RAILROAD NOTES.

The Central Railroad Of New Jersey has
issued notice, instructlng passenger con-
duclors TO keen a sharp lookout FOR gam I
lers. Gambling must also cease among the
trainmen.
The Lehich Valley Company is putting
stoves In the stations along its main line
and branches. During the summer months
the STOVES were stored in large room At
the shops at South Easton.
Two new passenger locomotives for the
Valley Company are in process Of constiuc-
tion in the WilEesbarre shops. They are
the same design as the No Z, Albert Lewis,
but have somewhat larger boilers and cy-
finders.
A locomotive tank, with all the arrange
merts attached for scooping water from
between the tracks while the engine to
which il is to be attached is making fast
time over the Pennsylvania Railroad, is
being erected at the Lehigh Valley shops
at South Easton.
Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, says that since the
! Brotherhood was organized the wages OF
Locomotive engineers in this country have
been doubled, and that the organization
| has paid over S3.000.O00 in benefits 20
WILLOWS anu olpudio Vi uONNWooN hANAAipNAo o
From the second annual report on the
statistics of railroads it appears that in this
country one passenger in each l,523, l3t
was killed, and one in each 22O,023 was in
| iured, while in England the rate was one
in each 6,042, ,336 killed, and one in 52I,5Il
injured The real burden of fatalities doe:
not. however, rest upon the passengers but
upon employees. On American railroads
one out of every 307 of the latter was killed
and one out of each 3S was injured, whil'
among the trainmen the ratio was one ou
of III killed, and one out OF u injured
Surely the day will come when this reckless
waste of human life will be checked by al
intelligent use of safety appliances.
Il John Cummiskey, of JeanesYIlle, thi
county, has completed a small locomotive
which is as fine piece OF work as an.
person would wish to lay eyes upon. Th'
little engine runs on a road five inche
wide. II is three feet and three inche
long from the pilot to the end of the tanl
and stands eleven inches high from tn
top to the cab. The wheels are four inche
in diameter and it makes a stroke a
regular as any engine on the road. In tn
cab is a seated man with his head ont th
window and another is standing on tn
C tank 1t is built wholly of wood, and an
person looking at IL would hardly think
could be built by any person except
tratesman. 1t is painted in such a styl
o that it is an ornament which VIII take th
, eye of any person seeing it.

Elsewhere in to-day's issue of this paper
we print the resolutions passed upon by
the late Republican convention in session
at Mauch Chunk, and as an honest journal,
free from ring OF clique domination, and
with an aim single to the interests of the
people, we feel It our duty to rebuke the
open accusation of dishonesty and extra
vagence impugned to the present Board OF
County Commissioners. OF them the
CARBON Advocate has nothing to ex-
pect so our motive need not be mistaken
or misconstrued. The present high tax
rate, TO be short and to the point, is not
due to su extrayagant dispensation OF the
peoples affairs on the part Of the County
Commissioners, but the result of the will
of the people publicly expressed in Grand
Jury recommendations that compelled the
County Commissioners to make the necess-
airy improvements whether they wanted TO
or not. The most expensive OF these
man improvements being the new iron
bridge across the river at Lehighton at
cost of very near or quite S40,00O. IL is
a magnificent structure, and stands as a
model of enterprise to the county. Be
sides the erection of several new bridges
however, the county has had several very
expensive Court trials, among these being
the Mud Run cases, the Stangley murder
trial and the Bennett railroad case, to
geLher with the special amendment election
on June is, in 1889, and the repair of The
interor of the Court House and the public
offices along with minor Improvements
necessary, but too numerous TO mention
On the surface this seems to us to be M
''extravagence on the verge OF dishonesty
The increased expenses Of the county seen
to be but the result of increased improve
ments by which the whole county is NOR
or less benefited. We desire to make n
excuse for anything the Board of Com
missieners may have done, we simply fee
it our duty as a public journal to call al
tention to the fact that the integrity an
honesty of three public citizens has bee
assailed without cause, other than tina
actuated, perhaps, by party policy. II
too late TO recall the words they have bee
rung INTO every SecLlon OF the county an
caused conservative Republicans andDemt
Gratis alike to feel q just and natural in
dignatlon at the insidiOus caluminatio
heaped on three well-known and promneI
citizens Werepeat in conclusion that we d
not want to be understood as championin
any cause, or TO be manufacturing excuse
TO cover the present high tax rate, if thcl
has been any cTookedness or dishonest
let it be sifted and exposed, but until tn
is done, all mud-slinging accusations
whether coming from Democrats or Il
pubicans, will be promptly condemned b
intelligent and honest citizens.

