Lebanon was the scene Of some lively
railroad operations Tuesday morning
About 1875 workmon, supposed TO DO
Philadelphia Il Reading men, put in an
appearance during the night and began
laying tracks about square south of the
Reading depot with the apparent intention
of shutting out any parties who may desire
to reach tho Hoffman paper mill by rail-
road. This mill was sold recently for
$50, 900 and was supposed to have been
purchased by the Pennsylvania railroad
company, but Tuesday it was learned that
Robert II. Coleman is the owner, and that
he intends to build depot for his new
railroad and to run side tracks TO all the
industrial works south of the borough.
This move, it is thought, will frustrato
Mr.. Coleman's plans. 1t is said that the
new Cornwall ~ Lebanon road, just com
pleted by Mr.. Coleman, is to be leased to
tho Pennsylvania, or, in fact, that 1t was
built for the Pennsylvania company. lt is
now generally believed that tho Schuylkill
valley branch will bo confined to Lebanon
TO connect with tho new road.

THE reported election OF Hoadly by
five to eight thousand majority, seems
to show that the temperance question did
not violently affect the party vote, and
that the issue was fought out on the
amendment question. In the absence
of full returns, however, it is impossible
to get the full lesson of the election,
The vote was very full one. and the
one thing assured is that the voting
which the Democrats have gained makes
the state reliably Democratic in the fu-
ture.

THE Reading railroad is undertaking
to bottle up Mr.. Coleman's railroad at
Lebanon. in view of its being probable
Pennsylvania branch. No such scheme,
however, can be successful, and proba
bly, the Reading has no intention
of putting up the bars between
Cornwall and the Pennsylvania road,
but is only manaeuyering for the ad-
vantage of position. No railroad com
pany can be permitted to choke off a
: rival. The public interests too strongly
demand railroad competition.

AT the Vienna electrical exhibition
there is shown little instrument called
the glossograph, which bids fair to be a
very importan: addition to the inventions
of the century. By its magic influence
human speech is automatically reproduced
rs soon as it is uttered, the different
sounds being committed to paper by
means OF an electro magnetic registering
apparatus. Should this invention come
up to its authors expectations it will be
possible to write four or five times faster
by means of the glossograph than is at
tainable by tn, readiest penmau. The
difficulty in decipheriug the characters aud
the cost of the apparatus will be the chief
obstacles TO the general Introduction Of
the invention. Though it is scarcely
probable that 1t vii! ever come into gen.
eral use, the glossograph can never fail to
be interesting from a scientific standpoint,
as illustrating the wonderful adaptability
of the electrical current to the uses of
mankind.
