RAILROAD NEWS.
A director of the Lehigh Valley Rail
road company Is authority for tho fol
lowing: "Thero will bo thrro divisions, each
having a superintendent. Theio will be
no one In Mr. Blakeslee's pluce, yet.
Tho work will bo carried on by some
of tho minor officials. Thero will be a
few changes on tho coal branches, es
pecially among the minor olliciiils. There
will bo a number of removals.
"The company lias decided on a policy
for a year After tho unnecessary of
ficials and cmplojts uro weeded out and
the public must know that a tallroad,
llko any other corporation, must make
theso primings then the public will be
given to understand that bedrock lias
been reached nnd a permanent Improve
ment will result.
"The Lehigh Valley company is vit
Uiully Interested In tho prosperity of
every town and every person along its
lines, It cannot be expected to do busi
ness at a loss and It cannot bo ex
pected to keep employes who have out
grown their usefulness or who are un
able to meet tho changed business con
ditions Tho railroad of today Is no more
llko tho railroad of twenty years ago
than the newspaper of today Is llko that
of tho war-tlmo paper,"
"The faith of investors In Lehigh Val
ley Is strong, There aro 8,500 stockhold
ers now, about the sumo as In the duvs
of Abu Packer. The widows and tho
estates which held Lehigh stock hold
It, nnd ull tho sales In tho stock ex
changes simply icprescnt tho Hooting
stock of ten years ago,"
"Wo do not expect to pay n dividend
this year nor next year. Wo do not
expect to pay any dividend unless It Is
earned, We do not expect to charge olf
a good deal of dead weight beforo wo
get down to rock bottom. Wo have the
fullest conlldmce in Mr. Walter's man
agement. He has noted wisely In every
case as n sober thought will show. He
had a reason for every move, und It
was a reason that appealed to tho good
sense of tho stockholder,
"We have secured a good deal of the
gtalntrade from Chicago to tha sea-board.
Wo have not cut rates. In the contract
closed last week to carry a million and
a half bushels our rate was almost the
same as that of the Pennsylvania,"
"The most costly llttlo stretch of road
bed for a railroad In this or any other
country, I guess, "said a, contractor to a
New York Sun reporter, "is on tho" Car
bondalo division of tha Erlo nvlload at

Ararat Summit. It is only a quarter of
a mile long, but It rost between $230,000
and $300,000 to mnke It ready for the rails,
or at the rato of $1,000 000 a mile. The
lallrcad was completed In 1S73 and trains
had passed over It, but one night a quar
tet of a. mile of track and roadbed disap
peared entirely and a great,quagmiie oc
cupied the placo where apparently solid
ground had been before. Into this pit
10 000 carloads of gravel about 100,000 tons
nnd 600 hundred largo hemlock trees,
branches nnd nil were thrown In without
hiving mis' perceptible affect toward
forming a bottom on which a new road
bed could be founded.
"Then steps were taken by the con
tractors to find out tho depth of tho re
markable sink hole Four p.los, each 40
feet long, were driven down, one on top
of tho other,' beforo solid bottom was
reached, showing the depth of the un
stable spot to be lfiO feet. This fact es
tablished, a row of piles was dilvn, In
tho manner ot test plies, on both f.lus
of tho space required for the roadbed
They were driven close together, so closn
tltat tho work required nearly 8 000 of
them, Theso prevented the cscapo of
nnv thing dumped Into the Inclosure.
"For four months giavcl, rocks niul
forest trees, entire, were thrown into
the pit beforo the all-absorbing morass
was overcome. Acres of hemlock forest
were levelled to supply the trees, of
which 600 from 30 to 100 feet high, and
with a spread of brunches sometimes of
23 feet, were used. An adjacent gravel
hill, 60 fret high and covering four acres,
was levelled to obtain material for build
ing up this remnrkablo roadbed, nnd
rocks weighing many tons each wcro
tumbled Into the depths beforo a solid
way was made across It It Is doubtful
If in the history of railroad construction
Jubt such a task ever confronted a con
tiactor." Calvin Brodhead, an expert tallway
engineer, offers to build and operate a
steam road between Stroudsburg and
Bushkill If the right of way is given
fico of charge or without nnv expense
whatever to him, savs tho Mllford, Pa.,
Dispatch This Is a flatteiing inducement
und ought to meet with tho approval of
all who will lie benefited In that section.
As time advances, the prospects of a
railroad through the Delawaro valley
becoino more tosy nnd Editor Hart, of
tho Dispatch, confidently believes that
beforo tho dawn of the twentieth cen
tury tho steam cars will bo In opera
tion between Port Jervls and Strouds
burg, nnd possibly between Mllford and
Scranton over the hills of Pike.
For at least two years he has had
assurances, all In a quiet way, that It
was only a question of a few yenrs be
fore a steam railroad would penetrate
this section, but as so many railroad
schemes have for nearly half a century
been forced upon the farmers and other
residents of tho valley, almost every one
termed the latest venture a fake pure
oiid Blmple.
But as time wears on the people aro
beginning to .co tho error of their ways
and now It Is almost the general con
sensus of opinion that n railroad Is on
tho way and Is coming through nt rami
dete In the not far distant future.
Dr. J. H. Shull, secretary of the D V,
and L. railroad, wns nskid concerning
the o.ienlng paragraph and said that he
hud been uvvaro of tho offer for two
months past He added that In the case
of the present road being given up they
might make use of Brodhead's offer.