POLITICAL PoT PoUHR1.


6B-The two tickets are in the field. Let
the tight be fair and square one, without
the mud singing adjunct usually brought
into play.
bB-The failure Of the convention TO
nominate a Legislative candidate is gencr-
ally acknowledged by Republicans 10 be a
knock at the entire ticket
GF-J. II. Hlndwerks fourth term for
Register and Recorder is Just the color of
the sere and yellow leaves that patch the
Maueh Chunk Observation-Disclosures .-Lans-

GR-Josiah Williams, Esq, who is one
of the leading Republicans in Carbon
county and at his home in Lansford. hay
ing At one time been County Commissioner
and at present Jury Commissioner, is out
hat-fOOted for the entire Democratic ticket.
II Is expected that his action will be fol
lowed by at least two-thirds OF the Wels d
population Of the county who are said "a
be dissatisfied with the entire Republican
ticket.
EN-Tae most senselessly ridiculous
campaign lie originated in Mauch Chunk
this week when Ii was reported that the
Hon. w. NJ. Rapsher had promised IN,
Irish Catholics that IN return for their sup
port be would use his efforts 10 effect q re-
peal Of the State pullic school opposi
tion. There Is entirely nothing in 70, ant
MF. Rapsher denies the story In toto. The
political seat wants TO take a back seat
Let the contest be on It's merits.

Dangerous $40 Counterfeit Note

A dangerous counterfeit $40 note, pur-
porting 20 be issued by the Gemania
National Bank Of New Orleans, as been
discovered by Chief Brooks, of the Treas
ury Secret Service, to have been in chen
lation for week past. II has no silk
threads running through the texture OF
the paper on which il is printed, and no
attempt has been made in IL TO initiate
that feature. Miles Ogle, of Kentucky,
is the alleged counterfeiter, and Chief
Brooks advises that all notes of The bank
aud denomination named be closely
scanned and compared with known genu-
inc bill.

THE re election of Tom Reed, of Maine,
TO Congress, is an endorsement that leads
to the Presidential nomination i'm 1892.
Party organs can refer TO IL as the result of
bribery and corruption but it does not alter
the fact one iota that Tom Reed is a
mighty popular man in his party.

Railroad AccIdents.-The pay train Of
the B. kP. r. met with an accident Sat-
urdax % L. ..., sss - Some portion Or the
running gear az lie engine gave way. It
was patched up temporarily at Pope ss'reek
with the hope that the broken machine would
be able to pull the pay coach back 70 Balii-
more. bu, when It got back as far as White
Plains It gave way second time. With
little more tinkeung, however, tie train was
finally gotten to Bowie, when another engine
was obtained and It proceeded 90 is route
The night train was delayed 10 consequence
Of the mishap.
On Monday evening an accident also befell
the night train Just below BrandyWine the
eccentric rod Of the engine broke and eursted
a hole in the boiler allowing the steam TO es-
cape. The Conductor obtained hand truck
and went back to Marlboro from whence be
telegrapbed to Wilmington, and after several
hours delay another engine arrived about
ten o'clock, and brought the weary passen-
gers TO their destination. This Is another
case showing the necessity Of a telegraph
down this portion Of the road. Had their
been one several hours of patient waiting BY
the passengers would have been prevented,
and the labor Of running hand truck several
miles avoided. The railroad authorities
ought TO be made to construct such service.
