Several years past the citizens of
Ridgway have been alternating be
tween fear and hope In relation to the
building of a railroad from Alton, Mc
Kean county, to Fulls Creek In Clear
field county. Surveys have been
made, plans talked or, and at times
rumors have been rife that the con
tracts liiul been let for the grading of
the road. All the railroad building
has elided in talk until recently. The
last week iu June and first week in
July there seemed to be a storm brew
ing again in relation to the railroad,
and for once talk seemed to be taking
shape. All the idle men about were
hired, prices ranging from $1.40 to
$11.00 a day. Parties of surveyors
were rushing hither and thither, until
to a casual observer the woods seemed
to be alive with railroads and railroad
men. The wildest of wild rumors
were afloat. One day f00 men were
going at once to work on the grading,
the next a gang of Hungarians were
coming; then that Jay Gould was go
ing to build a road. Shanties for the
accommodation of workmen were
hastily constructed along the proposed
line from Johnsonbiirg to the mouth
of Toby. The Hungarians came, lots
of other men came, and on Monday of
this week the work of grading on two
railroads wo actually commenced.
A company chartered under the
name of the Howard Hill Improve
ment company, of which General
'i'hos. L. Kane, was the lender, bui'.t
a section of road se veral miles long
ending at Juhtisonburg, about nine
miles west of Ridgway on the P. it E.
R. R Recently the name of this
company has been changed to the N.
V. Lake Kric & Western Coal und R
R. company, (which name it will no
doubt, be observed sounds strangely
like the N. V. Luke Erie and Western
R. R. Co., still another company.)
Of the new company Gen. Thos. L.
Kane is President. The Eric read is
supposed to be furnishing the money
for tlie new enterprise, this supposi
tion is strengthened by the fact that
the Chief Engineer of the Erie road,
O. Chunute, was here a few days upo
looking over the road. This company
proposes to build u road from Bulls,
villc, McKenn county, which is near
Alton, and tin southern terminus of
the Buil'alo, Bradford d'- Pittsburg
road to Falls Creek a point on the lov
grade road in Clearfield county sixty
two miles front the mouth of Red
Bank. Then they propose to con
struct a branch road from Brock way.
ville, Jefferson county, to the Dagus
Mines In Elk county. They have
commenced grading ou Dickinson's
flat beginning near the house at
the head of Dickinson's race and pro
ceeding in a southerly direction down
the Clarion river. J. L. Murphy is
the contractor for this grading and
has a gang of twenty Hungarians do
ing the work under the direction' of
Michael Lit by. About twenty-five
rods of the road Is graded all ready lor
the lies. Tlie work of grading is be
ing pushed right along. This road
will be obliged to cross the Ciariou
river near the head of Dickinson's race
and ucross by Osterhout's tannery.
The Pittsburg and N. Y. R. II! Co..
n recently organized company un
building the rival mud. This organi
zation is following the surveying
nartits with gangs for grading, 'and
liavc done and are doing considerable
woik on tin- .ride-hill on the west side
of the Clarion river along from the
head of Dickinson's race to a point
opposite Osterliout'.i tannery. Tom.
Miller and II. S. Thayer each have
gangs of diggers' and Jim. Rhinos has
charge of a squad of axemen. This
morning when we pu.-sed along the
liny they wcie working as busy as
nailers. Ami all day long the sound
of axe and pick may be heard along
the rugged hill-side. If any of our
reader.) have doubts about ihe rugged
part of the story let them take a trip
from the Hull ot the Mountain shanty
near the bulkhead to a point where
Hunk Thayer has his gang of ditt
heavers. Ilisan impossibility to build
two roads on Ibis side-hill and us both
companies want lo run along there it
is iu a measure the buttle ground of
the tight. The Pittsburg ,fc N. Y.
road have the advantage as they have
bought ol Jas. .'.icl'ui liii, Ur. lsoiM
well and others ou ning laud along the
side-bill, not only tlie right, of
way but the land in fee simple. They
al-o have possession which is sup
posed to he uhcut nine points in law.
While id this place all is going along
peacefully as the gangs have no
chance to work side by side, at Jolin
sonburg there seems to be u great deal
of bitterness us the men of the respec
tive roads ure worKing side by side,
it was rumored this morning that out
side built a shanty close to tlie other's
line. The side opposed to (he ones
building bad occasion to remoe a
rock near the shunty and blew the
wLolc business up. This we give for
what it Is worth, und il may only be u
rumor.
The line of road between Ridgwuy
and Johnsonbtirg seems lo be most in
dispute, and is at present cccupied
more or less by both companies, q'he
Pittsburg it N- Y. company having
the road occupied by a large force of
men the whole ilislutice.
The Governor has but recently is
sued a charter to the Pittsburg und N.
Y. railroad company, which will con
struct a road extending f'ootii a point
on the Pittsburg it Western railroad,
opposite the mouth of Red Bank creek
Armstrong county, to the mouth of
Mahoning creek, thence by the Brook
ville fc Ridgwuy rail mud to Bradford
McKeun county. The length of the
road is to be 140 miles and it is to run
through the counties of Elk, Forest,
and McKcuu. Tlie capitul stuck is

at Pittsburg. Jay Gould has a huge
interest in this roud, ut least it is so
reported und it will undoubtedly be
pushed forward us rapidly as possible
to completion.
If the parties wish to build two
rouds we will not object, but we would
like to see at least one built. And
from surface indications one might
safely predict that a new railroad in
Ridgwuy is only a question of the
time necessary to built und MMdn the

A Losing Joke.
A prominent physician of Pittsburg
said jokingly to a lady patient who
was complaining of her continued ill
health, and his Inability to cure her,
"try Hop Bitters!" The lady took it
in earnest and used the Bitters, from
which she obtained permanent health
She now laughs ut the doctor for his
joke, but he is not so well pleased
with it, us it cost him a good patient.
