The reduction will go into effect on
Monday, the three days notice re-

mission ,at Washington
The fast freight lines that operat @
over the Baltimore e Ohio, Pennsyl-
Vanla. and Chesapeake & Ohio have not
as yet decided what action they Will
take, but it is understood that they will
ask The Joint Traffic Association, Of
Which they are members. for authority

war Will thus be begun between the
strongest trunk lines in the country.
The Narfolk & Western is not a mem
ber of the Joint Traffic Association ana
consequently is free to act independent,
Of that organization.
TROUBLE BREWING A LONG TIME
The trouble has been brewing for q
long time. and il is due 10 the attcmp,
Of the Joint Traffic Association to force
NC Nor!oih ~ western to join the or
GaniZaiion and abide by its rules and
regulations. The Norfolk & Western
has pcrsstcntly refused TO ioin iss,r
with the other roads, and the recent
discovery that the association limos
were cutting freight rates made lhc
Norfolk d Western more determined
than ever 10 maintain the stand it had
taken.

The fight promises TO be a long and
pitter one, and may ultimately involve

day applies only from Baltimore 10 the

Mr.. w. j. Thomas, the select coun-
Gilman from the Fourth ward, is now
the last survivor of the terrible acci-
dent that occurred on the twenty-hrst
day Of March, 1868. 1t Will be remein-
bered that seventeen robust miners left
their happy homes on that memorable
morning little thinking that the ma
jority of them We're then vending their
way to their final goal on earth. They
reached the head of the shaft between
six and seven o'clock in the morning,
and q few minutes later entered the
carriage in buoyant spirits. The en-
gineer signalled the footman, who was
stationed at the foot of the shaft, that
the carriage was being lowered, and 1t
was started downward on its Inflated
course, on to a depth of one hundred
and eighty feet below the surface.
Alas before they had descended many
feet one of the links of the main chain
of the rope to which the carriage was
attached broke, and seventeen noble
souls were hurled to the bottom with
the velocity of an unbridled cyclone
The men realized their perilous position
at once; they knew that they were de-

His poetical compositions are many,
but so far preserved In manuscript, the
most remarkable of which are in his
poetical controversy with William Gym
wal, of Pen Machno, consisting of "a
poems.
Prefixed to DR., Davies "Welsh Gram
mar" which is dedicated to the arch
deacon, are some elegant Latin verses
by Prys in recommendation of the
work, where he mentions that he was
then Sc years of age. The verses are
dated 1921, and translated thus into
English by the Rev. j. Walters, rector
of Llandough, author of the welsh
and English Dictionary" They are as
follows:
Ye sons of fame, with every science
fraught
(One taught at Sens and one at oxford
taughD,
Exert their skill our language to restore
That used by bards in golden days of yore.
Both these are DOCTORS and alike in name,
The same their proper, and their sur the
same,
In Cambria's tongue both knowing, blest
with skill
The critics chair with dignity to fill.
Physicians both-both friends of human
kind
one heals corporeal ills, and one the sickly
mind,
Each in his branch a fair proficence
shows,
To each his country warm affection owes,
Tho Cambrian born, yet conversant
abroad,
The first, by daring novelty un-awed,
Attempts our Ancient Alphabet to change,
Our veteran troops beneath new banners
range.
Still in his mind our language holds a
place,
Tho unacquainted with its parents race;
His native tongue is ever at his heart
| Tho not well skilled in its poetic art;
Whence he blind guides implicitly obeys
Still pressing on unconscious that he
strays,
TIL attempt we honor and transmit to
fame;
We veherate his love. and glory in his
name. g.. 'lt,f .a
But in the last tho ne'er'abroad we find
A more attentive, more discerning mind
Each deep recess of language he explores
Nor rest below, but to the summit scars
His much lov'd Cambrians he conducts
and brings
BY paths direct to Salem's sacred springs;
Points out each stream on Grecia's learned
shore.
And bids him drink where He had drunk
before,
Errors dark night, which erst involv'd
our isle,
Too long the dupe of Rome's enslaving
guile,
He lends us light at once to chase away
And of fair truth restored the golden day
He gladly deigns his countrymen to teach,
BY wellweighd rules, the rudiments of
Speech
That when the root, first, of our own we
gain,
The Hebrew tongue we thence may soon
attain
That, still desirous to improve our days,
We blessing God in Cambria's native
lays,
May to the Saviour live, to Whom be end
less praise. 4.
