Washington street.
The School Directors, it is reported, have
purchased four lots, fronting on Moore street,
in West Huntingdon, from S. T. Brown, Esq.,
upon which they intend to erect a school
building. What is to be the character of the
building we have not learned.
short distance above M'Veytown, one day
last week, a spark from a locomotive was
communicated to a car containing nearly sev
teuty barrels of oil. The car with it, and two
or three other cars, were destroyed. The loss
was about six thousand dollars.
The pupils of the Huntingdon Academy,
seconded by their accomplished teacher, Prof.
James A. Stephens, held a pic-nic in Burch
inell's Grove, on Saturday. Everything pass
ed off pleasantly. The Academy has closed
until the first Monday in September.
Bottled beer is no doubt a good thing, but
it would be a very disagreeable affair to be
carrying several bottles, beneath your arm,
wrapped up in paper, and have one explode
just as you are passing a crowd of people com
ing home from church on Sunday. It would
be provoking.
On Friday last three stock cars took fire
below the gas works, and a cry of "fire" was
raised which brought out the fire company
very promptly. The engine was soon in po
sition and a stream of water was turned upon
the flames. The lower portions of the cars were
saved so thtit very little delay was experienced.
The boys did splendid work, and we have
no doubt the Pennsylvania Company will ap
preciate their services.
The chronic grumblers at the taxes are busy
plying their vocation. Taxes are always too
high for them. If they lived in Mexico or
portions of Italy where both life and property
are at the mercy, in a great measure, of bri
gands, they would sayvery little about paying
a few dollars to live in perfect security. Pay
your taxes and be thankful ! There is no
country in the world where you could enjoy
so much personal liberty at so little expense
for protection.
A few days ago while on a visit to Hunting
don, a flourishing town on the Juniata, this
State, we had occasion to visit a very old
cemetery, where we noticed a moss-covered
head stone, the letters upon which were so
nearly obliterated that the services of an "Old
Mortality" seemed to be needed to rechisel
the words. Patient study, however, enabled
us to decipher the tale it meant to tell : "Here
lieth the body of Amy Major, who departed
this life March 26, 1792. Suffice it to say she
was au honest woman—the second noblest
work of God."—Scranton Times.
Mr. E. L. Russ, who was for a number of years
connected with the Harrisburg Telegraph Job
Office, and who is experienced and thoroughly
skilled in his profession, is new in charge of
the JOURNAL Job Office, and is prepared to do
all kinds of Job work in a manner that cannot
he surpassed by any of the regular city Job
Offices. This is the first time in the history of
the printing business in this place, that one who
has spent much of a lifetime, exclusively de
voted to Job Printing, has been engaged here.
We hope this liberal enterprise will be duly
appreciated by our people, and that all those
who have Job work to do will give us a I
trial. tf.
There was a large circus at Everett the oth
er day. A small boy, prior to its coming, boy
like, importuned his mother for a quarter to
go, but his Ma couldn't see it ; however, she
proposed to bake him slot of pies and in case
he sold them he was to have the money. It
was a bargain. The pies were baked, the
show came to town, the boyperambnlated the
streets, but no one appeared to be hungry.—
The hour arrived for the performance. The
boy presented himself at the entrance and the
showman demanded his quarter. The boy
proposed to go in and sell his pies and come
back and pay his admission fee. This was
satisfactory. Once inside he strode up to
where the large elephant was chained, and
putting his basket to one side he stood and
gazed listlessly at the huge creature. In the
meantime a baby elephant scented his basket
he f <lns; was tint as.+Japt.,
til he was scooping up the last morsel. The
boy, frightened out of his wits, seized his
basket and made for the entrance. The show
man stopped him and demanded his quarter.
