The Pennsylvania Railroad's
Facilities to Atlantic City.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Com-
pany s facilities lor reaching Allan-
tic City were never so complete as
they are on tho opening of the pres
ent season. During the past winter
and spring the road-bed of both the
West Jersey and Camden and At
lantic has been greatly improved.
The West Jersey road has been bet
tered in various ways and rcbollast-
cd ; the track of tho Camden and At
lantic has been renewed on many
tortions of the line and track-tanks
have been added for the use of fast
trains. The equipment, both in lo
comotives and cars, is superior m
every respect, aud will be ample for
the comfortable conveyance of tho
largest midsummer crowd.
Tho terminal facilities at both
ends of the lino posses the advan
tage of superior location. The
Market Street station in Philadcl-
nhia. from which the fast trains of
both the West Jersey and Camden
and Atlantic Railroads start, is the
central seashore station of tho city,
accessible from all sections by di
rect lines of street-cars, and within
fifteen minutes of Broad Street sta-
tian by tho Market Street cable cars.
In addition to the central station at
Market Street, there is also a ferry
from Vine Street and a boat running
from Vino and Shackamaxon Streets
direct to the Camden side of the
Market Street ferry.
At Atlantic Cit.v passengers are
landed in the heart of the city, at a
point from which every part of the
city aud suburbs are easily reached
by the new electric railway.
Tho special excursion travel is de
livered at tho large and handsome
new excursion house, tho Sea View
Hotel, which is just completed.
This is the most commodious and
best appointed house of the class
on the coast, and offers every facility
that the day excursionist could de
mand. With all their facilities improved
and strengthened, with ample equip
ment aud fast trains, the Pennsylva
nia Railroad Company's branches to
Atlantic City will grow stronger in
tho favor of tho traveling public.
Fruits of the Traffic.
calmly surveys the frightful desola
tions, and, revelling in havoc, it
poisons felicity, destroys peace and
ruins morals, wipes out national
honor, curses the world and laughs
at the ruin it has wrought. It does
that and more. It murders the soul,
it is tho sum of all villanies, tho
father of all crimes, the mother of
all abominations, the devil's best
friend and Ood's worst enemy."
Almost everything imaginable
went down the Juniata. All kinds
of buildings, such as furnished
houses, stables with horses and
cattle in: straw stacks ami manure
piles with hogs and poultry on them,
roosters crowing and chickens
scratching contentedly; dead
animals, drowned in the flood, nil
kinds of loose furniture, all kinds of
store goods, lumber, railroad ties,
kc. The warehouse at the Thomp-
sontown bridge was seen going, al
so the toll house.

The following article has appear
ed in nearly all of our exchanges,
and is credited to Robert O. Inger
solL Mr. Ingersoll never wrote it,
at least he denies its authorship :
"Alcohol is tho blood of the gam
bler, the inspiration of the burglar ;
the stimulus of the highwayman and
tho support of tho midnight incen-,
diary. It suggests tho lie and coun
tenances the liar, condones the thief
and esteems the blasphemer. It
violates obligation, reverences fraud,
turns love to hate, scorns virtue and
innocence. It incites the father to
butcher his helpless offspring, ami
the child to sharpen tho patricidal
axe. Alcohol burns up men, con
sumes women, destroys life, curses
Clod and despises heaven. It sub
orns witnesses, nurses perfidy, de
files the jury box and stain the judi-
iid ermine. It bribes voters, dis
utilities votes, corrupts elections.
pollutes our institutions, endangers
tho government, degrades tho citi
zen, debases tho legislator, dis
honors tho statesman and disarms
the patriot. It brings shame, pot
honor ; terror, not safety ; despair,
not hope ; misery not happiness, and
with the male volenco of a fiend,
