accompanied by a woman, presumably
his wife, in the eastern part Of the city,
about noon Sunday. e. H. Leiby, a
local Dowieite, who was with them,
was chased to a swamp and made his
escape. Lotslaw and the woman were
taken to the Erie depot, no officers be-
ing in sight, and after being held there
for two hours they were compelled to
buy tickets for Gallon.
In the meantime another elder, who
refused to give his name, was also
brought in by citizen and deported on
the same train. Both of the men were
kicked and cuffed by the crowd which
numbered several hundred, before the
train arrived. While the unknown
elder endeavored to make a speech from
the rear platform of the train he was
pelted with stones and gravel.

CANDIDATES. PICTURE
Interferes With the Love Plans
Ola Pair Of Toledo
People.

Toledo, Nov. 5.-The plans of Cupid
are sometimes changed by small things
as was aptly demonstrated in this city
several days ago, when a picture of w.
j. Bryan separated John Otterbaugh
and Mrs. H. d. Pero, who were planning
marriage for the past eight months
and caused the marriage few days
later of Mr.. Otterbaugh and Mrs.
Catherine Dugo.
Mr.. Otterbaugh Is "a years Of age,
Is an old soldier, and has been board
ing at the home of Mrs. Pero, at No,
1410 Washington street, for the past II
months. The story is interesting az
well as amusing. as 1t was told by M.
Otterbaugh, at his present home, No
912 Fifteenth street, where he and his
new wife have just gone to housekeep-
ing.
IT have been boarding with Mrs. Pero
for the past II months" he said, "and

CREW OF A SUNKEN SHIP
Has Arrived In Queenstown
One Member Was
Drowned.

Queenstown, Nov. 5.-The Cunard
liner Saxonia, Captain Pritchard, from
Boston, October 27, which arrived here
Sunday, brought Is members of the
crew Of the fishing schooner Mary Mos
quito, which the Saxonia sank, OF
Gloucester on the day of her departure
from Boston. One member of the crew
was drowned.
DR.. Bernard Chelsea, one of the Sax
onia's passengers, said: I'VE were pro-
ceeding at reduced speed during the fog
and blowing the whistle when, about
6 o'clock in the evening, the lookout
man reporte da sail ahead. The en-
gines were stopped. but the steamers
sway carried her into the Mary Moe-
quito making a big opening amidshir
and flooding the schooner.
by this time all the Saxonia's pas
sengers were on deck. The scene was
one Of great commotion, while appal-
ing shouts proceeded from the schooner
whose crew, however, worked vigorous
ly and got out two boats. Into these
Is of the crew scrambled, and put off
from the fast sinking vessel.
"At the moment of collision the Sax
onia lowered three life boats and scat
tered life belts. Fortunately the sea
was smooth. Twenty minutes later a
dory came alongside with ten men and
a life boat Of the Saxonia with five,
four of whom had been rescued from q
sinking dory and the other of whom
had fallen into the sea and narrowly
escaped drowning. All the men are

The TABLE D'HOTE PLAN
Will be Continued In Serving
Meals on the Pennsylvania
Dining Cars.

As result Of the ballot method ad-
opted by the Pennsylvania lines, west
Of Pittsburg for the past three months
to determine the most popular plan of
serving meals on the dining cars of the
Pennsylvania, It has been found that
a majority of the patrons during this
period preferred the present plan to
be continued. It is known as the table
d. hote plan and one dollar Is charged
for each meal.
The voting method was resorted to
by General Passenger Agent e. A.
Ford 30 as to find out Just what the
patrons Of the dining cars preferred.
Slips were handed to each one by the
conductors and they were requested to
sign their name opposite the line con-
tanning the name of the plan Of serving
meals which they preferred. A choice
Of Ia carte was given as q substitute
for all meals, or the first two, with
table d'hote dinner. The plan Of pay
ing according to what is ordered Is
very popular in the west.
Managing the dining car service on
a big railroad is not an easy task by
any means. Few persons have any idea
Of the enormous expense entailed In
feeding the travellers on q big system
| like the Pennsylvania, the Burlington
or the Santa Fe. Take the Pennsyl-
vania lines west for instance and we
| find that for the scheduled trains shown
on the time cards and the guides, eight
trains on the Fort Wayne have dining
cars attached on certain parts Of the
| road. The east-bound trains carry din
ing cars as far as Fort Wayne and
| Crestline, and the west-bound trains
out Of Pittsburg carry dining cars
from Crestline to Chicago and Fort
Wayne to Chicago, with the exception
OF train No. 8. which carries dining
car clear through from Plttsburg. On
the Pan Handle we find that six trains
carry dining cars and that nine cars
are required. These cars run from St
Louis to Richmond, Effingham to Co
lumbus, Chicago to Columbus; thence
to Chicago and Richmond to st. Louis
The cars are kept moving backward
and forward over certain sections OF
the road where meals are required, and
by careful management they are sc
utilized that It is not necessary to have
/ q large number of cars as one car will
do for two or three, perhaps six trains
In estimating the cost of this service
to figure only on the trains shown ir
the guide is misleading. Very few hotels
employ such force. For instance Par
Handle No. 20 when on time arrives
near Duncannon, on the Pennsylvania
railroad, just as another No. 20 is start.
Ing out of st. Louis. When No. 8 IL
passing Pitcairn in the morning anoth'
er No. is ready to leave st. Louis, and
1t is the same way east and west with
all along the distance trains. This
means additional dining cars and IL we
estimate that 80 cars are required or
the lines west of Pittsburg, that would
mean at least 80 walters, As cooks ant
| 30 conductors, or say total of 165 or
each turn, and for duplicate trains ant

at least 210 persons employed.

him to never return again. and threat

always been a dutiful husband, pur-

A press dispatch says the Pennsyl-

some damage. They say they are often
a great annoyance to passengers an I

WILL LOSE his POSITION,
But Will Be Placed on the Pen
sion List After Many Years
Of Service.

The Fort Wayne is liable to lose one
of its superintendents after the first of
January next. The pension system
goes into effect on the Pennsylvania
lines west Of Pittsburg at that time,
and General Superintendent Miller, of
the Pan Handle, with headquarters at
Columbus, will be retired or account Of
the age limit. He is over seventy years
of age, and after the pension system
goes into effect he will be compelled to
retire from his position. A. M. Schoyer,
superintendent of the eastern division
of the Fort Wayne. having Jurisdiction
from Allegheny to Crestlne, has been
named as a probable successor OF Gen
eral Superintendent Miller. Mr. Schoyer
has worked up to his present position
from the operating desk. He was an
operator In Allegheny, and was pro-
NOTED to train dispatcher. He was
afterward made chief dispatcher and
later promoted to the position of super
intendent.

Neither the Valley or the Wheeling

ever, from the fact that both roads

roads makes big increase in the gross

Babcock, working near llutchinson's

parts and portfolios. The dcrricks
have lifted two cannon, one piece
weighing about 1000 pounds and the
other $50. The discovery has excited
the local watermen and drovcs OF
small boats hover near the spot in the
hope OF being able to pick up some
thing OF value. Speculation rs to the
name of the ship and the manner
of her collapse is rife, and those post
