A conductor on one Of the Philadelphia

ailment 1t is known to medical science as
cellular opesiacitis or bell arm. The habit

movement of the arm toward his own bell
strap has developed his strange ailment. His
arm now acts more quickly than his brain
To such an extent has this involuntary action
gone that whenever he hears a bell of any
kind his arm at once shoots upward toward
an imaginary bell cord. Thii may be warn.

With the commencement of the school
term, the scholars attending the Shenandoah
schools will be supplied, in accordance with
the law passed al the recent session of the
Legislature, with free text books State
superintendent N. G. Schaefler says the free
text book law goes into effect at once He
has rendered a decision that it is the duty If
the directors to make provision for furnish
ing and equipping the schools with the text
books and supplies generally needed by
pupils for daily use in the schools, such as
slate pencils paper pens, ink, tablets, ETC.;
that, while it is no doubt wise to urge pupils
to use the book in their possession for the
purpose of lessening the immediate outlay of
money, they cannot be compelled to use their
own books, and that in all the required
branches of study books are to be provided
by the directors, and for all grades of the
public schools including the High school.

tiOn of the number OF
cars during certain hours of the day and
night, is questioned by many who have given
the matter their attention
The new rule went into effect on Monday
last and in consequence of it sixteen men.
eight conductors and eight motor men were
laid off. Six of the men worked on the
Shenandoah and GirardvilIe branch and were
James and John Leckie, John Carey, Martin
Dixon, Thomas Waters and Thomas Tracey.
The other suspended men were employed on
the Mahanoy City and Locust Dale branch.
The suspensions were made to allow a test
of the fifteen hour working scale, that is to
say all the motor men aud conductors retained
are required to work fifteen hours day.
As the company pays its men Is cents an
hour the increase of hours makes the scale of
wages 50 % per day for each man, but as each
one is given two days off out of every seven.
the actual gain for those retained is only five
hours, or 70 cents, in each week. The com
pa0y, on the other hand saves $3.50 by the
duction of the force
1t is not likely that the new system will be
a successful one. 1t is feared the public will
be greatly incOnvenienced by it and the COM
pany will be obliged to go back to the old
system or devise some other. Under the one

is quite evident that the changes will badly

In speaking of officers fees reminds me Of
a decision recently rendered by Judge Reeder,
Of Easton, in reference to the new fee bill
passed by the Legislature. The Judge de
cides that all officers elected previous to the
enactment OF the new fee bill, including
justices anu cOnstables, cannot receive fees in
accordance with the new law. The Consti-
tuition OF this state plain,y says: NO law
shall extend the term OF any public officer, or
increase or dim nish his salary or emolu
ments." According to the above ruling only
constables and justices ele ted subsequent to
the new fee bill. on the 23d of May, last can
receive fees AS provided by the now bill,
which is about double the amounts received
by the officers named, in both criminal and
civil suits.

The Most Artistic Mining swindIe
Ever Perpefrnfed

1.-THE most artistic swindle known
to the history OF the Colorado mining
industry occurred three years ago this
Winter at Georgetown" said an old
miner recently. Georgetown is up
in the mountains and in the center Of
a very rich mining country. In the
Winter snow drifts hundreds OF feet
deep among the mountains and packs
down very hard. Two old miners ran
q tunnel into the snow at the base OF
a mountain a distance OF three hun
dred feet deep, timbered il up nicely,
plastered it with mud, and at the far
end piled q quantity OF very rich
quartz. Then they went down to
Denver and became acquainted with q
couple Of wealthy Englishmen who
had just come Owe TO look for an in
vestment for their spare cash that
would pay a big divvy. They took
them to Georgetown and showed them
their tunnel and the FL Dorado at the
end OF it. The tunnel, had it been
really into the Rocky mountains,
would have represented thousands OF
dollars. The Englishmen were
charmed with it and the prospect.
They bought up the claim for eighty
thousand dollars spot cash and went
East 10 contract for quartz machinery.
When they returned in the Spring
there was nothing left OF tho tunnel
but the wood work and a wagon load Of
quartz at the end. 1t was the most
ridiculous sell ever known, and the
most successful ever known"

Of the Salt Lake railroad project:
Those who were interested are tout"
just s43 900 for surveys and other en-
cheering work which it now appears
was useless, and that is all there is
about it.
The maps, documents, etc., apper-
tanning to the concern are, it is stated,
in the custody OF E. L. g. Steele, the
California street capitalist, and il is
interesting to remember in this con-
nection that Mr.. Steele was n OF the
most positive OF those who denied the
truth Of the prediction already referred
to that the concern vas on the verge
OF collapse.
In making such denial he rather
strongly reflected upon the credibility
OF II. p. Sonntag, the well-known real
estate dealer, who had made a con-
trary statement.
Mr.. Sonntag smiled a little when the
circumstance was recalled to his MEM
DRY this morning.
~ wonder who's Off now?" was

The members OF the railroad COM
pany, it should be stated, in
clinsd to blame the members OF the

made by the association oil the rail-
road consolidation bill now pending

NO COMPETING RArLRoAp.
San Francisco Capitalists Abandon
a AirIIno Railroad hcheme.


the Airline Railroad scheme.
A San Francisco dispatch says that
the Great Salt Lake railroad project
has been abandoned. The company
was organized some months ago to
build a competing railroad. Capital
lists OF San Francisco were interested
in the scheme, which was 10 build q
road from San Francisco to Nevada,
to connect with q line to be built to
Salt Lake City, thus connecting with
the transcontinental road. About
$50, 900 were expended for surveys.
The reason for the abandonment OF
the project was the opposition Of the
merchants traffic association to the
passage Of the bill in the Legislature
allowing the consolidation of Califor-
MIA roads with the roads in another
State. The traffic association claimed
that such a law would allow the
Southern Pacific company, which II
was fighting, TO consolidate it's local
lines with those it had in Arizona and
elsewere, thus taking its local lines
out Of the States control.
The traffic association refused to re-
cede from its position, and so the
capitalists interested in the proposed
road gave up the scheme.
