He SnxKftsHt Kxtr geiitlon of CoiigreBi Onlj to Organize. The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Press says: -'Of all the schemes advanced for tho holding of an extra session of the Ufty-thlrd con gress that of Mr. Mutcbler, of Pennsyl vanla, seems to be the most acceptable. Ills plan Is to have an extra, session called just long enough to complete the organization of the house and the re organization of the senate. The com mittees being appointed, those having the important matters In charge, could be given power to sit during the reoess and thus be ready to report at the meet Ing ot congress in December. It has also been suggested that another ses ston of congress might be called as soon as these committees have com pleted their work, even if It were as early as September. Mr, Mutcbler thinks If It were agree In caucus that an adjournment was to be had as soon as the "committees had been formed there would bo no difficulty met with those who now desire congress to alt in extra session until the tariff and finan cial questions are disposed of." ttethleheiu Iron Works Shut Down.

Miss Annabel MaDanlel is now ixntniaster- nt this place. This will guarnnteo her retention under Demo cratlo rule. She Is attentlvo and obllg- ppstmasl orton. Wo noticed somowhero that tho portrait of Washington as It appears ou the two cent stamp is to glvo way for that ot Columbus. Now It strikes us this substitution is au outrage. The name of Washington is dear to ovcrr true American,- why tho Jiauie and memory of Coltiinbus should over- shadow that of tho great American Washington deserves explanation, Who Is responsible for llicproposcd change? Tho Philadelphia Times earnestly urges Congress to wipe out the present electoral system by prpsentlng an amendment to tho Constitution, pro viding for the election of president aud vice president by a direct vote of thepoople, making the Presidential term six years with ineligibility for Immediate re-election. This is what the masses want, tho presont system con. fuses tho average voter, he can't un derstand why this indirect way of vot ing. It Is to bo hoped that tho press of tho land'wlll take hold and agitate tho matter until tho change is made. The Doctor Parkburst reform wave reached Pittsburg and tho raid against fallen women of that city has cheated a feeling against such sumptuary meas ures, Tho crusade against that parti cular Immorality was hasty and will fail in bettering tho condition of the women driven out upon the streets or in Improving tho morals of the boys and girls of that city. Rev. D.C.Pot ter, an eminent divine of New York city, speaks of the Parkhurst re formers. "They seem to have the en- ergv of Ironzy, the vehomence of a geyser, the gesticulation of a Dutch wind mill and the soul of Don Qulxoto." He says no minister of tho gospel should bo found with the persecutor or those who brutally accuse. The Democratic party of Carbon Know united. Tho factional spirit is suppressed, bocause of nn earnest and Intense desire to obtain completn su premacy In the county. Three of the best county offices nro now iu tho hands of Republicans, nil the result of the inharmonious action of the Demo crats. Divided the party could not hope for success.

It was Cleveland and reform legislation, it was not a still hunt, but nn agressive campaign. The boodle vote was met and overwhelm ingly beaten by the honest, earnest voter. iThere Is but one 'applanation for Republican defeat, f ho people' were tired of Republican controll, and de termined to try Democratio legislation. If the Senate shall prove certainly Democratic, then the wish of tho peo ple can be satisfied, besause Democrats are intelligent, loyal aud determined, and wedded to the beliof that our gov ernment must bo "one ot the people by the poorle and for the people," not In theory, but in, practical every day legislation. For thirty years the Re publicans have dominated, absolute In their sway, now tho trust will be In the hands of the Democrats. Demo cratic supremacy will not mean hasty radical changes, no matter how much desired by the Republican politicians, The leader ot Democracy will move on safe conservative lines, but detcrmiu- edly in the direction of wise patriotic legislation. The "calamity, howler,' the obstructionist or the attempt to steaf senatorial seats -will not deter the Democrats from carrying'' out their promise of reform government. MUClICJIUiK.

