The tio-foot rail on standard tracks has passed the experimental stage, and the roads which liegan using them three years ago are now ordering more of the same kind for renewals At first when the Pennsylvania intro duced the long rails, various objections were raised by experienced trackmen as well as by theorists, who declared that the additional cost of handling them, the lack of sufficient joint space t J allow for contraction and expansion, and the greater tendency to creep, were defects in the 60-foot rail which would be difficult, if not impossible, to over come. In spite of these objections the Pennsylvania and the Pennsylvania lines proceeded to lay the long rails, and now after carefully watching the sections of track where they have been in use under the heaviest traffic, the officials have unhesitatingly recomend t>d that jnore of them be ordered.

E will "continue to ; hold down their sand hill", in the woods bark of Middleton till the end of next week Co.-E. has been guarding farm premises lying along a road about two miles north of Middleton. Their camp is about a mile from (»en Graham s headquarters and the best pla -e to get off the trolly cars to reach it i> at the camp bakery just below the headqiiar ters. After the provost duty is com pleted the companies will return to the regimental camp, the most convenient stopping place to reach which is Race street in Highspire. Most of the But ler boys are in good health and tit for duty, bnt on Monday nearly a dozen were lying about their quarters suffer ing with chills and fever and unable to do any work. Some of them were much reduced in flesh and looked quite sick, so sick that camp was not the prop er place for them. A.? both Lieut's Mechling and Scott are home, Capt. McJunkin is without the aid of liis sub ordinates in managing and caring for the Company. If the 15th is sent away for garrison duty it is believed the married men iu the ranks will be given honorable dis charges and sent home. Some are still firm in the belief that the 15th will be mnstered out soon, and all suppose that if the regiment is sent to Cuba this winter it will be brought back next spring. Sergt, J. F, Moor# has returned tt camp again. Chas. Smith is stationed at the. tele, graph office as orderly or messenger. —Highest cash price paid for Buck wheat and Wheat. GEO. WALTER ft r=< >HB.
