Mr. Merrill had discharged the cOnduc-

longer. and that this time his dismissal
was for good.

Anthracite briquettes have heretofore

preferable. 1t is then mixed with say

Binghamton Herald: 1t is stated on
reliable authority that at recent meet
ing of the directors of the Delaware
and Hudson it was voted that the divi-
sion between Nineveh Junction and
Delanson he made double track at once,
and sufficient sum to complete the
same was voted. and the work ordered
completed at an early date. This will
be indeed good news to the railroad
men. who appreciate the fact that the
trains can be hurried over the road
much more rapidly where the entire di-
vision is double tracked. The small
portion between this city and Nlneveh
is not so much used. as all the coal
comes from the Pennsylvania division.
and all of the Boston freight leaves at
Delanson for Mechanicsville The por-
ton between Delanson and Albany has
practically little freight. The improve
ment is one the most important ever
made by the company.