The boy, seeing how the case stood, explained
"The little elephant just put out his gum hose
and gobbled them all up I"
It was down at Allenville where a couple of
gay and festive grand-sons go to visit an aged
grandmother, whose cellar is always amply
supplied with the best of wine, that the fol
lowing was perpetrated : A few weeks since
these noble scions visited their indulgent grand
pa-ri-ent, anticipating a great outpouring of
the tempting fluid. Much to their disappoint
ment, however, the kind old lady never said
wine once. They may have thought it awful
long between drinks. Certainly her indiffer
ence was becoming intolerable. Others, not
of the family, dropped in and were in the way-
Something must be done to break up the long
dry well. At last the boys determined to
make a raid upon the cellar and wet their
whistles. The one stood gnard and the other
investigated. It was as dark as Erebus. A
barrel was found with a spicket in the proper
place. This must be it ! An old dipper was
brought into requisition, and filled with the
fluid. Then the thirsty fellows began to strive
for the first drink. The one snatched a sup,
and the other gulphed down a half pint. "Holy
Moses, it is vinegar!" they ejaculated, simul
taneously, and frightened the old lady half to
death, who had just entered the cellar with a
candle from an opposite direction ! As soon
as she recovered sufficiently to speak she
wanted to know what on earth they were do
ing there, when she was quietly informed that
they were "Just t-r-y-i-n-g h-e-r v-i-n-e
-g-a-r !"
THE DARK SIDE OF NEW YORK LIFE
AND ITS CRIMINAL CLASSES FROM FIFTH AVENUE
DOWN TO THE FIVE POINTS.—The "Dark Side
of New York life" will be published in twenty
semi-monthly numbers at 10 cents, and can
be had at all news-stores in the United States.
The work will give a description of the dark
side of New York life as it really is; it will
confine itself strictly to the truth, and will
give a numher of the most interesting cases
which bear upon the subject of which the work
treats and which are taken from the Records
of the courts, of the notes of the detectives,
and from other authentic sources. The work
will prove to be interesting reading not only
to the population of the Metropolis itself, but
to the people all over the United States; but
it is not only intended to offer interesting
reading; its purpose is also to benefit the
reader while instructing him. Few only, even
of those residing in New York, know the dan
ger which surround and await them and theirs
in New York daily, aye hourly. Hundreds
and thousands of persons, living at a distance
from the Metropolis and coming to New York
on business have fallen victims to crime in
various forms, because they were unaware of
the dangers which beset them on their arrival,
and again: many people, living in different
parts all over the United States, who never
• set eyes on the city of New York and who do
not intend to do so, have been victimized in
different ways by the many hundreds of swin
dlers, who make New York their headquarters
for their illegitimate operations which they
have succeeded in extending all over the coun
try. He who has read this work, will have de-
rived the benefit of obtaining a till knowledge
of New York and the doings of its dangerous
classes.

A BLOODY RECORD.—Munder ofa
Carn
tractor on the Pennsylvania Railroad—A West
moreland County Man Slaughtered—Money' the
Object in Both Cases—Suicide of One of the Gal
ity Parties—An Accomplice Confesses.
