SHORTENING THE ROAD.
The Cut From Dowingtown to Trenton Will
Soon Be Finished.

The Cut From Dowingtown to Trenton Will
Soon Be Finished.
The competition between the Pennsylvania
and New York Central roads is becoming
keener every day. About week ago the
Pennsylvania issued orders to accept mile
age books on the limited, which is a great
concession. So far the new fast trains have
not affected the business of the flyer, but
the conductors, who are good judges, think
there will soon be falling off
The question of time between New York
and Chicago is quite a factor, and the Penn
sylvania expects to reduce the schedule
about an hour in short time. The work
on the cut across tho country from Dow
ingtown to Trenton is being pushed rapidly.
This will shorten the road 81 miles to New
York. A connection will be run from
Philadelphia to the main line, but
the people of that city can't
help feeling that they are being ignored.
The Quaker City is too big to be avoided,
but the cry now is anything to beat the New
York Central at every point. 1t is sup
posed that after awhile even common passes
will be good on the limited.
Sunday trains are now being run to Cleye-
land over the Cleveland and Pittsburg
road. Since the death of Vice President
Mccullough the management has been more
liberal toward this branch of the Pennsyl-
vania system. A train leaves here at $40
Sunday morning, and a through Pullman
car connecting with the Eastern express at
7:15 in the evening is run from Cleveland,
making the time to New York Is hours.

TWO LADIES' TROUBLES.
They Think They Ought to Have $4,000
for Being Put ofa Train-How They
Were Treated by a Conductor Coming

They Think They Ought to Have $4,000
for Being Put Offa Train-How They
We're Treated by a Conductor Coming
From Alliquippa.
Attorney Charles f. McKenna yesterday
entered suit in Common Pleas Court No. 8
against the Pittsburg and Lake Erie Rail-
road Company on behalf of two ladies of
Allegheny, Mrs. E. P. Malone and Miss
Lizzie Hutehell, who each claim $1,000
damages, $4,000 in all
The allegations are that on the 9th in
slant the plaintiffs bought round-trip tick
cts TO Allequippa Grove, where picnic was
held. All went well enough until at the
return, when the conductor, for some in
formality, objected to the tickets. Whether
they had gotten on some train not devoted
to the picnic business or not is not set
forth, but whatever the cause, they allege
that five miles this side of Aliquippa the
conductor stopped the train and they were
elected, landed in the woods and exposed to
danger from the wild beasts of the forest,
mosquitoes, etc. Not only were they exposed
to danger, but also to the ridicule of a troop
of Italians, supposedly in the employ of the
railway. company, and to crown all
their misery there was a rainstorm
which spoiled their bonnets, and any,
one who knows what this means
can have at least faint idea of the agony
inflicted.
After walking some miles the ladies came
to another station and boarded another
train, the conductor. of which, having more
of the milk of human kindness in his COM
position than the first one, allowed them to
conclude the journey on his train, but this
did not smother ruff1ed tempers nor ruf1ed
features, nor ease the pain of mosquito bites
and the general discomfort suffered.

JUDGES CAN'T AGREE.
PHILADELPHIAs BANK TANGLEs
SEEM BEYOND JUDICIAL KEN.

