"Farmer" Sued Up. Tho following article rccontly ap peared in the Washington Pout in its writeup on the Congressional body : One of tho muxt striking members of the Pennsylvania delegation is "Farmer" Kulp, of Shuinokin. At first sight, tho diNtinguished title of "Farmer" seems to have been at tached to Mr. Kulp because he is so unlike a farmer. Personal acquain tance and a casual observation of his cosmopolitan veneer and geueral finish confirm the impression that the Pounsylvanian is suffering from a misnomer. He is a type of tho oitvs bred swell audit the airehof a CUtb'tbru'tild. His age is only luirty- soven. but he is already rated among the lumber kings of Pcuusylvuuiu.

It went up to 100, where it stopped, Mr. Wolverton securing the property at that figure. Tho ex CongroHHinuu bid in tho interest of tho Philadelphia & Reading, tho largest creditors. It is said that tho directors of tho Pennsylvania Railroad have been as sured by an electrical expert that they can save 5,000, (MM) a year in coal bills by using an electric motor fed with u curreut produced by a gas engine.