The people of Spring Mills have been agi
tated for some time past by the story of two
murders and a suicide in their quiet neighbor
hood. In April last, it will be remembered
that we published an account of the suicide
of one Mr. Young, under circumstances that
afforded no satisfactory explanation. He was
a young man highly respected, with fair pros
pects and good health. But one day he wen t
into the woods, cut open an artery in his arm,
and by holding it open with a stick, succeeded
in puting an end to his life. It was not known
that just before the suicide Young was sent
for by a young friend named Kenley, and a
private interview took place, but the object of
the conference or what was there communi
cated was not known, and was not supposed
to have any connection with Young'slast fatal
act. But soon after his death, Keeley, who
had been convinced that be could not recover,
sent for Dr. Van Valzah of Spring Mills and
made a most startling confession of two mur
ders, in which he and Young and two other
men had participated. The first murder was
committed last fall, the victim being a con
tractor on the Pennsylvania Railroad, whose
name we have not learned. He appeared in
the place wills abonttwo thousand dollars, and
these four young men enticed him into a res
taurant kept by one of their number, and af
ter making him stupid with drink, knocked
out his brains with an axe and took his mo
ney. Then they sunk his body in a deep sink
hole in Spring creek. The second murder was
committed in March or April last, a shorttime
before the confession. The victim in this in
stance was a gentleman from Westmoreland
county, who had previously purchased Moat's
Mill in Penn's valley. The particulars of this
murder are not given. The man was traced
by his friends as far as Center Hall on his way
to the mill, with a sum of money which he
intended to use in making a payment upon the
property. Since their disappearance at the
time ther respective murders are said to have
been committed, neither of these men have
been heard from. Since Kenley's confession
the other two men have disappeared from the
this place. Kenley is recovering, and will
probably have to answer for, his share in the
two crimes that he so freely confessed. His
statement has not been made public in detail,
and we are able to give only this brief outline
which is the substance of the common talk in
the neighborhood.—Lock Haven Republican.
PiscAToßY.—While at. Birmingham
last week we visited the fish pond of Mr.
Gororgo W. Owens, which is situated in the
ravine below his residence on the North-west
side of the town. The pond is about 40 feet
wide, 60 feet long, and four feet deep. Is
supplied with water from a spring five rods
above. The pond was built and supplied with
trout in 1870. It now contains about seven
hundred fish from three to fifteen inches in
length, and pobably a thousand smaller ones.
Mr. Owens informs us that as the stock in
creases he will increase the number of ponds,
there being room for several in the same ra
vine below the one that is now erected. To
prevent the pond from overflowing, on either
side are ditches which come together at a point
above where the water heads, by means of.
which the water flowing into the ravine during
a freshet is carried around the pond, thus keep
ing the water in the pond not only at its ordi
nary height, but almost as clear as in the dry
est season. In an old spring house Mr. Owen s
has a hatching trough which he uses for the
artificial convertion of eggs into fish. From
this house down to the principal pond, a dis
tance/of three or four rods, are a number of
Willifi l sO f irtftill gthig
finally landing in the large pond when big
enough to prevent being "gobbled up" by the
grown fish. He has not yet taken any fish out
of the pond and does not intend to reduce the
stock by fishing them out for a year or two
yet. Mr. Owens has given the theoretical
study of fish culture special attention, and his
practical experience has proved a success. He
takes mush pleasure in explaining to visitors
—who are always welcome—the mode of hatch
ing and raising the "speckeled beauties."
About six inches of water supplies the pond:
To explain : For instance, a board is placed
across the stream to form a small dam, out of
this board is cut a piece, ray six inches wide
and an inch in depth, and if all the water
passes through this opening and just fills it,
you have six inches of water. The fish are
fed with chopped meat, liver, lights, angle
worms, ete. In size, the yearlings are from
one to two inches long, and very slender ; at
two years they are from three to four inchel
in length and better proportioned, and at the
age of about five years the most healthy ones
are from twelve to fifteen inches in length,
and fully developed in thickness.—Tyrone
Herald.

Tux POTATO BUGS.—Paris green,
which can be procured at any drug store, is
sure death to potato bugs. It may be applied
as a powder mixed with flour in proportions
of one part of Paris geeen to eight or ten of
flour, and sifted on the vines when wet with
dew. Five cents worth will suffice for one
row of potatoes three hundred feet in length.
Another method is to dissolve it in water. If
the Paris green be a good, pure article, two
thirds of a teaspoonful to ten quarts of water
would be suitable proportions. This can be
used by sprinkling on the potato vines in any
weather or any time in the day. In using it,
all should remember that it is a deadly poison,
composed of arsenic and copperas, and is
dangerous, especially when used as a powder.
In this state it is so volatile that it is inhaled
into the lungs, and frequent cases are reported
where it has caused serious sickness. Care
should also be exercised to prevent its getting
into the eyes or any out sore.—Exehange.

