Massachusetts il engaged II another

Massachusetts il engaged III another
struggle to get biennial elections. a
resolve providing for constitutional
amendment to that effect passed the
State Senate on Monday. The vote in
its favor was unusually large, but that
Is no indication that il Will passed the
House. Such resolves come before the
Legislature annually but they have
invariably failed to reach vote by the
people. Massachusetts and Rhode
Island are the only States that cling to
annualelectionso f State officers. Moth.
ing has been able 10 induce them to
give up the practice. II is probable,
however, that the increasing cost Of
campaigns in those States may lead
them TO make the change 10 biennial
elections and legislative sessions.

Prominent ofisiAls q The Baltimore
aud Ohio Railroad company deny The
reports which have been circulated
recently that there Is : probability
that the great shops At Mount Clare,
near baltimore. would Be abandoned.
Many Of the most theughtfal among
the employes say that such resalt
is not possible unless there shah b. an
end n railway accidents Or the time
comes when passenger, fright and
other ears % longer get broken.
AT this time, there are employed Il
Mt. Clare about 600 men, This to
tal comprises also the track repairers-
Of whom there arc not more than
twenty-five Or thirty, but whose names
are carried on the pay rolls q The
shops. The rest are distributed
through the various departments, aud
these are ovenun with orders on re-
pair work while the men are working
fun time. Much OF the work that was
formerly done at Piedmont, Keyser.
Cumberland and Matiasbnrg i nos
taken To Mount Clare. and the indiea-
lions are that the proportion to ~
brought there, where the facilities for
speedy execution are much greater
than in the other places, will be larger
in the future. On any system which
has an extensive ramifeation as has
the Baltimore and Ohio, damages Of a
greater or Tess degree 10 cars IS mat
ter Of daily occurrence, and as all cars
which need repairing and which are
not sufficiently damaged to make their
removal to Mount Clare an inpossi
biiity, are sent there, the result Is that
the accumulation Or broken cars II b
very large item.
The old Mount Clare employe and
there are plenty Of men there who
have been in the Baltimore and Ohio
service nearly two score years, signs
when he speaks Of one Of the depart
mcnts which has been practically
abolished, and which in It's day was
one Of the best Of its kind in the world.
This was the bridge department. aud
when ia full operation more than ase
thousand men and boys. and at least
twenty-five thousand persons, got
their living from the great establish
ment. II was iii these shops that file
material was wrought for the magnifi-
cent iron bridge across the Potomac
river at Harper's Ferry, as also those
over the Monocaey, on the main line;
the Monongahela, and at Glenwood,
on the Pittsburg division; all the
bridges on the Philadelphia division,
except the one across the Susquehanna,
which was built By contract; the Blue
bridge, near Baltimore; the Patterson
Creek bridge, near Cumberland, and
hundreds Of others.
AT the present time there are few
men employed on bridge work, but il
is only for the making Of such bolts,
rods, etca as are necessary to keep
the bridges along the line in first class
condition.
It was not many years, nor, indeed,
months, since that almost regiment
Of men was employed at Mount Glare
ID the manufacture Of bolts, nuts
springs, car wheels, etc, thatsare re
quisite for the manufacture Of car;
but most Of these are new purchased
from outside parties, and the force IN
those departments has been reduced
fully three-fourths.

II there is any honor able
scheme calculated to be nefit the
people of Bollinger county that
the Press will not engineer, the
people have yet to see it to be.
come possible. The PAPER is
always for Bollinger county.
j. d. Henley is Bollinger
county gentleman who has long
enjoyed a local reputation as a
pedestrian of extraordinary
powers. His recent walk from
Owensville, Indiana, to this
place has attracted attention
throughout this state, and to
some extent IN other states.
But Mr.. Henley wants a long
distance record for speed that
will pc permanent, and hard to
beat. The Press proposes to
assist him in making that record,
and the people of the Twin Cities

sist the PRESS, as they always
do.
Mr.. Henley proposes to walk
from the Palace Of News 10 Cape
Girardeau and return, a distance
of sixty miles i'll ten hours, with
one hour for rest and dinner in
Cape Girardeau. This ls an
average of six miles an hour for
ten hours. In considering this
feat the people must remember
that the roads from here to
Gravel Hill and return, a dis
>tance Of twenty miles, are very
rough and hilly.
After breakfasting at A.
Mayors New Famous he will
start from the Palace of News
at exactly $50 o'clock am, o II
Monday November 20. He will
arrive at Gravel Hill at S:l0, al
Burfordsville. at $50, and al
jackson at $50, He will reach
Cape Girardeau at 1l:30. He
will take dinner at the Hotel
Scott as the guest of the PRESS

The people are invited to assem-
BILE at the various points along
the route, and give him a rous
,sng welcome, as we'll as to se
