RAILROAD D MATTERS. A New Order by Superintendent Ste-
 VenSOn.

Superintendent Stevenson has issued an order that makes talk among the railroad men. In his order the head mail or baggage car must be cut off from the rest of the train before the flying switch going into the Grand Central depot is made. The baggage master and head brakeman must see that the air pipe is disconnected railroad man said last evening: "When the air hose between the cars is disconnected the brakeman and baggage master will be obliged to go the lower step of the car and bend under the platform to turn the cock on the pipe. While in that position the least swing will throw them under the wheels unless they hold on with strong grip"
 The order has been issued for the comfort of the patrons of the road. The baggage car by the new rule can be taken into the depot and unloaded much more rapidly than by the old fashion when the entire train went into the passageway blocked up by trunks and men,

CONGRESSMAN COLLINS AT HOME.
 His Hopes For The Future of Ireland.

BOSTON, Aug. 16.-Congressman P. A. Collins arrived home from his trip to Ireland to-day. He expects the Irish party to in crease it's membership in Parliament from thirty-nine to eighty-eight at the coming election, eighty-three of the members being from Ireland. Thus they will hold the pow CT, dictate the Irish policy and the Irish peo- ple/will be practically self-governed. He thinks the Liberals will have a majority and that within three years the Irish will be con- coded a substantial measure of home rule. The Irish have made more progress toward liberty in six years under Parnell than in the preceding fifty years.
