An Engineer Corps st Work trying to Locate a Route Through Centre County. —~Suppos. ed to be for a Short Line Between New York and Pittsburg. The arrival of a corps of railroad en- gineers and surveyors in Bellefonte this past week has made many believe that We are to railroad pass throngh our town in the course of a year or more. Many rumors are afloat as to what the present survey is being made for and no one that we interviewed thus far can give any definite information in regard to the project. Some think that the present line is being located for a large corporation of English capitalists who have conceived the plan of building an air line from New York city to Chi. cago, to be the shortest and most direct line from New York city to Pittsburg, Chicago and the West. This has been thought of for some years but nothing has been done thus far to give any weight to this supposition. Others say that the survey is being made by the Wilkesbarre and Western railroad which has built a portion of a new road to Watsontown recently and will continue thesame through Nippe. nose Valley, Sugar Valley, then through the Narrows, come out Washington Furnace, pass throngh Nittany Valley and out again by Armor's Gap or through by Bellefonte and then on through the western part of the state to | Pittsburg.

This is the first work of the kind for the season, as the running logs have so far prevented it. There are over 100.- | 000,000 feet in the two booms here. The | river is not now high enough for good rafting. At Lock Haven 375 rafts have come with the boom this spring. Prices for lumber are higher in this market this season than heretofore. Good pine is sold fron: twenty to twenty-four cents per foot, the latter being the highest price paid during the last forty years, and higher than during the war. This is caused by the reduction of the output, Hemlock isalso five cents higher than last year, and the prospect for the man nfacturers is considered bright. : Drugged and Robbed, Hastixos, Pa.

The former asserted that his friend from Texas wanted to buy a Durham bull as he was interested in fancy stock raise. | ing, and they took a look at the old gentleman's stock. They were slick tongued individuals and after some conversation one of them prodoced three cards and a board. The two went to play- ing and soon the gentleman from Tex. as was out several hundred dollars. His he never took money from his friends. The game was continued and Mr. Kel. erl was interested in it and went into the house and obtained the large sum of 24,700 which he ani the gentleman from Texas put up on one card and af- ter that person had looked at it and con- vineed the old gentleman that it was NAIL WORKS WILL USE GAS, | IS MANUFACTURED FROM CRUDE PETROLEUM.

It seems that she put up atthe Bush House, in Bellefonte, a short time there after, and the landlord learning that a with her was not her husband, ordered the twain to leave the premises, which they did.
