- "Passengers between Chicago and
' the seaboard," says tho Buffalo
bi'trier, will soon not havo their
present choico of fast trains unless a
scheme now on foot fails. One of the
east-bound roads has figured It out
and claims that passenger net earn
ings could be Increased 20 per cent, on
all lines by the abolition of all but one
limited train each and Blower time on
the balance. All, or nearly, all the
general managers and general superin
tendents of eastern lines favor this
saving, and unless the unexpected
happens it will bo made. The change
will probably be established about the
close of navigation, leaving the tracks
clearer for the immense grain trafilo
which will then go by rail." The
competition among tho trunk lines for
passenger travel has been so great
within a year that fast trains were fast
superceding the slower ones, and as
the extra fare was abolished on these
Trains tne rauroaus always ciauueu
(hey were run at a loss. Hence

It Is not surprising that the trunk

mutual ngreonient to stop the sharp
competition.
Major McKinley feels bo confi
dent of his olcotion as Governor of
Ohio that ho is willing to sparo some
of hia time from tho Ohio canvass, to
help his Republican friends In other
states. He has been to Iowa and mot
with n rousing reception there and
gave tho Iowans a grand speech. He
will soon go to Boston and address
the Homo Market Club. If there was
not a coulldence In his election in
Ohio that is based on strong grounds,
ho could not be spared from that state.
Ohio is sure to glvo McKluloy a rous
ing majority In November.
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat says;
"There are six states which have been
created since 1888, and at least five of
these will choose Republican Electors,
while tho Republicans will win in
1892 without theso if they carry tho
states they secured in 1888. That is
to say, Republican chances next year
are highly encouraging."

TOWN TALKER !
THOUGHTS ON THIS AND THAT
THREADED TOGETHER.
THEMES TERSELY TABULATED
Tho Tattlo of tho Tattlora Timely
Takon and Told Typograplcally
In a Tasteful and Tempt
ing Tono.
A few days ago tho Hehalp briefly
noted 0 swindling litorary schemo that had
been workod upon somo of our town poo
plo. Since thon it hnB boen loarnod that
tho sehemo wrb also suo:ossful)y workod in
tho surrounding patches. Tho swindlers
solicitod subscriptions ior a paper they
called the Family Friend, charging 83 for
a batch of thirty numbers and taking
whatever the porson called upon had to
sparo as tho first installment. To each
subscriber for tho thirty numbers they
promised a flfteon-dollar music box. Tho
gudgeons woro plenty nnd thoy bit
voraciously. In town the harvest was
great, many pooplo paying tho throo dollars
in advance, and thoy aro still awaiting tho
arrival of tho "boantiful imported music
bos." Yatosvillo pooplo fell into tho trap
by the hundreds and it is said tho sharpers
mado about ?Ct 3 thoro. Tho sharpors told
the Yotesvillo dupos that their namos were
Charles Miller and Edward Snyder and
said thoy belongod in Pottsvillo. They
gave tho same namo3 In town, but to somo
peoplo they pavo their placo of rosidonco
as Reading, whilo to others thoy stated that
they woro from Philadelphia. Tt Is said
they aro now working tho Ashland pooplo.
The dupos aro entitled to no sympathy. It
is about time tho pooplo of this region had
their oyc3 open. Thoy havo boon dupod
often onough to bo put on their guard, but
they seem woodon-headed and tho sharpors
havo groat fun with them. Some day thoy
may bocomo convinced that they cannot
socuro something; for nothing, unless thoy
steal it. Thoy cortainly cannot blamo their
homo nowspapers fo.- not giving sufficient
notice of defrauding schomes. Tho fault
is with thomsolvos. Thoy negloct their
homo papers for tho city publications, and
thus tho sharpers have n clear road. At
times wo aro almost tomplod to congratu
late a sharper whon ho gets in his work.
Pottsvillo was a busy placo the pait two
days. Tho work of preparation for tho
soldier's monument was conducted on an
elaborate scalo and at sunset yoslorday
tho town was completely onvolopod in
bunting, flags and streamors. Arrange
ments woro mado for tho recop'.ion of a
tremondous crowd. Buildings woro erected
on the vacant lot opposito tho Pennsyl
vania dopot for tho accommodation of tho
G. A. R. men and soldiors not membors of
tho organization. Provisions wore mado
for fooding 1,000 pooplo at a timo. Shen
andoah sent a largo crowd this morciug.
Tho Grant Cornet Bind escorted tho G.
A. K. men and not tho Phoenix IIoso Com
pany, as the Republican slatod.
Tho national banks of town havo made
their quarterly statements. Both aro highly
satisfactory. Tho report of the First Na
tional Bank shows deposits amounting to
221,801 88. Tho surplus and undivided
profits amount to $11,818 and tho timo for
declaring a dividend is threo months dis
tant. This Is cortainly an oxcellont show
ing. This bank has been in existence coven
years and during that timo It ha) paid
553,000, over ono half tho amount of Its
capital, in dividends.
Tho Merchants' National Bank, which is
not a year old yet, is also getting alort
woll. Its report shows deposits to llo
amount of 800,302.21 and J2.187.21 In un
divided profits and surplus.
It looks very much a3 if tho story of tbo
confession by a Hungarian at Hazloton to
the Grook Catholio priest of th's town,
which originated In tho HazhUm .- "net,
was a gigantic fako. It was probably one
of Jack McCarthy's nightmares. A 11 mi
ald reporter has tried to interview Rev,
Andrukowicz, tho Grook Catholio priest of
town, but e3orU to get near the gontloman
havo failed. Slnco troublo has arisen bo
tweon tho priest and his congregation nono
but his intimato friends can got within
speaking dlstanco of him. Ono of his
friends, who mot tho roportor at tho doer of
tho pnrson&go, said ho did not tbmk thoro
was any truth In tho tlory, but be would
not spoak positively, Tho Shamokin re
porters aro trying to locate tho places
whoro tho allowed confossor buried his
dead.
COLLIERY IMPROVEMENTS.
Good' Work at tho Kohloy Run
Colllory.
Glancing out ono of tho Herald build
ing windows ycslorday a reporter observed
a gang of workmen engagod on tho roof of
the Kobley ltun breaker. A visit to tho
colllory was rowardrd by an interesting
discovery.. Thebroakor and surroundings
aro undergoing a compldo overhauling
and in tho courso of a few weeks they will
presont an nppearanco almost now. The
work is anothor exemplification of tho
untiring induslry.and romarkablo business
tact ol tho superintendent, Mr. Thomas
Bnlrd. Not ono moment of working timo
has beon lost during tho courso of improve
ment, which has included tho substituting
of new stringers, rafters, chulo partitions
and framo for tho breaker for tho old onos,
now 8hinglos for the roof, now trestlo undor
tho lump and steamboat coal chutes now
shinglos for tho roof of No. 2 breaker, and
a now roof for the slope shed. Ono would
think it impossible to mako all these im
provements without the loss of some
working timo, but tho ingenious superin
tendent of tho colliery accomplished tho
work and not a broakor workman or ro
pairsuian roseived an Injury. Tho only
unfavorable feature about tho undertaking
was tho neglect of tho V. & It. Railroad
Company to furnish onough cars to help
keep tho chutos ompty.

