A dispatch from Indiana to the Pitts
burg papers last week says: Surveyors in
the employ of tlm Pennsylvania Uailroad
Company are pushing still another survey
for a liiu along the Placklick. The engin
eers are now at work in this county, and
it is given out that the survey Is for ft line
from ElM-usburg into the Placklick coal
fields in western Cambria county. The
character of the survey Indicates a purpose
to make something more than a short coal
road. P.y running the road from the head
water to the mouth of the Placklick some
of the lest coal land In the state would be
tapped in Indiana county, and the now line
would have the addional advantage of
forming a junction with the Indiana
branch. There will lie a great deil of new
railroad work In the coal sections the
coming year, tecause of the leases and
purchases of coal and IuiuUt rights made
by eastern Pennsylvania capitalists during
the past four month.

must tie placejjn nomjuation and the
proper ?erlific Gf nomination riled w ith
the borough fa township auditors. The
auditors are fhen made responsible for the
proper printing and distribution of the
tickets.
The provisions of the law which apply
particularly to township and borough
elections are. In brief as fullows:
Any convention of delegates, or primary
meetings of electors, or caucus held under
the rules of the politicel party, or any
lxiaid authorized to certify nominations
representing a political party, which, at
the election next preceding, polled at least
three jiercciiium of the largest entire vote
for any otlice cast In the state, or In the
electoral district or division thereof for
which such urimary meeting, caucus, con
vention or board desires to make or certify
nominations, may nominate one candidate
for each office which is to be filled in the
state, or In the said district or division at
the next ensuing election, by causing a
certificate of nomination to be drawn up
and filed as hereafter provided.
Every such certificate of nomination
hall be signed by the presiding otllcer and
the secretary or secretaries of the conven
tion or primary meeting or caucus or
board, w ho shall add hereto their places of
residence, and shall be sworn or affirmed
to by them, liefore an officer qualified to
administer oaths, to be true to the liest of
their knowledge or Itelicf, and a certificate
of the oath shall le annexed to the certifi
cate of nomination. All certificates of
nomination shall specify:
First. The party or policy w hich such
candidate represents, expressed in not
more than three words.
Second. The name of each candidate
nominated therein, his profession, business
occupation, if any, auJ his place or
residence with street and number thereon,
if any.
Third. The office for w hich such candi
date is nominated.
All certificates of nomination when tiled.
shall ! open, under proper regulations, to
public inspection, and shal! be preserved
not less than two years in the otlice where
they have beeu filed.
Certificates of nomination for candidates
for township and liorough ollices and elec
tion of otllcers and school directors in the
same, shall be filed with the auditors of
the respective t jwnships and boroughs at
least ten days before the day of election.
The certificates of nomination lielng
so nicu ami oeiug in coniirmity witn tne
provisions of this Act shall lie deemed va
lid unless objections thereto are duly made
in writing within three days after the last
day for the filing of sueheertiticat es. Ob
jections as to form or apparent comformity
or non-conformity tolaw to certificates de
signed for borough and township oflicers
shall be filed with the auditors and shall
be decided by a majority of them. All
objections as to the validity of certificates
other than objections as to form or ap
parent conformity as heretofore descrllied,
shall In; filed in the court of common pleas
within the judicial district in w hich such
election district may be situated. In case
the court is in sessiou the judge shall im
mediately proceHl to hear such objections
without unnecessary adjournment or delay
and shall give suclw hearing precinlcncc
over all other business Ix-fore. him. In
case the court Is not In session, the judge,
on the presentation to him of the certifi
cates of the prothonotary that such ob
jections have Ik-cu filed as foresaid, shall
ininH-diately proceed to hear such object
Ions as foresaid.
There seems to be no provision In the
law for the withdrawal of any person
'vhose name has been presented as a can
didate for a township or borough office, at
least not within twelve days of the elec
tion. The auditors of the respective townships
and liorouelis shall cause all ballots for
elections of townships and lioroughs and
election oflicers and school directors in the
same, to tie printed and distributed, and
shall certify the cost of such printing and
distributing to county commissioners for
payment as part of the county election ex
penses. The auditors shall ascertain the
ollices to be filled and shall be responsible
for the accurate printing of the ballot in
accordance with this act and for the safe
keeping of the same whi'e in their possess
ion or that of their suliordiuates or agents
The duties imiosed by this act of assem
bly upon the auditors are entirely new and
it will doubtless be the part of wisdom to
hold all primary or nominating conven
tions at as early a date as possible in order
to afford ample time for filing proper cer
tificates and getting the printing properly
done. If Is thought necessary to have
watchers aiiooiiiled. the memliers of the
county committee in election districts can
suggest names of persons to act a such to
the auditors, whose duty it will be to issue
certificates to the parties suggested.

OUR annual Clearance Sales
havi become almost hous-iholJ
wonls, and the sale etgerly
looked forward to, because ev
erybody knows that when we ad
vert ise a grand clearance sale that
we mean business and genuine
bargains for those who choose to
to take them. Our bxz sale will
begin on the 10th inst and con
tinue one weeR. lhe following
are some of the departments too
heavily loaded for this time of
year and the goods must go:
First, Ladies'. Men's and
Children's Underwe r. Every
nook and corner in the depart
ments are filled with all kinds at
all prices. It will pay you to
buy Underwear and lay it away
uotil next winter for on the
morning of the 10th you will find
our Underwear stock in some in
stances reduced one-half.
The reason we mention Coats
next is because the cut in prices
will compare with that of the un
derwear. Many handsome gar
ments will go this winter at just
one-half tho marked prices. We
have found by many years' ex-
penence mac it does not pay to
carry Coats over to another sea
son and the wav to move them
out is to Cut the Prices.
The stock comnrises all the fashionable
shapes and shades in long, short and three
quarter lengths, plain tailor-made or fur-
irimmeu.
All kinds of Blankets, including Horse
Itlankets and Lao Holies. Comforts. lire
Woods, Embroideries. White Coods. Tabie
Linens, Towelings, etc.