The Lancaster Express says : "Although the
law does not allow the Fish Commissioners
any salary, our legislators very generously al
low a sum to pay their necessary expenses.
When these little bills come to be audited, it
will be found that they cover the major portion
of the appropriation. Neither of these Com
missioners have any knowledge of the propa
gation of fish, and at least one them is scarce
, ly able to write or even read what ethers have
written upon the subject. Every week we hear
of a special car passing over the road to Mari
etta with these gentlemen, accompanied, of
course, by half a dozen from Lancaster, who
are fond of champagne and trout, both of
which are supplied by one of the Commission
ers, in a delightful retreat in the neighborhood
of Marietta. No one supposes that the rail
road company furnish their palace cars for
nothing, and it is generally supposed that the ,
champagne will be included among the et cet

intend to visit the fisheries at Columbia dam,

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
From Orbisonia•
011111 SONIA, June 21, 1873.
Editor Journal :—Exense the liberty I have
taken in thus addressing a line to you from
the house of the "Cromviells"—from the sa
cred soil whereupon "Old Grandfather Crom
well" first breathed the breath of life, and
where his youthful son "Peter" has flourished
as a local itemizer. Yes, sir, I am right among
the literary bon mote of "the lower end," hay
ing arrived here a day or two ago, and there
can be no idea of the prosperity of Orbisonia,
the improvements, the enterprise, the stirring
energy of its inhabitants. Well, may the
"Cromwells," the "Nick Whiffles," and the
"Nicholas Nickelbys" strike bold attitudes and
aspire high in the literary atmosphere; being
a resident of Orbisonia is sufficient recommen
dation for the truth, veracity and prominence
of the astute author of almost anything in the
news line.
Now as we have heard so much of this flour
ishing borough, by insiders, let an outsider
give his opinion of the town. Then, in the
first place, I would state that by the stage-road
the borough of Orbisonia is situated just ten
miles from Mt. Union, (the stage company call
it eleven miles and charge 75 cents, or as they
claim seven cents per mile, and are so liberal
as to throw in the extra mile) four miles south
of Shirleysburg, and six miles east of Scotts
ville or "Three Springs," as some delight to
call one or two houses located at a very pecu
liarly situated spot where a spring of physic
water gushes forth to the amazement of owners
of that particular tract of mineral land, so
called. As Orbisonia is my present subject I
will try to stick as close as possible to it, and
for that purpose would say, without fear of
contradiction, that more improvements, build
ings, stores, hotels, (option fellows) churches,
blacksmith .shops, barber shops, groceries,
confectionary shops, "ice cream premises" and
"Tohnnies" have gone up, opened, started,
and in contemplation, and in process of erec
tion, than has been the case in any town or
corporation within a radius of three miles of
the place. Already the city can boast of two
first-class country hotels—the Exchange and
Eagle—kept by gentlemen who thoroughly
believe in the "local option law," that is they
think that sending for kegs—say five or ten
gallons—is altogether "optional" with them
selves. They both know "how to keep a ho
tel," and they do it. Of wholesale and retail
stores they have about fifty-three in flourish
ing condition, including those that are either
under course of construction or talked of—
which is all the same. The population at
present might be about 2,000; that, of course,
includes those connected with public works.
Lots are going up—that is they are going up
toward the furnace, as well as up in price.—
Lots that could have been purchased, two or
three years age, for $5O now bring from $l5O
to $250.
There is a little "Omaha and Council Bluffs
controversy" here, owing to claims for the
General Railroad Depot. Orbisonia wants it
on the north side of the river Blackleg, while
the railroad and the citizens of Deweesville,
Constableburg and Rayerotiia have an idea
that it would be greatly to their advantage to
have the depot on the west side of the Black
leg. It is now generally supposed that the
depot will be built on the west side.
