The sale of the Pittsburg, Bradford & Buffalo Ruilway to the Pittsburg & Western Railroad Co., consummated recently, is among the important rail load transactions iu this country. The P. B. & B. railway wus projected about two years ago and is of narrow gauge, runing from Foxburg, Clariou couuty, to Kane, with branch to Clarion. It Is already completed from Foxburg to a point beyond Marienville, and will be completed to Kaue within a short time.' Tho Railroads. Ridgway grows more lively each day owing to the large number of men employed on railroad construction In this vicinity. The Rochester and Pittsburg, and Ridgway & Clearfield roads are both under contract and are being pushed at a rapid rate. Fresh gangs of men are constantly arriving at this point, and the rush seems to be to complete the roada as far as possible before snow flies. The R. & (!. road is slashed along the state road below Powell's farm down nearly to Hall's farm, while some grading has been done ou the line between tbe points named. Teams are busy at work on Osterhout's flat piling up dirt for the wye to be located near the tannery. This road crosses Main street just east of llealy's bum, and at the street crossing there will bo au eight foot fill. The R. & P. road have their grad ing about finished to a point below Grant's tannery and on the same side of the Clarion, and are pushing the work in that direction. The stone work on the bridge across the race near L. C. Dickinson's bouse Is about finished, and will be ready for tbe iron in a few days. Murphy and Taylor have taken the contract for two addition miles, making five iu all, on tho R. & C. from Ridgway down the Clarion live miles. It is expected that the screech of the locomotive on botli roads will be heard by Christmas, and as matters look now the expectation Is highly probable. At any rale both roads will be pushed forward rapidly to completion. The subject of machineshops natur ally arises in connection with the great activity in Railroad matters here. No doubt the It. & P. will build shops here in case the citizens offer any encouragement in tho mat ter. A hint to the wise should be sufficient. Let's secure the shops. Killed by the Cars. St. Mary's Guzetto. On Thursday evening last while a freight train was passing through Rathbum going west Edward Keltz, a brakemon on the train met with a horrible and instantaneous death. It seems he was a new hand at the busi ness, and probably his inexperience was the prime cause of his death. Ho took ofl'a brake and in stepping from one car to another missed his footing, fulling between the cars to the truck when the wheels crushed his head, and cut off his left aim and shoulder. The body was u hideous sight to look at, though the face was not marred. It Is supposed when lie "let off'' the brake, and in the act of stepping to the next car the coupling lengthened, and he thereby missed his footing. Tbe body win brought to St .Marys on Thursday evening, and his friends who live ill Centreville notified. The body was taken to Centreville for interment. Tel low Fever.

A Shock to the "Ignorers." N. Y. Trlbuno.1 The Cameron party have exper ienced a painful surprise in Pennsyl vania. For the pant few weeks they havo been carrying the State iu ad vance by a majority which became a thousand or two larger each day. Chairman Cooper, who rivals John G. Thompson as a "claimcr," started out with a mathematical calculation which elected General Beaver by 20, 000 majority. By the constant appli cation of stimulants to his imagina tion Mr. Cooper had worked the majority up lo 40,000 on Tuesday last, when he started for the seashore for a brief season of rest and recuperation. We know no man who needs a vaca tion more. It would have been simply magnanimous on the art of the Independents to suspend all hostile operations till he returned, but they were too human to do this. Mr. Cooper reached the seashore just in time lo hear some news which reduced General Beaver's majority several thousand immediately. The Cameron chairman had based his steadily rising claims on alleged infor mation that tho Independent party was growing smaller every day. In stead ot polling 50,000 votes, as' it did last year, Mr. Cooper was confidant that it would not poll more than 15, 0U0 this year. He had reasons for this belief and could show-you a column or two of figures to sustain It. Yet to him at Cape May came the news that the Regular Republican Committee of Union County had assembled at Lew Isburg, Mr. Wolfe's home, had elected Mr. Wolfe chairman, and had passed resolutions heartily indorsing the In dependent Republican ticket. What ever else this indicated, it did not show a falling off in Independent strength, and we have no doubt that Mr. Cooper's 40,000 imagined majority for Beaver dropped to a good deal be- 1 w 20,ono, in his mind's eye, as be meditated upon the news. The details of the committee's meet ing could afford him no comfort Twenty-nine of the Hi members were present, and 21 of these were heartily in lavor of the Independent ticket. The other eight withdrew before any action was taken. The resolutions, which were unanimously adopted, say that "iu accordance with the known sentiment of the Republicans of Union County, repeatedly and emphatically expressed at primaries, through their county organizations and at general elections, we do hereby recognize the ticket nominated at the Republican Convention in Philadelphia, headed by Senator John Stewart, standing on the platform of principles by h i Id con vention adopted, us the exponent of true Republicanism, and we will ac corUiugly labor zealously to secure its election next November." They also denounce the boss system, the "offen siveand selfish personal domination'' of Senator Cameron, and declare their belief that 'honorable harmony" can be restored only by the complete abandonment of the whole system. There is in this act and declaration the same fearless, manly ring which has been so clearly observuble in all the acts and sayings of the Independ ents. Whatever else may be said of them, it cannot be denied that they have the courage to assert their con victions, and that they mean to fight with all their power. We suppose Chairman Cooper and bis machine ticket will continue to "ignore" them, but tbe silliness of that course will become so apparent on election day, If not before, that even a Boss can per ceive 11.'. !

