ure in the submarine-hoat scandal at
Washington and was subjected to
the httercst Of personal attacks dur.
ing his campaign for the governor

political surprise. .l.w
The Republican leaders insist that
President Roosevelt consented TO his

For more than a week past the B.
G. o. engineers have been surveying
about Adamston. 1t mas been learned
on good authority that the ground now
occupied by the Adamston glass works
and great amount Of property ad-
joining 1t Is to be used as a Y and
junction.
About 4 year ago the Hazei.Atias
Glass Company traded the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad Company some yalua-
BILE property held by It in Washington,
Pa. for the ground now occupied by
the junction and Y near their plant,
west Of the city. This makes, 1t nee.
essary for the railroad company to va.
cate that property at an early date,
hence the move Of the Y and junction
to the new location In Adamstcn.
By the new arrangement bridge
Is TO be built. across the West Fork
river at Llmberport to join the NJ. R.
and the Short Line divisions at, that
point. 1t is the intention to run all
passenger trains on the N. X. division
over the Short Line road between
here and Lumberport, II being the
shorter route and by that arrange
ment there will be no interruption In
the handling Of the coal from the
many mines on the NJ. R. Division. 1t
will deprive many Of the towns down
the river OF railroad service how
ever.
1t is n well known fact that business
Of the railroad company has long past
outgrown the possible facilities ut
Grafton. Unfortunately for that city
the hills are located too close together
and are too steep and Eiga to make it
a suitable place for a railroad center.
In addition 10 this Clari;sbn,g Is the
logical locataIon for the shops and
yards Of the company. It will maize
the shops ut Weston unnecessary and
will provide n place for shipping tie
engines and cars Of the Short Line
road without hauling them a long dis.
lance over other roads.

ties for second place Yesterdays per-

eyes seemed to be sharpened and they
were able to harpoon everything that
happened their way. The session end

Oakland just saved itself from a coat

Mercedes men played with the
ginger of champs. They overlooked
no chances, and with Spec Harkness

Mary's, who have the utmost confidence
in his tact and administrative ability.
The training rules governing the
Rugby squad at st. Mary's. which have
been put into practice during the last
two weeks, were formally approved by
the athletic association last night. The
rules cover every important aspect of
the daily routine of the players. In

bacco in any form. as well as indul-
