nected with an system
which will prevent trains from
proceeding against cach other on

COAL TRADE BRISK -
Despite the scarcity of cars the
anthracite trade is extremely brisk
on the Lehigh, which in addition
to the shortage of men keeps the
force employed constantly on the
move. The outlook for the accus-
tomed holiday shut down at the
mines is not encouraging at the
present time.

Officials Change Its Eastern Ter-
mink! From Welden to Ran-
som
By a recent order of the officials
of the Lehigh Valley, which went
into cflect yesterday, the Pennsyl-
vania division of the road is two
and one half miles shorter than it
was heretofore. To people on the
outside Coxton has always been
looked upon as the eastern termi- |
nal of the Pennsylvania
but as a matter of fact Coxton
never was the terminal. The real
terminal of the division for years
has been at Welden, a small station
lying only a short distance west of
Coxton. As the mistaken impres-
sion which prevailed among the
people at large could do no possi-
ble harm the officials of the road
made any cffort to
correct the error.
