DETAILS OF THE PENNSYLVAN
IA'S PENSION PLAN.
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. Smith, and was ac

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

of centuries of corset9-of health destroy

of a niitural i.tatc but

for this purpose Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Pre

used with success

is the product of the
skill and experience
of a regularly gradu

Meeting of Lehigh Valley Men.
One evening last week a number pf.
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.
The Lackawanna road has called
another westrn lallroad man to do ser
vice In one of Its local departments.
He is Michael McOuIre, of Chicago,
and was with the Illinois Central road.
Last night he assumed the position of
head clerk of the transfer line at the
freight house.
Mr. McGulre, who succeeds J. R.
Lewis, resigned. Is n former Scranton
boy. He was born and raised on Or
chard street In the Twelfth ward and
Is well known in this city.

IS HOME FROM CUBA.
What a Wilkes-Barre Soldier Thinks
About Situation There.
"John J. '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."