The contractors at the Rock Hill Iron &
Coal Company were somewhat annoyed a day
or two ago, by some of their men going on a
strike for higher wages. They were getting
$1.90 per day and struck for $2,00 and $2.25.
The contractors concluded that they did not
want them, so that was the end of the strike.
"Bab" Chaplin is fiddling here.
Arrangements are being made to start a
newspaper at this place about September next.
It is to be called The Orbieonia Argus, andwill
be "independent in politics." The citizens are
looking forward with pride to that time when
they can have a medium through which to
announce to the world the greatness of their
locality. Society is rather of agoesiping nature.
It takes a good batch of news, but a very
short period to be thoroughly circulated—
hence the want of a newspaper. It will save
a great deal of wind on the part of some of the
newsmongers of the present dey and the pre
sent town.
Upon the whole, Mr. Editor, Orbisonia is a
delightful place to live in. Good, clever,
ehureh members, from three or four denomin
ations. Fat, hearty, robust, rosy-cheeked,
laughing girls, from "sweet sixteen" up to
sour forty-five. Here is the place for mar
riageable young men; quite a number have
"hooked on," and still there are more left of
the same king. Here, too, you get your good
country butter and fresh milk, your home
made cheese and country-cured ham, your
old-fashioned apple dumplings, plum duff and
rheubarb pie.
In conclusion, Mr. Editor, if there is any
one spot, wore than another, upon this earth,
where I would wish to die, it is Orbisonia, as

any notice of the dead. I would bo safe.
ORUISONIA, June 28th, 1873,
EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: Dear Sir :-I see
from the last JOURNAL that you have a sour
kraut or lager beer correspondent at this
place, so I suppose yon will care but little
now about my communications. But, Mr.
Editor, you must not despise the day of small
things. Remember lam but a boy, and if my
letters are not just so interesting now they
may get more interesting after a while. Re
member you were a bey once yourself. I still
hope you will allow me to write you a letter
occasionally, to let you know how matters
and things are moving in this place, and also
to keep you posted in regard to our family.
The work of building the furnaces is still
progressing. It is thought that the R. R. will
be completed to this place again August.
will give them till September, and, frem pres
ent indications, if the Locomotive whistles
here again the middle of September, I will
say well done. I was no little diverted with
the description of that "big bottle" by your
Three Springs correspondent. This is a great
place for bottles, but I think we have none so
large as that one. I wonder if Barnum won't
try to get that bottle and exhibit it. I think
he could make money out of it. There is a
good deal more business done here in bottles
and whiskey, than I like to see. We have
one man here so fond of whiskey that he says
he don't want his friends to bury him when
he dies; says he would much rather be put
away in alcohol. I think the friends will grat
ify him in this matter, and as he is quite a
small man it will not take much alcohol to do
it. But grandfather says if he dies as he has
lived, he thinks ice will snit him ranch better
than alcohol after death.
A good many here are complaining about
the high prices of boarding at the hotels in
Huntingdon since the Local Option act passed .
Grandfather says he is no prophet, but he will
venture to say that a number of our store
keepers, physicians, and hotel keepers will
find boarding in Huntingdon after the August
Court at as reasonable rates as they can ask
it, and if they should not be just so well
pleased with their boarding place, they may
find it difficult to change it. Now this may
seem hard to those whiskey dealers, but
grandfather says "ns a man makes his bed so
he must lie."
I see little or no change on my grandfather
since I wrote you before ; his health is good
for a man of his age. The only wonder to me
is how he can do with so little sleep, ever
since he had that first bad dream about his
friend (the Professor) he is afraid to go to
and when he doe's clitfice to fall asleep for a
few minutes, he is all the time talking in his
sleep about the Professor and the bad place,
and sometimes he swears, too. This he learned
from reading the Globe, I suppose. I always
thought that grandfather was a very good
man, and he may be yet. I suppose he will
not be held accountable for what he says in
his sleep. I believe I have nothing more of
interest to communicate at this time. Truly
yours, PETER CROMWELL.
