RAILWAY RUNBLINGS
News Concerning Some of the Rail-
way Operations Cleaned
by the Reporters.
CHANGES IN TIME TABLES.
A NEW SCHEDULE WENT INTO EFFECT
ON THE LEHIGH VALLEY, RAIL
ROAD YESTERDAY.
Danger From an Open Switch Avoided
by the Watchful Engineer of a
Passenger Train Between Del
anO and Park Place.

Changes for the spring and summer
season have been made in the time table of
the Lehigh Valley railroad. They went
into effect at 2:01 a. m. yesterday. They
are quite numerous and should be care
fully scanned by travellers.
Unfortunately the HERALD did not re-
ceive copy of the corrected schedule in
time to make the changes for today 6
issue, so the time table as published to-
day must not be relied upon. The cor
rected table will be published tomorrow
Among the numerous changes that
have been made are the following: The
train that formerly left this place for
Lost Creek, Girardville and Ashland at
TAG a. M, now leaves at 7:30 a. M, sixteen
minutes earlier; and the train that form
erly left for Ashland at p. m. leaves al
1885 p. m, or twenty five minutes earlier
One train has been added to the
schedule, it being a train that leaves
Ashland at S:22 p. m.
All other trains are running on the
same time as formerly and there has been
no change in the time of any of the Sun
day trains.
Travelling men who learned of the
changes yesterday had but one regret tc
express, and that was over the failure oi
the railway company to provide for 8
train to leave here at about seven O'CLOCK
in the morning for Shamokin. Such 6
train would be a great accommodation
they say. Under the present schedule the
first train for Shamokin does not leave
here until 9;13 a. m. and people who wan
to go as far as Sunbury cannot reach thai
point until nearly two o'clock in the
afternoon.

A Big Crowd of Sports Witness
One Of the Largest Cooking
Mains of Recent Times.
LANSFORD AN EASY VICTOR
SPORTS OF THAT PLACE PRESENTED
BIRDS IN THE PIT THAT EASILY
DEFEATED THEIR ADVERSARIES.
The Battles Were Witnessed by About
Five Hundred People and Hundreds
of Dollars Changed Hands on
the Result.

One of the largest cooking mains held
In this county for some time took place at
a we'll known resort few miles from
town, on Saturday night, and attracted a
large attendance of sports from several
Of the neighboring counties. About five
hundred men witnessed the battles.
The main was between Lansford and
Shenandoah birds and the stakes were
$3.50 a side. 1t is said $1,000 changed
hands on the results Some of the in
dividual bets on single birds ran as high
as ten dollars. The conditions of the
main were best four out of seven battles.
The Shenandoah birds and sports were
plucked clean, the Lansford birds winning
four straight battles and the stakes.
The first battle was between pound
8 ounce birds. 1t started at 9;O5. The
Shenandoah bird grew weak and ran
around the pit twice. 1t lost the fight at
the expiration of fifteen minutes.
The birds pitted for the second battle
weighed pounds ounces. The Shenan-
doah bird received a jab in the early part
Of the fight that broke one Of its legs,
but Notwithstanding this disability it
made game spurts until the expiration of
twenty minutes, when it was declared
beaten.
The third battle the birds weighed 4
pounds ounces The Lansford bird was
sleeper. 1t started in frame of mind
that was very discouraging to its hackers,
but suddenly braced up and rushed its
Shenandoah antagonist like a John L.
Sullivan. From that time to the end of
the battle the Lansford birds superiority
was plain. The Shenandoah bird lost
ground fast, but was very game and
revived repeatedly. Lansford was de
clared the winner after a fight of ten
minutes. 1t was the star battle OF the
main.
The birds for the fourth and last battle
was fought between birds weighing 4
pounds s ounces. They were pitted at
1I9. After fighting some time the
Lansford bird showed an inclination tc
run away, but it revived with such vigor
that the Shenandoah bird was put ia
rout at the expiration of fifteen minutes

ables ever exhibited in the town at this
season of the year. The bar was hand.

cacies of the market. Pyramids of little
neck clans and delicious prime oysters,

decorated with greens fresh from the hot
house, in fact the bill of fare included
everything imaginable in the eating line,
standing out in bold relief and making a
sight that would please the eye of the

Our Base Ball Club.

William S. Brennan, manager of the
local base ball club of the State League,
visited the county seat on Saturday and
to Journal reporter said number of
interesting things. He said that Shensn.
doah will finish either first, second or
third this season and he has good and
sufficient reason for believing that he
will land his club among the pennant
winners and make the champions take
defeat every time the clubs meet. Potts
Vile, he says, has signed people who
played in the obscure minor leagues OF
New York state, while Shenandoah has
secured contracts with men who are
known throughout the land as base ball
players.
