RAILROAD NEWS.
Officer P. F. Spellman, of the Delaware
end Hudson station in this city, has re
turned from a visit to Atlantic City and
Long Branch.
It is not generally known that the Can
adian Pacific railway for years past has
refused to sell Its lands immediately ad
joining Its station except upon condi
tions which preclude the sale of liquors
thereon. A clause In each deed provides
that the title shall become Invalid and the
property revert to the company In the
vent of K being used aa a place for the
ale of liquors.
The last thirty days tourist travel and
excursion business has jeen at Ms maxi
mum, and the transportation companies
dee aire they never before had so much of
the heated term traffic. Exourslon busi
ness to a nsver-failllng barometer of com
mercial conditions, and the encouraging
reports of the passenger side of the rail
road Industry give forcible Illustration to
the rapid advent of a prosperous period.
The Chesapeake and Ohio's eastern divi
sion will, within a few weeks, be laid en
tirely with a steel rati weighing let) pounds
to th yard, and much of the distance la
double track. The work of laying the
heavier rail Is progressing rapidly on the
western division, a rail weighing 75 pounds
to the yard being used, the curves and
trades being; such as to admit of the use of
lighter rail than on the eastern divi
sion. ' 1
A dispatch from New York yesterday
started that a report had been current that
the Reading reorganization committee had
mads a rough draft of a plan which would
provide for an assessment of $16 per share
cm Reading stock. Chairman F. P. Olcott
amy that no plan would be published at ro
early a date.' He could no say anything
about the probable amount of any assess
ment. He had not attended any recent
meetings of the receivers or reorganiza
tion oommittea, as alleged. F. W. Whit
trtdge, of counsel to the reorganization
eotnmiMee, says that there are no new
facts In the situation.
Rumors of an Impending strike at AI
toona by the yardmen, switchmen, engi
neers and other employes of th Pennsyl
vania, Railroad company wars denied at
th main office yesterday. The alleged
smut of ths trouble was a demand for
more wages. As a matter of fact, the
company pays ths highest wages for
ucb class of work and seldom has trouble
with Its men on that score. It Is a rarity
when ths Pennsy has trouble with Its
. workmen on the score of salary, and this,
coupled with ths fact that no report of
trouble has been received from the super
intendent of that division, Incline the
general officers to berleve that th rumor
started without foundation,
- Oscar C. Murray, vice president of the
Chesapeake and OMo railroad, stated In
in Interview with a New York Herald man
Saturdays "Every railroad man In the
country reals highly stated over the rail
road outlook. The restoration of freight
rates was on of ths most signal victories
for bona fids railroad Interests that have

A team of horses owned 'by Hughe,
the Plttston ale brewer, came In con
tact with a live electric wire at Taylor
yesterday and were badly shocked and
burned.
' James Flanaghan was driving the
horses, which were attached to a heavy
brewery wagon. Between Taylor and
South Taylor a troken telegraph or
telephone 'Wire fcecame tangled about
the horses legs. It had been highly
charged by coming In contact with the
feed wire of the trolley roud and badly
burned and almost shocked the horse
to death before the wire could be sev

Flun&ghan. the driver, and a younir
man who was on the driver's seat with
him, received a heavy charge of the
dangerous fluid that disabled them for
a short time.
The horse were taken Into Davis'

being taken to this city.
HEMP-EATERS' ORGIES.
Th Hashish Dreamers' Festival In North
ern Sjria-The Drug and Its Effects
Scene at ths Sacred Dane That Sur
pass the Wildest Cestsey of Any Opium
Dresni.
From the New York Herald.
Standing In the outskirts of the little
town of Latakleh. 1ft North
western Syi-ta, famous every
where for the, excellent tobacco
which takes its name from the
otherwise obscure and Insignificant
place and turning hi back on the ram
hackle houses, the flea-mvested cara
vansary, the malodorous bazaar and the
garbage-strewn streets, where the scav
enger dogs lie stretched out in the noon
day sun the traveler sees In the dis
tance, beyond a wide stretch of green
slope and alternate level, a low range of
hills, on which a soft purple haze seem
always to linger. Th hills lie between
the Lebanon, where the fierce Druses
dwell In their highland fastnesses, and
tha Nahr-et-keblr. "The Mighty River."
