Must Run Trains.

TIE citizens of OSkaloosa and the Leaven-
worth Board of Trade having filed CON-
plant with tie Railroad Commissioners
that passenger trains were not run on the
Leavenworth, Topeka & Southwestern rail-
road, and the manager.!of the road respond
ing that the company could not afford 20
run suca trains because the passenger
traffic did not pay only about QUE third of
the cost OF service the Commissioners have
rendered decision that the lack of depot
facilities at Leavenworth and the inconveM-
lent location OF its terminus together with
its low rate of speed has not made it an
attra ctiye route for travel, and the city Of
LeaveawOrth and townships along its line
having aided in It's construction, and while
| the board does not hold to the rule that
Grain service should be maintained upon
all routes that do not pay, yet in view OF
:he Importance of the connections of this
road the board recommends that passenger
, train service on the Leavenworth, Topeka
a Southwestern be restored. The Commits
S:Oners say: 1T must be borne in mind
that railroads are not exclusively financial
institutions. TIE privileges granted TO
| corporations to build and operate them
were principally for the public accommo-
dat!oD, and unless they reasonably ellJr,l
this they so far fail of their purpose. If
they prove poor investment this is lii s.
! fortune, which. while it may lead To great
| er caution about future projects, Will hard
ly justify the partial Illustration of the
main purpose of the charter"

trIct-
TYRONE, Pa, May ga settlement OF
the strike in the Clcarfield bituminous,
coal district was effected yesterday by
mutual concessions. The result was
wholly unexpected, and gives rise to-
great rejoicing by both operators and
miners. Yesterday committee of five
representing three thousand miners, in-
structed to act independently of the
Federation or Knights of Labor, met hero
with a committee of operators appointed
by the Philadelphia Coal Exchange. After
considering the question of resumption.
written agreement was reached
whereby the miners agree to re-
sumo at the old wages of forty
cents per 2,240 pounds, on condition
of Just weight with check weighmcn; the
abolition of the store-order system, and
cash monthly payments, and the priyi-
lege of making purchases wherever de-
sired. The price for all dead work and
other disputes will be settled between
mine superintendents and their men, and
all miners shall De re-employed without
discrimination. Work will resume
Thursday next. This action governs
two-thirds of the whole number of min
ers employed in this district. No action
that the miners in Federation No. 3 may
now take can change the result of yes
