Last week we addressed superin-
tendent Moss OF the S. e. l.. road
for free transportation of wheat for
Russia over his line from the sen
der to the mills where it is to be
ground. The following is his reply,
which, though unsatisfactory so far
as our request is concerned, still
shows that he is in sympathy with
the movement and would most glad
ly grant the privilege were it in his
power to do so:
LEwIsTowN, Jan. 90, 1892.
| Il. II. HARTER Referring to your
favor of the Goth instant, would
state, that there are many questions
involved III the matter of furnishing
free transportation for the object
you desire, although We appreciate
the motive which influenced you in
the worthy undertaking we can ut
this time hardly cooperate with you
in the matter. Although later some
thing may be done, as the entire
Pennsylvania System may be called
upon to do something in the matter.
Yours truly,
A. w. Moss, Sup't.
| Old Abe Lacy. the prince of
tramps, has Mt last found a home
The authorities OF Juniata county
have removed him to the Insane Asy-
lum at Harrisburg. Abe's history is

disappointment in love Doubtful,
very doubtful. Did Abe ever love
anybody well enough to break his
heart ? Hardly. His notoriety was
acquired upon the priciple OF being
positively good for nothing known
TO man or beast, and the people
who were the sufferers from his
deyilment in years gone by will be
only too glad to learn that he will
never annoy them again. Shake
