quarters at Cleveland, and the Fire

low, the Locomotive Engineers Broth

Within a short time the Pressed Steel
Car company will have 300 steel cars
ready to be shipped to the Egyptian
State railroad, which is controlled by
the British government. The cars will
probably be forwarded to the Atlantic
seaboard in about ten trains. At the
present time the company has 100 of
these cars completed.
President Fink, of the Norfolk and
Western says the prosperity of the
South is as wonderful as 1t is real, and
as real as, he thinks, 1t will be lasting.
New industries of all kinds are being
established. He mentions as an eX-
ample that iron furnaces along the line
OF the road which have been idle for a
great many years are being put in
blast, and six more are to be in opera
tion by Jan. I.
The Pennsylvania company Is selling
old steel rails at profit. H. Q. HuRill,
purchasing agent for the railroad COM
pany, stated that last year the COM
pany contracted for 10000 tons of steel
rails at SIS a. ton, for delivery in 1899
The new rails replaced old ones on the
| main line west of Pittsburg and the
PanhH ndle system. The old rails that

to Chicago and some of the rails have
been taken rD and replaced on certain
divisions where the traffic is not SO
heavy as on the main line.

An ordinance permitting the crossing

Never before in the history of the
Erie was the traffic greater than now.
Every morning finds at least 1000 cars
of loaded freight in the Port Jervis
yard bound east and every available
engine is in demand, but the Erie
gets there with them just the same.
One great item of traffic is the haul
ing of the Pennsylvania Coal COM
pany. The Erie handles on an aver
age daily 1,500 cars loaded and empty
on the T. >wley branch for the Penn
sylVania and other coal companies.
This extensive business occasions nat
urally more repairs to engines and

Delaware and Hudson Rumors.

1t has been persistently rumored here
for several weeks that The Delaware
and Hudson company intended to build
a round-house on the level tract of lani
near the foot of Plane p. The officials
here knew nothing about it and on in
quiry at the company's office at Scran-
ton it was said by the officials that
there is no necessity for such a change
and that they knew nothi"g 6 about it.
1t was also said during the week that
the company would connect the aban-
doned gravity track near the foot of
plane B with the track now used in
hauling coal from the breaker here and
another connection would be made with
the new line over the Moosic noun
tains to Honesdale. This rumor rests
on a more certain base than that con-
cerning the round house. 1t is not un-
likely that the company has such a
project in view, as its completion would
shorten the distance to Honesdale to
considerable extent. At any rate, the
matter has been under consideration by
the officials of the ompany.-Archbald

Eight Hours a Day.

The miners employed by the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western COM
pany worked a nine-hour shift each
day until Wednesday, when an order
was issued making eight hours a days
work.
1t is not definitely known how Ions
this order will be in effect. as lull
was noticeable in the coal market dur
ing the past few days, but the miners
will only work eight hours at present.
In the event of an increased demand
for coal, the miners will be put back
on full time. This order applies 10
all the mines operated by the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western COM
pany.

New Engines.

The Schenectady Locomotive works
have turned out six heavy consolida-
ton pushing engines for the Delaware
and Hudson Coal company. The CYL
inders are 22x2S, the veight on drivers
157 800 pounds, and total weight 116.OOo
pounds. The total weight was limited
and it was desired to get as much
heating and crate surface as possible
within the limits. The rods are of
light channel section.
Driving axles have enlarged wheel
fits. Frames are cast steel. The
CRATE surface is 9O.19 square feet and
the heating surface 3,34S square feet
This Is believed to be the largest
heating surface ever applied to To-
comotive of this weight.

Troubles in Clinton

But THEY LASTED ONLY One DAY.
Decisive Action Of Chair

trlrbance in Bud.

