RAILHoAD NOTES.

20 the Railroad Boys
/ The Reading railroad will ia all
likelihood put on fast through trains
from Scranton to Philadelphia when
its new terminal station in the latter
place is completed At present it takes
about six hours to get to Philadelphia
from Scranton. Il is proposed to cut
this time down considerably by having
the new trains stop only at Wilkes
Barre, Mauch Chunk, Allentown and
Bethlehem.
I The Buffalo extension of the Le-
high Valley railroad, from Sayre to
Buffalo, a distance of 2S3 miles, has
been practically completed and formal
possession will be taken and the oper-
alton of the road begun between now
and September l.
The Lehigh Valley Railroad Com
pany have provided Sunday operator
for the station at Glen Onoko George
Enbody the regular operator will hll
the position on Sunday.
Some idea of the extent of the
Philadelphia & Readings freight bust
ness can be obtained from the last re
port of the Northeastern Car Service
Association. 1t is for July and shows
that 5346 car loads of freight we're
handled at Bethlehem. This does not
include merchandise, transfer, or
through freight, but simply what was
received in car load lots. II is again
as much as was handled at Allentown
and over two thirds more than as Eas-
ton. Allentown received during that
month 247O cars and Easton 3OO7 cars.
Scranton, the largest city in the dis
trict, handled only 1851 cars.
I The Reading is enjoying a prodi-
gious through freight traffic from the
west. From midnight until noon Mon
day 250 cars of grain passed Bethle
hem. The majority contained wheat,
but there we're also vast quantities Of
corn, malt, and rye. It is mostly for
export. Each car contained COO bush
els of grain for half day. This traffic
does not exceed the daily quota. For
the past several weeks about 100000
bushel of grain have been shipped
daily over the Lehigh Valley from
Buffalo to Jersey City.
tThe Reading company is gradually
doing away with ashes and coal dirt as
ballast, especially on the main line
The tracks are being raised from four
to seven inches, and stone ballast is be
ing used. 1t was found that the heavy
locomotives were too hard ON the
tracks where ashes and coal dirt were
used and more substantial ballast was
found necessary.
tThe p, & r. freight departments
are being supplied with new seals. 1t
is new device and stamps the name of
the station on one side and the initials
of the p. & r. on the other.
tThe Car and Car Wheel Works at
Fullerton are rapidly closing up their
contract with the Lehigh Valley Rail
road for 20OO box cars started upon
last May. Less than 200 remain to be
completed the hands in employ turn.
ing them out complete at the rate of
about lS per day. The Works have no
other large contract in prospect, and
it is likely that they will have to come
to stand-still in the near future. The
establishment is of vastness beyond
any in the Valley, having a capacity of
finishing up complete 14O to $50 box
cars per week, of coal cars treble
that number.

ANARoHIsM is just now getting avery
black eye. 1t finds no favor with any
but its misguided and mischievous dis
ciples, and now that its pernicious ten
denotes have again been so conspicu-
ously displayed, and facts in regard to
the intentions of Herr Most's disciples
ascertained, the investigation should
be pushed to the verge of extremes in
order to get at the foundation of the
Anarchist organization, for it is very
clear that there is an organization and
that its object is the overturning of
existing government. Let the probe
be applied until the real depth of the
foul ulcer is ascertained.-Ashland

BURGESS BEN KUNTZ deliberately in
suited the members of the town coun-
eii this week by issuing an order to
Chief of Police Raworth to be in at
tendance at the meeting Of council on
Wednesday evening TO perserve order,
There was no necessity for this, the
members of council are not set of
COW boys fresh from the wild and
woody west, but are gentleman OF IN
tslligenee and in possession Of a full
share Of practical common sense. The
csuncilmen may be in division on
some questions, but as we look at it,
that is none of the Burgess business
He is simply elected TO preside over
the meetings of this body as president
and to do as he is instructed TO do by
this body. When he over-steps this,
be usurps his power and should be sat
down upon. People not familiar with
the circumstances and condition Of
affairs will imagine, when it is learned
that an officer Of the law must be called
to the council meeting, that the coun,
ciimen are a set of rowdies and roughs,
when the fact is just the contrary.
Our advice, and it is friendly, would be
that Burgess Kuntz go slow, he might
put both feet in it-he has one foot in
1t now.