TO-DAYS EXCURSIONS.
InsuQlolont Railway Arrangements
Mako Excursionists Indignant
Tho arrangements made for tho accom
modation of excursionists who went to
Pottsvillo this morning via the Lehigh
Valluy and Pennsylvania railroads wsro
such as to arouso considerable indignation.
It is apparent that unless the two com
panies mako arrangements lor more
harmony of action and givo raoro attention
to tho comfort of the pooplo whose
patronage thoy invito on occasions like the
excursions to PotUvillo this morning they
will in timo go begging for patronage.
There is a spirit of rivalry existing be
tween tho Lehigh Valley and Pennsylva
nia officials here that should receive tho
prompt attontion of tho head officials of
the respective companies. The Pennsylva
nia company must bo especially wldo awake
in this matter, oleo it will find that thu
short route ill become unpopular for ex
cursions botween this town and Pottsvillo. "
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
advcrtlsfd that a special train would leavo
its depot at 8:30 this morning. Tho G. A.
R. Post, Grant Band, forty members of the
Columbia Hose Company, and a large
delegation of the Rescue Hook & Lndder
Company, with a lari;e number of citi
zens who were not members of the organi
zations, assembled at the depot shortly after
oight o'clock. There was no special train
there. After waiting three quarters of an
hour the excursionists were rewarded br
their patience by seeing a train of six car?,
crowded to the doors, backing down to the
switch from tho Lehigh Valley depot.
This train was pulled up to tho Pennsyl
vania platform, but very few could get on
tho cars and threo hundred pooplo wero
left bohind to lake the regular. Tho latter
train, consisting of five cars, pulled up to
tho Pennsylvania depot at 9:30. Eviry
seat was takon and all tho paseongors wbo
gct on tho train at tho Pennsylvania dopot
woro obliged to stand up during tho jour
ney to Pottsvillo.
If tho Pennsylvania company wants to
hold tho town patronrgo It now enjoys it
will bo obliged to mako bettor arrange
ments for tho accommodation and comfort
of tho public. When it advertises aspecial
train from its depot it should havo ono
thoro and not sond tho train first to thu
Lehigh Valloy depot nnd lot the pussengors
ut its own dopot scramble for seats or go
without.
Scoros of pooplo said this morning that
had thoy not beon led to boliovo that thoro
would bo a special train at tho Pennsylva
nia depot thoy would not havo gono thoro.
As n consequent of tho bad arrange
ments tho G. A. R. Post, which was tho
primo mover in arranging for tho excur
sion to Pottsville, together with its band
and a largo nurobor ot its friends, was
really left behind. On tho other hand, tbo
Phoenix Hoso Company and Temperance
band .ecured seats by going to tho Lehigh
Valley dopot.
Another pointer: If the Lehigh Valloy
railroad officials continue to circulato
among tho poople on tho night beforo ex
cursions and sell tickets on tho streets tho
Pennsylvania company will suffer moro.
Peoplo who get thoir tickols in advance
will naturally orowd tho oars at the Lehigh
dopot and the people at tho Pennsylvania
depot must tako what is left.
An indignant gontleraon at tho Pennsyl
vania depot this morning said, "You may
say the Philadelphia & Rending Railroad
Company is Blow, but I tell you it is hotter
to bo slow and biuo than to mako a lows of
a thing. Hero aro most of tho P, &R.
collieries idle to-day, while tho iRhigli
collieries aro working. Tho Lehigh Val
loy Railroad Company is getting tho bene
fit of tho excursion, nnd is too stingy to
furnish oars enough frr tho passengers."
