Those who have Rheumatism find
themselves growing steadily worse all

The Principal Grievance.

Lehigh Valley railroaders and MEM
Ders of the board of adjustment say
that the reports of strike were sent
to the papers by irresponsible news
paper reporters from such centres as
Easton and Hazleton, gathering an in
spIration from the fact that the board
of adjustment held it's annual meeting
at Easton. There were ten grievances
under consideration but eight of them
were granted by the officials as soon
as they were presented. The others
were of more moment and the COM
pany asked a little tins. in which to
consider them. One Of these was with
reference to the engineers of the cut
off branch on the Wyoming division.
The engines formerly in use weighed
on an average about eighty-five tons
and the new machines weigh about 116
tons. When they We're placed on the
mountain it was found that the COM
pany did not have a fireman in it's en-
ploy who could fire the big machines
daily, the work being too hard. This
was remedied by placing an additional
man in each crew to act as assistant
fireman.
The extra work which dcvolved upon
the engineers was not remedied. The
cabs of the new engines are only thir-
teen inches wide and the men were
compelled to stand against the hot
boiler during the entire day of twelve
hours. As there is no difference in pay,
none of the engineers want to run the
big machines.
To alter the engines would be impos-
sible and the only remedy that could
be suggested would be to employ two
engineers or allow the one now on to
have time to rest. The committee asked
that the engineers on these engines be
allowed one day a week off for rest:
that the engineers work five days a
week and be allowed off one day with
out loss of pay.
This request is now under considera-
tiOn and an answer will he made by
the company in a few days.-Wilkes-
Barre Record.

Laying Off the Engineers.

Eighteen of the sixty freight engl.
neers, formerly running on the AL
bany and Susquehanna division OF the
Delaware and Hudson railroad. have
been laid off recently, owing, the rail-
road men say to the fact that the al.
vision is replacing the light engines
heretofore used on the division with
the massive locomotive known as the
"culm burner" These ponderous en-
gines are used only for hauling freight
traffic and that their adoption has
been the cause of laying off of the
engineers is attested by the fact that
only the freight engineers have been
thinned out.
The "culm burners" that will be put
on in September will come from the
Schenectady Locomotive works and
will be quite similar to the ones al
ready at work. In addition to them
there will also be in stalled three
'pushers' for mountain work, thus en-
abling the Albany and Susquehanna
division to do away entirely with the
three remaining light weight engines
on their tracks.
The saving effected by the heavy
engines is three-fold. Fewer train
crews are required, grade of coal
about one-half cheaper than that here
tofore used is available and there is
saving in time required to haul the
freight from point to point. On the
old style engine the coal used is known
as lump coal, while the culm burn
ers will satisfactorily do their work
with pea or buckshot, which is known
by the dealers as wash" coal.
Another movement which shows the
tendency toward heavier rolling stock
is the replacing of the fifteen ton or
10000 pounds capacity freight cars
with others that will carry as high as
10000 pounds ds-Binghamton Herald.

steel rails has been placed with the
LaCkawanna Iron and Steel company
by the Delaware. Lackawanna and
Western company. They are for re-
pair work on the Scranton and Buffalo
divisions.
General Superintendent Russell tsaid
yesterday that a good part OF the road
will be supplied with new rails and that
the local mills will receive the prefer
ence in supplying the rails.
He seemed a little surprised when
asked Where will you buy all these
rails?" "Why, here, of course, We pro-
pose to buy all the material used on
the road from points along the line Of
the road II the towns along the road
are prosperous the road will prosper.
You will find us doing all we can to
contribute &c the prosperity of the

Big Deal is Held UP.

Quite serious opposition has been de-
Veloped among Boston and Albany
stockholders To the proposed lease Of
that property tO the New York Central
for the term of 900 years, at a rental
guaranteeing per cent dividends on
the stock. A protective committee Of
stockholders has been chosen and it is
claimed that the interests which it rep
resents now control by actual owner
ship and proxies $4,000 shares of Boston
and Albany stock.
To defeat the lease will require the
votes of S5,33i shares, and the opposi-
tion is confident that the necessary
$4,000 shares will be secured. 1t is
stated that the opposition is not to the
consolidation per Sc, but to the terms a
99-year lease and per cent. guaranteed
dividends constitute the contention Of

Cave Stalactites.
The mistakes of youth are many and

parents 10 visit the famous Luray cav

first trip away from home all the sights
and wonders along the road impressed
him. But the stalactites in the cave
seemed the most marvellous of all and
he wanted one to take home with him.
There were numerous small specimens
for sale at the cave entrance, but his
father needed the money and had re-
fused to buy. Signs inside the cav
ern warned the sightseers of the PEN
atty fixed by law for stealing curiosi-
ties. Thrown on his own resources
the lad watched his chance, determined
to break off a stalactite at any cost, If
he could do so without attracting the

BICYCLING IN GREECE.
Good Roads and Views which Are
simply Superb.

Good Roads and Views which Are
simply superb.
The notion which foreigners have of
the roads of Greece, that they are bad
compared with those of other coun-
tries, is an error, says the Paris Daily
Messenger. A bicycle journey through
Italy and Sicily disabused me of that
notion. The worst road that l ever
tried was between Caserta and Naples,
and the next worst was that leading to
Rome from the north. There are, Of
course. some bad roads in Greece. but
even Sicily. to say nothing of worse
roads in italy, cured me Of complain
ing against Greece. For a pure pleas
ure ride the road between Tripolitza
and Sparta would be hard to match
anywhere in the world. 1t is in capt.
tai condition, and. on account of its
gentle grade. involves very little walk
Ing. Six hours suffice for the journey
in either direction and the view either
way is superb. The ride through Ae-
tolia and Acarnania, regions consid-
cred half-civilized in the classical pc
riod Of Greek history, but always fine
in natural beauty, with big lakes and
rivers that move in majesty" "a rare
thing in Greece, hedged in by high
mountains. is perhaps the best in
Greece. One rides from the shore Of
the Corinthian gulf. opposite Patras,
to Arta (Ambracia). in two days. with
a comfortable night at Agrinion, pass
ing the historic Missolonghi and visit
ing the ruins of Calydon, Pleuron.
Oeniadae. Stratos. Limnaea and Am
philochian Argos, while to the right
and left are other ruins which invite
one to make detours If no. in hurry.
And one ought not to omit the recent
ly eXcavated Thermon, the ancient cap
ital of Aetolia even If it does cost an
extra day. The longknown and i'm
pressive ruins of Oenidae, the chief
city in Acarnania, also invites one to
linger the whole day instead Of spend
ing few hours in passing The first
five cities OF ancient Greece in renown
and interest were Athens, Sparta, Ar
COS, Thebes and Corinth. One can
ride from Athens to Thebes or Cor
inth and back in a single day; he
can also easily reach Argos from
Athens in a day, and this leaves a
rather long days work for reaching
Sparta. Any good bcyclst would find
it no great matter to leave Thcbes and
pay his respects to Athens on the first
day, visit Corinth and Argos on the
next day and sleep comfortably at
Sparta the next night.
