TAKING CAR DRIVERS.

The Union Line COmpels Them TO
Deposit twenty-five Cents Per
Day.
On Saturday last the drivers on all
the branches of the Unioa Passenger
Railway were notified that In future
they must deposit twenty five cents q
day uulll the sum 0f $25 had been
reached in order to defray any ex.
peuses that might be incurred through
careless or reckless driving. The plan
was roundly denounced by many OF the
drivers, and several Of them threa tened
to leave sooner than stand the extor-
ton, as they called it. The scheme
was originated by President Kemble
upon the Continental Railway, and
was found to work SO we'll that it was
put into general use upon the Union
Line. The Company, it is claimed,
has saved considerable money by these
deposits, as it frequently happened
that drivers who had broken cars left
without paying the damage. Where
the men could not deposit $25 in one
sum, they were allowed to pay eenty.
five cents a week until the total was
reached. When a driver leaves, the
money is handed back TO him. The
conductors are also compelled to make
q deposit TOR their uniforms and bell
punches.

A Charge OF Arson.

At the instance of Turner Brown, of
Brick Meeting House, Evangeiina
Rogers, daughter of Abner Rogers,
was brought before Squire Taylor,
Thursday, on The charge of having al.
tempted to burn her falher's barn on
Wednesday morning. Brown testified
that he saw Miss Rogers throw bum
die of lighted rags in the barn-yard
and run away, af er which SHE imme
diately started for Oxford, Pa. He
secured the rags, which fortunately
failed to burn, aud produced them at
the hearing. Drs. Hopkins aud
Mearns appeared aud testified to the
good character of the accused and also
stated they would not believe the
others on oath. The charge has
caused great excitement in the neigh
borhood, the very best citizens say
they do not believe word of 1t, and
suppose it was instigated by Browns
wife who is q sister. The general
supposition is her object was to got
the young lady out of the way, or
prejudice the parents both of whom
are old and at present sick, SO she
might inherit the property; nice
little farm of sixty acres. DIR. Hop
kins says the younger sister has taken
all the trouble and given her parents
the st possible after tiou, while Mrs.
Brown has done nothing to render
them any assistance. The case was
postponed until Thursday of next
week. Mr.. Rogers barn has been
twice burned aud two others of the

I he first joint discussion by appoint
ment brtween Mai. John w. Daniel,
Democratic candidate for Governor,
and Col VIM. E. Cameron, the candi-
date of the readjusters or coalitionists,
cau.e off here to day in the presence of
a large crowd from this and adjoining
counties. At half.past twelve the
meeting was called TO order by DIR.
Webb, chairman of the readjusters'
county committee, who announced
that Col. Cameron would lead of in
speech of an hour and quarter, and
be followed by Maj. Daniel, who would
have the same time in his reply both
speakers to have three.f0urths Of an
hour each In conclusion.
Col. Cameron 10 q graceful and pols
ished speaker, but in strength of voice
and other elements asa stump orator
he proved to be inferior to his oppo-
nent.
Maj. Daniels appearance was the
signal for an oldtim democratic ova-
tioD, aud his speech fully met the pub.
lie expectation. It was an able and
eloquent presentation of the issues Of
the canvass. He met every point
presented by his opponent, and 30 eff
fectually turned the tables upon him
that the crowd grew wild with en-
thusiasm. He very forcibly vindicated
his party in it's efforts to secure o set
tlement of the debt question upon q
basis alike honorable to deOtor and
creditor, and arraigned the readjusters
for a faclious opposition, which for
selfish purposes was keeping alive the
| fire Of internal strife within the State.
in reply to Col, Cameron's charge Of
enmity 20 to xhe public schools, he
showed that the nemocratio party had
established ana put in operation a
8 hool system for both white and col
ored pupils long before the time re-
quired by the State constitution, and
that the improved financial condition
of the system by which some 2,000
more schools were opened last year
than the year before was due to the
operations of what is known as the
Henksl school bill, measure that was

| he declared that rather than see the
dear old State that he loved so well dis
graced by the stigma OF repudiatlon, be
would be willing to put the torch to his
own dwelling aud commence life anew
as be did at The close OF the war, with
nothing upon his back but o ragged
jacket.
Altogether Maj. Daniels speech was q
mastery defense OF his party in Its con-
duct of the affairs Of the State since this
reconstruction era.
Intthe Iejoin6er which followed, SOM
very sharp thrusts were made, whicl
brought forth loud applause from th
adherents Of the respective candidates
The discussion was conducted in q yer.
courteous and gentlemauly manner
Good order and good feeling prevailed