We commend this exhortation to the attention of all those whose eye may chance to light upon it: Every man should plant trees; every woman should plant trees ; every boy should plant trees; every girl should plant trees. If they own a home, however humble or unsightly, it can be made beautiful by shade and vines und flowers, which coat only the labor of planting ; if they do not own a house, they should plant trees wherever they happen to stay. It will cost nothing; it will only be a little care und labor, and somebody will be grateful for it by and by. One-half the drift of children from their homes and the occupations to which they are reared are caused by tho chcerlessiiess that surrounds them. There is no beauty, no comfort, no saeredncs about the place that should bo to them the most sacred spot of earth, and they wander away among strangers and into strange pursuits, often to make ship wreck of their lives, because tboy see attractions and comforts elsewhere which are unknown ut home. Plant trees; plant trees everywhere that of fers a place for them. Plant shades, plant fruits, plant vines; plant flowers, give them only a little of the time that is wasted morning, noon and evening, and they will abundantly reward you with comfort, health and plenty. Freaks of Juries. (From tho London Truth.) Shlel, in his illimitable sketches of the Irish bar, tells of the verdict of a Clare jury, iu a case of "felonious gal lantry." They acquitted the prisoner of the capital charge, but found him guilty of a 'great tuidaceiicy." R. Shelton Mackenzie, iu his note to Shiel'stext says: "This is nothing to the verdict of a Welsh Jury : "Not guilty hut we recommend him not to doit again" Mackenzie also relates that an English Jury, not very bright, having a prisoner before them charged with burglary, being unwilling to convict him of robbery, gave tho safe verdict: "Guilty of getting out of the window." He adds that the most original was that of an Irish jury before whom a prisoner pleaded guilty, throwing himself on the mercy of the court. Tho verdict was: "Not guilty." The judge, In surprise, exclaimed : "Why, he has confessed his crime!" The foreman responded,. "Ah, my Lord, you do not know that fellow: but wc do. He Is the most .notorious liar in the country, and no twelve men who know his character can be lieve a word he says." And the jurors adhering to their verdict, the "liar" escaped. The following "pointed" remarks by a circus clown at a -small town in the interior has more "truth in it than poetry:" "We have taken in S'jOO hero to-day more than most ministers of the Gospel receive for a whole year's service. A large portion of the money was given ny church members, and a largo portion of tliio audience is made up of members of the church. And yet, when your preacher asks you to aid him in sup porting the Gospel, you are too pour to give anything. But you cone here and pay dollars to hear me talk non sense. I am a fool because I am paid for it; I make my living by it. You profess to be wise, and yet you support me in my folly. Now isn't Ibis a pretty place for christians to be In?

A QUARREL ABOUT A FENCE ENDS IN A TRAGEDY. Pottsvllle, Aug. 20. At a late hour on Friday night, Bernard Horan, a man forty years of age, shot and fatally wounded John Gorman, his neighbor. The latter was about sixty years of age, and had provoked Horan by tho erection of a fence between their property at Mill Creek, a small hamlet about two miles from here. Horan, while partially under the In fluence of li ptor, went to Gorman's house and demanded that tho fence be taken down nt once. Gorman said that he would attend to it in the morning, and Horan walked away a few steps, turned ou his heel and emptied the contents of a shotgun into the old man's head and neck. One of the shot, entered the skull over the right ear; one or two penetrated the lung, citising him to expectorate blood ever since, and the others, twenty or more, wore scattered across tho lower part of tho face and neck. Gorman lived Willi his wife alone, having no children. He is Supervisor of Eust Norwegian Township, and was best known hy th title of "General." His a.;.-n .-.in wrts arrested at uu early hur yos'erday morning, and on being brought, here was committed to jail to await his victim's injuries. The latter, when seen tiiis afternoon by his phy sician, though still alive, was rapidly sinking, and no hope Is entertained fjr bus recovery. Bucklen's Arnioa Salvo.