You can now efectually CURE,
By buying the Old Elliptic Spring style,
From Kreidler's nice pile,
And you'll no longer these evils ENDURE.

AN EXCHANGE thus defines a moss
back: A mossback, gentle reader, is a
cross between the fifth century and
the fifteenth. He is found in fossilized
form in nearly every city in the United
States and still lives. He raises his
rents, detests boom, loves TO have
other people pay taxes, hates to have a
new enterprise, despises anything that
Smacks of progress, and won't help a
newspaper boom its own town. There
are several varieties of mossbacks, but
none of much use to town. They are
drones to hive of bees, and like the
industrious bee the live business men
should avoid these drones and patron
iEe those who are an advantage to the
place they reside in.

The Mikado Colbert & Sullivan's cele-
brated opera), drew full houses on Tues
day and Wednesday evenings, as predict
ed. There will be no doubt about the
success at North Adams this evening
In both places the house was largely
sold in advance and this, of itself, it
seems to us must be somewhat inspir-
ing. Our readers are familiar with this
company, composed of home talent, as
sisted by some of their friends from
Troy and CohOes, n. Y, and the inimita-
BILE Whitney of North Adams. He had
appeared last year in 'The Chimes of
Normandy" This was, also true of Mr..
Sweet and Miss Jessie May Miller. Mr..
Impet's introduction to our people dates
back to the choral union times, when he
made decided impression and has been
favorite ever since. Our home people
we do not designate in this manner as
they stand somewhat in the lights of
hosts of the occasion. We are quite
sure, from what people say, that Mr..
Mussey and Miss Nan Miller will be as
cordially received on some future occas-
ion as they were with their associates on
these evenings. The company, includ-
ing the chOruses, were exceptionally
well balanced, the acting was superb,
fact that was made due note of by the
large audiences each evening.
Where all did so well it would seem in
vidiOus to select parts for special com
ment. Good judges of music have said
of the performance that the excellence
of the rendering was phenomenal in
company organized as this one was,
principally for drill, incidentally for the
amount of probable proceeds-more for
fun than than profit. AS for ourselves
the newspaper verdict while appre ciat-
ing what professional critics might say,
we write that it only proves true what
the BANNER has often declared that our
own musicians are just as capable as
those of any other town. Rutland with
her May festivals, local choruses assisted
by professional talent, may become
wider noted, yet, here in Mikado, is
demonstration tlTot our own people are
just as capable. And more so, for our
people took and maintained difficult
roles with acceptance, compared with
the professionals with whom they were
associated
From the pianist, Mrs. Keeseman,
whose exquisite acCOmpanimentsd drew so
much praise from the Out-of-town vocal
lists, to the singer taking the smallest

he married daughter of Judge Knight
of North Hero. Prior to the days of
moving machines Mr.. Kellogg was as
ISOLATED with Walter A. Wood, and it
was at his home at st. Adams Bay that
Wood invented his fist machine, an
nouncing the fact at the breakfast table
that it came to him in a dream. Four
weeks later he sent Mr.. Kellogg a model
to revolutiOnize the method of cutting
hay the world over. Quick to recognize
merit in anything Mr.. Kellogg endorsed
the new machine and became general
agent for the Walter A. Wood Company.
In the spring of 1851 he went to San Fran
cisco with shipload, where he disposed
of all of them in just four weeks.
Shortly after this, kidney trouble de-
veloped and he was obliged to give up
travelling, so he bought farm and set
tied down. His course is not unlike
that of many Others, except that he was
able to meet sorrows and adversely with
more than ordinary courage and was al
ways ready with helping hand and a
cheerful word for those less fortunate
than himself. He was a man of deep
sympathies, and recognized all men as
brothers. For % years there has scarce
ly been a death in his neighborhOod at
which he was not present as nurse, as
friend, as comforter He is survived by
his wife, and two children by his first

trade, and situated so near the beauti-
fully laid out grounds of our modern
built and furnished depot,is well patron

$150,000 capital, furnishes accommoda-

holds out inducements, with others Of

and further prosperity.
