A dispatch from Richmond. Va, is to
the effect that the Pennsylvania Rail
road is negotiating with the Seaboard
Air Line to secure the right of wav
which the latter recently obtained be-
tween Richmond and Quantico. Va.
with the view OF building an extension
between these points. The Pennsyl-
vania owns a line as far as Quantico,

with the report that the Pennsylvania

board from Richmond to Petersburg,

A persistent rumor has been repeated
for several days to the effect that what
has sometimes been called the smith
dynasty is likely to be in the ascend
ant again in connection with the
PENNSYLVANIA Coal company's holdings.
While the parties most Interested
have declined to make any statement.
concerning the matter and have SAID
that at present nothing definite was
known about the future plans and in
tentions of the Erie company. the opin-
lon prevails among many persons VINO
Hre in a position to be familiar with the
details of the transfer that the report
has some basis of probability.
It is stated with some confidence that
the controlling policy which made the
Pennsylvania Coal company Snch a
surprisingly valuable property is con-
sidered by the new owners to be the
one which will best promote the inter-
ests of the stockholders: and since the
methods employed during the active
DAYS of the late John Il. Smith and
pursued under the direction Of his son.
George b. Smith, We're such as to COM
mend themselves to those who had in
vestments in this business, l'esump-
ton of that policy is regarded as prob
able.
Great interest is felt locally in the
subject. The town Of Dunmore was
built up under the management of the
Smiths and its people have none but
the kindliest recollections of that
regime. One policy which tended to
commend 1t to local favor was the lib
eral treatment of employees and the
generous stimulation of local enterprise.
1t was the lifelong principle of John
Il. Smith and his immediate successors
10 dismiss no man who served the COM
pany faithfully. II was the rule that
honest, loyal service was cheerfully
given and that the virtues of industry
and economy We're appreciated at their
full value.

Work on the Armory.

Work will be started on the steel
framework of the big drill room of the
new armory building within few
days. as a large amount of the con-
struction material is now on hand, and
a company of men skilled in this par
ticular kind of work We're Saturday
sent to the city by the Passaic Rolling
Mill company, of Paterson, n. j., which
has charge of all the iron work of the
structure.
Contractor Schroeder has the rest Of
the armory we'll under way now, and
for some time operations have tagged,
while awaiting the steel trusses and the
arrival Of the Paterson men. These
latter have been at work at Buffalo. on
the new plant of the Lackawanna Iron
and Steel company, but were dis
patched to this city. as the local work
is in the nature of a hurry-up contract.
They will be aided in the work by a
great number of laborers from this city,
and work will be started as soon as
the hosting engine needed in the con-
struction is secured. This engine was
shipped from Buffalo last week. but
from some unknown cause has not yet
reached Scranton.
Inc tfuSSeS Wnlch are 10 De put INTO
place are particularly large ones, each
weighing about eighteen tons There
are twelve of them. and it will be a
task OF gigantic dimensions to get
them properly adjusted. Contractor
Schroeder is living in hopes that the
present clear weather will continue, as
under more severe atmospheric condi-
tions it will be an almost hopeless en-
deavor to make any active progress.
Once the trusses are put into place it
will be comparatively easy to build up
the rest of the structure with bricks
Large supplies Of the latter commodity
are being daily accumulated.

To Protect Fruit Shipment.

An order has been posted on the
Lackawanna bulletin board, which an
nounces several rules to be observed in
the handling of fruit by the freight
men. The rules apply to The shipment
of oranges, lemons. apples and any
fruit other than bananas, during the
winter.
The intention is to protect this fruit
from the rigid winter weather. and the
first suggestion is that when the out :
side temperature is higher than thirty
degrees above zero the hatch covers
should bo raised in order to afford
proper ventilation.
However, when the mercury gets
down to thirty above or lower, the
hatch covers must be closed and the
hatch plugs put in, to prevent freez-
ing. When only five degrees or less
above, then the cars should be pro-
tected In the round-house. or other
buildings, and should remain there dur
ing this low temperature.
The same rules must govern the
opening of the trap doors of cars when
in the round-house. If the tempera
ture is higher than thirty above, the
trap doors or side doors of the cars are
to be opened, and IL the mercury gets
lower than the prescribed mark, then
all doors are to be closed

ORIGIN OF THE WIG.

History ol Every Nation Mentions WEgs
 sery Early.
 The first wig mentioned in history was made out of a goats skin and was worn by the daughter of Saul, king of Israel. The first artistic wigs were made in the south of Italy for tae Gapiniens, who lived in Apulia, anu were known for the luxuries of their toilet. These people were, they say, the first who painted their faces; this they did with the juice of strawberries. Xenophon relates that little Cyrus, when he visited Astyages. his grand father. whose eyes were framed in blue paint and who wore an enormous wig, threw himself on his knees and cried: 70, mother, what 6 beautiful grandfather I have!" The Pheenician women, who were proud of their hair, having blen ordered by their priests Co offer 1t up on the ahars dedicated to Venus after the death of Adnnis, obeyed but with murmuring. Soon they were c0nsoled by Greek merchant who told them that he would give them the means of hiding their bald pateS under Iuxuriant curls. In his chariot he had hundreds of wigs of all colors. Wigs were in vogue in Rome toward the end of the republic, and so well made that, says Ovid, "No man could know if his wife had any hair at all before she had given him an oppor- tunity of seizing her by the tresses. ;" Teutonic peasants were the providers of blond hair for rich Roman prin cesses, who loved the contrast of it's tiaxen hue with their black eyes. They even had morning wigs, small and tightly curled. of any color, and kept the beautiful fair ones to receive their admirers at night. Messalina had 15o wigs to disguise herself.-Exchange.
