About Lackawanna Trains.
Hi-ginning yesterday, wild cat and
.'iimmlt tiains of the I-ackauanna
were allowed to leave Scwnton with
out running orders, and summit trains
between Scranton and (-'bilk's Sum
mit and Scranton and rjould.sboro
were granted leave, to run ahead of
second class trains.
Summit linin conductois must cheek
the register at telegraph olllces and
ascertain about the second class trains
lief 01 u starting- out on their time, and
must keep out of their way. The ex
act time of the departure of summit
trains mut be registered, and tlia
other trains must caiel'ully note litis
and keep a sharp lookout for such
trains running ahead.
This arrangement will in no way
excuse the summit tiulns from pio
tectlng themselves, according to th
rules, in ca-e of stoppage or slo.v
sneed when on the time of second
class trains.

points to every railroader, and the fit
