WILL RUN SUNDAY TRAINS.
The Cleveland & Pittsburg Railroad Making
a New Departure.

A new schedule for the Cleveland and
Pittsburg Railroad is being prepared, and
will in all probability go into effect on the
2Sth. One of the most notable changes will
be the adding of two Sunday trains, one
each way, between Cleveland and Pittsburg
something never before known in the his
tory Of the road. They Will be fully
equipped and make the run in four hours.
During the life of J. \. Mccullough he

cessity for them, and have concluded to try
them during the summer. Fast time can be
made, as no other trains will run on that
day, thus obviating the delays caused by
taking sidings, waiting orders, etc.

HUNTING IN AUSTRALIA.

Sportsmen Run Risk of Being Eaten Up by
Flies and Ants.
One of the great drawbacks to hunting life
in Australia, says Pugitis and Slavin, in a
recent newspaper article, are the flies.
You have to wear veil or you will be
eaten up with the nasty insects. They are
like the ordinary house fly, though there is
one poisonous variety which raises bad
swelling.
The ants, which are quite as numerous,
are just as bad; when they find no one to
sting they indulge in regular "set-tos"
among themselves, fighting with great des-
peration, like game cocks

TAKING OUT WHALEB0NE.
The Big Blades Are Cut Loose From the
Gums With Dull Spades.

Gums With Dull Spades.
Boston Herald.1
The greatest weight of whalebone ever
taken from one whale was 4,4O0 pounds.
The whale was taken by the bark Antelope,
Captain George Taber, in 1868, and the bone
was wonder. Whales are generally said
to yield eight to ten pounds of bone for
every barrel of oil, but there is no certainty
in this calculation. The whale taken by
Captain Taber only yielded 14O barrels, for
he was very lean and sick.
The whalebone blades are taken out by
cutting through the gum around the root
with whalemen's spades. Dull ones are
used preferably, in order not to cut or
scratch the face of the plate. The gum is
white, though tough, and cuts like curd
By cutting down from six to eight inches
the plate can be torn from the gristle, or
vacular formation, which holds it, entering
the end of the plate as thin strip for few
inches.

walter L. MAINS shows.

The Geneva, o., Times speaks as
follows OF Walter L. Mains Shows
which exhibit here in Passaic on We'd
nesday, Sept 80.
Nv. l.. Mains all new railroad shows
opened the season of 'oI very successfully
at this place, Saturday last, showing to
over five thousand people. The
weather was perfect and every thing
conspired to make the opening the most
successful in Mr.. Mains experience as a
Snowman.
The parade in the morning was a
triumph. With new costumes, new
wagons, new cages for animals, new
trappings, and new attractions, and
with long line of the best horses to be
seen in any show or any where, the
parade could not fail to be a success; and
it was witnessed by crowds of people all
along the line. 1t is needless for US to
attempt to describe the exhibition under
the huge canvas. 1t was varied
programme of entertainment and anuse-
ment that held the audience for nearly
three hours. The performers are all
artists in their respective lines, and
while some things were old to Geneva
people, many things were new. Among
the new features we mention the pas
times and games of the Roman Hippo
drome. the flying trapeze acts; Billy the
only equine animal on earth that throws
complete somersault'; the new and
startling contortion acts and tumbling,
the driving of 81 horses by one man,
new tricks of the educated horses, dogs
and goats. The show has been consid-
orally enlarged and improved and we
predict for it very successful season.
The people whom Mr.. Main has
gathered about him are not only experts
and artists in their respective lines and
always loyal to their chiefs, but they are
ladies and gentlemen at all times and do
not fail to command the respect and
good will of those with whom they

The play of the season.

The Soudan" that is now playing at
the Academy of Music, New York. has
poved to be one of the greatest successes
of the season. the largest and handsomest
theatre is crowded at every performance
and on many occasions standing room
could not be had at any price, Nightly
the principals are repeatedly called be-
fore the curtain and the applause that
greets each number of the large COM
pany is deafening. The play abounds in
beautiful and costly scenery. The two
principal scenes, the return of the troops
through the famous Trafalgar Square of
London and the realistic battle between
the British soldiers and Arabs in the Des-
ert City, are two of the largest and hand
soonest scenes eyer placed on any stage in
the country; fully 500 people take part
in each, besids bands, Scottish pipers,
drum corps, horses, etc.
The story is strong and full of action,
taking its. hearers from domestic scenes in
England to the burning sands of the
Great desert. through the Soudan war,
and back again to England. The prin-
cipal role. Capt. Temple, is played by
Louis James. The company is large
one, and long run is looked for.

Railroad Notes.

To prevent accidents in the fu-
ture at railroad grade crossings
from inattention to duty on the
part of fagmen by chatting with
outsiders, when they ought to be
watching for trains to close the
gates, the Erie Railroad are going
to put up two-story towers at each
crossing, where the gate tender
will be up out of the way from
the public and their interference
with him. The towers will be
connected with a new style of
gate that will be operated by
pneumatics, and will be complete
ly under the control of the gate
man, without physical exertion,
combining ease and immediate
operation.
A freight train was backed
through the brick wall of the
Pennsylvania Railroad depot at
Market Street, Newark, last Tues
day. 1t carried away the bumper
at the end of the track and threw
about thousand bricks out on
the sidewalk. A brakeman was
injured.

