V OL. LXXIX. BOOM FOR SNYDER COUNTY, Haldwin's to Erect Steel Car Plant. J. Murray Africa, who recently took up options on farm lands in Spyder county having five miles frontage on the Susquehanna river, extending from a point almost opposite Bunbury to Belinsgrove, has made a statement to Editor Wagenseller, of the, Middle: burg Post, that the land is to be used by the Pennsylvania Railroad Comipa- ny and the Baldwin Locomotive Com- | pany for immense classification yards and the erection of a great plant for the construction of pressed steel pass- enger coaches and freight cars. Iu this statement Mr. Africa that the Pennpsy yards in Sunbury are incapable of accommodating the freight, and that it is the railroad’s purpose to build an linmense stone bridge over the Busquehanna at Sha- mokin Dam and run a double track freight line down the canal through Selinsgrove, Port Trevorton, McKee’s Half Falls and Liverpool to] Duncannon. said bed OLD CHIME REVIVED. Unlled Up by the Appointment of a Dis. { tant KHelative to Administer on the Estate-—~Money In New York Hank, To the credit of John Knitzier, an old German clockmaker, who with his wife, was murdered for his gold, in Adams township, Bunyder county, twenty-nine years ago, it is now learn- ed there are funds to the amount of $4,800, in a New York city bank. A movement was begun several years ago to ascertain what amount of money was on deposit, but it was not until recently that the actual amount was learned. In consequence of this fact, J. F. Eckert took out letters of admin- istration, at Belinsgrove, on the estate of Gretchen Kintzler, it haviog been shown that Gretchen, the wife of old John Kintzler, died last, she thus in- heriting the old man’s estate, and will promptly take such legal steps as are vecessary to get the money from the bank. The murdered woman was an sunt of Mr. Eckert’'s mother, aud there are uo direct heirs, Mr. Eckert will lay claim to the money for nephew sod niece of Mrs. Kintzler ax Bn yards will be sod Belins- | Large classification built between Bunbury grove, and south of them the Baldwin people are to put up their steel ca plant.

ANNUITIES FOR TEACHERS, Two Fropositions to be Considered by School Tenchers, The committee, which consisted of Misses M. E. Basset, Erie; Mary E.

Fleck, Tyrone, has drafted the follow- ing measure which will be submitted to the delegates for their opinion as to which would be the more acceptable : ‘“ An act providing for annuities for teachers of the public schools.” This bill provides that public school teuchers who shall have taught pot less thao thirty years, the last twenty of which shall have been in Pennsyl- vauia publie schools, may be retired on an annuity equal to one-half the average annual salary paid during the five years immediately preceding the date of retirement.

Being in sympathy with the gang Quigley has constructed a piaform calculated to deceive the voters. Even if he had no intention of fulfilling his pledges, Quigley might have constructed a platform from whole timber, but he selected to use sham planks, so lightly veneered—( veneering is the go just now )—that they will not bear their own weight. As a constructor Quig- ley a failure. He Las had the choicest to select from, but refused them all. He is the protege of the gang, consequently he ignored us few planks mentioned here : He failed to express himself on the capitol steal, because he is afraid to say where he stands. If elected Mr, Quigley woula be obliged to stand in with any move to thwart an honest investigation of the putiy-plaster-ve- nesred capitol.

The Quigley method is ruinous to the common public school system, aud is the cause of Centre Hall borough being sty one hundred aud fifty doilare on its appropriation, Townships throughout Centre county are similarly effected, and all because of the method adopted by gangsters to which Quigley subscribes and pa- rades as a plank in his self-constructed platform. 2. Increased Sate wid for the improvement and maintenance of the public roads Plank Number 2 is an ouirage on the taxpayers of this senatorial die trict. Six Million Dollars was appro! priated under the Sproul road law which Mr. Quigley agrees ( if elected ) to vote to increase. How many voters in this senatorial district have seen any part of that six million dollars? How many have seen a road constructs ed under that law ? Althougt several millions of this appropriation have been spent there is fot a quarter-mile of the road in Centre county, and only one or two miles under contract. The conditions are different in the wealthy sections adjacent to the cen- ters of population. There eight-thou- sand-dollar-a-mile-road is being built with a vengeance. The law was made for them and they are taking advan- tage of it. They are rich enough to construct roads under the Sproul law ; the rural districts are too poor to mee cept the proposition, The six million dollars will be spent, and the South side of Centre county taxpayers will not get enough of it to construct a bi. aycle track a half mile long. There is no guessing about the Sproul road law-~it Is In operation, the money is being divided out, but why does it notoome thia way ? Simp ly because the townships are tuo poor to build road that costs eight thousand dollars per mile. And this Mister Quiglay, the Re: of Dr. P. B. Fisher, D. ELECTED BY BCHOOL DIRECTORS, Bupt. Pub.
