RAILROAD NOTES.

The shipping public will be interest
ed in the announcement made to-day
by the Lackawanna Railroad that,
effective August 20, the lake line of
that company, known as the Lacka-
wanna Transportation Line, and
which has heretofore been operated in
connection with boats of the Union
Steamboat Line between Buffalo, Mil
waukee and Chicago will operate in
connection with the boats of the Vest
ern Transit Company. The Western
Transit boats will handle the business
to and from the Lackawanna lake
house at Buffalo and receive and de-
liver such traffic through their own
terminals at North Water street,
Chicago, and foot of Reade street,
Milwaukee, as well as all outside docks
and stations in those cities.
A freight train on the Lackawanna
jumped the track at eight thirty Mon
day night near Kearny, and held up
traffic on this line until long after mid
night. AS far as could be learned,
only three cars jumped the track at a
siding switch. No one was hurt, but
the cars were so lodged across the rails
that the wrecking gang had much diff
ficulty in clearing the track.
The Morristown drill on the Lacka-
wanna has had one hour cut from its
time daily with corresponding les--
ening in the earnings of the members
of the crew. The position Of engineer
of the drill has not been settled as yet
there being number of applicants
for the position from the older engin-
eers on the road.

Illustration of the difference between
necessities and luxuries.
We were very grateful. says the
writer, for coffee and an excellent
lunch OF sausage, potted meat and
jam, with white bread, brought from
Jerusalem. We ate our dainties with
some sense of guilt as the newcomer
produced his lunch Of dates and figs.
Dates and figs, he informed us, were
the natural food Of desert wanderers,
suficing to the body, stimulating to
the mind. The wheat, the flesh, above
all the alcohol Of civilization. were
mere lrrelevancies.
