The Old Red Cars nt the PostOfice VIII

The Christmas present which the direc-
tors of the Pittsburg, Allegheny and Pleas
ant Valley Passenger Railway Company
have in store for citizens; is more rapid
communication over their system.
The Pullman Company has 25 cars almost
ready, and the first shipment of 10 cars was
expected to have reached the city yesterday.
An official stated yesterday that he ex-
pected to see the new cars in operation
within couple of weeks, and that every
thing is ready for start.
A new feature in connection with the
working of this road is that the motor men
and conductors have contracted with the
company for a work day OF nine hours. The
rate of wages will be on a basis of 20 cents
per hour; any extra time called for in case
of emergency to be paid for at the same rate.
1t is said that the company will cali upon
the men to work longer hours on Sunday,
but this is a point not fully decided. The
employees will be provided with uniform
consisting of a suit, cap and overcoat, which
will stand each man in just $S3 so. The
company proposes to reeoup itself for the
outlay by deductlng 25 per cent of each
mans wages until the clothing is paid for.
Some of the men think that the company
can very we'll afford to pay for the uniforms,
since it makes it obligatory on the men to
wear them.

sides of the question is carried on with
great vigor.
The separation, as has been heretofore
published, occurred in 1888, over the ques
ton as to whether or not Presbyterians
should vote at the elections of the various
officials of the country.
One side maintained that no church
members should vote, while the other main
tsined that he should, as voting was more
than a mere right, and really was a duty
entailed on all Americans by the very fact
of their citizenship.
Each branch OF the church appointed a
committee Of three to meet and discuss the
matter. These committees have since been
enlarged to ten members each. They will
meet shortly after the holidays and prepare
reports to be submitted to their respective
SYnods. The General Synod, which is the
governing body of the new school, or voters,
will meet in May, 1890, and the Synod, gov
erning the body of the non-voters, will meet
in June, 1890.
1t is expected that the meetings of the
enlarged committees will be held in Geneva
College, Beaver Falls. Rev. John Graham,
of Philadelphia, is Chairman of the General
Synod Committee, and Rev. H H. George,
D. D., President of Geneva College, is
Chairman of the Synod Committee.
