LOCAL TRAINS TO START ON TIE Il. a o.
NEXT WEEK

LOCAL TRAINS TO START ON TIE u, ~ o.
NEXT WEEK
The announcement was made in New
York after the close of business Mon
day afternoon that, "in consequence OF
the arbitrary action of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company have decided to decline to
receive through freight for the present.
Due notice will be given of the resump-
ton of the traffic" This was practically
an announcement of the open hostilities
between the Baltimore and Ohio and the
Pennsylvania Companies. Two years
ago the Pennsylvania cut off the Balti-
more and Ohio passenger trains, but took
rather anomalous position by continu-
ing to carry the Baltimore and Ohio
freights. The contract between these
companies required that thirty days
notice should be given of the intention
of either to end the arrangement 1t
would not have been much of a surprise,
in view of the statments the negotiations
were in progress with the Reading and
Jersey Central Companies, if the Balti-
more and Ohio had at any time recently
given the notice TO the Pennsylvania of
its desire to terminate the freight con-
tract 1t is said to be more probable
that in any event the notice would have
come along in the next two or three
months. But the Pennsylvania has taken
the matter in hand and chosen way for
disrupting the agreement without notice.
This, it is understood, has been reached
by advancing the freight charges to the
Baltimore and Ohio to prohibitive figures.
The sudden rapture ofthe traffic arrange
ments of the Baltimore and Ohio with
the Pennsylvania set the executive oili-
GERS of the former company actively at
work. Second Nice-President King came
on to Baltimore from Spring Lake, N. j.,
and he, after conference with General
Durham, stated that local passenger traffic
would be opened on the new line be-
tween Baltimore and Wilmington next
week, and to Philadelphia a couple of
weeks later Vice-President King, Gen
eral Manager Durham and Superinten-
dent Council, of the new Philadelphia
Division, had conference upon the
the business of putting on local passen
ger train between Baltimore and Will
mington. The statement was made on
the authority of Vice-President King,
that local train each way between Balti-
more and Wilmington, will commence
running regularly next week, that being
the first regular passenger train to start
on the new road, At Philadelphia the
tracks will be completed to the depot
site at Twenty-fourth and Chestnut streets
in about two weeks 1t is then propos-
ed to extend the local passenger service
from Baltimore to Philadelphia. Local
trains between the two cities will be run
for some time before the work is COM
pleted for through connection to New
York .-BdhimOre SIN.

GOT THEMSELVES IN A BOX.


CAMDEN, n J., Sept 4.-Washingtdn
Parks, the wealthy young man who married
his step-motheT few days ago, has not yet
returned from his honeymoon at Manasquan
Perhaps this fact is due to the announcement
that, under an old law of the state which for
bids man to marry his step-mother, both
himself and his bride are liable to arrest for
misdemeanor, and upon conviction to be
punished by q fine which shall not ex.
coed $500, together with Imprisonment
at hard labor for term not exceed
ing eighteen months Under the same law,
moreover, the marriage is illegal, and cohabi-
tation is ranked in the same category with
adultery, fornifcation, and incest In Cam
den, where Parks is well known, the sympa-
thies of the people are almost entirely on
his side. When his father died and left his
entire property to the widow they thought it
a shame, and now that the son, by taking his
step-mother as a wife, has regained control of
the estate, they are correspondingly elated.
But the law makes ii the duty of the prose
cutting attorney of the county to institute pro-
ceedings, and herfe the neighbors and friends
are afraid that he will be compelled to perma-
nently absent himself from this part of the
state at least
