The work of strengthening the track and reducing the grade at Tabbs Station on the second division of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad was recently completed, and the first train to use the new line was No. 1, the New York and St. Louis flyer. A heavy grade and three bad curves have been elim mated by this work. A mile east, at Meyers Hole, similar improvement has also been completed after months of work. Several reverse curves and a nasty and dangerous dip are done away with at this point Near Myer's Hole, at Tablers, the alignment of the track is being materially changed, and, as in the. other two improvements, bad grades and sharp, annoying curves are being re- moved. This part of the work will be done in sixty days and then series of very dan gerous places will have been entirely re. moved. This work in it's entirety means the hauling of several additional cars in each freight train, besides reducing the danger of derailments to almost nothing. The sec ond division, running from Cumberland to Brunswick, will soon be in frst-elass con dition and more cheaply operated than ever.

Or else at night he was rowed along the shores with a light in the bow of the boat. Often in this way the prey is brought within two or three yards of the muzzle of the rife.

TO EQUALIzE EARNINGS.
INCREASE FOR WEAV VERS AT THE
ATLANTIC MILLS.
Wages OF Operatives on the jacquard Looms
Materially Advanced.

Wages on the jacquard looms in the
Atlantic mills were increased this week.
The matter was widely reported about the
Olneyville factory district and caused
much speculation among the thousands
of operatives in the Atlantic and other
mills.
II is explained by the mill officials that
on certain pattern of weaving in which
a small number Of weavers are engaged,
there were difficulties encountered in the
production, and the weavers doing this
work were earning under the rate given a
fair wage, as compared with others.
The increase is one calculated to equalize
the wages of those producing this difficult
pattern with the earnings of those on
other work. The old price paid on this
class Of goods was s1.s5 and the increased
rate is $3.50.
