\ +phe new schedule going in effect on
Athe Valley next Sunday will give this
Town four or five more passenger trains.
tOscar Waterbor, of town, will be a
conductor on second No. Z, on Lehigh
Valley after this week, and Nicholas
and Crietz will brake on the same train.
tThere will be a complete change in
the running arrangement of coal.
freight and passenger trains on the
Valley commencing with Sunday com
ing.
Heretofore persons who wrecked a
train by which any persons were killed
could only be tried for manslaughter.
The legislature has passed a law
making it murder in the first degree.
This is indeed a sensible move. If the
train wrecker does not deserve hanging
no one does.
There are carried In one year on the
railroads of the United States $4,000
600 tons of freight, and 472.OOOOO0
passengers. Last year 80 passengers
were killed, and 2, LAG injured. Besides
this, there we're 1872 employees killed
and 20,029 injured. The total stock
and bonds of the railways of the United
States are estimated at 81 S7,366,OOOOOO.
tThe Pardee Car and Machine Works
at Watsontown is now turning out the
first lot of cars of the Lehigh Valley
contract, and they are the finest in the
land. Everything connected with the
cars is of the very best; each car is
equipped with automatic couplers and
air brakes, and every part of the work
is under supervision of one Of the com
pany's expert inspectors.
1The splendid financial credit of the
Lehigh Valley Railroad Company has
been demonstrated again by the large
subscriptions K the S1,O0O,O00 of Az
per cent. bonds of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company, of New York The
subscription books were opened on
Tuesday, yet at the close of business il
was generally understood the entire
amount had been quite taken. In all
probability the loan will be largely
oversubcribed.
TOT the determination of the railroad
company to ignore the decision of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
the Wilkesbarre Record says: ut is. ol
course, impossible for the Lehigh VALLEY
Railroad Company to reconcile the in
consistency of its transportation rate,
when it carries corn worth 70 cents (
