To Use Phones on Local Branch.

Following closely upon the going
into effect of the new Federal eight
hour law in regard to railroad telc-
graphers, the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railway company has commenced
installing telephones in many of it's
minor offices, thus doing away with
the necessity of employing two tele-
graphers where one was employed be
fore. For the first place where thi S
experiment will be tried, the Cata-
wissa branch, that torturous snake
like road, which runs between West
Milton and East Mahanoy junction, IA
point five miles this side of Tamaqua
where it rejoins the Shamokin divis-
ion OF the Reading system.
Telephones, TO be operated by pri-
vate branch exchange, are now being
installed at Quskake These will
obviate the necessity of employing
three operators there and three at
Tamanend, 1t is understood that tele-
phones will also be installed at Lofty
At all points along the line, with
the exception of Danville, Cata wissa,
Bloomsbury and West Milton, it is the
intention of the company to do away
with the telegraph offices, and instead,
place telephones in the Offices. These
may be used by the trainmen, and it
will thus obviate the necessity of a
telegraph operator.

PENNSY'S VICTORY
IS A BARREN ONE

The Pennsylvania railroads victory
in the State supreme court in it's at
tack on the two-cent fare law is like
ly 10 prove barren one, so far as any
appreciable increase in its passenger
revenues is concerned. The fact that
the act was not declared unconstitu-
tional and the concensus of opinion
among legal lights being that the de-
oision applies only to the Pennsyl-
vania, leaves the other roads in the
State practically in the same position,
SO far as the rate question is concern
ed, as they were before the decision
was handed down.
These roads, pending some further
action ana review by the supreme
court. are not likely from present in.
dication to make any change in their
present passenger fares, which are
based on the two cent rate. 1t will
therefore be unlikely that the Pennsyl.
vania will go back to the rates, in eff.
feet before the law became operative
on October /, except. possibly, to non
competitive points. To do so woulC
mean even heavier inToads on its pass
enger receipts than any that would bt
likely to be made under the operation
of the law. II may be that the com,
pany may be content to rest upon it,
supreme court victory without any at
tempt to gather any of the fruits o
that victory by raising the presen
rates.
Ia fact, some months before such
thing as two cent rate law was ev
er thought of, prominent passenger
officials of the company discussed pro
priety of voluntarily reducing pass
enger rates of two cent basis, the op
inion then prevailing being that, will
the density of travel on the Pennsyl
vania lines III general, this could b,
done without any inroad to passenge
revenue and that passenger traf1i
might be stimulated thereby and tin
revenues thus materially increased.
Except in an informal way the mat
ter, it was stated, was not discusseu
at Tuesday $ meeting of the Pennsyl
vania' directors, President McCre
announcing that the lawyers still ar
wrestling with the decision.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way 20 cure deaf

infamed condition of the mucous lin

this tube is infamed you have rum
bling sound of imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation

ed to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which

FOUNDATION FIN
ISHED YESTERDAY

Whatever may be said of the new
electric light unit to be installed at
the water works it must be admitted
that the foundation on which it is to
rest is no commonplace affair. This
important branch of the work, which
was begun Immediately after New
Years was not completed until yester-
DAY. Everything is now in readiness
for installing the engine and dynamo
when these arrive.
An enormous amount of work was
involved in the foundation and the
cost of the eslatter, alone, will exceed a
thousand dollars. In excavating con-
siderably cover two hundred cubic
yards of earth were displaced. This
enormous cavity, II = feet deep, had
to be filed with grouting and con-
crete, slow and laborious process in
which heavy iron rods for holding the
engine and dynamo had to be inserted
at exact points as the work advanced.
1t isuot always the unexpected that
happens when you're looking for it.
