The Pennsylvania Railroad ran its
last of the seasons excursion to Ocean
City, Md, Thursday, and the excur-
sion, principally because of the ideal
weather and the last opportunity to
visit the improved peninsula resort,
was a record breaker. The Whining
ton section, carrying the excursion
lists from all points north of Clayton,
PASSED through Dover about 8 o'clock
morning with seventeen day coaches
loaded to the platforms and containing
scores of ''strap hangers. The en-
gines were required to draw this load
of human freight. The first section
was sent out ahead from Clayton to
relieve the congestion at the southern
points, but this train Jared no better
from the onslsugh, of humanity by the
it had reached Frankford.

Nathaniel Digging, the negro who
stopped an expaess train to suit his
own convenience by pulling the en-
ergency cord as the train sped through
his home town of Brenford, was
Friday fined $50 for disorderly con-
duct, the authorities having failed to
find any special law for this transgres-
sion, which, in other states, is punish
able by a fine of $50. Magistrate
Woods ruling on this case establishes
temporary new law which will probably
be taken up and enacted into a special
statute with heavier fine, by the
Legislature. Otherwise, it is feared,
that some suburbanites or farmers
will get to pulling bell cords of the
night trains as they approach their
farmhouses, if they know it will only
cost $s. 10.

method OF business. but have been continuing on
the same basis since that time The kellogg ele-
vators which have per cent OF the storage room

OF the elevator business OF the port
The New York Central asserts that this rebate
system they term the transactions OF the Spen-
Ger Kellogg Company is illegal and criminal and
that they have the right 20 discriminate against

The Spencer Kellogg Company puts in counter
assertion that. since the firm Is not a common car

Hoyt but II Mr. Kellogg will give up his prac-
tce In getting business will Immediately file
