BIG RAILROAD TRAFFIC Some idea of the
enormous traffic on the main line Of the Penn
sylvania road may be obtained from the fact
that breakdown between New Florence and
Derry brought together twenty freigh trains,
extending for ten miles along the road. The
scarcity OF water, caused by the lowlesss Of
the streams, compelled the engines to occupy
more time in taking water, and that brought
Ave miles of freight trains together, and de
layed the passenger trains rs well. Oil cars
were utilized for the purpose Of carrying
water to the pumping stations.
POSTAL CARDs.--A long standing order Of
the Postotlice Department has required that
all postal cards having any portion Of the
message written on their face should
be treated as unavailable. First AS
sistant Postmaster General Tyner has
rescinded this order 20 the extent
of holding that such writing shall not render
them unavailable per Sc nor prevent their be-
ing forwarded unless It makes the address IL
leRible.
ONE OF THE EFFECTS 0E Low WATER
The Ohio river at the present tine can hardly
be said to exist. In fact. where once rolled
the mighty stream which III Tue spring tune
freshets dealt destruction to steamboats, and
coal barges, is now seen only succession Of
shallow ponds, scarcely deep enough for
ducks to perform their accustomed additions.
Az a result Of this state of things Cincinnati
has to depend for her coal upon the railroads,
which have already commenced - take ad-
vantage Of the situation by advancing
freights. with the prospect that ether turns
of the screw will Dc given shortly i the by
