Johnny Ray, aa an Irish comedian, has no equal. His part calls him before the audience almost the entire action of the play, yet no one tires of him.

iiis tunnv dialect ana sayings, bis facial contortions and the ridiculous shapes he gets into could be seen and beard for hours and one would not wearv. Emma Ray shares honors with her husband. The starB are supported by the strongest company yet seen in this clever farce-comedy. It appears that "Uncle Tom's Cabin" will never die. It seems to have lost nnnn of its nnrmlaritv urine the TJBst de cade.

No other attraction would draw the house this historic drama draws, no matter how cheap the admission price miebt be, "Uncle lours Uaoin" nas the attributes of a great or a masterpiece in proBe, or a vital product of bruBU or clnsel. it Das tilled its nagon at the fountain of youth.

RAILSOAD RUMBLINGS.

Itemi Whioh Will Interest Both Employer and Employe. Early Sunday morning, while his train was pulling out ol the Pennsylvania railroad yards and was crossing the Rock-ville bridge, Brakeman E. H. Bingaman fell under the wheels and was instantly killed. He was a native of Sunbury, 23 years of age and was married one year ago Sunday.

li II II The Pennsylvania is unloading heavy timber at the terminal points of their big bridge across the river at Rockville. It ib said that twenty-five car loads of timber are on the road to be delivered at the bridge. The timbers are from twenty to forty-three feet in lengtn and from twelve to fourteen inchea square. It ia said that these timbers will be osed to strengthen the big bridge. II II II The Maine Central engineers are having a lot of fun with people along the line who are not up on machinery and locomotive building.

A number of the engines have recently been fitted witb new tires on the driving wheels.and they are painted a color very much resembling rubber. The engineers tell the people who are inquisitive that the engines are being fitted with rubber tires to make them eaay running. The people having seen rubber tires on nearly all kinds of vehicles actually believe it. II ll ii Harrisburg Star-Independent, December 18: "Yesterday for the first Sunday in nearly two months the employes of the Pennsylvania freight and yard departments were not on full duty, and they bad a day of rest. It was stated this morning at the offices in the yards that the movement had set in heavily, owing to the fact that the yardB were shut down and the men were not out on the freight trains yesterday, many cars having been tied up along the divisions east and west of this city.

This was especially so west of Harrisburg. To day everything waB in a rush to get the yards cleaned out." II II II An important modification in the working of French railways is to be effected within the next two months. M. Baudin, minister of public works, has signed two decrees regulating the hours of employment and rest of certain categories of railway servants. Tbe object is to secure them an average working day of not more than ten hours, and a daily period of rest of not less than ten hours.

The first and most important class concerned is composes of engine drivers and firemen. In their case any ten consecutive days, counting from midnight to midnight, must not contain more that 100 hours of "effective labor," or lees that 100 hours of rest, or "grand repoe," as it is officially called. Each period of work must be comprised between two complete reets, separated by an interval of seventeen hours at most, and muet not contain more than twelve hours of effective labor. A holiday of twenty-four hours ia provided for every ten days on an average, but the interval between two consecutive holidays is not allowed to exceed twenty days. The second decree refers to the work of guards, conductors and brakemen.

Tbe provisions differ chiefly in their method of application. While the length of the average working day and the period of rest is fixed at ten hours also, in their case the average ia calculated over a period of fifteen days, instead of only ten. The whole holiday, too, is only once a fortnight. For the present no penalties appear to be imposed upon tbe companies for infraction of tbe various articles of the order. They are merely required to notify the state authorities monthly of any extra time they may have fonnd it necessary to work their servants "in consequence of unforeseen or accidental circumstances." 15 0THE2 C0UHTIES.
