Relief to be Granted Sick or Injured Persons—Death Benefits to be Paid Workingmen's Relatiyes, The management of the Pennsylvania Railroad company has formulated a plan for what is known as a “‘relief depart ment,” whereby those connected with its sefvice may be associated for the purpose of securing specific aid for themselves and families in cases of accident, sickness and death, The credit for devising the scheme is due to General Manager Charles B. Pugh, who in his various capacities has become familiar with the labor and hardships of the employes, es pecially those running on the road, and has long desired that some plan should be devised whereby unfortunate railroad men eould be properly taken care of in the event of accident. In addition to the Pennsylvania proper and the lateral roads, the insurance scheme will also apply to the employes of the following corporations: The Northern Central Railway company, the West Jersey Rail- way company, the Philadelphia, Wil- mington & Baltimore Railroad company, the Camden & ntic Railroad com- pany, the Baltimore & Potomao Railroad company, the West Jersey Ferry com- pany, and the Camden and Philadelphia L Stenmboat-Ferry company. With the view of making the tax upon the participants in the fund as light as possible the Pennsylvania Railroad com- pany intends to bear all the expense ot ment, to pay the officers, ete. . A. Anderson has been made su- tendent, and Mr. Holmes D. Ely, sistant superintendent. Headquarters have been established at Trenton, N The operations of the new departms will begin on February 1, from which date applieations will be received, but the payment of contributions and the right to benefits will not commence until the 16th of February. In order that the c senefits mayv be as sm each *member derive all possible assist- anc sm his paymentsto the relief fund the number participating must be large and regular. In view of this and of the responsibility assumed by the company, it will he a condition that each person entering the servico or promoted in it after the inauguration of the department shall become a member of the relief fund and participate in its benelits Persons in the service at that time will, for six months thereafter, be afforded the privilege of partic i hout regard to_age or physicial condition. AS the privilege of participation will hereafter depend upon age and physical condition, taose now in the service may be debarred from participation if they delay applymg until ter the period durimg which the privilege is open to them. After the e piration of six months the company will discontinue the allowance of gratuities to cmployes, and all fines paid by em- ployes for dereliction of duty will there- after be added to the rehef fand. The superintendent will be aided in his labors by an advisory board, consisting of mem- birs chosen equally by the employes who are members of the fund and by the board of directors of the company, with the general manager of the company and the superintendent of the relief de- partment as ex-oflicio members. As to the plan, it is proposed to deduet from the wages of the employes monthly tain sum, to be graded according to the amount of the pay. The company will be the trustee of the money and r svonsible therefor for any defic which may arise from the fund proving insuflicient to meet the demands upon it The benefits will consist chiefly in ps ments of stated amounts to members dis- abled by sickness or injurics received n the di of therr duties; payments of stated amounts to designated relatives or other beneticiaries of decens, meun- bers; free surgical attendance for mem- bers di injuries in the discharge arrangements for fixed moderate rates, of which members may il themselves, for medieal attendance cascs of ordinary sickness; medical su- on over sanitary and other matters cting the health of members.

"The full name of the husband was Harris Cheesebro Burdick, futher of ten children, and up to the time of ¢ ment of this stor; ng a stainless reputation.

The ¢hildren had passed, a part from young mo ;hood s oung wom- anhood to middic age, and the youngest, »y Burdick, of Boone, from” yout to hood. The discovery that the father still living was only made last ¢, and it was so unlooked for that can hardly believe that it is am ¢ Mr. Eli . Burdick, an- ad enginoer, with head- quarter s working at the snow drifts with hisengine near Grand Junction. He was sitting at the window when an elderly man, e%ghfl' stooped, came up the road and passed. Eli was ruck that the man resembled his father, but supposing him so long dead, conelud: ed he w mistaken, However, he watched what house the man entered and asked the next passer-by if_one lived there by the name of Harris Cheesebro Burdick. Luckily, asit turned out, he gave the full name, for he was answered t there was o man by the name of Cheesebro, but not Burdick. That was enough, and Eli lost no time in :_:Mtinem the house the man had entered, Mr. Cheesebro was asked for and when he came into the room the recognition w. instantaneous; “‘Father,” “EIi,” w: ssed, and each was pressed in the oth- arms. Mutual explanations followed and Mr. Burdick boarded Eli's engine and the same evening came to Boone to meet Leroy. For twelve yoars he had lived at Grand Junction, twenty-two miles from Boone, where liis two' sons lived, and yet neither had dreamed that the other was so near all the time. The exvlanation of Mr. Burdick's long silence is, that he knew he was innocent, but supposed all his familythought him nilty, and <o he concluded to live and die apart from all reminders of the great wrong done him. When. he crossed the Mississippi river he dropped the last part of his name, and became Harris Jheesebro, and also to get entirely away from his former sclf, dropped the prac- tice of medicine and became a jewele For some time he traveled, repairi clocks and ches, and d visited Boone several times. Al twelve y ago he settled at G Junetion, where he has a small business now. It is a strange coincidence that just twelve years ago Leroy Burdick al settled in Boone. Eli Burdick eame here seven years ago, and for some time has been running and engine, pas ing and re-passing many times nd Junction, all unconscions that his father lived there. Mr. Burdi under the name of Cheesebro, had mar- r' and has one son 17 years old. s old, but robust, and don't look oyer & When he found that his surm.se s wrong, and that the children while respecting their mother’s honesty, had always sympathized with him thought him innocent, his joy was difli- cnlt to deseribe. The wife, a most esti- mable iady, died in Boone November 24; 1875, and, although never properly an- derstanding the matter, often said betore Iu{‘rdo:uh that she fully forgave him for all.” We give the story in full, for markable circumstances already the town talk, and it is better that the correet statements be known than that reports be seattered, garbled as they ss from mouth to mouth Leroy and Eli Burdick are both well known he Leroy is for man of the Chicago Northwestern paint shops, and one of the most respect- ed young men in the ci sl e Ben Butler Creates a Sensation, Washington Critic: General Butler, we are told, ercated a sensation in the supreme court yesterday.

