Bcrmice Branch Trains

Beginning Monday, May 18th,
when new time table will 90 into
effect, some radical changes will be
made i'm the train service on the
Bernice Branch of the Lehigh Val-
ley. The present passenger trains,
running from Lopez to Towanda
and return twice day will be dis.
continued The train which now
leaves Dushore at $50 running to
Wilkes Barre, will leave Towanda at
GAO a. m, returning at 7:45 in the
evening. Running opposite to this
a train will reach Towand from
Wilkes Barre at 10 u. M, and re-
turning will leave Towanda at 4:35
p. m. This schedule will probably
not meet with hearty approval by
people who have business along the
line, as il will necessitate an early
start and there will be no means of
returning until nearly eight O'Clock
in the evening. Passengers who
wish to take w. & N. B. at Satters
field, unless there is change in the
time table Of that road, will have to
leave Towanda at 6 40 in the morn
ing and wait at Satterfe.d until after
dinner.-Towanda Recieac.

The legislature is likely to heed
the pleadings of the Commissioners
AMI leading citizens of Schuylkill
and Luzerne counties against dis
memberment, and the Quay county
scheme now promises to disappear
as new venture Of the politicians
in lucrative legislation.
AS a matter of justice, the Halle
ton end of Luzerne county deserves
and should lave better advantages
in reaching the county seat town, as
it is the Hazleton end that supplies
the majority of the CAGES on the
Luzerne calendar at every term of
Court, but it is Hazleton's misfor-
tune to find its interests in that di.
rcction in the charge of politicians
and heelers whose sole motive is
gain in any form that presents its
head.
The authoritest Of two counties
have organized such clever and
effective opposition to dismember-
ment that the legislature, having
once hestated by voting down the
bill on third aud final passage, is en-
tirely liable to kill it altogether when
its friends call it up for considera-
tion.
