NEW CASTLE. Oct. 1.-The conductors
and other passenger trainmen Of the
Delaware division and of the p, W. Il
B. road win appear on Monday morning
with their old blue caps as a head cover
ing instead of the snow-white duck caps
which have been features on the passen.
ger trains all summer Every trainman
win make the change about the same
time and not semblance Of a white
duck cap win be seen on Monday.
These changes are made at two regular
times os the year-the 1st of May and
about the ist Of October in obedience to a
regular order issued ifrom headquarters,
aud there is a fine for any violation cf
this command, so that every man must
watch for that date and that order. II
will be Just as important on Monday that
the train hands should lay aside those
white caps and don the blue as it is that
shey should report for duty
1t is said that both Superintendent
Hutchinson and Holiday are very par
ticular about the appearance of their
trainmen and their uniforms must not
only be kept spotless, but they must wear
white collars and shined shoes. What
worries the men most, however, is being
compelled to wear the regulation uniform
through the hottest summer weather
Even though the mercury crawls up in
the nineties and fingers there, these rapid
transit men must wear their full uni
form and wear it buttoned up TO the
collar. Some time ago the conductors
and brakemen petitioned the superin-
tendents for the privilege of wearing
negligee shirts and no coats through the
hottest weather, but this petition was
not granted.
It is said Of one very fat baggage
that he perspired so in his full uniform
that he was compelled TO unbutton his
coat in order 10 breathe, as he said. His
superintendent saw him with his uniform
thus torn open and gave him two days.

Various newspapers of the Pacific

Various newspapers of the Pacific
 coast are industriously engaged just
 now in knocking the Santa Fe rail
 road system into smithereens by
 producing a serious case of rupture
 in its abdominal parts. The story
 first started in Denver, and is to the
 effect that c. P. Huntington and
 Jay Gould are about to buy up the
 Atlantic & Pacific road, and leave
 the great Santa Fe system with a
 monster line of road in the middle
 of the continent, and a small piece
 on the Pacific coast, to wiggle along
 without any umbilical cord in
 the center to connect them together
 This would indeed be sad fate for this great road to meet with, but
 we Dther suspect that such con- tingency is very remote. We do not happen to be on the inside in regard to the management of the Santa Fe, but we do know that the present management has transacted its busi- ness in such way as to be entitled to the credit of knowing just what they are doing. The above ominous report and gloomy foreboding of the future of the road, coming right on the heels of the announcement that President Manvel has just con- pleted arrangements to get his line into San Francisco, and that a gen eral reorganization of its financial affairs had been effected, it looks significant and as though the rumor had been started for special purpose. The Santa Fe people are credited with holding a of the stock of the Atlantic md Pacific company. fsuch is the 'ase and if they should deliberatly | urn it over to Messrs. Huntington md Gould, there is little doubt but | he latter would use it to their own 'dvantage, and as against the inter 'sts of the Santa Fe company. But loes any one suppose that the latter ompany will do anything so suici- lali That they will dispose of the antge ground already possessed in egard to trans-continent al traffic 'hile seeking to gain otheri The oURNAL-MNER has not experienced ny alarm yet on the question, and Till camly await results.
