Dkath of Hon. James Bloom. It is
with emotions of deep regret that we record
the death of HorT James Bloom, of this
county. He died at his residence in Bloom
township, on Monday morning, September
Uth IS65, of typhoid fever, aged about 71
years. William Bloom, the father of the
deceased removed to Clearfield County in
lS'tC, with his family, where they have resi
ded ever ince. In 1861 James was elected
Avweiate Judge, aud discharged the duties
of his office with fidelity. lie was a man
mueh beloved by all who knew him, on ac
count of his kind and friendly dLspostion,and
jovial and pleasant address. His death
will be deeply mourned by bAs numerous
family connections, and regreted by his
many warm and admiring friends.
A HEW BAILBOAD PEOJEOT.
The following letter and article, in refer
ence to a n;w projected railroad connection
with Clearfield, will be read with interest,
and is worthy the attention of our people :
Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 5, 1865.
M. A Frank, Esq: Dear Sia: Not
knowing any one in your county, personally,
1 send this to you, with the request that
you will hand to some public-spirited indi
vidual, who will consult with others, and, if
tie subject strikes them as important, take
uteps to secure to you, and to us, a valuable
cuunectiou.
You have in Clearfield county 736,000
acres of land, and in all probability, if you
had a railway connection with this great
emporium of the lakes, every acre would ,be
enhanced in value not less than five dollars
per acre a sum of 3,500,000 dollars in all.
You are making efforts to have railroad con
i ections with the east, but consider, if you
could come where your coal is wanted, and
e very thjngj else you have to sell is wanted,
ia four orfive hours travel, how much more
valuable would be the connection to you.
Millions e tons of coal would find a market
here for home use, for use in Canada and
m our lake steamers, and in towns all along
the western shores of the lakes, east as well
S Won. Tatrp if a5t. find it. is nnt wantpil
because coal can bd from, points nearer,
- . - . . . . U .hhv ..?U . U w W UU
market. Measure the distance on the map
and you will see that you are within 1 30 miles
of this great eity. Such a railroad brings
you at once to the frontier of this rich lake
basin, with its millions of people and rising
Manufactures. Your people have only to
assist in building this road. It will go to
Emporium, and the true course from that
point is to your place and thence to Tyrone,
on its way to W ashing ton.
The great iron-works here, and the steam
ers, etc, now use nearly half a million tons
of coal per annum, from Wyoming coal
uuus, umo, ana uiossDurg sources of sun-
I
!,mucn jaruier off man uiearueld. - .Near
y all the wav from Emnorium the LM-mtas
are down ; but one place where there is an
?p grade, and that not excessive and short
Jst the rout for a coal road, when very
heavy loads can be taken to market. For
lack loading, the very rich ores of Canada
(70 per cent.) could be taken back to work
in your furnaces, if needed to mix with your
poorer ores
This connection will add immensely to
the wealth and importance of your whole
region of country, and aid us also, very
much giving us just what we want,
n cap and abundant supplies of bituminous
coal a material benefit all round.
Good bituminous coal sells here now for
..50per ton. Last year it was $12 and
13 per ton. Once it was as low as $4. .in n
-ton.
Yours Respectfully, C. li.
From the Buffalo, N. Y. Express.
T '
A5m Coal. A company has
been formed ID our city and a charter ob
tained from the Pennsylvania Legislature for
he portion of it in that Sute, tor the con
struction of a railroad from Buffalo to Em
ronunvuj Cameron county, Pa., situated on
the hue of the Philidelnhia and Erie Uau"
road, called the Buffalo and Washington
Kailroad Company.
Much money has been sunk by our citi
zens in a railroad project leading to the coal
mines of Pennsylvania, all of which may be
looked upon as lost.
We must have this coal. Upon a full sup
Ply oi coal at low prices depends the future
Po th of our city. Without it this never
TK a reat roannfacturing place.
ine coal exists in great abundance all
around this place Emporium. East, west
l tu M ,onS a as lsu4i the
coal fields at Clearfield, in Clearfield county
were worked. Ti,,f Jr.;
tunnies from here. Persons well Mnnaint.
ed
wita the neighborhood of Emporium'
and Ridgway say those places are over
thirty miles soutt of the northern out-crop
of the coal of the great Appalachian coal
fields. ; ; ' .
Such being the facts, indisputable, all we
have to do is to build the railroad and. tlie
coal will come. Surely, this city can do this
thing.