He pulled ont of a box before 1 number of dolls, gaudily dressed in silk and satin, To the dresses of some of these dolls was attached the skirt protector, while the dresses of others were devoid of protection. Gen- 1l Butler, who w on the side of the 1 ntee, explained the beauties and utility of the device, and handled his dolls like one who was used to the business. He tenderly ssed them up to the bench now and then for the closer inspection of the judgoes, and it was with pain that he noted that those gentlemen knew very little about inf: for they frequently held the imit article upside down, to the great surp: and indignation of those articles and newhat elaborate expost of their lingerie.

She was arraigned in court under the name of Allie E. Ellis, with the 1ses given above, The charge against her was “‘being a person of evil life or fame; a suspicious person having no visi ble means of support, and unable to give a good account of herself ' Her counsel offer the plea of not gnilty, but in almost the same breath said she was willing to Teave the city. The courts readily agreed and the duchess departed. She is not more than 25, good looking and, when taken into custody wore a costly velvet walking suit. When she found the police had discovered her she made no defense, but talked boldly and unblushingly of her success in plying her trade of blackmail among public men in Washington. At least one diplo- mat here of high standing has given her money in the hope of sealing her lip Sho claimed to have made a_score of vie- tims among the senators and represent tives.

Story of the First T Run by Telegraph, Utica Observer; In 1850 the Erie road was in operation betw: mont and Elmira, The track was single one, such a thing as a double track being then unknown in the country. Two years before, after must discussion and opposi- tion, a telegraph wire had been up along the line. Superintendent Minot, who was a long way in advance ofithe time was a strong believer in the practicabilit of the telegraph as a facilitator of trans: ationon rai In the summer of passenger one - day on a train over his = roud, he was on, according to the printed timatable, was to meet a through train from the west at Turner's station, forty-seven miles from New . When Mr. Minot's train reached Turner’s, he learned that the east-bound n was six hours late, owing to_some ishap. Under the system of railroad x then governing employs the west bound train had to remain at Turner’s until the delayed train passed the station, In fact, the whole busines of the road from there west was at a standstill,on to the non-arrival of thejtrain at th 2 ent stations where other trains were an miufi it. Superintendent Minot saw once how ridiculous such a system was, There was a telegraph office at Turner’s and it was then the only one between that station and Jersey C The superintendent went to the office and _made the operator’s hair stand by sending a message to the station agent at Port Jervis that he intended to run _the train he w on from Turner's to Port Jervis on the time of the belated east- bound train, He ordered the agent not to let any train leave that station go- ing east until the train he was on arrived there. He also ordered the agent to tel- egr to_him how he understood the mes;: . The answer was satisfactory, and the superintendent went to the con- ductor of “the train and told him to start on with his train. The conductor refused to do so, and the superintendent dis. charged him on the spot. Minot then or- dered the engineer to pull out. The gincer said he would not take the r and in the argument which followed the superintendent pulled the engineer from the cab, gave him an clegant dressing out, and mounted the footboard himself. He ran the train to Port Jervis and sent it on west us for as Narrowsburg before it met the Inte train, thus saving the pas- sengers five hours, and settling forever the “question of the aceu of the telo- graph in running railro ins. ) THE DEAD LETTER OFFICE, The Present System—A Museum the Average Order, Among the many places of interest to be visited in Washington, per aps there is no other that is so absorbingly i esting to the great mass of vis) dead Tetter office and the muscum con- nected with it.

A simple motion slits open an’ envelope with unerring precision. The letter is withdrawn, unfolded, fold- ed, replaced. The next’letter the ' same. How fust the heaps of the examined letters grow, but the work does not end, for the Supply is never exhausted, but is constantly replenished as the letters arg passed on. Here, as in many other partments, the work is_sev weeks behmd time, and fresh approy tions are needed for more workers, The opencd letters containing sures of value arve restored to the sende when rrm icabla, otherwise the) corded i aws claimed i not reco; a ph L tr: to returned o the if pos=ible, and when th T be found, the letters are de- stroyed.
