Bailey handed down a decision denying the appeal of the Bedford and Chambersburg Turnpike Com pauy against the assessment of damages as made some time ago. Tho matter has hinged on the en tertaining or refusal of this ap peal. As the case now stands the only avenue left open for the 1 urnpike Company is to carry an apjeal to the Supreme Court o the State which convenes in liar- risburg in May. This appeal would be to determine tho right of the Judge to make the ruling as recorded above. In case the Supreme Court sustains theopin ion of Judge Bailey the case will be settled finally andthe Turnpike Company will be compelled to surrender the property and nc cept the award of the damages, Should the Supreme Court re verse the ruling of Judge Bailey I hen the case W ill be in the same condition as it has been for some time past and the matter will be tried in court as to the award. The Turnpike Company will ar gue for a higher award. The county has beeu represented in this case by Hon. D. S. Horn and Hon. John M. Reynolds. The at torneys for the Turnpike Com pany are Hon. John II. Jordan and Hon. F. E. Colvin. It is ap parent that sooner or later the Turnpike Company must submit t ) the people's will and abolish the toll gate system and abandon the road to the county. The best cgal opinion obtainable is to tiie effect that Judge Bailey's ruling will be sustained by the higher court The BoroiiKh Ticket.

A strong: crusade is beinsr waged against the sale of what is known as "stomach bitters" and Jamaica ginger at Osterburg, a towu up in Bedford county. Owing to the location of the place it is alleged that the 'bit ters" and Jamaica ginger are be iug drunk in largo quantities and that men and even school children become intoxicated on the decoc tions. A day or two ago a teacher dis covered four of his pupils in an in toxicated condition and when he investigated the matter he learn ed that the pupils had been drink ing "stomach bitters" obtained from one of the local dealers. The evil has grown until the people in that locality are so thor oughly aroused that the local dealers have been notified that unless they cease selling the stuff that criminal proceedings will be at once instituted. Some time ago a merchant in another portion of the county was charged with a Bimilar of fense and it cost him $1200 be fore he got out of his trouble. It is understood that the mer chants have signified their will ingness to quit selling the objec tionable preparations.
