RAILROAD TRAVEL
WILL BE VERY HEAVY
Rash From the City on P. R. R .
and Reading Started Yester
day Afternoon
According to reports at the local
railroad stations to-day, a big portion
of Harrisburg's population will spend
July 4 out of the city. The exodus
started yesterday afternoon. Trains
on the Pennsylvania lines and on the
Reading railroad were crowded with
holiday visitors.
No special excursions will be run
to-morrow, except the usual July 4
trains to Gettysburg. Because of the
annual rush, railroad companies a long
time ago decided to cut all special ex
cursions for July 4. Both the Penn
sylvania and Reading companies offer
the usual reductions to the seashore
and other summer resorts. Many Har
risburgers will take advantage of this.
The sale of tickets from Harrisburg
to Atlantic City and other resorts yes
terday on both the Reading and Penn
sylvania lines was large. It Is ex
pected the sales to-day will reach
nearly 500 on both roads.

County Commissioners' Office Air
Surcharged Pretty Heavily
For Awhile
Two little storm demonstrations oc
cupied the attention of the Dauphin
county commissioners for an hour or
so this morning.
One was an echo of Wednesday's
tiff between Commissioners Isaac
Hoffman and S. S. Miller and Com
missioner John H. Eby upon the ques
tion of paying J. Meetch Stroup for
working on county duplicates. The
air was pretty heavily charged for
awhile but the flashes were purely
verbal. The other wasn't a storm ex
actly but a real vivid demonstration
of lightning and its effect on build
ings with and without lightning rods.
The first question got before the
commissioners when the warrant for
Stroup was before them. It was to
have been paid Wednesday, but Coun
ty Controller Gough and Commis
sioner Eby withheld their countersig
natures, Eby raising the question of
the young man's appointment. At to
day's session Major F. M. Ott, the
county solicitor, advised the county
controller to countersign the warrant
as he contended it was perfectly
proper and legal. Eby again ques
tioned whether Stroup had been reg
ularly appointed and whether the
minutes showed that this had been
done by resolution or similar action.
Commissioners Hoffman and Miller
then pointed cut routine work of this
character is merely included in the
minutes and Mr. Miller pointedly de
clared that the whole question was
based entirely on the fact that J.
Meetch Stroup had been selected.
Question of the Man
"Now, Mr. Eby, you know," said
Mr, Miller, "that this whole question
isn't raised by you over the question
of the work—it's because of the man
selected."
"You agreed among yourselves on
this man's selection? There was no
action of the board of commission
ers?" inquired Mr. Eby.
"Oh, yes," said President Hoffman,
"we admit that the question perhaps
wasn't acted upon definitely by vote
of the board. Such things rarely do
come up by so formal a method as a
resolution. That method isn't cus
tomary. There is nothing on the min-i
utes either directing you to hire the
men you did to compute the primary
returns either, Mr. Eby, or some of
the little printing matter you took
along up to Lykens to have done,"
pointedly remarked Mr. Miller.
"But there was no action by the

MAIUUED BY ALDERMAN

into Alderman Caveny's office, South
Second street, this morning and were
married.
i hoard on this appointment, just an
agreement among yourselves?" in
' sisted Mr. 13by.
"The action was taken by a ma
jority vote of the board." smilingly re
turned President Hoffman, "and the
majority rules, Mr. Eby."
"Nobody appreciates that better
than I," laughed Mr. Eby.
So the air was cleared.
Lightning Rod Test
The other electrical demonstration
was handled by J. H. Heckman. a rep
resentative of the firm of Dodd and
Struthers. Des Moines, lowa. The
firm wants to equip the courthouse
with a new system of lightning rods
at a price that will approximate SSOO.
The demonstration consisted of a ser
ies of tests by generated electricity
of the relative effects on buildings
properly and improperly wired. The
lightning flashes were real—and so!
were the resultant cracks. Some tiny
toy houses and lead figures of men
and animals were used to show how
the crash of lightning can be carried.
And as he experimented Mr. Her
man probably delivered the best lit
tle lecture on electricity and the meth
ods of operation of lightning and
lightning rods that the interested com
missioners had heard in many and
many a day.
