TMtladeIphia Changes.

The Philadelphia Il Reading Railroad
and the city of Philadelphia began work
on Monday depressing the tracks in Penn
sylvania Avenue. There are SO many
grade crossings on this stretch of track
which is used by great many trains
that it was deemed necessary to make the
improvement, which will cost seyeral
millions of dollars and take two years to
complete. This track ran from the B. &
o. station at oath aud Chestnut streets to
the newReadingT Terminal, and the change
will uecessitate the abandonment of the
Reading Terminal by the B. & o. through
trains to New York Hereafter, the B.
o. trains will arrive and depart from
the B. & o. station at 9th and Chestnu,
streets. When the tracks are depressed
and the work is finished, the trains will
again run into the Reading Terminal
Under the new arrangement the ROYAL
Blue Line trains will be able to make
better time between Washington and New
York.

Ne,v Camden station.

Bids will be received in few days by
Chief Engineer Manning, of the B. & O..
r. r., for the construction of the addi-
ton to the Camden Station, in Baltimore.
1t is proposed to erect, at the east side of
the station, brick addition containing
ladies and general waiting room, toilet
rooms, news stands, ticket Office, smoking
room, dining room and covered passage
way to the structure that is to be erected
over the tunnel. There will be train
room, etc, taking to covered stairway
which goes to the platform between the
two tracks that now enter the tunnel
There will be both baggage aud passenger
elevators, and the arrangement in the tun-
| mel is such as TO insure the rapid and safe
handling of all the through trains, and
p lssengers will not have to cross any
tracks either leaving or attempting to
each the cars.
Alongside the present train shed of the
Camden Station there will be built an
other shed, from which all excursion and
accommodation trains will leave. In the
center of the tunnel train shed there will
be fume, so arranged as to carry off
what little smoke may come from the
tunnel. While the buildings and struc-
lures will not be of an elaborate charac-
ter, they will be of modern design, and
the plans show very convenient ar
rangement, and it is believed that the
Improvement will meet with popular ap
prevail. The through trains will mo
longer have to back in and out of Cam
den Station, and much time that is now
lost will be saved, and through and local
passengers will be entirely separated
The old station will be given over to
freight business.

The coming Man.

Iwhltestonc On. Y Long Island soundl
Fortune seems particularly kind to one
of FIushing's most promising young men.
Although but few years resident OF
our town, Judge II. Stewart Mcknight,
of Bayside. seems to have reached the
rounds of popularity that will, if he con-
tinues ascending, soon land him on the
topmost step.
His advent into politics soon after his
entry into the town quickly brought pub
lie attention to his great natural gifts
and acquired accomplishments. These
features speedily put him to the front to
reap the harvest of honors that always is
ready to be garnered by the possessors of
merit and perseverance. His success in
the town election placed him on the Jus
tees bench, a position he has filled with
dignity and fairness.
So prominent did he become in the ad.
ministration of the duties of his judicial
Office and as a member of the Town
Board, where his rare ability as an elo-
quent and forceful speaker were given the
opportunity of effective display, that our
party realized that they had found in
him warrior worthy of better STEEL
Thus we now see him elected by an over
whelming majority as our representative
in the State Legislature.
That we shall have continued occasion
to feel proud of Judge Mcknight there
can be no question. We believe he has
mind of his own :" that he cannot be
swerved to the right or the left in the
performance of straight line of duty !;
that he will know no obligation but the
one that intelligence and CONSCIENTIOUS
ness dictate.
Believing this, and placing in him such
unbounded confidence, we know of no
reason why there should be any hating
or faltering in the direction of continued
and more exalted preferment. The step
from Judge Mcknight TO Assemblyman
Mcknight has already been taken. The
advance to Senator Mcknight, then to
Congressman Mcknight we know
of no place to put the limit, and none
will be placed unless by some misstep he
falls from the pinnacle of his present
popularity.

GENTLEMEN when 1 wrote you
the latter part of December, my
mother was, according to the honest
belief of three physicians, on her
deathbed: she could not retain either
food or medicine on her stomach, and
it did not seem reasonable to think
there was anything but death to re-
lieye her. The doctors informed us
she had a cancer in the lower bowel
and there was no cure for her. She
showed such vitality for person to
be SO near death we thought there
must be something to help her, and
reading of others being saved by the
use of your S. s. s., we thought 1T
would do no harm, il not some good,
to try it, so we informed her of her
condition, Just as the doctors had in
formed us, and left it with her to try
your remedy or not, as she saw fit.
She concluded to try it and from the
first dose or two, she began to brighten
up, and improve; she can now get up,
dress and help herself, and can eat
everything or anything she wants and
no distress from it. We all feel quite
hopeful that the cancer will pass away
in due time by the use OF your S. s. 81,
which she will now gladly take. You
may make this letter as public as you
choose, and the more so the better, as
too much praise can not be given your
valuable remedy.
Yours truly,
