miscellaneous Notes.

The New York Central is enforcing the re-
quest of the Railroad Commissioners, and are
dscharging all of its employees under the age of
twentyone years.
Some of the men who overstepped the bounds
of prudence during the late strike on the Union
Pacific, and wrongfully interfered with the oper-
alton of the road, have been dropped from the
rolls.
The Frazer branch of the Pennsylvania rail
road was opened to Phenixville on August
last. That month the business. freight and pas
ger was less than 81 900. Last month the
freight and passenger business was over $32, 900.
A question in railway law was recently decided
in Canada to the effect that where a railroad
company has agreed for valuable consideration
to stop at a certain town, the courts will not
pei a specific performance of the contract, but
the town authorities may sue for damages.

One who is Disguised with carrying freights on
the basis of 10 cents per 1OOpounds from Chi
cago to New York, for the sake of holding in
tact the pool, says, in view of the neffciency of
pooling agreements, it is quite time that railroad
managers should be looking about for some more
effectual means of protecting their interests.
And it might be well for them all seriously to
consider whether they themselves are not the
best judges of what their business interests re-
quire When delegated authority, as is some
tails positive loss, the sooner railroad managers
supersede it. and agree upon policy which will
result in giving profit, or, at least, in paying
expenses, the quicker they will return to the
path of prosperity.

out his intentions last week, the bears would,

to devote his time to his personal affairs. When
ever Mr.. Finks resignation is accepted, there
will be some trouble in securing a successor, as

fitness and temperament of unusual evenness

the railroad gentlemen with whom he is obliged

February 18th, 1884.
Though neither branch of Congress
has passed or rejected many bills dur.
the week, there has been much discus
sion of important measures in both
Houses, and various new bills and reso.
lutions have been presented for consid-
Grafton.
Among bills passed by the Senate
was one for the eradication of conta-
gious diseases among domestic animals
by the establishment of bureau Of an
imal industry; one relating to Mexican
Catoctin clarion. [volume] (Mechanicstown, Md.) 1871-1940, 1884-02-14

land grant titles; and bill for an ap-
preparation to complete the approaches
to the Capitol terraces and stairways'
the amount stipulated to be fs71,o0,
The oft discussed, long proposed Con-
gressional library building received re-
newed attention, az did also the ques-
ton of American shipbuilding. The
House spent long time in debate on
its bill to eztirpate Pleuro- Pneumonia ;
the longest speech on the subject being
made by Nj. Lanham of Texas who
thought the operations Of the measure
should be confined to infected localities
alone, and should not apply to the
great south west, which is devoted to
stock enterprise and cattle interests,
thus disturbing the business of large
territory where he claimed no disease
exists.
Among new bills presented in the
House was one for the relief of the
Lady Franklin Bay expedition author
izing the President to offer reward Of
one hundred thousand dollars to the
master, owner, and crew OF any ship
that will during the year 1884, restore
to any part Of the United States, Lieut..
Greedy and his party. Another meas
ure provides for the annual appropria.
ton for a national school fund during
a period Of ten years, the first appro-
priation TO be ten million dollars, and
each succeeding one to be reduced one
million.
Still another bill proposes to amend
the Co institution as to the officers and
duties Of President and Vice President
by the election Of President and three
Vice Presidents, each for the same
number of years. In case of the re-
moval of one the Office is to be held by
the first, second, or third, Vice Presi-
dent IN order.
The House has ordered the printing
of ten thousand extra copies Of the
Morrison tariff bill. The measure is
conceded to be a moderate one for the
most part and can be scarcely said to
favor any locality or shirk the Difficult
ties that lie in the path OF reducing
rates. While it hits the iron industries
Of Pennsylvania, the States of Ohio,
Louisiana. Michigan, California,the rice
States and even kentucky are struck in
their local issues in a manner to
arouse antagonism. The two largest re-
auctions are in sugar, and WOODEN fab
RIGS. Before adopting its new rules,
which the House Of representatives dis
cussed for two days, that body resolved
itself into a debating society on rules
and each amateur parliamentarlan had
a chance to ride his pet hobby for
little while, until ex-Speaker Randall
like legislative Sullivan knocked
each one down in turn.
While advocating an amendment to
the rules, Mr.. Weller managed to aim
blow at the National bankruptcy
system, to condemn the action Of the
Republican party in demonetizing sill
yer, to express his wish for Democratic
success at the next election and to
state that Mr.. Randall was looked upon
throughout the country as a friend to
monopolies. The last remark elected
some laughter in which Mr.. Randall
joined.