They are known nowaday of tne
Nosalre Mountains, the home of the so
called Nosairlyeh tribesmen, the modern
"Assassins." or "Hemp Enters," a they
should be designated from rhelr cere
monial use of hemp, the Arabic
"hashish.". ,
At th Fall Moon.
The festival ef gathering of the hemp
eaters 1 celebrated monthly, at the time
of the full moon, the moon then being
supposed to exert a specific Influence
upon human being. The sectaries
meet under a sacred oak tree growing
upon a hill. about equidistant from Lat
akleh and the valley of the Orontes. and
close to a tiny village inhabited by
some twenty families of the tribe.
There Is an enormous drum, some
three feet In diameter, standing at the
entrance to the village, a couple of
hundred yards off, and a soon as It be
gin to darken and the western slun ap
pears to have fairly sunk In the
waters of the Mediterranean, which Is
dlearly visible from the elevated hilltop
on which the Nosarrlyeh are gathered,
a deafening boom come from the In
strument and rolls over the mountain
tops like the rumble of thunder, rousing
the tribesmen to activity, and In a
moment they are on the alert. Lamps
are quickly lit and suspended to the
branches of the sacred oak among the
dangling rags and button and feather
and metal scraps that decorate It. A
square heap of wood is built up in front
of the tree about a dozen yards from it.
A sheep is brought forward by one of
the men, and the rest of the tribes
men then gather around, the lamps
throwing a dim light on their pic
turesque figure and grim countenance.
The Skelkh puts his hand gently on the
hea& of the bleating anlmail. It I
thrown down. Its throat cut, after the
fashion of the (Moslems, and In little
more time than It takes to write the
words the fleece I off, the carcass 1
divided and placed on the wood heap,
to which fire Is applied and kept up till
all flesh, as well as timber, is utterly
consumed. Now the Nosarrlyeh seat
themselves In circle upon the earth,
the Sheikh In the center, with an at
tendant on either hand, one holding a
liquid, the other a bundle of stem to
which leaves 'are attached, the leaves of
the sacred hemp plant. The chief takes
the stems In his left and the bowl In his
rttrht hand and slowly walks around the
circle, stopping In front of each man
present, who takes from him. first the
greenery, at which he sniffs gently,
then the bowl, the contents of which ho
sips. The vesel contains a sweetened
Infusion of hemp, strong and subtle In
Its action.
- What the rtweoctlnn Is Like.
The taste of the decoction I sweet,
nauseously so, not unlike some prepara
tion of chloroform, and Its first effect
are anything but pleasant, for it pro
duce a distinct tendency to vomit, not
unlike a strong dose of Ipecacuahna.
A soon as all have in succession par
taken of the drink, which Is termed
"homa," big horns are produced con
taining spirits, for the Nosarrlyeh are
great dram drinkers. The horns of
liquor are passed about , and In a few
moments the effects are apparent, fol
lowing upon the hemp. ' The eye
brighten, the pulse quickens, the blood
seems to bound mors actively In the
veins, and a restlessness takes posses
sion of the whole body. At this moment
the booming of a giant drum Is heard
aigaln, giving the signal for the sacred
dance, which Is the next item In the
ceremonial of the evening. From each
at the dozen parties or so into which
the clansmen are divided one steps out,
and the dozen individual so designated
form up against a gentl declivity In
the rear of them. Two of the tribe with
a "reba," one-stringed fiddle, and a
tambourine, seat themselves and start
a peculiar air in a minor key, which all
those around take up, clapping their
hands the while rythmically, and to
this ryrhm the? dancers, joining hands
as they stand, begin to move gently to
and fro.
Ths moonlight is full on them, show
ing up their white nether garment,
but leaving the dusky faces and dark
upper garments in the semi-shadow.
