A new freight house is being erected at the junction of
the Sussex and Lehigh & Hudson River Railroads at Andover. The companies
have been compelled to do this for the purpose of transferring freight
from one road to the other.
A civil engineer of the D. L. & W. R. R. Co. visited Branchville last
week, and took observations of the country from that village to the Delaware
River. It is intimated in railroad circles that the D. L. & W. people
contemplate building a railroad from that place to some point in Pennsylvania.

The brakemen on the Sussex Railroad, instead of buying
their own suits as in the past, have been measured for new suits, which
will be furnished by the D. L. & W. R. R. Co. free of charge. The
company will give them two suits a year. It is a pleasure to note that
this company has taken this matter in their own hands, as it is evident
to the passengers that the men in their employ, if compelled to wear
suits, are worthy of having them furnished by the corporations that
employ them.

The air was blue around the Newton depot Wednesday
morning. Just as the trainmen were making up the 6:25 and 6:35 train,
the locomotive of the 6:25 jumped the turn-table, stalling the locomotives
for about an hour. Both trains succeeded in making connection at Waterloo
and Franklin.

Superintendent Reasoner has issued an order since the
explosion of the locomotive at Waterloo, "that no person, except the
road master, or foreman on their own sections, will be allowed to ride
on the engines on the D. L. & W. R. R. without permission from the
Superintendent or master mechanic." The order states that this rule
will be strictly enforced.
