Aug. 10.—At a meeting of the committee on the shop excursion yesterday It was decided to run the excursion Saturday, August 28, instead of the last Saturday In Septem ber. The latter date did not meet with the approval of the majority of the shopmen, so it was changed to August. The new date, the last Saturday in August, is satisfactory to all. T. Mac West, local passenger agent of tho Cumberland Valley Railroad, was pres ent at the meeting and gave the rates to Harrisburg—7s cents for the round trip, the same as heretofore. In all probability there will be no excursion over the Western Maryland rallwav to Baltimore, owing to the local agent not being furnished with rates. 800 TTRKS CAPTVRED By Associated Press Petrograd.