First the dancer move slowly, a few
steps to the right, then a few to the
left, raising the legs sedately. 7 The
musio quickens, and they quicken the
pace accordingly. Further to the right
and further to the left they go each
time, till the movement become a posi
tive allegrd. Faster goes the musio,
raster the dancers, until with a finale
furfoso, the men atop, panting and out
of breath, at th signal of the Sheikh.
He claps wis hands and twelve others
step out, and the figures begin as be
fore. When they are exhausted a fresh
set take their place, and this is con
tinued until each of the clansmen has
taken a part In the dance. In the con
clusion all Join hands and go seven
times around the sacred oak In the di
rection left to right.
Shared ny the Wives.
The solemn supper is now ready, and
Is served by the wive of th tribesmen,
who have been busy preparing It in the
huge earthenware dishes placed upon
the ground In the middle ot each group.
And the moonlight meal In the shade of
the sacred oak Is none the lea striking
by reason of It being dished by women
who wear In the'r sashbands a sharp
yataghan, of which, the handle shows
clearly, and a brace of pistols in the
girdle. The plates are peculiar. First
there Is fried liver, eaten to the accom
paniment of flery arrack the favorite
spirit of the hemp eaters. Then comes
"leben" a species of sour cooked cream,
with more "arak;" afterward the "kl
babs" of mutton, In slices on little
wooden sticks, like the familiar ware of
the cat's meat man; egira filled with a
force meat of rice, tomato, mutton, and
onions, and "pillau." Kach person haa
a wooden spoon to eat with, and the eti
quette of the tribe requires one to eat
much and to ct quickly, and to drink
as much a one eats. The appetite of
the Norstiiriyi-h are proverbial In Syria,
the usual allowance of meat being a
sheep for two. I can vouch for their
tippling powers. Scores of them finish
their pint horn of arrack In a couple of
draughts, taking a couple of quarts In
the course of their supper
The real business of the evening now
begin. The hemp, powdered and
mixed with syrup. U brought round In
bowls, together with the decoction of
the leaves well sweetened. Rach of
title tribesmen secures a vessel of ar
rackfor it quickens and heightens the
action of the drug and disposes him
self In the moat comfortable attitude
he can think of. Then taking, a good
spoonful of the hemp, and washing It
down with an equally good drink from
the liquor receptacle, he He or leans
back to allow It to operate. I take a
reasonable allowance of the compound
(It tastes very much like raw tea leaves
flavored with sugar water), and then lie
back to note the action on my own per
son, and watch, so far a I can, 'Its
effect upon the modern assassins
whose systems are seasoned and more
accustomed to the drug. Five, ten
minute pass, and there Is no sensation:
the men around me with closed eyes,
look like waxwork figure Another
ten minutes, and the pulse begins to beat
rapidly, the heart commences to thump
against the sides of the chest, the blood
seem9 to rush to the head, and then
there Is a sensation of fullness, as If the
skull would be burst asunder at the
base.. There is a roaring In the ears,
and strange lights, blurred and Indis
tinct, pas before the eye. In a mo
ment and quite suddenly all this passes
off. leaving a feeling of delicious lan
guor, and the Idea that one I rising
from the ground and floating in space.
Effects of the Irug.
The oak tree close by a pears to be a
mile off, and the cup of drink looks
a yard across, the size of a big barrel.
One's (hands and feet feel heavy and
cumbersome, and then feel as If they
were dropping off, leaving one free to
soar away from the earth skyward,
where the clouds seem to open to re
ceive one, and one long perspective of
light shines before the eyes. The feel
ing 1 one of estatlc restfulness, con
tented unconsciousness, suggesting the
"ninlrvana" of the Buddhist. This
mark always the end of the first stage
of hemp eating. The aphrodisiac effects,
the visions of fair face and beauteous
forms, the voluptuous dreams and lan
guishing fancies which the easterns ex
periencethese are the results of larger
and oft repeated doses of the drug.
