The ticket agents of nil the railroad in this part of the state are much ex ercised over the fact that western rail roads have discontinued the practice of paying commissions on tickets over their roads sold by eastern passenger agents. The effect Is to greatly reduce the salaries of ticket agents, as their pay was to an extent legulated on the "' iiiu-i u I'l-ittiui amount or com missions would each month tlnd its way Into the pockets of the agents. The shutting off or these commissions has been a sad blow to the ticket sell ers, since it leaves many of them with meagre salaries. Not u few agents In this part of the state received from $30 to 1100 each month on western business. Pennsylvania Extension. It Is said that the Pennsylvania Rail road company Intends to make a num ber of Improvements In Cambria coun ty, and Cambria division is to be ex tended. For the past two months the engineering corps of the company has been spending considerable time In tha vicinity of Vlntondale. The line which the present survey will take will not be over eighteen miles In length, and it Is a positive fact that a ono per cent, grade can bo gotten between these points. It Is also noticeable that the new road will not contain many curved .and for quite a considerable distance after leaving Vlntondale tho new road keeps on the right lda of the Black Lick creek. The .Importance of tho new road to thcPenn8ylvanla Railroad company is that'll will, It la said, chorion the dls tanco' between Altoona and Pltlnburg nlmost thirty miles. It would open it short line across the mountains and Secured More Terminals. The Xoithern Pacific railroad has bought from Standard Oil Interests tlu; western section of the Everett and Monte Cristo railroad and Its teimlnals In Everett, Wash. It Is lmpoitant, as the Xoithern Pacific is expected to build up Eveiett and will come Into direct competition at that point with the Great Xorthern. The Everett nnd Monte Cristo (west ern section) extends from Snohomls-h to Everett and Is about eight miles long. The teimlnals are extensive. This lenson the Xorthern Pacific bought tho road Is to obtain more terminals for .1 growing Pacific coast business. company recently from Ira C. Wright man, the inventor, of Norwich, X.

From the Philadelphia Press. Recent calamities at sea have turned public attention1 strongly to the ever fascinntlng story of the ship that never returns. Yet the truth is that travel by water Is us afe, if not safer, than by land, a? one sees by comparing the number of accidents, and It Is seldom that all traces of a ship arc lost. In the list, however, of the United States men-of-war that tho ominous words "Never heard from" am writ ten against are the names of si ves sels. Tho first of these was tho namesake of Pennsylvania's schoolshlp, tha clghteen-gun frigate Saratoga, one of the few vessels which belonged to the colonies during the Revolution. After the ttealy of ptaco was signed rim sailed away from this port and dis appeared forever from nil human knowledge. No signs of her wreckage were ever found. She probably foun dered In a storm nnd went down with all on board. On July 14, 1R00, tho thlrty-silx-gun frigate Insurgent, Captain Patrick Fletcher, sailed out between tho Chesapeake Capes and was never seen or heard of more. Hu was it prUo taken from France by the Constella tion, under Captain Truxton, In 1789, after a hard-fought battle off the Is land of Nevis, East Indies. In August of the same year tho fourteen-gun brig Pickering, under Captain Benja min Hlllar, was last seen at Guad aloupe. It Is supposed that sho went down In a gale. She was a merchant vessel, poorly adapted for naval ser vice, nnd her guns were too heavy for her tonnage. The next of our vcrsels to vanish was known as Gunboat No. 7, Lieu tenant Agolblc commindlng her, and, sho put out from New York on May 14, 1S0B, to re-enforce our squadron In the Mediterranean during tho war with Tripoli. When a thort distance out of port her mast was sprung, nnd she returned to New York for repairs. One of tho greatest tragedies of our navy, however, was the loss of tho Wasp. Within five months during the war of 1812 this boat had taken fif teen English merchantmen and fought many a good light against British, men-of-war of greater size and strength. On October 1. 1814. shy hailed the Swedish bark Adonis, and took on board two of the surviving officers of th old gunboat Essex, de stroyed In Valparaiso harbor. After that she was never heard from again. The last of our vessels of wheh we lost all trace was the Epervler. When Commodore Decatur, in 1S15, dictated to the Dey of Algiers the teims of .i treaty with the United States, Lieu tenant John Kubrick was dlspached to Washington with a copy for the approval of our government. The brig Epervler was detailed for his trail". portntlon, and he was accompanied Iby Captain Lewis and Lieutenant Xelll, who had married sisters n few days before sailing with Commodoro Decatur for the Mecllteiranean, and by Lieutenant Drury and Lieutenant Yarnell, who had fought with Perry In the battle of Lake Erie. Just be fore this brig put out to sea Ensign Joslah Tattnoll, a watch ufllcfr nboaid of her. Induced an olllcer on one of th' other ships to change places with him, as he wanted to remain where thero was a chance of fighting. A few day a out the Epervler passed tho Straits of Gibraltar and signaled "All well on board." Since then she Ins not been heard from. It Is Interesting to know that Ensign Tattnell, who escaped tho fate of his comrades, lived to com mand the ram Merrlmac, of the Con federate navy.
