"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.
What a. trio of youngsters Kulp,
MeCall and Settle will bo on the
Republican side as an offset to
Bailey, Sulzer and McClcllau.

The Southern Central Railroad,
built largely ou puper, between I Iitr
risburg and Sunbury, was hoM at
Hurrisburg Saturday afternoon by
Sheriff Shellenborger. Thorn were
two bidders, J. F. Campbell, of Phil
adelphia, ami ex-Congressman Si
mon P. Wolverton, of Sunbury.
Tho former started t ho bidding at
$200. 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. As at the lust test an elec
tric engine drew tho heaviest load
ever drawn by a siuglo locomotive,
practical railroad mon uro beginning
to think that they may bo a good
deal closer to a revolution than they
dreamed of a year ago.
Pel sous passing RisHtr's mill, near
Bellaire Station, ou the Cornwall &.
Lebanon railroad, seldom know that
the property owned by Harry Risser
is in three different counties. The
mill is in Lancaster county, the burn
in Dauphin and the houso in Leban
on. The line runs through ti e house
and the bake-oven, so at the same
baking one loaf is baked in one coun
ty and the other in another county,
and although Mr. Risser eats in Leb
anon county he sleeps in Dauphin
county and works in Lancaster coun
ty. He also pays taxes in throo dif
fereut counties. ,
