OLD AND NEW WAYS.
How Our Forefathers Made Transportation
PHILADELPHIA Ledger,

How Our Forefhthers Made Transportation. d.
Philadelphia Ledger.
Mr.. Newbold II. Trotter, the we'll
known artist. has on exhibition at Hasel,
tines galleries. a series of pictures, painted
for Mr.. H. H. Houston, illustrating the
three eras oi transportation in Pennsylva.
mia ia tho last fifty years. Tho first
represent the means of conveyance
before 1S3l-in the foreground, great
Conestoga wagon, with it's team of
four strong horses slowly plodding
along the high road in the middle dis
tance an old country tavern, with it's
swinging sign, i stage coach with it's
spanking four in hand just coming to a
stop, and another just starting off. The
landscape is Il fine portraiture of one of the
tlourishing valleys of the Susquhanna as
it looked in tho old times. The second
picture shows the Pennsylvania canals as
they were in active operation from
1884 to 1858, in one direction a
freight boat, in the other a passenger boat
drawn by horse power in the distance on
the slopes OF tho mountain side the old
" Portage road" with the canal boats
mounted on trucks, ascending and des-
cendipg. The landscape is one of the pic
turesque gaps in the Alleghenies, now
almost lest in the hurry of railroad travel.
The third picture is scene on the Penn
sylvania railroad in 1880 with great rail-
way bridge spanning broad stream trains
passing and repassing, signal stations, and
the many details of modern railroad ad-
mirably reproduced, and above and be-
yOnd a long vista Of distance, through
which the railroad carries the vast com.
merce and passenger traffic that is daily
moved over its well built and well man
aged lines. Mr.. Houston has chosen the
three eras Of transportation in which his
own successful career has been passed, and
Mr.. Trotter has admirably interpreted the
great changes that have marked the last
fifty years. To Mr.. Houston's contempo-
raries these pictures will be full of living |
interest and to younger generations they
are an instructive lesson.

The Indian Wars.

Agent Wilcox telegraphs to the Indian
bureau that company of rangers is near
the San Carlos agency, evidently intending
to surprise the Indians. The latter are
excited by the movements of tho rangers,
and it is feared that serious trouble may
ensue. Secretary Teller has directed Agent
Wilcox to caution the rangers and also to
acquaint the United States military Off
GERS with the situation, in order that they
may take measures to avert trouble.
Advices from New Mexico say that Gen
raj Crook broke camp at Wilcox on Mon
day and started for Guadalupe Canon
with 300 troops, 200 Indian scouts and
twenty one wagons. The expedition was
supplied for ninety days. On their ar
rival at the Canon, Captain Crawford and
Lieutenant GatewOod commanding the
scouts with one company of troops, will
penetrate the Businesses of the Sierra
Madre mountains, and the remainder of
the command will be posted along the
boundary. Arrangements have been
made to guard against the anticipated
trouble with the White Mountain Apaches
at Fort Apache.

it in bed clothing, poured kerosene oil

burn the house and have it appear that he
had been burned in it, and thus enable
the family to obtain the amount of the
life policy recently procured.-Lucy Haul.
