Xt Is Estimated That It Will Require nn Outlay on the Part of the Com pany of More Than $300,000 Per Year Improvement of Locomo motlve Firebox Designed by Cor nelius Vanderbilt, Jr Meeting of the Lehigh Vnlley Men Held In Qranahon's Hall, Plttston. Details , df the plan by which the PcnnHVlvnnlu will pension Its old em ployes ban been Riven out at Philadel phia. The pension fund Is to be s tabllsbcd January 1. 1900. and the rail road vumpany Is to contribute the money necessary for Its operation. A board of ollleers has been created and Invested with full power to make and enforce. rules. und reRitlatlons as to the care 'and disposal of the fund, and adopt such means as may be necessary to determine the eligibility of employes to receive benefits therefrom, and to fix the amount of allowance to be paid in each case. This fund will affect the entire force of employes on the lines of the system east of Pittsburgh and Erie. Kniployes 70 years of age and over will be considered as having attained the maximum age limit for active ser vice and will be letlrtd and placed upon the iiPiislon fund roll, while those whose ages range from 03 to Git years, and who. In the opinion of the administra tors of the fund, ha- ei ome phy sically disqualified or otherwise per manently, incapacitated, after SO or more years of service, may be either voluntarily or arbitrarily retired and pensioned. That Is to say. retirements may be both voluntary and involun tary, the basis of retirement being both age and service. The plan of pen sion allowance will provide for an amount In each case to be determined on the following basis; For each year of service a fixed percentage of the average regular pay for a specific per iod Immediately preceding retirement, with a minimum monthly allowance. Such employes as are members of the relief fund, unnn retirement, will be granted an additional allowance on a fixed basis In proportion to the amount they contributed while a member of the relief fund, such allowance being pro vided for out of the interest on the re lief fund surplus. It Is also proposed to amend the regu lations of the relief fund so as to se cure disability benefits at half rates, to be paid in case of sickness or disa bility to pensioners. Irrespective of the duration of the disability. It will thus be possible for an employe, when the retirement age is reached, to secure , a superannuation allowance from the relief fund, In addition to his pension allowance. An Important feature of the regula tions governing the pension fund Is a means of protection afforded such by the fixing of nn age limit for admission to the services of the company. This restriction provides that after January 1. next, no person shall be permanent ly employed who Is more than I!.") years of age, or who cannot pass the required physical examination. An exception to this rule permits former employes de siring reinstatement to re-enter the service at the discretion of the board of officers, provided they meet the. re quirements of physical examination and possess other necessary qualifica tions. The company may also employ men temporarily, regardless of the age limit and physical condition, for a period not exceeding six months sub ject to requisite extension when en gaged upon temporary work. It Is es timated that the fund will require an outlay on the part of the railroad com pany exceeding $300,000 per year. William Maxwell Has Resigned. The resignation of William Maxwell, superintendent of the framing shop of the Dunmore Iron and Steel company, at Dunmore, has been presented to President George U.

A wunmn is never so womanly, so beautiful, so happy ax when she is a mother. Yet motherhood is denied to some women and feared by others. Tlie fear of motherhood is rapidly passing away and nothing has done so much to drive it away as the record of Dr. Pierce's l'avoiite Prescription Dr. Pierce has held '.hat danger and pain at the tints of parturition were really un necessary and unnatural, and that if every woman were hc.lthy and strong: as Nature rurant uerio o mis miction would dc per formed painlessly and safely.

Lehigh Valley brakemen and conduc tors met In Granahan Hall, tipper Plttston. to take steps to have adjust ed some grievances that recently arose. The principal one of these grievances was created by the recent scale made regulating the salaries and hours of engineers. This scale was secured bji the engineers sending a committee to Hethlehem. The committee laid Its case before the proper official, who took up the matter and considered It, and the re sult was a satisfactory adjustment. Hut It seems what satisfies the engin eers does not altogether ngree with all of the firemen, conductors and brake men. They coniplaln that while the en gineers will work longer hours for a day's work, they will be paid for It. but that the conductors and brake men will have to work these hour's for the same nay that they received for ten hours' work. What transpired at the meeting can not be learned. Those who were there say that nothing of Importance was decided upon, but from another source It was learned that u committee was appointed to bring the matter before the proper officials. Wllkes-Iiarre Record. Cornellous, Jr.'s Engine. Satisfactory results attended a test run last Wednesday on the Mohawk division of the New York Central of an engine built on the lines of an Im provement in firebox and boiler, ac cording to plans designed by Cornelius Vanderbilt. Jr. The firebox is cylin drical Instead of pear-shaped. It can be removed without taking off the cab, and In less than half the time re quired In the type of engines now In use, as no cutting or stay bolts are required, and it is held In place by sllngstays from the boiler. The Idea Is not new, as it Is used In marine engines, but previous attempts In Germany and this country to apply It to a locomotive have not been suc cessful. Mr. Vanderbilt, who has left the motive power department of the New York Central, Is now In that of Chief Engineer Wllgus. When ho com pletes his training he will be a thor oughly practical railroad man, for It Is undeistood to be his Intention to become familiar with all the branches of the service. His designs for the engine Improve ment were made In connection with his work In the Sheffield Scientific school, and a patent has been applied for. Still They Come.

'Wnlsh, who served In the Ninth regiment for one year, and who re-onllsted In the i'nlted States Regu lar aervlo after leaving Chlckamauga, Is at bonvt from CDba" says the Wilkes Burro ttecord.- "He Is, now a member of Troop L, Second United States Cav alry, stutloned at Placetos, Cuba, where 'he has been doing service for the past seven months, Speaking of that coun try, he says the Cubans are bigoted and selfish and their hatred for the Americans and the American soldier Is plain to bo seen. They are treach erous also. "They are of the opinion that the Cubans could have whipped the Span lards and get vexed when told that the victory yos secured by the I'nlted States soldiers. In ninny discussions of this kind men have been shot down. He also remarks that In some smnll places the war is apparently not over yet. "Cubans want their freedom and want to rule, and this sentiment may be heard In all the provinces and the time, says Mr. Wnlsh, will yet come when the Americans will have a clash on this point If they do not soon get out."
