UNIQUE RAILROAD
TRAIN ORDER FOUND

SALISBURY. Nd, Dec. 27.-The
earliest train order on record in this
section OF the country hangs in the
Office OF the superintendent OF the
Baltimore, Chesapeake and Atlantic
railroad here. and is highly priced.
The order was issued from Berlin,
then the terminus. where was To-
Gated the general offices OF the
Wicomico and Pocomoke railroad,
which ran from Salisbury.
Although there was telegraph
line running from the Worcester
town to Salisbury there were no
telegraph operators on duty at the
intermediate stations and the orders
had OF necessity to be handed TO the
train crw prior to departure OF the
trains. Instead OF designating the
number Of the trains in the orders.
as is done in modern railroading, the
name OF the conductor was men
toned.
This order, which would seem
ludicrous to the present day rail-
roader. is as follows:
July 70. 1882.
&C. & E. Charley and c. &. =.
Mac. CCharley Marshall and William
McMullin). Charley will run until
he meets Mac, the nearest to station
will back back. r. j. H."
The signature is that OF r. J.
Henry then superintendent secretary
and treasurer OF the Wicomica and
Pocomoke railroad.
This order was issued nearly 40
years ago. at the time Eastern Shore
railroad trains were being run by
wood-burning engines with high
stacks.

RIVER NAVIGATION FINDS.

PORT DEPOSIT. Nd. Dec. 27.
The Susquehanna river is filled with
ice and navigation has closed until
the coming spring.
The coming OF the FIRST crop OF ice
in this stream is an epoch and events
are reckoned either before or after
that date. There have been few
years that have found the people OF
the lower valley better prepared for
the alternating period. All the year
has found employment for any who
cared to work and there will be
no lack OF life blessings in the COM
munity while waiting for the return
OF the blackbird.

THE THREATENED RAILROAD
STRIKE.

THE railroad union leaders
Saturday issued an order for a
nationwide strike to begin Oct.
Both. 10000 men are due to
quit then on II roads and 1885,
600 more will follow within IS
hours thereafter. Under the
program the tie-up would he
complete by Nov. End.
The men are striking because
of a reduction of Il per cent il.
their pay; the strikeSis the an
swer to the wage cut.
The employees ofsthe Seaboard
and Southern are scheduled to
walk out at 6 a. m. Oct. 30th.
1t is fervently hope that the
strike can be averted.
The following editorial in the
Greensboro Daily NewsI of last
Monday expresses the situation
very. clearly, and the Post.Dis-
patch is reproducing it here:
The country, figuratively speak
ing, sat up with a jerk, rubbed its
eyes, and looked again yesterday
morning; for no more incredible
story had been published for year
than the announcement that the
railroad men are going to strike
October 50. Most of us are still de-
cidedly increulous. 1t is difficult to
believe that any responsible union
head is determined TO push things
TO such an extreme. Yet there it is
before us in black and white: Il
strike is ordered to begin October
80 and to become complete Novem-
Der 3 Apparently the curse is come
upon us.
But what a time for strike! IN
dustry, just struggling to its feet
with hope of recovery, would be
knocked PROSTATE. The 100000 UNI
employed would be joined by most
of those who are now at work. Win
ter at hand could not be fought off
by the movement of coal. The poor
would presently be starving and
freezing in the great cities; and
everywhere suffering, disease and
death would be spread throughout
the land.
1T requires great cause to JUS
tify the bringing OF such misery
upon nation. Have the railroad
unions an adequate cause? They
claim that they are fighting for a
living wage. We are not certain
that even that would furnish them
justification for a nationwide strike,
with all that it implies; but a fight
for a living wage would excuse
much-very much. There is a ques-
ton, however, as TO whether that is
what the unions are doing. Even
il it were proved beyond the posi-
bility of a reasonable doubt that the
wages under the proposed cut were
insufficient to maintain an Ameri-
can standard of living, the question
would remain. This is the thought
that gives the American people
cause for doubling the claims of the
railroad men: have not the unions,
for the past 10 years, been trying to
