"A Few Pleasant Words About Railroad
. Men—New Castle—lts • Prospects—An
Elegant Resldence7--Public Buildings,
Mills, Factories. '
(Correspondtnee of the Pittsburgh Gezet•e.)
-I A t r i p over the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne
and Chicago road for any distance and at
any season of theyear is fruitful of pleasure
and enjoyment. The road is under such
splendid Management, is so well supplied
with faithful, painstaking and efficient offi
cials and train men, has such elegant and
comfortable cars always at the disposal of
the traveler, that it has become an absolute
luxury to ride op this route. Thernare
few, if any, who ever traveled ever the
road from Pittsburgh to Chicago, or to any
of the intermediate stations, who have not
come home withli feeling of warmth and
kindness lingering at his heart for this great
national iron thoroughfare. ( Its immunity
from accidents is a guarantee of the safety
of the passengers, and it would seem like a.
piece of useless prudence for him to arm
himself before venturing aboard a--train
with those questionable damage abaters
called insurance tickets. In connection
with this it might be well to observe just
here that the road is doing an exbellent
business, having a large run of both freight
and , passenger patronage. The moving of
the unusually large grain crop eastward
has contributed 'largely towards swelling
the former source of revenue and the, gen
eral and growing popularity of the route
as a safe, rapid and comfortable one has
had the good effect of crowding every pas
senger train which leaves or arrives at the
depot
The remarks heretofore made will bear
with special eignificance on the Erie and
Youngstown Accommodation train, which
daily takes its departure at 7:21 A. Is. from
the Union. Depot. ThoSe travellers who
have "gone this way before" will not need
be told, that a better manned train never
whirls into or out of a depot under the
sun than this one.. A brief journey to the
thriving town of New Castle converted me
to this opinion, and an exChange of notes
with friends who have journeyed the same
route confirm me in the high estimation so
universally and generally entertained.
Newspaper correspondents deal in general.
Ries most times, and in ,bestowing their
tokens of praise manage to lose sight of
conductors and train attachOs in order to,
bestow all their praise on those holding the
higher 'positions on the road. So, while I
am willing to acknowledge everything as
just and eminently deserving which might
be said of the leading officials of so g /cid a
road as the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and
Chicago, still I will endeayor to award due
praise to those largely entitled to it. Not
to be invidious, but having fresh recollec
tions of courtesies and kindnesses ex
tended on the' Erie and Youngstown
train, I will select it for a few
passing remarks. The conductor, Mr. A.
W. Browning, a gentleman of high stand
ing not only among railway tnen but with
all classes who have traveled with him, is
as clever an officer as ever took out a train.
He has had long _experience and has mas
tered effectually the difficulties of the sta
tion. Pleasant, courteous and obliging,
he looks after - the enjoyment and comforts
of his passengers with diligence and care,
and his record has shown how careful he
has been of the limbs and lives of those in
his charge. He realizes that gruffness is
not the first qualification of the conductor,
and shapes his conduct to all men alike.
Faithful to the interest of his employers,
firm and unyielding enough when occa
sion requires, he fills the idea s as to what a
conductor should be..: It will be remem
bered that this gentleman was wounded by
a bullet caughtin the terriole storm which
poured out at random during the burning
of the musket depository opposite the Fort
Wayne Railroad office on. Penn street. He
has but recently been able to resume duty,
having suffered long and - aeverely from tho
wound. His many friends will be pleased
to learn of , his convalescence.
The baggage master on the train is Mr.
W. If. Smith, a gentleman universally res
pected. He, too, is a clever and obliging
officer, and attends to his duties in a man
ner which wins for himself not only the
confidence of the road officials; but of the
general traveling community. His long
and faithful service in his present capacity,
and' the zealous and efficient manner he
has ever acquitted himself, warrants me
in asking that he be promoted to the
place of a conductor on the road, a desire
which I feel is entertained by a majority of
those who have traveled on this route.
