property OF the b. & o. and P, W. &

sell through tickets, allowing the Penn.

passengers will have to be transferred
from Camden Station to Union Station
and travel on the Pennsylvania trains
between New York and Baltimore.
The arrangement will interfere with
the Baltimore and Ohio through passen.
ger business, which has grown to be
quite important, but the revenues OF the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti.
more will also be sensibly crippled.
The Pennsylvania officials surely dc
not believe their act will give them the
business which the Baltimore & Ohio
may lose. Ten or fifteen years ago the
railroad managers might have thought
1t good pc hey to take a step like this, in
view Of the fact that the Baltimore &,
Ohio is building its own competing
line. But nine railroad men in ten
to-day ignore the jealousies which
competition begets, and argue out every.
thing from business point Of view.
These men will say the Pennsylvania
has made mistake, because the NOV,
will not stop the Baltimore and Ohio
from building Its lire, but will rathel
hurry 1t up, and In the meantime the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti
more is affected In its revenues. / d.

An Electric Sounding Lead.


NJ. E. de Ia Croix has devised a new
sounding lead which has several points of
interest. 1t tells the exact moment of the
arrival on the bottom by means of an cleo
trio alarm bell. The sounding line is in
reality a cable containing two wires FORM
ing the circuit of the bell. 1t is attached
to the ring Of the lead at one end, and the
hauling winch on board ship at the other.
The lead consists of two parts, the lower
being hung from the upper by four stems
which slide in mortice grooves cut in the
sides of the upper part. Its bottom is
filed with the usual hole, armed with tai
low to catch a specimen of the bottom.
The upper part of the lead, which hangs
from the line by the aforesaid hook, is a
mass of lead to give due weight, but there
is hollow through its interior containing
an electric contact terminating the ends
of the two conductors of the cable. This
contact, which is Of a spring kind, is
closed by a stem or plunger attached to
the lower movable part Of the lead. When
the lead strikes the bottom the plunger is
driven up a hollow in the upper lead, and
makes contact between the ends Of the
two conductors, thereby completing the
circuit OF the bell, which rings on board
and announces that the bottom has been
reached.

A traveller for a Detroit wholesale
grocery house was the other day making
a trip between two Northern country
towns with sleigh when one of the horses
was taken sick, and he drove up at a
farmhouse and inquired if he could put
the animal out and rest him until he re-
covered.
"YOu can," replied the woman, s'but
want to warn you in advance that l have
run away from my husband on two differ
ent Occasions-once with a drOYer and
once with a map seller"

go, L guess l can explain matters to
him."
'DOn't you wait to explain nothing"
she continued; 'he'll go for you without
word, and if you can't wallop him he'll
give you the worst licking stranger
ever got"
The horse was too I'll to 90 on, and the
agent had no recourse but to stay and
face the music. He was at the barn rub
bing the animal down, when the old man
suddenly showed himself at the door,
Waiting just long enough to draw full
breath he made a break for the traveller
The latter dropped his wisp of hay and
felt of the farmers right eye in a way
that laid him fiat. He got up and came
again, but was received with a singer on
the jaw, and as he went down the traveller
got him by the throat and held him fast.
BY and by, when he dared let up little,
he explained:
Il was forced to stop here and take
care of sick horse"
''Well, that's all right" replied the
farmer. LET me up and I'll help rub
him."
He was assisted to his feet, and went
to work with considerable heart BY and
by he went to the house and had his eve
bound up, and when supper was ready he
insisted that the traveller should eat with
him. Not cent would he take when the
latter was ready to go, but extending his
hand he said:
stranger, Pve licked seven different
men who stopped here within the last six
months, and it kinder does me good TO get
knocked under the benches. Next time
you come this way stop and give me an
hours lesson. Good-by to YOU"

stood full-length picture-frame leaning
against the wall. '.Get behind that
Frame" said one Of the party, ''and We'll

The judge stepped briskIy into place.
Slowly the Quaker and his brood came

demanded, pointing toward the Judge.

O''o iiho 0lall commune unbroken. Latterly.
Inc leadership among Maine Eterateurs has
oeen taken by women. Among these later
stars we have the author of One Summer
the author of Deephauen, Mary Agnes
Thicker, Frances L. Mace, Mary Thatcher
Hlgglnson, Ella Maude Moore, Rebecca
Perley Reed, Anna Boynton Averill, Susan
Q. Curtis, and Kate L. Vannah. Miss
Vannah is the latest conner, and is probably
the most versatile. She was born at her
present home, in Gardiner, on the Kenne-
bee River, twenty-seven years ago. Her
full name is Letitia Catherine Vannah. She
is an "only child" and has never married.
She has written, in prose and verse, contin
uously since girlhood; has issued a book Of
poems Verses, III pages, J. B. Lippincott
y Co., 1882, and has nearly completed a
prose work Of some continuity; has written
regular Washington correspondence for
Eastern newspapers and contributed
sketches to Boston, Washington, and Port
land weeklies, and to Roman Catholic
monthlies. Music, however, has been the
ruling power and pleasure Of her live. She
has composed numerous songs ("Three
Roses" "Come, for the Sun is Going
Down" andan &c. Salutaris" are her noted
compositions and has become mistress Of
the piano, organ, violin, and harp. Her
accomplishments indeed, have extended to
equestrianism. Those familiar with her
verses, know how strikingly dramatic some
Of them are, and what peculiar power they
all possess 10 move the reader. In the son.
net, her skill in dramatic incident or con-
ception is signal. An illustration of this
appears in the current Trauelers Record.
While in no degree initiative, many of her
poems on love remind one Of Alice Yelling
ton Rollins's Miss Vannah intends visit
ing Washington this winter, as usual, on
her newspaper mission, if she is able to
cave Gardiner; just now, however, she is
under stress of domestic illness and trou-
BILE, and, should she go to Washington, will
not leave home until late in the season.
The Critic well says Of Cables last novel,
CDR. SEWER.
The book is at least triumph Of the
American ability to make something out Of
nothing. Quite as long as the interminable
English novel that conducts its hero from

the book covers only few years in the