New York, March 2G. Tho feverlshness
of tho foreign markets nnd the fairy tain
that Spain had declared war which was
cltculated nbout the Stock exchange to
day gave momentum to the downhill
movement. Fairly large maiglns weio
swept away und large concessions on
value's ensued on every considerable of
fering. Sugar, Manhattan and,Metiopnl
ltan Street Railway weic hammered and
slumped nbout 2 poll ts. Other stocks
were shnrply depressed. Gradunlly the
muiket hardened on support given the
Ginngers and hcalped buying of the
specialties. A quarter of an hour after
tho opening the manifest intention of
l.ugo interests to sustain the list led trad
ers to cover enormous short lines nnd
prices bounded upwaids, tho short fran
tically bidding ngalnst each othor. After
an bout's trading prlios were well above

UNI CUININK AND TAIltU MAN
NKHS. The codo of differential politeness In
the home, ns taught by tho matron of tho
ensa, Is a very definite and exacting one.
No matter how hunger-panged u family
may be. It will not dine until all bo pres
ent or their absenco accounted for, and
as soon as one has finished eating, ull
desist. But It is albo nn unpardonablo
broach of etiquette If any ono Is so badly
mannered as to stop at his eating while
any other has his hunger still unsatis
fied. The Kunl cuisine Is a varied one, nnd a
dinner, as placed on the floor before a
family and Its guests, will sometimes
number a dozen plates, almost any ono
of which Is a puzzle to a stranger. Corn,
chiles, meats and vegetables aro the main
compounding Ingredients of most of tho
dishes, und the results nre generally sat
isfactory, although sometimes surprising
to an alien. The greatest delicacy In nil
the list, according to native Judgment,
Is mude of stuffed and roasted sheeps'
intestines, with their original and half
digested contents still remaining un
drawn. A yard or more of the entrails of
nn animal, with added bits of suet, ure
wound upon a spindle-like stick and
toasted The outside only Is well crisped,
and us tho eater slowly unwinds Ids
bologna bobbin during the course of u
long dinner he will frequently lean It
bi fore the hearth blaze or lay It upon
the embers to continue Its roasting. Corn
and wheat breads uro made In gieat va
riety, and tho yeast for their lightness
Is pit pared by tho women, who olrtvv
samp of corn
After being thoinughly masticated, the
corn is mixed with ilnu meal und watm
water, nnd fermented In small ollas left
standing near tho ilteplacc, when lime
Hour und some old yeast aro added, Tho
sa-ko-we, as JCunl yeast Is called, Is an
excellent leaven, If ono will but calmly
strangle his remembrance of Its molared
milting. By Its use, meal made from blue
corn will bo changed to green, or yellow
ni"al to blue, during baking. Edward
