A Much Abused Passenger Man
General Rains-Other Dots.
IF remain much longer in the
passenger business remarked well
known passenger agent of well
known Texas railroad, az expect to
lose all opportunity of beholding the
pearly gates of the heavenly city, on
account of the vindictive state of mind
into which am frequently thrown by
the opportunities OF the free pass and
half rate nuisances. The greater part
of these disturbers of my peace are
preachers, who style themselves the
meek and lowly followers of Jesus,
but when they have dealings with
my office they are anything but meek
and lowly. Every mail brings in ap-
plication for reduced rates to little
campmeetiDg along the line and if I
make the rate, and If it is not low
enough ia their estimation I am
pretty sure to hear from them. The

Death of an Old War Horse,

A recent number of the Wellsboro
Agitator says: Last Sunday morn
ing Gen. r. G. CoX's old war horse,
"Gen. Banks died from complica-
ton of disorders. Banks" was a
thoroughbred Virginia horse, and he
was remarkably large and handsome.
1t was on the morning of the
Goth of March, 1885, that General
Cox, then Colonel of the 207th
Regiment, was called out of his tent
in front of etersburg, Va, and found
the horse tied to a post, all ready to
mount, with a fine saddle, bride and
holsters. The whole equipment was
the gift of the regiment and cost the
boys 1858, Banks" having been pur-
chased from another officer who had
ridden him since the war opened.
Capt. r. T. Wood, in his presentation
speech, said that 1000 brave men,
ready to do and dare at the lannon's
mouth, had united in a token of APP
probation for their commanding
officer. His closing words Were:
"Allow me, Colonel, to present to
you this beautiful steed, caparisoned
for the field. May he bear you nobly
in the fight and bring you forth UNI
scathed and victorious, that when
smiling peace returns 10 bless the
land you may return to the bosom of
your family, honored and respected
by grateful people," Gen. Cox res
pended feelingly in accepting the
present from his "boys." Soon after
ward the rebels began Smelling the
camp.
We doubt if there is another horse
living in the United States with re-
cord equal to that of "Gen. Banks"
The body of the faithful old war
horse has been buried on Gen. CoX's
premises, in this borough.

Whereas, The Conger bill that has

will destroy a vast trade amount
ing to millions of dollars and

The Extra Session.

WASHINGTON, D. c., September 10.
1t is stated tonight on the authority
of a republican senator that it is un-
derstood between President Harrison
and the leaders in the senate and
house that an extra session of con-
gress will be called to meet about No.
vember 10. 1t Is not alone the force
bill that is regarded as important.
There are several other party meas
ures, including areapportionment bill,
that the republicans feel they must
pass during this congress. Several
of the important bills passed ny the
house will be left Enacted upon at
this session under an agreement that
they will be enacted into laws before
the 4th Of March next. 1t is the gen.
eral opinion in both houses that this
session will certainly not outlive the
present month.

Test of Steel Plates.

WASHINGTON, D. c., September 10.
The competition steel plate tests
will take place shortly after the 18th
inst. The setting up of the targets is
progressing, but a slight hitch has
occurred over the kind of gun to be
used. Some of the parties interested
favor an S-inch and others a 6-inch
gun. A special 6.inch gun was
made for these tests and will prob
ably be used, but the opposition TO it
serves to delay the final designation
of the time for the trial. 1t is thirty
five calIores in length, being two feet
and six Inches longer than the stand
ard six-inch gun, and is expected to
give a higher initial velocity than
either the eight-inch or the six-inch
standard gun.
The coming test will be an event in
naval circles. 1t will not be open to
the general public, but a number of
officers of the army and navy, and
probably the diplomatic corps and
experts IN ordnance matters, will be
in attendance. The board ordered TO
conduct the test, of which Rear Ad-
miral Kimberly is president, will be
directed to assemble at Annapolis
about the 18th inst.

Struck liz Rich.

PITTSBURGH, September l0.-Two
of the largest natural gas wells ever
developed in this district struck the
land within the past twenty-four
hours. One of the wells is near Belle
vernon, and is owned by the Phila-
delphia company. The other is the
property of the Bridgewater Gas COM
pany, and is in the Wildwood field.
When the wells were brought in they
blew out the castings. 1t is estimated
that both are good for 500 pounds
rock pressure. The gas from these
wells would be sufficient ty run half
the mills in the city, and their dis
cOvery pretty thoroughly explodes
the stories that the gas is giving out.

In Bond Like Freight.

MONTREAL, September, 10.-Thir-
teen Cinnamon passed through this
city today in bond on their way TO
Yokohama via Vancouver. They
came from New York and are going
home for holiday, having made con-
siderable money in the tea and laun-
dry business. One of the Cinnamon,
who could speak English, said in
forcible language that China would
soon retaliate on Englishmen and
Americans by preventing them from
entering China except under certain
conditions. The Cinnamon felt very
angry at being conveyed in bond like
freight.
