians, and have attracted the
majority of that class of travel.
If you are about to travel east or west
between Chicago and Council Bluffs,
Omaha, Denver or San Francisco, it
will pay you to see that you get your
tickets by the Chicago & North Western
Railway. AT some future time we may
give you further ideas about this great
rOad.-Ihe Democrat.

NEW York, November s.-Johnson's s.
jewelry store,on Eighth avenue, between
Fifty-fifth and F1fty-six streets, was
robbed last evening of $4,000 worth of
clocks and watches In the presence of a
large number of passers-by. Shortly
after 0 o'clock two men entered the
store, one closed the door and the other,
with revolver, kept in their places
Mr.. Johnson, the proprietor, his clerk
and customer. The Others then
smashed the large plate-glass windows
and packed in two bags the stock ex-
posed. While they were thus engaged
two others, armed with pistols, ordered
the passers-by to move on. The two
who kept possession of the store, receiv-
ing preconcerted signal, turned on the
throng and fired their pistols in the air.
A stampede of the people followed and
the thieves all made good their escape.

him, hit upon the notable expedient of

CB-A curious case ofpoisoning recently
occurred near Daytonville, Conn.,, the
burning of pile of brush containing poi
son sumac near school house, into which
the smoke was blown, causing severe erup-
tions on the hands and faces of the teach

recently occurred in Fairmount Park, Phila-
delphia. A lady living in West Mount
Vernon street was passing burning brush
pile, when the smoke blew into her face,
and she was poisoned about the face and
hands SO badly as to be laid up for two
weeks. She is not yet quite recovered
from the effects.

Peculiar Divorce Case.

A very benevolent old gentleman has
appeared as petitioner in divorce
case in San Francisco. He asked to be
released from the bonds of wedlock at
the ripe age of 75. 1t appears that he
did not heed the advice of the elder Mr.
Weller, to "bevare of the vidders," and
now wishes to escape the result of his
folly. On being asked why he was so
rash as to marry his present wife five
years ago he responded with benevo-
lent smile: "Well, she had six children
running on the streets and took pity
on them.n

Tuesdays Elections.

Elections were held last Tuesday in
thirty states. The result shows decided
changes in several northern states, and
the greatest of these we note as follows
In Pennsylvania the Republicans
elect Henry G. Hoyt as Governor by
probably $1,000 majority. The con-
gressional delegation in the next Con-
gress will be unchanged the Republicans
having lost member in the Bedford
district, but gained one in the 18th dis
trict where Fisher beats Stenger. The
Legislature will be Republican in both
branches, ensuring the election of "a
Republican to the U. S. Senate.
In New York the Republicans made
great gains-Danforth, for the Court of
Appeals, rolling up majority of about
fifteen thousand, showing change of
over forty thousand votes since 1875.
The Legislature will be Republican by
handsome majority in both branches,
insuring the reelection of Senator
Conkling. The Democrats lose five
Congressional seats. The Greenback
vote was large only in Greene, Catta-
raugus and Chautauqua counties.
Connecticut has elected Republican
Legislature which ensures the election
of a Republican Senator to take the
place of Senator Barnum. That party
also gains two members of Congress.
New Jersey elects seven members of
Congress, five Republican and two
Democratic, being gain of three Re-
publicans. The Legislature is also Re
publican in both branches.
New Hampshire is overwhelmingly
Republican. The Democrats lose their
sole member of Congress in that State.
Massachusetts declines to place Gen
eral Butler in the Governors chair, and
elects Talbot, Republican, as Governor
by plurality of about $4,000. Butler
for once mistook the political signs, the
Greenback vote not being near so large
or powerful as supposed. The Demo-
Gratis also lose one member of Congress-.
In the western and southern states
the changes are comparatively slight
The south as was expected, is nearly
solidly Democratic, and therefore the
Republican gains in the north, though
they will decrease the Democratic
strength in the House will still leave
that party fair working majority. The
Greenback vote was much lighter than
was anticipated, and the strength of
that party in Congress will not inter-
fere with Democratic organization OF
the House even should they all vote
with the Republicans. The Senate in
the next Congress will probably stand
Democrats, AZ; Republicans, 33, and In.
dependent, l.

Never Return.

1t is said that one out of every four real
invalids who SO to Denver, Cel., to recover
health, never return to the East or South
except as corpse. The undertakers, next
to the hotel keepers, have the most profta-
BILE business. This excessive mortality
may be prevented and patients saved and
cured under the care of friends and loved
ones at home, if they will but use Hop
Bitters in time. This we know. See

WHITING OF WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT, a
correspondent says the aged poet long ago
ceased from the active editorial management
of the Evening Post. The responsible duties
belonging to that position Of honor and pow
er have been delegated to younger hands.
The wishes of the nominal chief, however,
are always consulted, and he continues his at
tendance at the Office almost daily, regardless
of weather. He is fond of walking, and most
ly reaches the Office in that way. He is as
full of the old-time pride of journalism as
ever, but seldom ventures to write for the pa
per. He is conscious that modern journal
ism has advanced far ahead of even his best
ideas of it, and is gratifed thereat His prin-
ciple employment nowadays is partly that of
answering letters from persons in all parts of
the country soliciting his autograph. He gen.
orally responds. Another, and numerous
class of correspondents are of the begging
persuasion. Persons Of both sexes, broken
down in circumstances, who ''have for years
read and admired his poetry and his public
addresses" lay their sorrows at his feet, and
in their last extremity solicit help. If he was
a millionaire he could exhaust his fortune in
brief period. He discriminates in his gifts.
He has no respect for the chronic drummer"
AS TO ''bores," he is occasionally indulgent, al
ways courteous. Having his time largely at
his own disposal. he seems to enjoy listening
to the twaddle of persons who call to see him
Just to have talk with him." and permits
them to rattle themselves out apparently
marking in his mind how and where they be-
gan and how long it takes them to reach the
end of their string. He enjoys visits from
sensible persons who solicit few words with
him as the qualification of their lives. Many
such pay their respects to him, and make
their visits brief. He makes all welcome with
a cordiality that is unfsiling. He lays aside
anything like forinality or conventionalism,
just as he ever did in receiving friends and
acquaintances.
