A Good Time to Reform.

Unbiased investigation has made it evident
that shipping dress ed beef in refrigerator cars
from the West is not proving satisfactory ex-
pertinent. more especially in the summer months.
Now it behooves the railroad companies, owners
of stockyards and shippers of stock on the
hoof to do all in their power to prevent the abuse
of live stock when in transit Yards for feeding
and resting stock are established at proper dis
tances along the lines of railways and there is
no excuse for landing stock upon an Eastern
market in bad condition. Unscrupulous Chicago
dealers said to withhold water from the cat
tie until near Jersey City in order that by ex-
cessive drinking just before reaching market
they may appear plump. and the comfort of the
poor creatures is so much disregarded through
out their long journey that they become bruised
and feverish. so that their flesh does not reach
the shambles in proper condition for human
food. In Philadelp hia there is much complaint
concerning the sale of bad meat, and in all large
cities great quantities Of meat sold which
ought to be condemned. Legislation is needed
to prevent the abuse of live stock iESrailw ray
cars, for the sake not only of the animals, but
also of the people who eat their flesh.

A Dover Interest in Litigation.

When Archibald Hill died in this county, in
1887. no assignment of dover was made out of
his estate. The widow and her daughter con
tinued to live on the land in question, and in
time the former married Abraham Rouse while
the daughter became Mrs. Colcazer. In 1859 Mrs.
Colclazer conveyed her interest in the land to Fl.
FL. Hill, subject to dover. Under this convey.
ance Hill now holds the property. Mrs. Rouse
in 1860 executed to Hill qutcan deed. She
died in 1872, and Mrs. Colclazer, now Rebecca
Ann Riker claims that her mothers interest
descends to her. Yesterday she and her hus
band, Ephram Riker, filed their complain,
against Hill. setting forth the above, and alleg
ing that from the time the quitcaim deed was
executed by Mrs. Rouse the latter, up to her
death, received no rents or profits from the land.
1t is charged that she could not ALLEVIATE a dover
interest in the property which came to her by a
former husband. and hence the qutclam was
illegal. Mrs. Riker asks for sale of what was
her mothers interest iii the land, and that out of
the proceeds she be paid the rents and profits,
amounting to ST. 500, due from the time Hill &C
quired possession of the dover interest.

Getting Into Close Quarters.

The tracks of tn g Baltimore g. Ohio railroad
have reached within two feet Of the Pennsylva-
MAS tracks at Philadelphia, and the employees
of that company have blocked their road at
Moore street. the point where the two tracks
meet, with long line of loaded freight.cars, and
two immense engines are ready to assist in re-
pulsing any attack that may be made by the op-
posing forces. A watch is kept night and day
and the men have built huge frame shanty d-
reesy in the line of the advancing road From
each side of the house number Of heavy brass
wires protrude The structure has been filled
with securely protected boxes of various shapes
and signs reading Dangerous" Keep off y are
displayed. When the Baltimore e. Ohio work
men attempt to cross the Pennsylvania tracks
trouble is anticipated
A peculiar building, all knowledge Of which
the Pennsylvania officers disclaim. has been
erected at Meadow and Swanson streets, where
the Baltimore & Ohio proposes to cross the rails
Of its rival. 1t is low and square, and made of
massive timbers Narrow slots have been cut
In the side facing the Baltimore 81 Ohio's unfn-
5saed tracks, and they look like loop-holes in
stockade. Thick copper wires also prelude from
the sides. and danger signal has been hoisted
oser the root. The Baltimore & OHIO officials
say the thing is a mystery to theni but they
think il has been constructed to keep them from
crossing the track. Whether t is a storage house
forforpedoes or az. electric station from which the
rails are to be charged with electricity should
midnight sally be determined upon they cannot
say.

cciving Attention.
The Middle and Western States Freight Asso-
citation WILL on Oct l. issue a revised classifica-
ton. Several important questions were dis
cussed at the meeting in Petoskey Mich, last
week. At the general meeting the secretary
stated that he had communicated with the several
chairmen of the various local committees regard
ing the practice of underbiing in weight. and
also on the question of the adoption of uniform
freight receipts or shipping bills and reported
that replies had been received generally, but not
from all points. After discussion it was re-
solved that the matter Of underbillng of
weights and the question of uniform freight
receipts be laid upon the table until
next meeting. A communication from Mr..
e. l.. Cole. assistant general freight agent Of the
Pennsylvania Company. deprecating the prac-
tce of the issue of one-thousand-mlle tickets at
less charge than two cents per mile, and re-
questing that the meeting take such action as
may be necessary in the premises, was pre-
scented. A resolution was offered that hereafter
no roads, members of the association. sell one
thousand mile tickets for less than $40 each,
which, upon vote, was lost.
The matter of sale of shippers tickets at less
than two cents per mile will be taken up at the
next general meeting of the association, and the
managers OF their respective roads with the
view OF coming to the next meeting prepared to
take action with reference thereto. The next
meeting will be held at Pittsburg, Dec. 10.
Official Changes on the Pennsylvania Lines.
There is the highest of authority for saying
that in the main the Journals slate of official
changes on the Pennsylvania lines was correct
James McCrea is made general manager Of all
lines west of Pittsburg, and is to report to j.
N. Mccullough, first vice-president of the Penn
sylvania Company. who has consented to remain
in that position now that Mr.. McCrea relieves
him of the most arduous duties of the Office of
vice president. Mr.. McCrea is to have his head
quarters at Pittsburg, Pa. The title OF VIM. A.
Baldwin, now manager of the Pittsburg FIT
Wayne & Chicago, is after Oct. to be known
as general superintendent a newly created
position He will continue in charge of that road
John f. Miller is appointed general superin
tendent of all roads of which Mr. McCrea was
general manager. his headquarters at Columbus
Ohio The last appointment is highly compl
mentary to Mr. Millers ability as railroad
man, and is promotion he has we'll earned.
The official from whom the above information
was obtained said that there to be further
changes although what they would be had not
been fully decided upon. He thought it probable
however. that E. w. Mckcnna would succeed
