George Baldwin and Philip Meisenheimer
would like the public to understand that
they are not lunch-punshers, nor do
they pay regular midnight visits to

bar-keeper for cracker, and on being re-
fused they told him to go to- well, TO a
place said to be any number of times hotter
than Newport, when the bar tender COM
menced banging away at them.
One of the most fragrant swindles on the
poor people who are forced to patrOnize
street railroads is the Newport & Cincinnati
White Line" which crosses the railroad
bridg. Passengers who pay their bridge
toll and afterwards take car on the bridge,
deluded by the placard in the cars, which
reads Local Fare, S Cents" are compelled
to pay 8 cents more, or 8 cents in
all. The fares on the road are extortions
in every case, and it is we'll that people do
not patronize it only when forced to do so
by stress of weather. By riding over the
bridge it costs you cents to Fourth and
Walnut; by walking over the bridge and
taking car on the Pendleton Line you can
ride up town as far as the Bellevue House
for 4 cents.
