Whether there is to be a great in
dustrial crisis on the first of May is
now agitating the minds of many. If
there should be, the results may be
most disastrous, the outcome no one
can foretell.
The long talked Of change in the
Packerton yard is about completed;
namely, an additional track independ-
ent of the main track for the sole use
of the scale pusher. The work has
been under the direction of Foreman

man. The shifting of coal is greatly
facilitated.

highly esteemed by all who knew him.

%It is very important for you women
who are contemplating marriage with
veteran for pension purpose to note
that law has been passed on that sub

act, marriages contracted after last
June do not entitle the widows thereof
to draw pension. This is rather rough
on the old soldiers, whose chance OF
getting a young woman are largely re-
duced, but it will save our posterity
several generations hence from such a
pension roll as we are carrying, on
which are the names of twenty three
Revolutionary widows, over one hund.

Rockdale, Tuesday evening, a number
of cars were smashed and Henry
Wisler, middle brakeman, aged about
%, living in Franklin township, was so
badly injured that he died before medi-
cal assistance could reach him. The
stories relative to the cause of the
accident differ in many particulars,
though the one that is said to be true
is something like this: There was a
negro on board the the train, occupy
ing car with a horse, shipped from
Buffalo, N. Y, to Philadelphia. When
near Rockdale he heard a rattling
noise under the car and pushed open
the door to see what was the matter
when the horse broke loose and
bounded through the door; north

How Thev Beat Their Backer,.

A sporting man conversant with the
ins and outs of the Chisnel-Engleman
race at Lehighton, says no money was
staked by the principals or their back
ers. He says that when the contract
for the race was signed each side staked
800. Afterwards an agreement was
made between Engleman and the men
who had raised his hundred dollars on
the one side and the Chisnel men on
the other side that Engieman should
allow Chisnel to win. The stake holder
was to return to each one his money
This was done and the Chisnel people
paid Engleman 500, and the hackers
depended on what they could gain in
bets for their share of the sale.-Hazle
