Many years t go" it was owned by William John A pres. Ayres' real estate located on the South Side of the creek was sold at SherifTs sale, but the Sheriff in making his deeds bounded the property on the north by the creek, neglecting tho narrow strip on the north side—then prao tically worthless. In after years the Mackeys and Fullortons who held title on the suuth side, claimed tho strip on the north side, and sold it off in lots.

The work of grading the Butler and Pittsburg Railroad, said the Dispaich ol lust Sunday, will be conr'scced tomor row. C. l" McDonald who secured the contract loi the entire 30 miles north ol the Allegheny river, awarded the con tract yesterday for ten miles of tho road south of Butler to the Ferguson Contract ing Co., of Corning. X. Y. The contract for two miles of grading north of the Alle gheny river, was awarded to T. A. Maselli. of Colnmbos. O. The masonry, exclusive of the tuunei work, was awarded to Grady. Coda £ Co., of Beaver Fails The tunnel work and the rest of the line will bo award ed this week. McDonald contracted to grade and han die 1,250,000 cubic foet of earth for a price that wili reach $700,000. as exclusively .stated in The Dispatch. Iu the ten miles tho Ferguson company contracted for there are 24S 000 cubic yards, and in that of T. A. Maselli there are 110,000 cubic yards This makes about one-thin' ol the entire work already let by sub-contract. ' Contractor T. M. Ferguson left last night for New York to send the machine.-}-, horses and apparatus for the work to Pitts barg. lie wa.s one of the bidders for the entire road, bet has done good work on large contracts. He built 130 miles of the Evansville and Richmond R-. lraad, and did some heavy *-crk suc cessfully on the Cleveland, Lorain and Wheeling. HAS HAD A GOOD EXPERIEUCS Maselli is also a large contractor, and did a share of the work on the Cleveland road under Ferguson. He has also built portion* of the Norfolk and Western, Ohio Central and Hocking Valley Railroads Gradv, Coda it Co. have held large con tracts for masonry on most ol the large roads. Contractor McDonald will leave tomoi row to travel over the line from Denny station to the big cut near Saxonburg, to inspect the tunnel sites so the contracts (or the construction of these can be let. lie will be accompanied by several promi nent tunnel contractors. One of the tun nels is two miles north of the Allegheny river and is 410 feet long, and tie second is ten miles north of the river, and is 350 feet long. The great summit cut is three miles west ol Saxonburg and 15 mile* north of the Allegheny river. It is 3,500 feet long and 50 feet deep, and con'ains 131 000 cubic feet of earth. This is going to proye one of the most difficult under takings iu the entire work, but Contractor McDonald is making abundant provision to do it successfully. Two monster steam shovels and four locomotives wilt be use !at the cut &nd three miies of double track railroad for the distribution of the excavated eaitb will be built. Over 100 earth cars wi'l bo pro vided. All these, with the engines and shoveb;, will be transported six miles over laud from Saxonburg. The water supply at present at the point < f the cut is inade quate, and a two inch pipe lino will be laid to a never failing source and an abundance of winter will be pumped. OVKR ONK MILLION BRICKS. All the tunnels will havo masonry sido wall to the sprang of tho arch, and the arches will oe constructed of brick. Over 1,000,000 bricks will bo used in the two tunnels, and to facilitate the work large brick kilns will be erected at suitable points near the tunnels. The clay at the two points makes first class brick. The contract for tho tunnels will be let this week, ;?o that a start can l>e made. Con tractor Maselli will begin work on his con tract tomorrow, and he expects to finish it by December, Since Contractor McDonald was award ed the contract he has been besieged with Italians, labor agents and negnes seeking work ou the l'ne. The slopping of work on the extension improvements along the Pennsylvania Railroad has turned adrift thousands of laborers, who want to work on the Butier & Pittsburg road. McDon ald has had offers ot 3,000 laborers irorn one employment agency alone, and scores of letters and visits have beeu received from labor contractors of West Virginia aud other Soutnern States. Many negroes have been offered for the work, but local uien, who have become acclimated, will probably be hired. Be said hp would find little trouble ia getting an efficient force logetber to be£.in work immediately. President James T. O'.'ell left for Xew Y oik last night. Be said the plans of the line located between the Allegheny and Monogahela rivers were being pushed rap idly to completion, and that a contract would ba ready for award this mouth. WHBHK SHOPS WILL BE LOCATBO. Ihe Butler & Pittsburg directors have practically decided to locate the round hon-;e, machine and repair shops of the road on a plateau near the south end of tho big 2,700 foot tu-inel. These will be large buildings, and will be included in the con tract for tho construction of the roa 1 be tween vhe two rivers. The site is in an elegant location on Thompson's run, at the end of the Union railway. No plans have been prepared,.but the structures will be built large enougn to Jo the work for tho entire line to Lake Erie, including the Pittsburg, Shenango <t Lake Erie road The poA-er station for supplying the elect rical power to .he Union rai'way will also be located at this point. The railroad company controls p!enty of property adapt ed for the shop.-' Chief Engineer F. E. Bouse and Store tary R A. Franks returned yesterday from a tramp over tho route from th-j Allegheny river to Butler They were delighted with tho country and tho low grades obtained. Shiutien are already being erected tor the housing ol tho laborers at different points along the .ou'e. A special provision in the contracts with the sub-contractors pro hibits the taking of whisky on the work, and McDonald therefore believes the sub contracts will be faithfully filled.