{jy.2,it.
P. S.—l sleep in the same room with grand
father, and just as I was going to sleep last
night,' he waked up and called at the top of his
voice, "Peter, Peter, who was it that killed
Pierce?" I said nothing, and he soon was
s noring again. So yon see my chances for
sleeping are not very good.
The East Broad Top Railroad.
MOUNT UNION, Jane 30, 1873.
The summer (colic) days have come, the
warmest of the year; and they are the days
when it is the hardest to muster energy suffi
cient to write an article for a newspaper. The
numerous writers who, during the winter past,
helped to make the Jonaset, interesting by
contributing to its columns locals and articles
in the shape of local correspondence, have one
by one ceased to indite epistles for the bene
fit of the great public. The approaching har
vest time may have called them to the perfor_
mance of more important duties ; or, per
chance, the villages and valleys of Huntingdon
county may have been all described by this
time, leaving nothing more to be written-
Certainly the reader of our county papers dur
ing the year past should by this time, have
become acquainted with every part of the'
county, and with the greater part of the peo
ple dwelling therein.
But one place has been slighted—very much
slighted; and that is the borough next to Hun
tingdon in population, in prominence of posi
tion,• in prospects and promises—Mt. Union.
Not a writer, so far as we remember, has at
tempted a description of Mt. Union ; and the
casual reader of the county papers might im
agine that this town is located in some other
county. It will be our province in the course
of this correspondence to take some space in
describing the place, and in enumerating its
prospects and business advantages ; but first
we will have to treat of the matter most inter
esting to the people of the county, viz : the
East Broad Top Railroad.
On the eastern slope of the Broad Top Moon
lain lies several thousand acres of valuable
coal land, now owned by the heirs of Edward
Roberts, Sr., late of Philadelphia deceased.
Though there is as good coal and as much of
it to be found on the eastern anon the western
side of Broad Top Mountain, but little coal has
ever been taken out, because there was no way
of transporting it to a market. Among the
hills and valleys east and northeast of the
Broad Top Mountain may be found large quan
tities of the best iron ore, and limestone in
abundance. The design was found by the
East Broad Top Railroad Is Coal Company of
making a railroad from this coal region to a con
venient shipping point on the P. R. R., of run
ning it through the most available iron and
limestone country, and then, having all the
conveniences at hand, to Garry on the manu
facture of iron on the line of their own road,
and ship away the manufactured iron instead
of the crude material. The E. B. T. R., there
fore is built for the espesial "use andbehoof' of
the company building it, and not for the pur
pose of making money by carrying passengers
and collecting tolls on freight. At the same
time all that can be done to make the road a
source of convenience and use to the citizens
residing within the reach of it will be done by
the obliging managers.
Some preliminary surveys upon the propos
ed route were made five or six years ago. Two
years ago work was begun more in earnest; in
August, 1872 the first division of the read, ex-
tending from Mt. Union to Orbiscenia was let
to contractors, to be completed as soon as
cirenstances would permit. But "circum
stances" don't always permit things to be done
just as soon no people would like. It was im
posible to get enough—and the inclemency of
weather during the winter and spring retard
ed the work a great deal. The road was to
have been completed to Orbisonia by the first
of April. It is now the end of June, and the
laying of the rails has only been fairly begun.
The surveys upon the second and third di
visions were completed and let by contract
in January last ; and the work is being driven
as fast as it can be done. There is and has
been a scarcity of hands all along the line of
the road. The road would have been now
much nearer completion if enough force could
have been got to carry on the work faster.
Men in want of stedyontdoor employment can
not do better than to apply almost anywhere
along this route. Wages two dollars per day.
After the road is finished there will still be
plenty or demand for labor to keep the road in
repair, to build furnaces and run them, to get
out iron ore, limestone, coal, &c.
