A Porter,s View of Tipping.

1t is only the man that isn't used to
travelling who complains about the fees
he has TO pay to porters, " said a Pullman
porter to a st. Louis Gl0be-D Democrat man
the other day. ''The old timers never say
a word. You have never heard a drum
mer cursing n s~leeping-car porter. We
are paid by the company to do certain
work, and we do that, whether or not we
are paid anything extra by the passen-
gers. For services beyond this we all
have o fixed scale of fees, and it is well
understood by everybody that travels
much. It's about the same on all the
roads. A man travelling by himself in a
sleeper for a single night has his boots
BACKED and his clothes brushed, and is
expected to pay twenty-five cents at the
end of his trip. II he has q lady with him
we expect more, for a lady in a sleeping
car gives us as much trouble as six men.
''If a party of three or four are together
we wait on them attentively; get them
out card tables, see to their little pieces of
baggage, attend to kilograms, and think
ourselves poorly paid if W g don't get 81.
If we have an invalid on the car it is not
unreasonable for us to be disappointed il
the nurse doesn't give us Il or 50. Robert
Garrett believes i'll tipping on sleeping
cars, and he never goes over the road in
an ordinary car without giving the porter
something.-St. Louis Globc-Democrdt.

NOTES

The oldest conductor, in point of SER
vice, on the New York Division of the
Pennsylvania Railroad is said to be
Tom" Gallagher, who runs a e Bruins
wick local. Tom was a brakeman away
back in the history of the road on the
same train of which the late George w.
Barker, who was superintendent of the
road years ago, was conductor. Mr.. Gal
lagher is considered by his associates to
be one of the most joval men on the road
in spite of his years. He is full Of humor
and is the life of every party of which he
makes one.
The New York, Susquehannaand West
ern road has ordered 500 new freight cars.
The Pennsylvania. has divided an order
for 5000 freight cars between four build
ers III the West.
Wednesday last was the fifty-ninth an
niverSary of the operation of the first To-
connective in this country.
A new passenger station and freight
depot are to be erected by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad at Monmouth junction.
The Central has a new engine with a
double barrelled boiler, and it is claimed
that it can make seventy miles an hour.
The Altoona shops are busy building
ten or fifteen new engines for the New
Jersey division of the Pennsylvania road.
The Central's shops at Phillipsburg be-
gan running on full time on Monday
after running half time for three months.
1t is said that when the Lehigh Valley
gets it's own tracks to Jersey City the
time will be shortened by at least thirty
minutes between EaStOn II New YOrk.
In ~eXcavating for the new Market street
station stumps were found at the depth
of nine feet, showing that the swamp
which onc existed there had been filled
up to that extent.
Supervisor James r. Smith completed
his tortieth year in the employ of the
Pennsylvania Railroad last month. He
now has about 200 men to look after, and
he is as active in the performance of this
task as a man of half his years.
Liberty Island Lodge of the Brother
hood of Railway Brakemen will hold its
regular meeting at the lodge room in
Lafayette and members of No. 72 and 2I9
are cordially invited to attend as matters
of interest to the Grand Lodge will be
discussed.
John Curran, master of the Hoboken
Lodge of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen, was promoted recently to the
post of engineer of one of the passenger
yard drill engines. He had the reputa-
ton of being one of the steadiest and best
firemen on the Delaware, L~ackawanna
and Western Railroad and deserved the
promotion.
The new Erie way bill office in Port Jer-
Wis is now completed and soon as the wires
can be changed and the telegraph office
moved inthe old office will be pulled down
and thus complete the general transforma-
ton OF things opposite the Delaware
House. The new tracks have been fin

AT the meeting of the Trenton Common
Council Wednesday evening MI. Hancock
introduced a resolution that the increased
amount of county tax required this year,
viz, about $4,000, of which the city's pro
portion is about seventy per cent, and the
decreased valuations in the county outside
the city necessitates the raising of a much
larger mount than ever before by the
city for county purposes, that the tax rate
for 1889 be fixed at one dollar and seventy
five cents per one hundred dollars, which
was adopted.
Mr.. Hancock introduced an ordinance
to fix the rate tax at S1.75, which was re-
ferred to the Ordinance Committee
