They cite June 18 statewide sentiment shift, hinting at tests of saloon liquor and submarine-law tactics to overwhelm courts. Executive Committee reports drafting bills, with two measures tied to Sabbath rules and equity under the 1870s law, while Law and Order Society remains vigilant and ready to act on Sunday sales.

New Coke Railroad Explains Need for Line to Eastern Points
The Ohio and Northwestern Railroad, chartered by the State, will be built to supply counter facilities for coke plants at Smithton and support Eastern traffic. A Courtney, manager, treasurer, says scarcity of cars on B&O and inadequate facilities pushed the plan, and they have pressed Pennsylvania Railroad for support without success. The company owns about 1000 acres at Smithton for coke works and aims to boost output from mines and plants with the new line.