I nIiIISTI: V. I AStemllit DesertiillnnoMI., '. .lljVar,l ' At I'fft-kerlon Where Mam ilen are J l-:iiiilnjeil. Tlie yards uf the Lehigh Valley Rail-1 road company, at Packertou, present a i busy scene aud aro the largest ot their j kind in the world, says the Bethlehem : Star. It is here that the long coal ' trains that drag their black lengtlis through the hills along tho Lehigh come from, their burdens consigned to the various markets of the United States. Just at this time of the year tne yarns are seen at tneir imsiost sending out tlie large part of the an thracito coal supply that the Lehigt region furnishes. There are about 100 tracks altogether in the yards upon which the trains are made up. The yards are the placo where order is got fen out of tlie chaos into which the cars aro thrown at the mines; the placo at wuicii tne coal is weigneu ami tne place whence the coal Is sent ou the wav to the purchaser. Tho Packertou rards beuiu about a mile or so below Mauch Chunk and extend for about two miles until their. tracks all end iu the two main lines that form the Lehigh Valley railroad Ou one side Is a high liluir, upon which the town of Packertou is located and ou the other Is tlie Lehigh river. Tlie arrival of the coal trains at the yards from the mines and their disposal is an interesting work, and a Star repot -ter spent part of an afternoon there a tew days ago, watching it, nnd picked up some points regarding It. lie was accompanied by O. W. Ilarleruau, tho trainmaster ot the Lehigh division, who knows every foot ot the division aud all its sidetracks just the same as a child knows its prlner. He Intro duced the repoiter to those in charge of the yard and assisted him in getting Ids itifermatiou. When the coal tiaius nrrlvo from tho mines they are att irked by a small army of Inspectors who go over them, aud under them for that, matter, and put lu tho best of repair any needing It. No car Is allowed to go out of the yard that Is not lu perfect condition. After tho cars aro inspected they are weighed. This Is tho most Interesting part of all the handliugthoy go tlu ough, The scales are located ut tho toot of tho hill at tlie upper end of the yard. They are 123 feet long and one track passos over them. All the coal that leaves tho yard passes over these scales, A shifting engine is attached to u train of tho cars and they are "flyed" dowu the track across the scales. Thero are brakomon who "cut" thoj-ars of each shipment and as they pass over the scales their weight is recorded by tho weigner wno sits in the little bullillng, When the weigher announces tho weight the clerks nut the figures down in pencil in a book provided for the purpose. One of the clerks, who at. tends to the tear of the cars, sits at a large window and gets it off the cars as thoy run past. This taro Is deducted from tho total weight of coal. The cars are run over tho scales at a speed of irom eight to ten miles au hour, aud just now coal is being weighed there at the rate of 20,000 toll per twelve hours. Despite the speed at which tho the cars are ruu over the scales, there is hardly ever an error made in the weight, so perfect havo become the clerks lu the otllce. The tonnage is chocked up every day aud iu every In stance corresponds with that of the manifests. The tonnage Is telegraphed to the otllce iu Philadelphia, where it is received every morning before h o'clock. Eight men are employed in i no scales omce. Coal from fifty collieries iu the Wy oming, ueaver jviesaow, nazieton and Mahauoy regions is received at and passes through this yard. There are thirty-five men employed lu running the cars over the scales and into the various tracks. These men sit on the cars that make .up the shipment and,atter theyhave passed the scales, give the signals indicating upon which track they are to go. These sig nals aro given to a switchman below the otllce, who iu turn give them to the boys who attend the switches loading to the various tracks. There are in the yard iu which the loaded cars aro ruu ihe following tracks, all running oft at luterrals from tlie main scales track or "leader as it is called: Reloading track, upon which are run cars, con tents ot which must be reloaded into another by reason ot some defect in the first car; the hospital traek, which is used for similar purposes to the re loading track; Perth Amboy track, Metuchen track, Belvidere-Delaware track, furnace coal track, way coal track, South Plainfleld track, Bethle hem track, Bethlehem Iron Company and Lehigh Kino Company track. Port Delaware track-, norm I'enn track and Morris aud Essex railroad track. The coal for these Is placed upon the track named in order to facilitate its move ment. A record of the cars aud the tracks upon which they go is kept by a man who copies their numbers and destinations as they speed past him after leaving the scales. He Is, as must be imagined, a skillful and accurate penman. Un him depends a great deal a knowledge of the whereabouts of thenars. The yards will hold 4000 loaded cars aud as many empty cars. The latter are nlaced on the right hand side ot the main line ot the railroad going to the mines and tho former on the right side as the trains come from the mines. The yards are lighted bv thirty aro lights aud-six engines are engaged making un trains and drilling cars. There is a grade ot twenty-five feet to the mile In the yards and this aids iu getting the trains together, in fair weather, Aiiout titty cars per day are reloaded ou account of repairs beiug necessary. The engines that are used in "Hying" the cars over thetracksand into the yards have attached to them a car for the purpose of carrying the men back to the starting point after the cars are drilled. These cars are equipped with side bars which are used to nusli cars to which snfllclent momentum to get them ou their track was not t'lveu in the first "fly" It Is Iu the lower yard that the trains are made nn auit started for their destinations. Iu these vards may lie found some of the oldest employes of the Lehigh Val ley railroad, men who helped to build the road iu 1K"i and 18SG. For lnstauce there is Thomas Harloman, the dis patcher, w ho has charge of the move ment of all trains. He has been work ing for the company for II ft v. two years. having beeu an engineer ou the Beaver .Meadow road, wnicn tne valley alter wards leased, for nineteen years, He has been in the Packertou yards since ISCu. An old maul Well, no ludeed. He is big, strong aud vigorous and ap parently Is good for another half ceu. turv ot railroading. He has a sou. Thomas J. Harleman, whn assists him, wno nas ueeu iu tne yarus since uma. The father can tell Interesting tales of the evolution of railroading since the time he entered the life. Packertou yards had but three tracks lu 1801. now u is over a iiuuureu. wr. narie man is of a family of railroaders, all his brothers, sous and uephews follow Ing it for a livelihood. Another old timer is 11 M. Williams, the forward ing agont, who ts In charge of the shipments. He has been there since ltji , wueu ne was employed as a swiicn boy. He was gradually promoted and finally became assistant to Col. II. B. llerrvhlll. now deceased. He contluued in the position under F. B. Morris, and , when the latter was transferred to , Perth Amboy he became his successor. -Mr. Williams' rise is the result pf push j and merit. He has thirty four clerks under blm who work In the various departments. Two men, who are im j portant figures in the life of the yard, . are W. L. Stiles and W. F. Brodhead. I These are the men who weigh the coat . iv it files over the scales iu the cars, i They alternate with each other from day to night turn every week. Both nave ueen in tne yarus since isoi . i They are thoroughly conversant with ' the work. The reporter Is indebted to I Mr. Stiles for much of the information pertaiuing to the yard. Since the Reading's aoqulsitiou ot , the Lehigh Valley a part of the big round-house at Packertou has beeu 1 turned Into a storehouse, where are i kept all the supplies for the eastern aud northern divisions of the road. These are in charge of C. P. Coleman, of South Bethlehem, general store keeper. There are brauob storehouses at Delano, South Easton, Weatherly, Haalston, Wilkes-Barre, Havre and Buffalo, all of which are supplied from Paokerton. A mammoth new building, to tie used for storehouse purposes is being erected. It is of frame, '0 feet long, 70 feet wide and three stories high on ths outside, with a fourth storv in the middle portion.