True merit should be rewarded by corpo
rations as well as individuals, and if the
rale help good, Mr. S. should not long
-await promotion. •
The ,route agents are Messrs. W. A.
Smart and William Sexton, who have
loin and satisfactorily filled their places.
They have witnessed the country through
which their route lays gradually but -sure
ly expand and ripen into importance—in
no way better evinced than in the accumu
lation of mail matter. This route is graded
as second class by the Postal Department,
but, owing to its rapid development, Con
gress' will, in all probability, at its next
session,
advance it to first grade, as it long
should have been.
The passenger seldom meets with those
needful and important auxiliaries to the
train, the Engineer and Brakemen, and
yet en them depends his safety perhaps to
a much greater extent Alum even on the
conductor. So I shall iritioduce Mr. Thos.
Johnson as filling the former place on the
train and Mr. Samuel Cole the latter. Both
of these gentlemen are careful, : skillful;
sober and attentive, and I would as leave
risk my life on a train which they guide
and check as 'on one under any others I
have ever met. They know their lines of
'duty thoroughly and deservedly rank high
en the road.
Neither. will I forget the train ,boy, he
who looks after the details and contributes
so much to the comfort of passengers,
mit-more than that, passes from car to
car, with the 'welcome Oliazgrrg and other
reading matter of like interesting and ac
ceptable character. The young gentleman
who so admirably fills this position on the
train is Mr. Burtt Corbett, with whom Four
correspondent has had dealings for a long
time, and has ever found him , square and
honorable. He will doubtless soon advance
to higher position and will be missed by
all travelers with whom he is a great fa
vorite.
Thus I have sketched the train, with its
officers. If any reader desires a pleasant
trip 011,a pleasant road with pleasant offi
cers, let him take the Erie and Youngstown
Accommodation train, and my word for it'
he will be thankful for the advice here
given.
The villages and station's which line the
Fort Wayne road to Rochester all appear to
be resting from enter Prise until warm
weather again comes. During the past year
great improvements have been made in the
building of houses, laying out of grounds,
etc., all alohg the road. Some of the pret
tiest suburban residences about the city
are those stretched along tlifa route to New
Brighton.
NEW OISTLS.
_This aspiring town, with its manufactu
ring prospects, and active, go-aheadative
and' ntelligent people, is destined to prove
ere long one of the most populous
as well as most preeperons localities
in the State. The spirit of enterprise
has taken hold of the citizens, and
on all sides are evidences of progression.
New Castle, from its admirable location,
bids fair to eclipse many of the towns of
the State Which make, more pretentious
display. Already it to entitled with its ten
thousand or more inhabitants to rank in
seventh or eighth place amongst the cities
and towns of the State. Its population has
lone been steadily increasing, and will con
tinue to do so, as the rich mineral region
of which it is the centre can hardly be said
to be even in the first stage of development.
New furnaces and mills and glass houses
will be erected as the trade of the town ex
pands, and these will furnish employment
PITTSBURGH GAZFrTF,.. MONDAY,' DECEMBER 7, PM:
to thousands more of people.. New Castle
is in every respect a live town; a hive of
industry: There are no drones within its
boundaries, but all are workers. Every
body contributes his, ahare to the general
prosperity, and hence the town must ex
pand, grow wealthy and push forward to
higher position. 'Few in Pittsburgh
realize the importance of the little
rival which is slowly and surely
plucking away the laurels of the Smoky
City as a manufacturing place, and de
tracting from its manufacturing interests.
The products of the smelting furnaces, the
rolling mills and glass houses of this town
are exceedingly heavy and run deeply into
figures, and yet all this business -may be
said to be in its infancy, or at least only par
tially developed. The reader may infer
What there is in the future for the town
from its present brilliant prospects. ItAs
proposed by some of the leading and most
enterprising citizens to enlarge the boun
daries of -the town and have it incorporated
as a city. The size and population would
warrant such tr.paovement at once, and we
believe that the 'change would prove deci
dedly beneficial in many respects.
