. ;. Company II at Harrisburg.
' On Monday, January 20, Company
H took the same train, at this place,
which conveyed the rest of the Seven
teenth regiment to attend the inaugu
ration of Governor-elect Hoyt, at Har
risburg. The train left Ridgway at
6:30 o'clock, being an hour and a half
lute, and leached Harrisburg next
morning at about 5 o'clock.
It is scarcely necessary for us to
bring to mind the trials and tribula
tions of the company, caused by the
needless shifting from one car to an
other, nor how the strips in the bag
gage car served as kindling wood, nor
the grand walk-around, with the ex
press trunk as the centre of attraction
nor the broken glass on the floor, or
the "hot-box" which compelled the
conductor to leave the carat Williams
port. All these, and many more, in-,
cidents of the trip will remain a long
time in the memory of those who
were there.
The parade, which commenced to
move at half-past 1 o'clock, was one of
the grandest ever seen in Harrisburg,
and we see it stated in the papers that
nearly eight thousand persons marched
In the procession. Besides the mili
tary, with their various brilliant uni
forms, glittering bayonets and regular
marching, there were numerous civic
societies on foot and distinguished
persons in carriages, with beautiful
bouquets. The parade was one well
worth going a long way to see, and
one, we think, none of the members
of Company H will ever regret having
taken the trip. After the parade the
boys visited the capitol building, and
in various other ways put in the time
until 8 o'clock, the hour set for the
train containing the Twelfth and
Seventeenth regiments to leave Har
risburg. At about 2 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing, after having switched around the
Harrisburg yard since 8 o'clock, the
leaving time, the train made one final
effort and sped on its homeward way.
When a few miles west of Williams
port the train stopped, when it was
discovered that another passenger train
was trying to pass us on the same
track, with no switch nearer than a
mile or two on either side. The other
train having the right of way, we were
compelled to run back to the nearest
switch. The meeting of the trains on
ititoillt,Jlliecc of track, together with
the fact that the mornlYrg""wasacleaTl
one, enabled the engineers of the
trains to see each other in time to come
to a full stop, with the front of thecow-
catcher not more than two feet apart.
A foggy morning, a curve, or a thous
and and one little Circumstances, and
a terrible accident had been the result
of some one's carelessness. The loss
of life would have been great, and a
trip of pleasure turned to one of dire
mourning. While our train was com
posed of ten loaded cars, the opposing
train carried three cars and, as far as
could be seen, a solitary passenger.
Again moving on our homeward way,
we reached Renovo, and lay there for
more than un hour, until mail west
came along, and In a few hours landed
the company at Ridgway depot, at 2:33.
Tlie boys did not present a very
brilliant appearance, owing totlie long
ride, hard marching in the streets of
Harrisburg and loss of sleep. They
will all be ready to go the next time all
the same.
NOTES OF THE Till P.
Senator Hall paid the company a
visit while we were standing at parade
rest in the line of procession.
Corporal Bailey, Will Messenger
and O. G. Kelts dined with Senator
Hull.
Every time a company passed the
residence of Senator Hall, his little
girl and Will Hyde's boys, who were
visiting there, ran out, exclaiming,
" here comes Company H."
He gave his watch and other valu
ables to the lieutenant to keep for him.
And all the boys called it a joke.
Lieutenant Horton suffered the
loss of his overcoat and a $10 revolver.
Stolen, no doubt.
George was slightly on his "mus
cle." O. R. had a terrible fall, and cut
his wrist badly on the broken glass.
O. C. K. led the walk-around.
The color-sergeant and Dennis
were the only ones who got a glimpse
of Doctor Earley.
They had the arrangements made
all right, but the train started too
soon.
Go to Morgester's for apples, pota
toes, pork and ham.

A Road Law Decision.
Recently Judge Galbraith, of Eric,
decided a question of some importance
under the road law. It defined the
rights of owners on a point that is
arising continuously under our com
plex special legislation. The plain
tiff, John W. Dawlcy, resides in
Fjynklin township, Erie county, on
the Popiriatio1rroTm!---ll'.l,A djfeiyjnuts
were the road commissioners ot b ranK
lin township and others employed by
them. In 1874 the road commission
ers of Franklin township employed
thecounty surveyor to survey the Pop
ulation road. According to the line
run by Piatt under these directions,
the road through Dawlcy's improve
ment appeared to be from three to
seven feet too far west, and the road
coinmissiouers ordered him to move
his fence on the east side of the road
back east, in accordance with this new
survey. Dawlcy's Jiouse and grain
barn stood on the cast side of the road,
and lie had built u good fence in front
of his house, with iron posts, etc., and
a nice stake and cap rail fence the
balance of the distance, in all about
ninety rods of fence, and had set shade
trees along the whole line. All these
and other improvements had been
made with reference to the road as
actually opened and traveled since the
year 1881, forty seven years ago. The
road was the lawful width, fifty feet,
and tlie fence which tl'.e commission
ers required him to move was twenty-
five lect and over lrom tlie centre o:
tlie traveled track, and being advised
in regard to the law of the case he re
fused to comply with the order of the
road commissioners.
In the fall of 105 the road commis
sioners came on with help and tore
down and threw back the fence above
referred to, and Dawley brought an
ai-tion of trespass against them the
same year to recover damages.
The court after a very careful con
sideration of the law, ruling that su
pervisors have no right to relocate a
road in order to place it on what they
may suppose its recorded site, and that
a road once laid and opened, and used
by the public for a term of years,
whether opened on its recorded site or
not, can onlv be altered by a new pro
ceeding under the road law.