Already the larger quantities of the
compound, repeated many times In the
meantime and stimulated by frequent
draughts of arrack, are beginning to
show their resulia upon the hitherto
immobile figures of the Noslarlyeh
round the sacred oak. Again and again
they seize the spoon and convey It to
their mouth, until the hemp craze Is
fully upon them. One or two stir un
easily; then another screams for "All,
All!" (their founder All), who hi Iden
tical, they say, with Allah. A half
dozen respond lustily, "All hu Allah!"
then empty the arrack cups beside
them. A few move about with out
stertched arm as though they were !n
the clouds trying to clutch the hourls.
whose Imaginary forms they see, and,
disappointed, srnk bark, after a fresh
supply of the drug haa been swallowed.
From the extremity beyond, where the
women are located, come the sound of
singing and of laughter and the rhyth
mic patter of feet upon the ground. The
ladles have been Indulging on their own
account, and the noise they make rouse
the men from their dreams. Three or
four Jump up from the floor at a
nlngle bound, and, seized by the dance
mania, begin capering away a for very
life. They Jig here and there, they
twine and twist, and wreathe and
wriggle and distort themselves, awak
ening their companion who; fire off
their guns, empty their pistols, loaded
with shot a they are, screaming ail the
time it the top of their voices, "All hu
Allah I AH Is Allah!" One on the right
capers away, his drawn sword uplifted
In the air, and his left hand extended,
threatening some Imaginary enemy. A
second Is danoing about, holding a bowl
of hashish In one hand, and waving his
turban with the other. A third, with
wlld eyes and fierce looks, rushes into
the center of the party, holding a couple
of pistols In his hands, one of which he
fire Into the very midst of the group,
blackening the face and singeing the
beard of a fellow tribesman, who Is
iquattjng on the floor, not yet out of the
stupor Induced by the hemp. A fourth
blows off his matchlock and he capers
merrily round, while his neighbor
stretches out his Angers for the arrack.
Fndofth Dcbaneh.
In the distance we hear the found of
the women's voices as they scream and
sing and dance In a noisy whirl under
the Influence also of the Intoxicating
hemp. Aga In and again the tribesmen
quaff from the hashish bowl, and the
riot grows wilder and madder than be
fore. It becomes a veritable saturnalia.
Sclmetars are drawn, yataghans are
flourished, half a dozen engage In mlmlo
combat, slashing and cutting at each
other with an all too earnest resolve to
draw blood a result speedily obtained
while yet another batch dance round
and round on their heels, spinning like
topi In play. Faster and furious grow
the corybantlo rout, and In their mad
exoitement the men tear the garments
from their bodies, throw away their
weapons, fling the turbans from their
heads, and, naked to the waist, with
disheveled hair, and eyes ablase and ex
tended arms, Utey continue their mad
antics, until foaming at the mouth and
bleeding from the nostrils they sink to
the earth and II huddled in heap,
hopelessly and helplessly Intoxicated
with the hemp. ; .

From S o'clock yesterday afternoon
until In the evening things were al
most as bad un the South Side street
car line as If a snow blockade bad set
In, through tho wrangling of crews as
to which had the right of way. General
Superintendent Robert F. Fox came
over and had to spend some energy in
getting the cars running. It first start
ed when two cars met between switches
and either crew refused to go hack.
The running of cars la governed by the
block electric signals, but no crew has
any right to turn on the Ulghts before It
Is time for that car to Wave .the switch
It is In.
An Idea of how "balled up" the cars
got may be Inferred from the fact that
six of the seven cars on the line got
together in one bunch and all headed In
the same direction. When the car suc
ceeded In getting back nearly to sched
ule time, a car got off at the Brook

excursionists of St. John' parish were
returning from Lake Ariel.
Ysmerday'a Excursion.
The prediction that the excursion of
St. John's parish to Lake Ariel would
be a large one was fully verified by the
numbers that left on all train until the
lust one, the regular, left at 3.24 In the
afternoon. A sa'fe estimate of the num

a hitch was visible in the handling of
the pecple from the grounds In the
evening. The excursion was a success
socially and financially.