The motives are the very strongest which,
call upon us to build this road to the coal
region. With cheap bituminous coal we can
enter into manufacturing a great variety ot
commodities, and that will bring in a great
population. Without low-priced fuel our
growth must be moderate. . All we require
to make this a great manufacturing city is
this one item of coal, and there it is, await
ing an outlay of one or two millions of dol
lars to build a road to it.
How long would such a community as
that of Chicago neglect their opportunities as
we are doing. They would call a meeting
and subscribe the needed sum in one eve
ning ; they are projecting railroads continu
ally, every one of which promotes their
growth, but not one of all their roads has
been so advantageous to them as a road
leading to the great coal fields of Pennsyl
vania would be to us.
It is said that a railroad of about 120
miles would penetrate 40 or 50 miles into
the coal fields south of us. The city of
Philadelphia, which is a vast manufacturing
city, the most so on this continent, brings
the majority of the coal used there about
the same distance.
Cincinnati, which consumes iu her manu
factories a great deal of coal, has to rely on
the supplies brought from along distance up
the Ohio and Monongahela.
Few places would procure their fuel from
shorter distances than we, if we had a rail
road leading down into Elk and Clearfield
counties.
Doubtless our people are tired of hearing
about coal from Pennsylvania, and coal
railroads ; still coal they must have, if not
for manufacturing, for heating and cooking,
and pay ten to fifteen dollars per ton for it
sometimes.
The saving a railroad would effect, on our
present consumption, in a very few years
would build such a railroad as is needed.
Look at it as we will, the commonest dic
tates of thrift and prudence, call upon us to
take steps once more to give life to some
good, sensible plan for reaching these co;d
deposits, which we by this time feel sure lie
so near us, and to give our money too.
Will not our real estate owners, and our
commercial men, countenance the construc
tion of this needed railway. C.
The Carnival of Crime.
There never was, perhaps, a period of
time when the baser passions of men run riot
to such an extent as ot rrnt. Scarcely a
newspaper can be picked up that does not
record a murder, robbery, or sonic other hien
ous offence. The poisoning of seven per
sons by a Mrs. Grinder, iu Allegheny city,
Pa., has already been mentioned in our col
umus. If anything, a still more horrible af
fair occurred recently in England. A man
calling himself Ernest Southey, a billiard
marker, went with three children of a Mrs.
White, his paramour, to a coffee house in
London, and after having been there a few
days, put them to bed ia the evening, and
next morning they were found in bed pois
oned to death. Whilst the news of the deed
was filling London with excitement, the per
petrator, having made good his escape, was
engaged, 70 miles Off, on other work equally
horrible. It seems his real name was Ste
phen Forwood, and that, .some years ago, he
had abandoned his wife at Ramsgate. Hav
ing found her, he asked to have a private
conversation, which being granted, he con
fessed that he had murdered the three chil
eren in London then drew a pistol and shot
his wife and himself. A few days since at
Dedham, Mass., Mrs. Susannah Mar.ston,
whilst laboring under a fit of insanity, admin
istered chloroform to her husband and a
daughter, and then with a pistol, inflicted
such wounds as to cause almost instant death.
Last week Mr. David Muir, the Supevin
tendant "of the New York and Schuylkill
coal company was foully assassinated at
New Mine, in Schuylkill county, Pa., and
thus far the perpetrators of the deed have
eluded the officers of the law. The recital
of these crimes is not at all consonant with
our sense of taste. We make this brief
sketch of them only to give an insight into
the moral condition of the world, in our day,
and of showing the necessity of every order
loviug citizen exerting himself in such away
as will tend to restrain men from the couir
mission of wrong and of crime.
In one village in the Delta of the Nile, cel
ebrated for the cultivation of watermelons,
the whole of the inhabitants died during the
recent prevalence of cholera. Being unable
to sell their fruit, they ate it themselves and
died to the last man. It was necessary to
employ forced-labor to bury the last. It is
said that in all eighty-two thousand victims
of the contagion and bad living were buried
in Egypt within six weeks.
Thirty-five millions, nine hundred and
sixty thousand dollars of the compound in
terest notes have been printed by the Treas
ury Department, to place the same amount
taken at the treasury and cancelled.
Evidences of vast mineral wealth, in Ari
zona, arc accumulating. New lodes rich in
silver, gold and copper are being discovered
all over the Territory.
