Complaint in made that the' rail
roads have destroyed, ;or rendered iim
pussible, the public; roads north und
w est of Ridgway. The.supervisors of
Ridgway township shouldsee to it
that the railroad companies place the
public roads in as good condition as
they find them.
We clip the following from the
Gazette and Bulletin,', .the Stalwart
organ of Williumsport:
"Senator Hall, who has been re
nominated in the counties of Cameron,
Elk, Clarion and Forest, will be elected
of course. He has served both as
member and Senatoribefore, and gave
such satisfaction to his people that
they would not consent to his retire
ment at this time. His long experi
ei.ee is of great value to him as a legis
lator, and he is thoroughly conversant
with the wants of his constituents,
which is the secret of his popularity in
the district. It is a good rule to retain
good men in ofllce, and the people of
that district are to be complimented
for. not departiug from it."
Company Hof Ridgway, attended
the Bi-Ceutennial at Philadelphia,
last week. The company reached the
city at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning,

ful during the whole of the festivities,
and all who atteuded had a delightful
timo. The crowd was said tobe larger
than any time duringthe Centennial,
the hospitality of the city being taxed
to its utmost to accommodate the
thousands who were there. During
the pyrotechuical display atFarmouut
park on Tuesday -live persons were
killed and a large number wounded
by an explosion. Wednesday was

0. M. Montgomery.
Our candidate for assembly O.
M. Montgomery is a solid Republi
can and should receive the support
of the party. We know several De
mocrats who will vote for hiin. Not
being controlled or owned by the
bosses every Independent can give
iiim a vote and not forsake their
independence. He is an industn
ous, hard working man and will
therefore find sympathy and encour
agement among the sturdy toilers of
Little Elk. He is honest and would
if elected make a capital Representa
tive. He is the regular Republican
nominee and should as we believe
he will receive the votes of all Re
publicans. Stalwart Republicans
and Independent Republicans should
vote for Montgomery, and thus
show the united Republican strength
in the county. No matter what
you may think of the "Little Boss"
or the "Big Boss," remember Mont
gomery is not to be blamed for their
sins. He is entitled to all the Re
publican votes. We hope no Re
publican will leave the name of O.
M. Montgomery from his ticket.
He is deserving of encouragement
for his perseverance, his industry,
and his honesty. Let us all give
Montgomery a lift.
Vanderbilt Swallows a Very Formid
able Rival.
Tltusville Herald.
A. H. Steele, Esq., -received a tele
gram from au authentic source in New
York yesterday, that the Nickle Plate
road had undoubtedly been sold to
Wm. H. Vanderbilt. The great rail
road king thus becomes possessed of a
well built and splendidly officered
road, and lias at the same time dis
posed of the great rival of the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern road.
The Nickle Plate road extends from
Buffalo to Chicago, and has been two
yeurs building. From Buffalo to Bell
view, O., the road parallels the Luke
Shore & Michigan Southern. It then
bears off to the south until it strikes a
point on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne &
Chicago road, which it parallels into
Chicago. Its entire length between
the two cities is 526 miles, or 28 miles
further.
The road's right name Is New York,
Chicago and bt. Louis, but it was
nicknamed Nickle Plate, by an Ohio
man, of course, editor of the Norwalk
Chronicle, on account of the fancy
manner In which it wu9 built. The
lucky editor received au annual pass
for his happy thought.

change by a two-thirds vote of the
general assembly.
All elections for city, ward, borough
and township officers, for regular term
of service, shall be held on the third
Tuesday of Febuary.
Note. It would prevent much an
noying delay and inconvenience, if
each elector would announce his uajne
when presenting his ballot at the polis.
It is impossible for the iuspector to
call, but very few voters by name, on
the instant, and very frequently the
poor light prevents a recognition of
even those with whom he may be
well acquainted.
Note. It is always embarrassing to
the election offlciers to have anyone
outside the board present during the
counting off, and forbidden by custom
until it becomes forbidden by law.
Bosses: Hateful to All Patriots.
Missouri Republican.
All patriots, whether Republicans or
Democrats, are alike interested in the
demolition of "bosses" and "bossism;"
alike interested, but In much higher
degree, in putting a permanent check
to federal interference in the political
affuirs of states. We hope and believe
that on the morning of the 8th of Nov.
ember next the administration will be
considerably wiser and less happy than
it is to-day ; and that the final down
fall of "bosses" and "bossism" will
date from the lesson then taught pub
Uo servants in regard to their proper
sphere and vocation.
A Great Oil Syndicate.
Tltusville, Oct. 81. One of th
greatest bullish syndicates ever organ
ized and known to the nil trade will
be consumated to-morrow, November
1, by the parties concerned signing
the necessary documents. The scheme
is to enroll all Uie leading producers in
the oil country to discontinue the
drill for six months from date, to
May 1, 18H3. Among the largest pro
ducers who are forward ing this scheme
to completion are McKlnney & Co.
Union Oil Company, Tidewater Pipe
Company, John J.Carter, H.B. Porter
and others. All the parties concerned
are determined men and will carry the
scheme into successful execution.
OIL OPERATIONS FOR OCTOBER.
The report of oil operations for Oc
tober is ready and Is fully as bullish
as was anticipated by the trade. It
shows that at the close of the month
there were in the entire field 128 rigs
up and building, against 170 the
mouth previous, and 109 wells drilling
against 125 in September. The in
crease in the drilling wells Is undoubt
edly due to the better prices for petro
leum causing a partial resumption of
operations. The number of wells
completed during October was 116,
with a production or iouz barrels per
day, against 170 wells and 4549 barrels
production In September, the falling
off being in great part caused by the
sudden collapse of Cherrv Grove.
though there is undoubtedly a gradual
decline in all the til fields, The fact
that twenty dry boles were found In
dicates that the wildcat operator has
been seeking new fields or testing the
outer edges of the defined territory.
But eighteen wells were completed in
the Bradford field, with a production
of. 819 barrels, an increase of four wells
aud a decrease of sixteen barrels pro
duction. Allegheny cotaes to the front with
an Increase of sixteen wells and 183
barrels production as compured with
September, and Is the only field show-
ng an increase both in wells aud pro
duction. Although considerable ac
tivity has been tisplayed in Bald-
ridge, Butler county, and Cranberry,
Venango county, the daily output has
only been luereased 225 barrels,
against 298 in September. Cherry
Grove completed thirty-nine wells,
most of which were drilling in Sep
tember, and only added 515 barrel:
against the yield the previous month
of 8296 barrels. There are tbirty-one
wells drilling in that field, many of
which are not expected to puy the cost
of putting down. Both Bradford aud
Allegheny are pretty thoroughly
drilled, and little will be done in the
immediate future in those sections at
the present price of oil.