There are many fine business places and
dwelling houses in New Castle which at
tract the attention Of the -visitor. Promi
nent among these is the new and elegant
private 'residence erected • and owned by
R. M. Allen, Esq., a gentleman known to
nearly all Pittsburghers, especially those
who have visited these parts and Lave par
taken of his generous hospitality. This res
idence is ligibly located in the' - centre of
t l ,
re aground in one of the • pret
tiest par a of the town,—a plat of ground
purchased by Mr. Allen some time ago.
The building is a two story brick, built on
the most approved modern plan and hav
ing all the conveniences of first-class dwell
ings—gas, water, fruit rooms, cedar clothes
presses, and other appurtenances. The
grounds are beautifully laid out and in
Summer time especially are peculiarly
enchanting and picturesque. The resi
dence is a credit to Mr. Allen, who is one
of the wealthiest and most enterprising of
New Castle's citizens. He is in every re
spect a self-made man. Not many years
ago with hardly any capital 'he embarked
in the literary and news depot business in
that centre' of trade, and by close attention,
shrewd management and honorable,
straightforward dealing he has amassed
enough to permit him to retire were he old
er or of aless active nature and disposition.
His store on Washington street is a mag
iiitlcent structure thuty-six feet front by
one hundred and ten feet deep. It is ad
mirably fitted up and is well stocked with
tobacco, cigars, books, stationery, wall pa
per and the current literature of the day.
Mr. Allen is the agent for the daily and
weekly GAZETTE, for which he has a liber
al share of subscribers. Any Pittsburgher
visiting New Castle should not fail to4an
and make his acquaintance. He has Alio
control of the Shenango House and Market
Hall, which has a splendid anditorinm capa
ble of comfortably seating fifteen hundred
persons. (
Among the many other fine places of pri
vate residences conspicuous ' are those of
Messrs. J. N. Phillips, R. W. Cunningham, ,
George Reis, Jr., George Crawford, Mr.
Skinner, George V. Boyle, and H. J. Hor
ner. There are so many more worthy of
special nota, I feel i that necessity compels
me to be / invidious, as the names of ' the
owners have escaped my attention. The
more prominent mills are those of Dith
ridge & Co., and Reis, Brown & Berger,
both having splendid capacity. Moffett
& Co. are building a blast furnace
to be soon completed and the Etna
Iron Company will have two furna
ces ready tostart in a few days.
Both the Ihmsen and Union Glass Works
are in operation, and brisk business is be
ing driven at Cunningham & Co.'s large
Foundry and Machine Shops, Quest, Shaw
dr. Co.'s Foundry, Pearson & Co.'s Agri
cultural Works, Smith's Cracker Bakery,
Monitor Patent Lime Kiln Company, and
all the other manufacturing establishments
of the place. I should like to describe the
splendid new iron bridge which spans the
Shenango Creek at Grant Avenue, but re
serve that till some other occasion.

The Cattle Plague.
A Boyd Hamilton, Esq., President of
the State Agricutural Society, is in this
city, on his return from the Convention of
delegations from several of the States,
Eastern and Western, held at Springfield,
Illinois, to adopt some measures_to prevent
the infection which seems to follow upon
the track of cattle imported from Texas. The
excitement at the Convention was intense;
on the one hand there were representatives
from the towns where the native cattle had
been exterminated by disease contracted
from imported cattle, and on the other
hand. interests in the herds of Texas cattle
numbering from 1,000; 10,000, and up to
75,000 head under one ownership and con
trol, were • represented: The latter, of
course, demanded unrestrained trade and
the former, entire prohibition. Mainly by
the influence of the Maryland sand Penn
sylvania delegations, (the latter consisting
of Dr. Carson ' of Montgomery county, Mr.