The Council Meeting.

At the meeting of the Council
last Monday night communica-
ton was received from the Mayor
stating that the resignation of
Police Justice Morrell had been
received by him, and that he had
appointed Lawyer Ed. c. Moore
as his successor. His nomination
was confirmed by the Council. A
great deal of routine business was
transacted in a short time al
though only ten members were
present. The Council agreed to
buy the Kevitt property, house
and IL acres for $1,000. This
property will be used as poor
farm. 1t is far enough away from
the city to suit everyone con-
cerned.
Mr.. Scott moved to cut off all
who are now securing supplies
from the poormaster. The law,
he said. required the poormaster
to make application to the police
justice for permission to grant aid,
and the police justice was requir
ed to make a rigid investigation
into the circumstances of each case
before approving any such
application. The law also
requires the poormaster to keep a
book or roll of the names of all
who receive aid and to exhibit such
book to the Council. AS this is
not done in Passaic, Mr.. Scott
pressed his motion to squeeze the
string on the public purse, and not
give anything until the legal
applications made. In no other
way could the Council ascertain
just who or how many were re-
ceiving aid. The motion was
adopted.
Mr.. Scott then got motion
through to advertise for proposals
for suppling provisions for the
poor of the city for one year and
also to solicit proposals for bury
ing the dead.
Gen. Spencer moved to place
the poorhouse and farm in the
hands of the Poor Committee to
whom the poormaster must
report, also that the poor be re
moved from the den in Dundee to
the farm as soon as possible, all OF
which was adopted. The contract
for making new assessment maps
of the entire city was given to
Wise & Watson. The committee
to whom the bids were referred at
the last meeting reported in favor
of this firm. The job will cost
over $1,000. On motion OF MIR
Clark, the Third Ward map is to
be made first.

TYPHOID FEVER.
BY E. MATHER, NJ. D., OF PATERSON.


The bacillus of typhoid fever during
its conception and career in the body de-
velops ptomaines, which give rise to the
symptoms of cerebal Irritation and pro-
found prostration.
The entire body of the infected is but
a living germinal mass, although the
glands of the intestines are literally the
focus of evolution.
The essential elements of sound treat
ment are to maintain vital force. annlhl-
late the bacillus and neutrallze the
ptomaines. :,
Every agency known to science should
be utilized-pure air, good ventilation,
proper diet, daily bathing, careful nurs-
ing, even inhalations of germicides are
of utility. The mouth, the hot-bed of dis
ease germs, Should be washed out sew
eral times day with a solution OF borax
or sulphur water.
The main dependence in treatment is
to be placed upon intestinal bacterides,
a very large number of which are avail
able-favorable mention might be made
of salicylate sodium in tengrain doses
every two hours; the solution of bisulp-
hide of carbon; thynnol; beta-naphtha
line; salo the iodinecorbolic acid for
mula; sulphurous acid, sulphur Water;
siegesbeckie; some one which meets the
views of the physician; each one lowers
temperature, slows the hearts action by
sterilizing the germ, the factor OF the
fever, and neutralizing its ptomaine.
This fever is characterized by abun-
dant, foul-smelling discharges, OF the
color of peasoup. They contain large
quantities of bile pigmenl. The reaction
of the faces are alkaline.

The Katy-Dids' Symphony.

The nightly symphonies of the
Katy-did are now in full progress.
Their monotonous refrain has a
melancholy effect upon the average
listener with sensitive tendencies.
In view of the supposition that
some of the performers play "Katy-
didn't" instead of "Katy-did," it
seems barely possible that the
scientists may be mistaken in
ascribing a music monopoly to the
male members of the tribe, who it
is averred make the soul-stirring
twilight music with the membranes
of their wings.

that a second section was following five
minutes later The work train again
pulled out on the main track, and the
men were engaged in throwing OF dirt
when the second section struck the work

men and laborers who were not injured began
at once to assist those imprisoned In tne ee-
bris. The head of an Italian was found twenty
feet away from the body. Engineer 1onh

A LONDON BANK ROBBED.
From $3.50. 900 to S1,25O,O0o Said
to Have Been Taker.


An important bank robbery has taken
place in London, England. The institution
that has suffered is the London and West
minister Bank, Limited, Al Lathbury, E. c.,
an important establishment having over
fifteen branch houses in that city.
The money stolen consisted of a large par
eel of bills remitted from the country banks.
The thief or thieves gained access to an
apartment near the main entrance to the
bank. This apartment was easy of access
from the street.
1t is currently reported that the amount
stolen is not less than S750, 000 and it may
amount to as much as 81, ,250, 0o0
Notice of the robbery has been sent to the
police centres throughout the British Isles
and on the Continent, and the sailing or
every passenger vessel is being
watched Notice of the robbery
has also been sent to all the banks upon
which the bills were drawn, but the polics
theory is that no attempt will be made to
change the bills in that country, but that tna
thieves will have recourse to the Continent,
where the presence of SO many wealthy
travellers from England and the Unised
States makes such transactions easier than
in that country.
