There is a growing sentiment in the

on Lehigh coal before long, because the
mines are getting more costly to operate
and many of them aro giving out. Some
attention is already being given to a sub

Road, whoso locomotives are bull'- for an

Tho Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has been experimenting for some time with
an automatic whistle, the object of which
is to give tho signal at grade crossing
whether the engineer is on the alert ornot.
Tho device is a very simple one, consisting
of a bar or leyer connecting with tho whis
tle and extending down to within an inch
of the track. At a point six hundred yards
from tho crossing a projection is placed
which striking against the lover, starts the
whistle. Even if the euglnccr is asleep,the
warning Is thus fully given,

other to uso an exhaust. The mechanical
difficulties hi the way cannot be easily over

been shown that fifty pounJs of exhaust

Is as effectual as seventy-five pounds of live
steam circulated by the pressure system.

The Biggest Tide-Water Terminns
The Lehigh Valley Railroad Company
intend, it is saldmaking some important
changes within the next few months. For
years tho Lehigh Valley ami Central Pall
roads have been lighting In tho Now Jersey
courts for tho possession of a large strip of
land running along the south cove in Jer

Lino grant. A eompronsWMwis effected
recently between the two cflfcanies which
resulted' In the suit, which had been
brought by tho Lehigh Company, being dis
continued. Uy tho terms of the compromise
the Lehign Valley secured sixty-five acres
of the disputed land, including a water
frontage of 1.550 feet and dock room extend
ing along the cove for a distance of one and
a half miles. Persons who aro In a situa
tion to know say that it is the intention of
the Lehigh Company to build a large union
depot on a portion of tills land nmj to
change tho terminus of tlio road, which is
now at the Pennsylvania liallroad depot, to
that point. Tho new terminus, it is said
by those interested, will bo more extensive
than that of any tide-water railroad In the
woild. Ground for tho now terminal is
now being broken. The property is occupi
ed by boat builders, machinists, and dry
docks, and tho owners of the places haye
been served with notices to quit tho premis

The canal fiom Mill Creek will bo filled In

No other preparation has won success at
homo equal to Hood's Sarsaparllla. In
Lowell, Mass., whero It Is made, It Is now,
as It has been tor years, tho leading medicine
for purifying tho blood, and toning and
strengthening tho system. This " good name

It would renulro a volume
to print all Lowell peoplo
have said in favor of Hood's
Sarsaparllla. Mr. Albert

employed as boss carpenter by J. W. Bennett,
president of tho Erlo Tclephono Company, -bad

which troubled ulm a year, when ho began to

less in size, and In a short time disappeared.
