nature. DIR. Bnrney's tongue seems to
grow wanton in her praise. When
speaking of the loss of her gifted
brother, Tom Linley, he says !: This
amiable and promising youth was
drowned at an early age, to the great
affection Of his family, particularly his
matchless sister, Mrs. Sheridan, whom
this calamity rendered miserable for a
long time. during which her affection
and grief were distilled in verses of a
most sweet and affecting kind on the
sorrowful event. The beauty, talent,
and mental endowments of this Cecilia

last hour of all who heard or ever saw

her voice and expressive manner of
singing were as enchanting as her
countenance and conversation. In her

Railroad Prospects Good.

In an interview with reporter of the
Philadelphia Press Friday, promi-
nent official of the Pennsylvania railroad
said: 81 think the prospects for railroad
traffic are extremely good. The volume
of business is very large, and 1t is stimu-
lated by the extremely low rates which
are generally obtainable throughout the
whole country. If the pool rates are
fairly maintained and no aggressive an
tagonisms appear, there is no reason why
all the trunk linss should not make salts
factory results for the present year. ANY
move ON the part of any of the lines to
seriously interfere with the traffic, or with
any other o. the companies of the pool
will certainly precipitate general con-
flct that must extend throughout the
principal transporting lines of the coun-
try and only result in compelling the
railroads to carry the great volume of
traffic they are now enjoying at unre.
munerntive rates. | don't think the
Pennsylvania ever had so much annoy

its traffic rs now. We are building Mt this
time two cars every hour in the "a
and expect to keep it up for tho rest of
,he year. In other words, we are now
constructing 5000 cars as rapidly as pos
sible."

Heavy Sentence.

Squire O'Neill's little office was liter

Thursday afternoon 10 listen to the case
of David H. Wilson, charged with as
sault and attempted rape on Maggie
Foreaere. The testimony of fellow
employees of the prisoner, who works in
Bush's morocco factory, tended TO show
that no crime had been committed and
that the girl gave Wilson all encourage
ment.
DIR. Brown, who examined into the
girls mental condition, testified that the
girl had lucid moments at times when she
could recognize the difference between
right and wrong, but that, generally, she
is an imbecile, being subject to epileptio
fits, seldom fully recovering from the
effects OF one, before being attacked
again.
Austin Harrington, Esq., counsel for
the defence, made q plea in accordance
with the testimony, and Squire o'Neill
dismissed the case. The penalty for com
mitting the offence with which Wilson was
charged is from 5000 to $500 fine, 80
lashes, one hour In pillory and 10 years
imprisonment. Wilson was evidently re
lieyed by the dismissal of SO serious q
charge, and received the congratulations

Work on the b. 4 P. railroad station at
Delaware avenue and DUPONT street is
being pushed forward by large force of
workmen. The foundation walls are get
incomplete owing to the softness of the
ground which necessitates the use Of a
great deal more stone than was originally
contemplated. The plans call for walls
four feet high and three wide but these
are inadequate on account of the softness
of the ground, and instead of using about
100 perches of stone in the walls, it is
necessary to utilize about 1000 perohes
in their construction.

THE P. n. r.. BELIEF FUND.
Preparation for the Meeting of Sop
Eemsser 9th Urged.

Editor Gdtstte; since the general
manager Of the Pennsylvania railroad
has fully determined TO grant the en-
ployes of all the divisions another hear
ing upon the subject of the relief plan,
and the time of such meeting being fixed
as September 7th, the employees should
use all the energy possible in making the
fact known, as there are doubtless many
men in the service who have not heard Of
the contemplated meeting. They should
also make careful selections Of represen-
tatives-men who are fully capable and
willing to handle the subject in its true
light when they appear before the mana
ger Of this great corporation. There are
a number of reasons for believing that
the meeting on the 7th Of September, will
be very different from the one on the %
of March last. First there have been a
great many men brought into the scheme
previous to August 31st on account of
age or other disabilities that would debar
them after that date, or In other words
they have read the agreement which Is to
be found on page as, as follows Il --
OF -, in the county of - and state
of -, employed In the service of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company as -
the - do hereby, by reason of such
employment, apply for membership in
the relief fund" And again on page "a
we find as follows: "And that the terms of
this application and the regulations of said
department shall, during my membership,
be q part of the conditions of my en-
ployment by the company" Now we de-
ternine, that since the word company,
in every instance, refers to the Pennsyl.
vania Railroad Company, that the parts
of agreement quoted apply to the rail-
road strictly. Therefore, membership
must be one Of their conditions of employ
ment, and, Notwithstanding the word
voluntary" We must positively view
the matter for ourselves, and men who
and would be ineligible on account
Of age or on account of disability,
who have Joined 1t, have not done
so for the benefits to be derived from
the relief, but for the sake of retaining
their employment, as they concluded
that sooner or later it would be oompul.
sorry and they would be ont of the relief
and, even wJFse-out of the only employ
ment that they are capable of performing.
Since this is the case, that this class of
men are not capable of defending them
selves, 1t is to be hoped that they will
show what independence there is left by
supporting men to represent them who
are able to successfully battle every dis
agreeable feature that is in the book, and
when this is done, there will be nothing
left but the covering. ESiP1oYE.
