Rednced saIaries verv probabIe.

At the time of the strike of the engineers
on the elevated railroad in New York had
a part In bringing the representatives OF
the engineers and the late Cyrus W. Field,
a director in the elevated company, to a
meeting that resulted in a quick under
standing between the conflicting interests
and an ending of the strike. Mr.. Field was
so pleased with the fairness of the commit
tee representing the engineers with whom
he had to deal that he invited them at once
to dine with him at DelmOnico's, an invita-
tion which their representatives declined
for them, fearing that its acceptance might
be misunderstood.
Mr.. Field, however, continued to feel that
be wished to extend some social courtesy to
the employees Of the elevated road, and at
a later date, when he was all powerful in
that corporation, he issued formal invita-
tion to employees to a reception at his
house. To a large number the initials ''R
S. V. P" on the lower corner Of the invita-
tion were a great mystery, and as thestory
goes the invited compared notes and sought
an explanation of them. At last one bright
young man announced that he had discov-
cred what they meant, and he explained TO
the others that "R. S. V. p" stood for Re
duced salaries very probable. William o.

"YoU keep your promise Jack aud I'll
keep mine" is the title of a new song
that has been written by N 7. Raughley,
of this town, which has been set to
music aud will shArtly be published by
one of the large publishing houses OF
Philadelphia, four Of which have already
made hattering offers for it but Mr..
Raughley has not yet concluded which
one to accept We give the wording in
advance;
She sailed away on a summer day,
The wind blew fresh and fair;
Her eyer were blue, so sweet and true,
Aud golden was her hair
watched the ship receding,
Until far out at sea,
Then family could hear these words
Come ringing back to me.
Do not forget me, think off as thine,
You keep your promise Jack and I'll
keep mine,
Do not forget me think of me as thine,
You keep your promise Jack and I'll
keep mine.
She promised she'd return to me,
Will she her promise keep
Twas hard to see her sail away
Across the briny deep.
We parted here upon the shore,
Ny heart was filed with pain,
Though now Pm sad will be glad
When she returns again.
Do not forget me, think ofme as thine,
etc.
Years had passed aud I'd been sad,
But the ship had made her run;
While standing on the shore one day 1
heard a signal gun;
It was the ship, the same proud ship
That bore my love away,
Aud as she drew in near the shore
These words heard her say:
Do not forget me Jack, think of me as
thine. etc.

HARRY GRIER went to Slaughter Beach
on Friday last and took with him his
neice, Miss Mary Radcliff. There was
nothing unusual about this but something
out of the general run did occur before
the drive was completed. Across the
causeway he had been racing with two
young men in another carriage and he
seemed determined to get ahead of them.
He could not trot by them so he caused
his horse TO run like deer. AS he turn
ed the turn" a hundred yards away from
the stables every spoke in one hub drew
out of its place and went rolling along at
rapid pace The occupants were thrown
about twenty feet and the carriage twice
turned completely over. Fortunately,
almost miraculously, Miss Radcliff escap-
ed with but great fright She did not
receive a scratch. Mr.. Grier had his head
slightly cut. The carriage was broken
almost to pieces, and the horse, after he
was loosened and rescued from very
disagreeable position, was found not to be
injured at ali. It was a fortunate thing
for all concerned that there was anything
alive and moving left after the smashuP.
The one wheel has disappeared and not
vet found. It is supposed to have run
hundred yards distance and found rest
ing place in the frog pond"