Clinton, April 3.-Mlll No 2, other
wise known as the new weave room
and the Cameron street mill is a four
story brick structure attached to the
Lancaster mills. Within the walls are
$50 of the $500 looms that make the
Lancaster mills famous among the
cotton fabriomakers of the country:
In mill No. 2 are employed 25O of the
HOO operatives in the mills.
This morning nearly all of these $50
operatives went out on strike. They
are out yet, but they will return tomor-
row morning.
This strike had some of the character
istics of opera bouffe. Nevertheless it
was a thing of serious import.
At one time 1t looked as if the dissatis-
faction that engendered it would ex-
tend to the old mill, and that from
sympathy all or nearly all the en-
ployes OF the great bingham mills
would Join the fight.
This would have been regrettable and
expensive. The Lancaster mills are
the heart of Clinton. Clinton was born
of these mills. When the Lancaster
mills stop the town almost stops, al
though it is true the industries here are
more diversified than they were a few
years ago.
Such calamity as a general strike was
prevented largely by the kindness
firmness and diplomacy of the agent,

ANOTHER BERGEN.
North Brookield Boy
Is Going to Fort
Wayne.
THE CONTRACT IS NOW SIGNEO.
Youngster Has Played with
Several Of the New Eng
land League Teams.
THE CONTRACT is NOW SIGNEO.

North Brookfeld, March 3-Catcher
William Bergen today affixed his sig
nature to a contract to play ball with
the Fort Wayne, Ind, team of the In
terstate league. He will leave North
Brookfeld a week from today to prac-
tice with the team and get ready to
be in form when the Interstate league
season opens, May /.
That young Bergen will make a big
success, none of his North Brookfield
friends, and he has hosts of them, will
doubt. In fact. wherever he has play
ed ball, he has received unstinted
praise, and such men as Manager Con-
ME Mack Of the Milwaukee team and
Pitcher Ted Lewis Of Boston have
prophesied a bright career for him as a
catcher.
The young man is a brother Of Mar
tin Bergen, the king of them all, now
with the Boston team. North Brook
field sports who have seen both men
grow and develop into adopts at the
national game, generally concur in the
opinion that Billy, as he is best known,
is now much better catcher than Mar
tin was at the same age, and that is
tiles of the big Bostonian.
Last season he played with Paw
tucket and New Bedford, but neither
team could give him the salary he
wanted, and he went to Manchester,
N. H. where he played a good part of
the season. He is 20 years of age and
has been playing base ball almost as
long as he has walked. He stands
within fraction of six feet in height,
and weighs 100 pounds, and is always in
good condition. When young Bergen
leaves North Brookfeld, he will go
with the best wishes of every one who
knows him or has ever seen him at the
great national game.
There is little doubt now that the st.
Joseph's T. A. S. will enter into the
dual field day to which the Holy Ro-
sary C. T. A. of Spencer has invited it.
At first the boys did not enter very
heartily into the project, because of the
great difference in the membership of
the societies. While the Spencer So
ciety has a membership in the neigh
borhood Of $50, North Brookfield carries
only As names on it's rolls.

FAT MEN AND DIRTY DOZEN
These Will Wage Battle on the Roch-

Rochdale, April 3.-The only opposi-
ton the Rochdale Base Ball Club will
meet with this year is the Fat Mems
Club. This club is being organized by
f. D. Tucker, and will he managed by
Dick Butler. To be a member man
must weigh at least 200 pounds, and the
members and their positions on the
base ball team are as follows:
James e. Boardman, catcher; f. ID.
Tucker, pitcher; Edward Loudon, first
base: Nelson Guy, second base; Ed
ward Norton, third base; James Pha-
len, shortstop; James Fitzpatrick, right
field; Edward Ellis, centre field; Geo.

to be used as a sub-pitcher in case
f. D. Tucker is batted too hard.
This team was to play the Dirty
Dozen April 1, but the game was post
poned until Patriots day on account
of James Il. Boardman being unable to
fill his position because Of broken
arm.
Great interest is being taken in this
game, and the betting now stands 10
to 9 in favor OF the Dirty Dozen, who
are practicing daily under the manage
ment of II. ]. Boardman. They will
