-vandie Ludvik, son of Geo.
Ludvik of this city, who for the past
two and half years has been in the
O. S. navy aboard the warship Denver.
stationed in the PHILIPPINES. and who
was expected home on furlough this
week, writes to his sister that he
reached San Francisco on ST.
Valentines day and will remain at
the Navy Yard on Mare Island, 90
miles from that city for couple of
weeks, with his ship, which is about
to go out of active commission.
Vandie has just been promoted to the

which gives him an increase of salary

on the arm of his naval uniform. He

weeks.
The trains into Lancaster have
nearly all been from fifteen minutes
to two and three hours late during
the past week. AS usual all kinds of
excuses were given for their hardness.
When simmered down however the
irregularity always Seems to be caused
by the diminutie engines used on this
end Of the road. Monday noon the
Madison Lancaster train arrived at
the Lancaster Junction in good season
and it seemed that it would pull
through to Lancaster within half an
hour of the scheduled time at least.
But, at this point, the little engine
"played OUT and the train was full
hour late in consequence. The fact
that the noon train is late SO often is
especially great source of annoyance
to passengers, many of whom plan to
transact business here between trains
and return home the same afternoon.
