II. II. Changes.

Last Tuesday the Sth inst brought
about another great chang in the x. L..
circles, Pleasantville and the Shore
however are faring very well yet. The
people have been specially favored with
the class of train men sent here by the X.
Il. Co. ever since the. motors have been
running over the road. This season has
been no exception to the rule. The only
familiar faces in either Of the crews OF
the three trains were Mr.. Thomas Hig-
gins and Dan. Collins. But every one
without an exception quickly gained
the respect of all. 1t really is d singular
fact that not one complaint hi 8 been
brought to our notice detrimental to any
of the gentlemen referred to. 1t is this
fact that makes the 'goed byes" result
ing from the fall changes rather sad in q
certain sense. Mr.. w. F. johnson the
conductor of the train laying over at
Somers Point at night has returned to
his old position running between Ocean
City and Camden. Mr.. W p. White, the
train agent who was with Mr.. Williams,
has returned to his former position in
the main office at Broad st, Phila. Mr..
Taylor, who was with Mr.. Johnson is
retained, and Mr. Thomas Higgins,
eyerybodys favorite, has been transferred
from main line to conduct Mr.. Taylor's
train. The old engineer and fireman of
the same train are also retained. We
trust that success and prosperity will
follow these gentlemen where ever they
may be. Mr.. VIM. Z. Bell, of the branch
train. has made many friends and is
hoped he will stay with us.