The E. B. T. R. R. t C. C., is justly consid
ered a very solid and reliable company, rep
resenting, as it does, from twelve to twenty
millions of capital. Wm. A. Ingham of Phil
adelphia is president of the company and Ed
ward Roberts, Jr., Treasurer. The road is be
ing built under the superintendence of Col.
A. NV. Sims, Chief Engineer. Col. Sims has
had many years experience as an engineer
having assisted in the construction of various
railroads in Pennsylvania, Virginia and other
parts of the United States. Having built and
managed the Toronto and Nipissing Narrow
Gauge Railway, one of the first narrow gauge
roads made, he is, by his experience thus gain
ed, specially qualified for the duties devolving
upon him as Chief Engineer and Superinten
dent of the E. B. T. R. R., a narrow gauge
road.
V4ATOU.
We are all curious to know something about
narrow gauge railroads, because the making
of such railroads is something new—a kind of
innovation upon old established rules.
People, who don't know anything about rail_
roads think that narrow gauge roads will not
be as safe to travel on as broadguage roads.
The cars, they say will be too small to ride in
with any degree of comfort; and the wheels
are so close together that the cars may upset
at any time, and persons ou and about them
will be in continual peril. it is the intention
of the writer to show to such that the E. B. T.
R. R., will be pleasanter and safe: to travel
upon than probably any railroad in the State.
and that it will be one of the best built and
best mauged roads of all the short lines in the
country.
The road bed will be solid and substantial.
The embankments are broad 'and w,ell packed.
This is an advantage gained by making the
road slowly. Wherever filling up was requir
ed the clay has had time to settre and solidify.
Any one who has seen how much trouble is
being taken to ballast the road well with
stones after the track is laid, and how the
ballast is hammered under and about the ties
until they seemed to be wedged into their
places, will not have any uneasiness about
the solidity of the ties the foundations upon
which the rails are laid. The rails, which
are of steel, aro nearly as heavy as the rails
on the common broad guage roads—weighing
forty pounds to the yard. The spikes are pro
portionately heavy, and the joint fastening or
chairs are of the most approvedpattern. There
are but few tressles on the line of this road,
and they are neither long nor high ; and they
are so well built that no ono need fear to cross
them. The tiny trains that arc to run over
them can never brake through, while they be
not rotten. On the H. &B.T. R. It, which is
a broad gag,tte road, and on which heavy en
tfint-COwitax v . '. aux cug re' 'uuradnity'LO
the tressels on this narrow gunge road. After
the road has been completed the tressles will
be filled up as soon as practicable. The
bridges will be Howe Truss, and will be very
substantial.
Add to all this the fact that the managers
and employees of the road are generally men
of long experience on railroads, and one ought
to feel a considerable degree of cafety in trav
elling oil such a road. Then it being a road
of a different gauge from other railroads in
its vicinity, none but its own cars can run on
it; and the ears and engines will all be new,
and they are built in the best and most dura
ble manner. There will be no old cars, ready
to fall to pieces at any time, nor any old en
gines ready to be blown up on short notice.
The cars will all have a uniform style of coup
ling ; and we will not expect to see so many
hands mashed in coupling cars. As the wheels
are low and the cars very close to the rails,
brakemen will run but little risk in getting on
and off at any time. Trains on this road will
not be run nearly so fast as trains are run on
the P. P.. R. This is an additional argument
in favor of the safety of travel on this road.
At the same time the trains will run as fast as
there will be any need for on a short line.
The grading of the first division has been
nearly completed ; and the laying of the
trunk has been begun in earnest. As yet, but
a mile of track has been laid, besides sidings
in the car yard, but now there are two con
struction trains, and a strong gang of men
at work track laying; and it will not be
many weeks before the "shrill whistle" of the
iron pony will reverberate from the hills sur
rounding Orbisonia, the Altoona of the road,
and her sister city "Rock Hill."
In a future letter we propose to give some
statistical comparisons between broad and
nariow gauge railroads. UNALOSA.