Hamilton„of Harriabtfkg, and Mr. Humes,
of Centre nounty,) a conservative course,
recommending legislation to secure certain
sanitary precautions was adopted.
The report of th ; delegation will soon be
presented to tli;t, ernor and - published,
*
and althobgh State has not- experi
enced any peat loss from diseased cattle,
nor much detriment to trade. in stock, we
must still indirectly have ad interest in a
matter which has caused such a. loss to
farmers and drovers, seriously affecting
the health and,supply of cattle to the mar
ket of the State and of the country. The
report of the delegation, we may assume,
will be interesting and will attract that at
tention which the important'' , of the sub
ject add the character of the. delegation de
mands.

happened to go in there and stayed there
about two hours. In coming out there
was a young lady that I had seen before,
and coming down the street with her met
a crowd of five or six fellows who began to
snow ball' this lady. In throwing at her
they hit. me. I told the fellows not to
throw, but they repeated the throwing.
I told them some two or three times. In
the ball room this lady and another girl
had a falling-out, and I suppose that this
party were her friends; so it appeared.
Whe4 they saw that I was taking her part,
I suppose that was the reason they pitched
on Me. I had no difficulty with them be
fore., The crowd said, "Go for him," and
used rough language. I told them to keep
back,, but they rushed on. When I saw
them rushing on I-pulled out a weapon—
s revolver—to defend myself. One ofthem
struck at me, but I cannot tell which one.
I plaited them off, but dtill they rushed on.
I fired a shot in the first place over their
heads to scare them; they still rushed on
and cried "kill the bugger," or something
like that. We got into 61ose quarters then,
and I received the cnta I have. I did not

Mr. David Robinson;one of the parties
wounded in the affray, makes the follow
ing statement: He says he:was at the Con
tinental ball along with sotne friends. Af
ter the ball they were walking down Lib
erty street, amusing themselves by snow
balling each other. Robinson says that he
was neat McDonald when one of his friends
threw a snow-ball at him, and in endeavor
ing to &ge it he stumbled and fell against
McDonald, who immediately pulled a re
volver out and shot at him, one shot;just
gr,zing his right cheek and leaving a scar.
He walked away from McDonald, when the
latter shot at him again. They then
clenched- and a scuffle ensued, during
which other shots were fired, the sixth one
hitting him in the leg, as we have stated.
After this he was carried from the field.
What ensued afterwards he says he does
not know.
Chief Irwin and Lieutenant McCoy ar
rested Patrick Harkins, who, it is said,
participated in the affray . Saturday morn
ing, and McCoy made information before
the Mayor, merging both Harkins and
Boyle, whose arrest we noticed Saturday,
with febinious assault and battery.
The prisoners were committed to jail to
await the result of the injuries received by
McDonald, who was removedto the Homce

The Omaha Republican of Saturday says
-
that two-thirds, if not more, of the railroad
bridge across the Mfssonri at that point
are gone. The bridge was completed at an
early hour on Tuesday morning last. From
that time the bndge was used for passing
loaded freght cars until ten o'clock Friday
forenoon, by which time about five hun
dred had crossed. About that time
it was noticed that a pier was
sprung out of place. Taking sound
ings the water was found to. be
eighteen feet deep. _,At the time
of driving the pile it was only eight
feet deep. It was evident that the shifting
sand where the piles were driVen was
washing out. The trains of, cars were
stopped and the pile driven, but just when
commencing operations an immense bddy
of ice came running down and swept the
larger portion of the bridge away and car
ried it down the river. Two or three of the ,
boats are left on the lowa side and one on
the Nebraska and that is aIL Luckily no
person was on the bridge when the acci
dent occurred. In one hour after the bridge
was destroyed the managers of the Union
PaCitio Railroad had men and teams at
work hauling material for building a
new bridge. Unless severe weather pre
voila, the work will be accomplished in a
brief season, bat exactly hOw - soon cannot
be told.
