RAILWAY TRAFFIC.
Passenger and Freight Business Heavier
than Usual

Passenger and Freight Business Heavier
than Usual.
Passenger business with nearly all roads in
the country shows little or abatement, and
there never was a time when Western roads
were nearly taxed to their full capacity at
this time of the year at the present time. On
the best trains, one, two and three extra coaches
are frequently hauled, and to secure berth in
q sleeping coach it is necessary to apply for it
Two or three days in advance. The movement
of freight in the West keeps up well, and with
many of the roads a great deal better than was
expected. Grain continues to come to market
in liberal quantities, and the majority of the
roads have had all that they could handle con-
veniently, and we hear complaints from points
in Kansas and Nebraska about the railroads not
beng able to furnish sufficient numbers,
sand some of the fast freight lines operating in
this section are unable to furnish ears as
promptly az they desire The crop of

Reunion at Newport, Pa.

The ninth annual Reunion of the Veteran
Association of the soldiers of Perry county took
place at Newport, Pa, on the Goth nit, and was
a success in every particular. The streets of
the town were gay with evergreens and bunt-
ing and were thronged with sightseers. The
trains, which arrived about noon, were crowded
with members of the Grand Army and veterans
from Juniata and adjacent counties. A delega-
ton from Lieutenant Arnold Lobaugh Post
marched to the depot to meet the Posts from
Mif1iintown, Duncannon, and Marysville, and
escorted them to Centennial Hail. where busi-
ness meeting was held and the following officers
elected: President, Major George A. Shuman
secretary, ID. III. Smith, and treasurer, Dr. d. p.
Sheibley. AT the parade, which was held after
the business meeting, the following Posts were
represented: D. II. Wilson Post, No. 134, OF
Mifflintown, Captain Cornelius Mcclellan Com
mander, sixty comrades in line; w. Allison
Post, No. 1856, of Duncannon, and David Geib
Post, No. 1S8, of Marysville, T. G. Green Com
mander, thirty comrades; Arnold Lobaugh
Post, No. 297, of Newport, Joshua Singer Com
mander, thirty comrades Upon reaching
Center Square the procession broke ranks and
the exercises commenced. Rev. John Vrooman
made the address of welcome and very elo-
quent speech was made by Senator Hughes. More
than 5000 visitors were in the town during
the Reunion, and it was unquestionably the
most successful Reunion of the association that
has vet been held
