the farmer const nts to accept the position
offered the aei.t asks what the name is,
and then always remarks that it is a

liiLycle rideis w ill be interested in learn
ing that there is taik of supplanting the
popular rubber pneumatic bicycle with one
made of paper. The reason given is that
the latter is much less expensive than the
rubber ones. The 1'itjn r Trmlc Journal
says: "In fact, it is asserted that twopa-
iier tires will, on the machine, cost two
thirds or one-half what a pair of rubber
tires cost, and being less yielding the new
may last much longer. Its champions
claim that it will not break from constant
squeezing and inllatii.ii as &oon as rubber.
The PlilKbarcA r.anlrrn Railroad.
At a meeting of the promoters of the
Pittsburg & Eastern railroad held in Phil
adelphia one day last week. Vice President
Hicks made the follow ing statement about
the new road:
We shall begin the construction of our
line at MahatTey, or Keech Creek end.
t arly in April, or as soon as the weather
will permit. It will be pushed forward as
rapidly a possible, diagonally across In
diana sounty, and the work of construc
tion, although it will lie prosecuted from
the upper end only, would be finished
within 18 months or two years that is for
the main line. You see. to gt.t back to my
original proposition, it's tonnaee we are
after. That means that we will build
many spurs or little connecting roads
through the coal and coke regions, which
will feed our 115 miles of main line suffi
ciently, as we now-estimate, tocouiforiablv
II 1 1 J I.
The route? Oh. yes; as I have intima
ted, we have been feeling after the very
best opening through those generally
mountainous regions. Crossing the Clear
field county line very near Mahaffey. in its
south-westward course, the road will ex
tend as nearly as may be in uniformity
with that course, tapping the points with
greaiest tonnaae, until it bridges the Kis
kiminetas ami linally crosses ihe Indiana
county line and the West Penn road at
Saltsburg. and proceeds on down with
equally easy grades to cross tin; main line
of the Pennsylvania railroad at Latrobe.
From :here to West New ton on the "Pe
micky" the route is a!so an easy one; and
there we are or soon will lie, witii both
Vaiidc rhilt systems in Pennsylvania con
nected an-1 the easiest possible hauls for
long and heavy freight trains.
Our nreseni authorized capitalization is
..71111.11" m. We hall increase it. however,
as the necessity arises. Perhaps it may
be a 11 v a need to 1.000.000 f,,r id,,, n.-, miles
and blanches. You see our plan is to
operate it in sections. Just as soon as we
can complete a division of it that will give
siillicieiit tonnage wc shall run trains on
that division; then push further south as
each new division or section is ready w ilh
the freight.
We are not going to build this road for
fun. but fur business. Weexnect it ulti
iiialtly to be a double-track line. We
shall build all our bridges for two tracks.
Through passenger traflit: will lie a nec
essary outcome, if not a paramount aim,
of the new competitive system. Indeed,
we feel certain that in every way it w ill be
a railroad profitable to its projecting ami
to all its connecting lines.

On January 1, is1.!.",, Mrs. James P. Mc-

at the age of i"i("i years. When she was IS
years old she married her surviving hus

minated in a complication of diseases.
Every possible effort w as made to save her
life and the best medical skill was sum

This beitg the year of the triennial as
sessment, the several assessors should not
forget that their work sustains a very
close relation to the state school appro
priation. The act of assembly governing
this is as follows:
"That it shall be the duty of the com
missioners of each county to ascertain,
triennially, w ith the assistance of the rep
resentative assessors, the exact number of
taxable citizens residing in each school
district in their several counties, and to
certify the same under their hands and
seals of the oflice. to the superintendents
of the common schools, who is hereby di
rected to adout the number of laxables
thus certified to him as the basis of dis
tribution of the state appropriation,
which said certificate shall be prepared
and transmitted on or before the first Mon
day in June in every third year, com
mencing with the first Monday in June,
A. I)., one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-five."
It, therefore, becomes the duty of the
assessors to return along with their assess
ment the number of resident taxables for
school purposes. This return becomes the
basis for ths distribution of the state ap
propriation for the next three years. The
more taxables reported the larger will be
the state appropriation to the district.
Assessors should not miss a resident taxa
ble, w Inch is, as we understand it, all citi
zens of a district male or female who
pay tax upon property, occupation or
money. It also includes resident taxables
through undivided estates. For instance:
John Kaufman's estate is taxed but not
yet divided. There may lie one or more
female heirs, win), though not taxed in
their own right, are yet taxed through
their undivided share in the Kaufman es
tate, and should Ik; returned as taxables
in that district.
We know that much of the supposed
unjust distribution of the appropriation
has its source in the return of taxables by
the assessors to the county commissioners.
A full and complete return will insure the
full and just approrpiatiou. which now av
erages alMiut Xll to eyery taxable, and
omissions liecome quite a serious matter
w hen so much is at stake.

and township supervisors next Xovember,
w ho are to examine candidates for town
ship supervisors to be elected in February,
W'.; tor annual conventions of the town
ship supervisors; for the permunent im
provement of the roads by the use of stone,
wood, or other durable materia', and for
h;tiing contracts to property owners to
beautify and permanently improve public
roads abutting on their property, accord
ing to the uniform plans and specifications
of the road convention and supervisor of
the county. The other road bill makes an
appropriation of fl.ooo.ouj annually fur
road purposes, the fund to be disbursed to
the various counties in proportion to the
number of miles of public road in each,
and requires the road supervisor to measure
all such roads aud make sworn returns of
the same.
There will be road bills and road bills
by the score, and there will be good, bad
and indifferent road bills. from which the
legislature ill have to make a Selection,
but at all eveets there should be a new
road bill. That is imperative. The roads
of Pennsylvania are in a miserable con
dition. They are the merest apology for
roads, and this condition exists because
we have no good road law that will compel
the lieu in charge to keep the roads in
good condition. Give the stale this kind
of a law.
