Peunsylvsnia Railroad Parlor Cars Between New


Commencing on Monday, March 30, the Pennsyl-
wanna Railroad Company will introduce In their
service between New York, Philadelphia, and
baltimore the new style bay-window parlor cars
recently built at the company's shops at Altoona
These cars differ from the old style parlor In
many important details. Tho bay-window feature
is the most striking point of difference TO the casual
observer Instead Of the ordinary Nat windows
these cars are fitted with series Of I'VE bay win
dows each about seven feet wide and trine higher
than usual. They are composed OF central light
about three feet wide, from which two lesser lights
denec In contrary directions. THERE'S no Protection
beyond the outer line OF the cor, hut the central
light falls within the exterior line OF the cars side,
and the detection OF the wings being inward there
Ia no extension beyond the limit Of safety. The
full effect OF this novel arrangement can only be
gained from tho interior, where increased lignting
surface, unusual facilities for observation and other
marked advantages readily appear the results of
the Improvement The windows are made centres
OF eoine new and notable ornamentatlon, which
harmonzes well with the neat and tasteful decora-
| ton OF the entire interior.
The cars are somewhat longer and wider than the
old style, and are divided into main saloon, ladies'
| bondoir, smoking room, and retiring rooms. Each
OF these apartments possess peculiar features In the
line OF comfort and are very attractive both In FUR
| nishng and decoration. An Improvement in tho
fixed seats Of the ears has been introduced, whereby
| ing q greater stability.
| The body OF the car Is placed on trucks larger
| than usual, and the Introduction Of an additional
| spring gives greater case.
| The cars present great many other new features,
which Will make them exceedingly popular with the
| travelling public.
These cars will he run regularly between Now
J. NJ, returning on go A. NJ, and i;'5 +. NJ. from
| baltimore.

NY DEAR SIM; As one OF the readers OF your
valuable paper noticed In last Sundays issue @
severe criticism on the management OF the IRE de-
partmeDt AZ the fire which occurred In ST. Dominic
Church last week. ! am led 10 believe from a per-
sonal inspection OF the premises that Chief Cronin
deserved the highest commentator for his skilful
manner In subduing what al one time threatened TO
prOyea most disastrous cOnnagratiOn. Having been
an eyewitness TO the brave and heroic manner in
which the IRE department acted in Hubdulng the nre
at the National Theatre the morning Of February
a. 1855, when at one time 1t seemed az II no human
agency could control the raging element which threat
ened the total destruction Of the "liarrs House,
taking into consideration the fact that while the
bremen were struggling with the intense heat and a
large volume OF Name at least eighty feet Of the
raers ana sheahng OF the roof OF the rear building
was nearly burnt from under their feet but the sk-
fnl management OF their chief saved this building,
as well as perhaps the entire square from destruc-
ton. AZ practical man, as well as large property
owner ! cannot help from addressing these few
lines, with the hope that you will not permit the
columns OF your Interesting aud valuable paper TO be
used In unworthy and unjust criticism OF Inen who
stand pre-emlnent In their profession our IRE de-
partment and chief cannot be TO highly commended
Tor rpromptness zeal aud energy In suppressing
fires Pardon me for trespasslng upon your time.
Very truly yours, RODENT /. FLEMING.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

The bill of Mr.. Nachbar, prohibiting the
sale of dime novels, created considerable
amusement. 1t was evident the bill was In
troduced as burlesque, point that was
seized by Mr.. Evans, of Hennepin, who
moved that it being purely local measure,
the rules be suspended, the bill read the second
and third time and put upon its passage.
Mr.. Turrell opposed the motion, but It not
having received q second, Mr.. Evans raised
the point OF order that there was no question
before the house, point sustained by the
chair Oaniels), who thereupon referred the
bill to the conf ittee on insane.
The bill of Mr.. Olson, of Houston, to
amend the school laws, provides that the
questions prepared by superintendent in
school examinations, ETC., shall be printed
and published at the expense of the county.
When the bill of Mr.. Batchelder for con-
stitutional amendment granting female
suffrage was reached, in committee OF the
whole, Mr.. Thompson, of Fillmore, moved 1t
be indefinitely postponed, but the ladies'
men in the house, among whom was DR..
Murphy, Durant, Drake, Pratt and Burlin-
game, objected to such summary treatment,
and 1t was referred to the committee on fran
chise, which was not created when the bill
was introduced.
Mr.. Muzzy, vice president of the Farmers
alliance, desires 1t stated that the annual
meeting of the alliance will be held at the
capitol February 4, and that headquarters
and committee rooms will be at the Winslow
house, where the president and secretary
have secured rooms.
The railroad committee of the house will
hold an open meeting in the chamber Of the
house at 1880 Wednesday evening next, to
attend which general invitation Is extended
to all railroad officials and citizens generally,
to be present and give their views especially
upon the workings of the Illinois railroad
law.
1t is understood that the house railroad
committee is making good progress with
its work, and that it has the main fea-
lures of bill which it proposes to report
to the house, so far agreed upon that they
have referred it to subcommittee to put
in shape and incorporate in bill which it
is believed viii meet the views of decided
majority of the full house. The bill, it is
understood, will provide for board of COM
inissioners of FIVE, one from each congress
sional district, and embrace the general pro-
visions for the regulation of railroads in
other states where the com missioner system
is in pra ,tice. The committee has and is
working in great harmony, and il is believed
the bill when reported will De backed by the
unanimous recommendation of the COM
mittee.
At the session Tuesday the house will have
nine house aud six senate bills on the calen-
dar for passage, and ten house and one SEN
ate bill on general orders.
