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.

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.'. !

riant Trees.
That is good advice which the
lMiiladelphia Times gives its readers
when it advises them to plant trees.
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?
Don't you feel ashamed of yourselves?
You ought to.'

Shot His Neighbor.
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.
