A new schedule went into effect on the Pennsylvania Railroad on Sunday | and there are a number of changes | here, the most important of which | is two trains less daily,-in fact three ! local trains were taken off our sched- | ule but one was substituted in the | evening, which formerly stopped here and carried our evening mail. | Train No. 5562 east, due 7.52 a. m., No. 5568 east, due here | at 2.57 p. m., and No. 5575 west, due | here at 7.07 p. m., were taken off the schedule entirely. Nothing was | substituted for the former two but! as a substitute for the latter we get train No. 631, which is a thru train from Philadelphia and stops here at | 7.00 p. m. and also carries all kinds of mail. The schedule as it is will be all! right, the only inconvenience being | for those who work at Lancaster and | go down at 7.52 a. m., the train fol- | lowing being too late. The mail train | in the evening is a big convenience | | i | | here at | and one can now get home from Phil- adlephia without changing at Lancas- ter.

ROLLMAN MOUNT JOY MAN CLAIMS HE HAS MECHANICAL DEVICE THAT WILL PUT THE KI- BOSH ON SUBMA- RINES. Michael A. Rollman, of this place, who has invented a number of me- chanical devices, recently submitted to the government authorities a method by which he claims the dan- ger from the submarine can be com- pletely nullified. His plan is to pre- vent the submarines from issuing from their ports of refuge or base, and he proposes to do this by a ser- ies of mines electrically connected with ships acting as central stations located at certain points. The main principle of the plan is that no vessel can leave its base and pass to sea without touching one of the wires connecting the mines with each other and the central station, ingenious device the contact of a ves- sel with one of these wires is at once automatically communicated to the station ship together with the location of the outcoming submarine. mines may be exploded by contact or electrically from the station ship, and Mr. Rollman claims the mines in the immediate vicinity of the submarine could be exploded almost simultan- eous with the receipt of the signal, thus assuring the destruction of the vessel. In advocating this device, which has secured the approval of men high in the engineering world, he asserts the gabmarines would eith- | er be bottled up by it in their refuge ports, or be destroyed if they tried to come out. The: Sunday Philadelphia Ledger contained a page article illustrated on this new device. EE 500 Men Repairing Roads Superintendent Martin E. Brenner, | of the State Highway Department, is a busy man these days. At the last pay day he had on the pay roll over 500 men who had been working on the roads of our county, and he still has nearly the same number of men employed. The heavy rains this Spring made bad work on our roads, | and extensive repairs were required. { Much of the work now in progress is re-surfacing of roads. Superinten- Brenner intends making a record in road work this season. ER “Plain’’ Folks Not Exempt The members of the various re- ligious sects of Lancaster County, who have expected exemption from conscription will be disappointed. The clause of the act referring to them only provides that they will not be used on the firing line, but they drafted and used for some work at the rear of the lines. The exemption regulations will be made public in several days. mr er ll Qn That Will Help Some ¥ Washington, D. C., June 28—An immediate general reduction of from $1 to $1.50 a ton in the price of coal at the mines was agreed on here today by representatives of the coal operators.

RISHEL OF SOUTH ENOLA During these stirring war times many may think that these are the only times which try men’s souls. 54 years ago no doubt, the citizens of Mount Joy and of Lancaster county, were in a terrible hot stew when General Early’s Division advanced toward the Columbia bridge. For the edification of the Bulletin readers, I am pleased to favor you with a few notes of interest. This is so far as it relates to the destruction of the Columbia bridge. In June, 1863, on the arrival of the Schuylkill County companies at Harrisburg, they were organized into a regiment, the Twenty-seventh, P. V. M., and mustered into service on June 19.

OUR POST OFFICE BACK TO THIRD-CLASS The post office in this place, which, owing to the great volume of busi- ness was made a second-class office, fell back to the third-class July 1st. Under the second-class order, the de- partment paid the postmaster a salary of $2,000 and in addition two Under the third-class order the postmaster’s salary is $1,900 and one clerk at $800, the postmaster being obliged to pay his assistant out of his salary. We were given to understand that the main reason for the decrease in business at the local office is due to the fact that all our industries are very busy and none of them have been doing any advertising of any account for some time. Miss Mame Fenstermacher, who was a clerk in the office for the past thirteen successive years and also served as a clerk during J. B. S. Zel- ler’s term as postmaster, was retired by Mr. Freed on Saturday. Miss Fenstermacher was a very obliging and accommodating clerk and her many friends will regret to learn of her future absence from the office. Her vacancy will be filled by Mrs. J. Willis Freed.

Mrs. Harvey Witmer, of near Hos- sler’s meeting house, in Rapho town- ship, met with a very bad accident a short distance northeast of here on Saturday morning, whereby she was badly injured. She was on her way to the cream- ery here when her horse frightened at a small dynamite building which is being erected along the road a short distance from the residence of Mr. Samuel Myers. The horse ran off and in making the turn in the road the wagon crashed into a telegraph pole. The wagon was wrecked and Mrs. Witmer was thrown out. Her leg was broken near the hip and both bones of her arm were also broken near the wrist. She was al- so cut and bruised.
