Railroad Notes,

A Clifton Forge letter says the G. u o..
company intends building a 100000 hotel
there, on the green in front of the old depot,
and also a newdepot, and adds: about
one mile and a half west of this place thirty
building lots have been laid off by the Chesa-
peake & Ohio Railroad Company and, as
there is not sufficient room on the yards
here to repair the cars of both the Chesa-
peake & Ohio and Richmond & Allegheny
roads, it is proposed to move the shops of
the latter to the place where the lots are
laid off. The name of the place will, it is
thought, be Jackson River. The company
has force of hands at work there and also
a force at work on a bridge near there.
There is quite rush for that place, and it
is thought it will cause little BOOM"
On the first of the new year the American
Express Company will commence doing the
express business over the Chesapeake &
Ohio road. The Adams at present operates
over the G. & O., but as stated recently in
the VINDICAToR, negotiations have been
pending between the two companies look
ing to a transfer Of this line to the Ameri-
can. The negotiations have been completed
with the result as stated above. When the
American goes on the G. Il o. it will have
all the ingalls, roads. The officers in the
Adams office at Staunton, as we learn by
application there yesterday, have received
no notification about arrangements under
the transfer.
L. B. Jackson has been appointed Super
intendent of Construction of the Chesa-

The arehing Of the Big Bend Tunnel is
being pushed forward rapidly under the

THE NEW COLLECTOR.

A young man named Thomas j. Pen
man has been appointed Collector of
Internal Revenue for this district. We
are informed he is twenty-nine years
old, is Scranton lawyer, and of course
was not soldier, as he was only four
years old when the war ended. There
were several other applicants for the
Office, all of whom were veterans,
among them being Capt. j. b. Robi-
son of this town.
This is another evidence of the insin-
cerity of the boasted love of the Re-
publican party for the soldier. Capt
Robson fought brsvely, and bears
upon his person the marks of rebel
bullets, but his claim is of 40 account
when presented to Republican Presi-
dent, and he is cast aside for one who
never faced cannon, but who perhaps
may WELD greater political influence
in larger city. What has become of
the law that pretends to give the prefer
ence to Uuion soldiers in appointments
to civil office2
This action of the administration is
on par with the appointment OF a
Western postma ter. President Cleve-
land removed a postmistress who was
the widow of soldier, and Mr.. Harri-
son, then in the Senate, gave vent 10
his wrathful indignation. When, how
ever, he became President, and the
same woman was an applicant for the
same place, he ignored her appeal, and
appointed a ward heeler to the posi-
tion. When the President of the Uni
ted States ignores veteran soldiers and
their widows, and the Governor of
Pennsylvania vetoes pension bills, it is
high time for the loyal press to cry out
against these Northern political out
RACES.

QUICK TIME AND IMPROVED TRAIN

10 ATLANTIC CITY VIA PENNSYLVANIA
X. II.

The outlook for the summer season
at Atlantic City was never SO promis-
lug as it is at present, and the pros
porous City by the Sea was never in
so good condition for entertaining
and amusing its summer guests. Enter
tanning in the sense of affording food
and shelter is all that is required of
the Atlantic City people, Nature furn-
lshes the rest, and she lays sea and
sand, sky aud wind under tribute to
aid in accomplishing her purpose. The
great Seaside City of summer pleasure,
resourceful as it is in all that is attrac-
tive and beneficial ON sea aud land,
could ue> er attain to its high standard
of popularity if Natures ally, the rail
road, did not lend its efficient aid Ia
rendering access SO easy that the aver
age traveller counts the trp as moth
ing.
The facilities afforded by the Penn
sylvania Railroads seashore branches
will be greatly improved for the con-
ing season. They have always been
maintained on scale of libel ality un-
approached by those enjoyed by any
other watering-place, but a progressive
spirit will. this summer, be manifested
in many and striking improvements
The summer schedule will go into effect
on June goth, and it will present a
service of trains superior in number,
speed, and equipment to that of any
previous year The roadway of both
the West Jersey and Camden and At
lautic roads have been reballasted and
relaid in many portions in anticipation
of an improved accelerated, and in
creased service, so that the new sohe-
dule will find both of the Pennsylya-
MAS Atlantic City lines in prime ply.

There seems to be no falling

Though the season is fast COM
ins to a c'ose. Why is this so :?
Because the goods we send out
are as good in quality as can be
bought anywhere at the prices
we offer them. Three things
serve Us, viz ; Quality, guam
tity and price. The paper we
sell we guarantee full length and
full weight. These are two
points TO be careful of in this

very quick time of transit heretofore
made between the Delaware and the
ocean will be materially reduced.
An innovation, which hard. working
business men will appreciate and the
residents of suburban towns and neigh
boring cities will find most convent
ent, is late evening train from Phila-
delphia. 1t is proposed that this train
shall leave Philadelphia about $3.50 p.
NJ, after all the afternoon connections
are in and all business is over, and ar
rive in Atlantic City for late supper.
II will undoubtedly prove popular
movement, and will oftentimes save
much hurry and annoyance. Another
new feature will be late train up,
leaving Atlantic City at 1890 =. M.
for Philadelphia, enabling visitors to
spend the evening with friends and ie-
turn the same night Other fast trains
will run ut convenient hours OF the
day in both directions, 80 that every
one may find a leaving and arriving
hour to his taste.
Two new trains of considerable imp
ortance have been added to the schedule
within the past week-one an early
morning train, designed to deliver the
newspapers in Atlantic City before
breakfast, and the other an early train
up for the accommodation OF those who
would be in Philadelphia before nine
o'clock.
