RAILROADS AND STRONG DRINK.
The Amendment Herald of Cleveland, Ohio, says :—": — " Mr. Taylor, superintendent of the Pan-Handle-road, as one of the great lines crossing Ohio is commonly called, has issued an order prohibiting the railroad men under him from entering a saloon. The master mechanic of the same line has supplemented that order by another to the foremen, requiring them to inform their men that an employe seen entering a drin king-place would be discharged immediately. ' The consequence/ says the account from which the above facts were taken, 'has been that one of the largest saloons in Dennison has been compelled to suspend business, and the rest are comparatively doing nothing. ( Orders similar to the above have been given by the managers of other roads, and so far we have not heard that any of them have been rescitided. The fact is that the result has been so satisfactory, and such a gain in care, safety, and a better standard of moralty among the men in the shops and yards of the corporations, that the movement has been pronounced a grand success, and is likely to become the order of things on nuiny of the leading lines."