Wanamaker's Relations to Keystone Ger
tifcate No. 45o-The Bradford Mills In
junction Case Falls but VIII Come Up
Again-A Curious Due Bill.
TsrEc1AL TELEGRAM TO THE DIspArcH.l .
PHILADELPHIA, June PA dispatch
from Trenton to the New York World is as
follows: 80. .,,..
Keystone certificate No. 45o is in the name
of John Wanamaker and is for 2G0 shares
1t was placed with the Mechanics National
Bank of this city along with other securities
as collateral by III. H. Yard. Cashier Stelle
thought it would be wise to have the GER
tificate transferred so that it would be in
the control of the bank. He therefore went
TO Philadelphia and had it transferred to
Sering P. Dunham, President of the bank.
who is also a member of the firm of Scudder
6 Dunham.
In reference to this the following from the
record of Receiver Yardley's testimony be-
fore the committee last Wednesday is
quoted: ''No. 45O, for 200 shares, issued to
Wansmaker on February 10, 1886, was regu-
larly signed by Lucas and Marsh, and the
power of attorney in blank was signed John
Wanamaker' William Rankin, witness.
There was no mark of cancellation on this
certificate.
This means that this certificate was found
by Yardley in the bank, but that it appar-
emily had not been cancelled. 1t certainly
cannot be in Yardley's hands and in Wana-
makers too. Yardley had it with him at
the investigation.
Judge Gordon and President Judge Fin
letter to-day handed down two conflicting
opinions in relation TO the right of the city
to claim the property of the Bradford Mills
and to continue an injunction restraining
John and James Dobson from selling the
Bradford Mills under judgment for s172,-
6S1 confessed by the Bradford Mills to the
Dobsons at the instance of John Bardsley in
order to protect the .Dobsons against liabili-
ties incurred as sureties for Bardsley as
City Treasurer. Judge Gordon stated that
in the motion to dissolve the injunction the
Court was divided in its opinion and that
according to the ordinary rules of practice
the preliminary injunction granted by the
Court without argument on the filing of the
bill would fall The bill, however, was not
dismissed, but would pass through the
Court and be heard according to the usual
routine of such cases, and that the full
Court might make another decision when
the case came up for a final hearing.
A bill was filed to-day in the Court of
Common Pleas No. / in equity in regard to
$50, ,257 58 in the shape of clearing house
Que Dill. AN injunction is asked TO restrain
the Fourth National Bank from paying the
due bill and to restrain ex-rreasurer Bards-
ley, Mrs. Bardsley or Miss Latham from ne
gotiating it and to compel them to transfer
it to the city authorities. 1t is also asked
that Glendenning & Co. be compelled to
explain the transactions which led to Bards-
ley getting the due bill. 1t is a rather COM
plicated affair, but the intimations are that
Bardsley took this means to save money for
himself and family.

CLAsHING WITH THE CHIEF.
Allegheny's Sub-Library Committee De-
MED the Right to Rent a Room.
IL S,,l

AheSnenys SuO-L1Drdry SOnm1Ctco De-
MED the Right to Rent a Room.
A meeting of the Allegheny Sub Commit
tee on Library was called for yesterday
afternoon to consider a proposition of the
congregation of Rev. J. r. j. Milligan, which
seeded from the Allegheny Reformed Pres
byterian Church when the pastor was ex-
PEELED by Synod. The congregation put in
petition for the use of the lecture hall on
Sundays for the purpose of holding services.
The subcommittee did not meet, however,
owing to lack of quorum, and another
meeting has been called for tomorrow
afternoon. There is likely to be some
trouble over the matter before the end is
reached, as Chief Ehlers, of the Department
of Public Works, declares the committee
has no power to let any part of the building
for any purpose whatever, as he has sole
control over it by reason of his Office.
The members of the. committee think
otherwise, however, and state that they will
let the lecture hall or any other part of the
building to anybody they choose. The con-
gregatfon which desires the room will also
hold a meeting tomorrow afternoon and
will probably have something to say in the
matter.

ing to q Climax.
The argument in the Penn Bank case was
continued for short time yesterday morn
ing before Judges Ewing and White. At
torney T. c. Lazear spoke in behalf Of
James Hare and Thomas Severance, two of
the directors. He maintained that they
were clear of any responsibility for the
break 1t had been charged that they had
withdrawn their deposits from the bank and
should be charged with the amounts. In
the case of Mr.. Hare, Mr.. Lazear said, he
had given the bank his individual notes to
cover what he drew out, and had paid the
notes which were in excess of the deposits.
As to Mr. Severance he had drawn out his
money knowing nothing of the complica-
tions or trouble 1t was merely an ordi-
nary business transaction, and he should
not be held for the amount any more than
for what he might have drawn out year or
more before.
When Mr.. Lazear had finished the case
was continued until tomorrow morning at
1870 o'clock, when it will go on to finish.
