Along the New Railroad.
j A correspondent of the Pittsburg IK-i
--! patch who followed the line of the new
I railroad from a point on the Allegheny
j river to Sazonbarg, last Tuesiay, write*
i as follow.-:
j The only tunnel on the re-ail is a email
one, 350 feet l<«np, which is being driven
by contractor Simon Uerrold under Brim
stone Corners. This hamlet is the only
lewn on the road between Butler and the
river, and its sulphurous name was occa
sioned by the collection of roughs that
once infested it, the farmers say. It seems
peculiar and fated that the Butler and
Pittsburg Railroad should avoid it by tun
n»hng 55 feet beneath it.
This tunnel is one of the most imp<rt*r.t
contracts on the 'ice. It is almo.-t two
miles long, with it.- approaches, aud 7-> 000
feet of earth and r;ick will be ts*en out of
the approaches alono. Work has been b-3-
pun from both ends, and a monster stoma
.-hovel, with its great steel teetn, ha> been
tearing its way into one end. All the eat:n
from this excavation is hauled 1 1 2 mi'r
to a deep ravine toward the river.
Little steam locomotives were puffing
fussily about yesterday,anil I guinea
idea of what the finished road will >k
like. The rauae is bridged with a high
ro-igh trestle, and the earth is dump d
from this uunl the wood work is buried.
C I. &' A. W. McDonald, the genera!
contractors, have a cut 3') leet deep and
500 feet long at Brimstone Corners over
half done, and the digging is being pushed
wish great i.peed. Spellacy <k Ellwier, of
Columbus, ho have almost two miles ol
digging, have 150 men at work with scra
pers and D. A. Sanders bus 140 men and 40
horses taking out the earth from bis bait
mile ol work. The cuts in these portions
are heavy, deep and rocky, and the ad
vance made is necessarily tedious.
The greatest and most important con
tract on the entire road is thai at the Sum
mit cut, which Contractors McDonald are
themselves doing. Over 1(52,000 cubic
yards of earth will have to be taken out,
and 200 laborers are employed night and
day. it is at this point that tho best idea
can be obtained of the progress made on
the line This cut, with a few is
3 l-2miles long. 55 feet .ieep and has nils
85 feet high The organiz itioa ofthe m»u
and the equipment could not be surpassed.
Great long trenches, 1G feet wide at the
base, 170 feet wide at the top and 20 teet
deep have been gouged out of tho so:M
rock by two monster steam shovels, and
the work is inly half complete. Tempor
ary tracks have been laid for four and a
half milei to the great ravines at either
end of the work, and four little steam loc >-
motives are kept constantly hauling back
and forth the 85 cars loaded with curlh.
And siill another 20 feet deeper must be
dug. One and one half miles in this cut
alone will cost over SIOO,OOO.
Figures cannot convey an idea of the
vaatness of the work. A personal visit
simply amazes those who have been read
ing of the road building. The line cut
through the highest point of the countr..
The .camp seems like a small city, and
the bustle and activity only strengthen
that impression. One of the great steaaj
shovels worked lor a time yesterday. The
earth for several rods before it had been
loosened to a depth of 20 feet. Hides had
been drilled to this depth, and powder
placed to the hottom. The charge was
only sufficient to increase the siza of the
hole to that of a barrel. Five kegs of pow
der and dj-namite were then lowered in
this well, tamped and exploded. The
earth lor rods was lifted ten feet in the air
in. one mass. As it fell the rocks were
shattered and the earth loosened.
Tho steam shovel began its work. Great
wagon loads were taken at one mouthful
and loaded in the loDg train of cars wait
ing. They were filled in e. few minutes
and the little engine puSed away with
them almost two miles to the big fill at.
Davis run. Another train was ready for
its load as soon as the first left, and it was
not many minutes until more dynamiie
was necessary to feed the greedy monster.
Over 150 Italians are deprived of a living
by its work, and its average daily duty is
1,000 yards ot earth and rock.
The hig fill at Davis run is 85 fee' high
and 270 feet at, tho base. Over I,sooyards
of masonry have been used in the culvert
already at a cost of $20,000. This tempo
rary trestle is only carried out a short dis
tancs, but it has proved a source of grtat
danger.
Only last week one of the snorting min
iature engines backed over the high bridge
with its train and crew. One of the brake
man was killed and another probably fatal
ly injured. The engineer escaped only by
jumping down the steep embankment
The disaster was equally as thrilling as a
railroad wreck.
The camp lifo at the summit and at the
other locations are interesting features.
All of the Itaiaus live by themselves in
bachelor fashion. Some live in mud dug
outs, others in tents and many iu rough
board structures. All living frugally with
but one ambition and hopo —that of re
turning to Italy with a fortune. Some
manage to live a week for 75 cents. The
American live more pretentiously. At
the summit they wore camped in a beau
tiful irrove in neat frame dwellings erect
ed by the contractors They live well are
happy and tho caterer ( f the camp, Jim
Noss, is their guardiaD angel. 1 did not
see a woman ia one of the camps nor a
child. It is a great village of bachelors.
Every comfort and convenience is fur
nished on the summit. It costs the con
tractors $lO a day for water alone and $25
more for fuel, but.'hey have each in aband
ance. An abandoned oil well was leased,
and the water pumped from this to large
reservoir tanks.
Each camp has its company store, op
erated by the contractor, and a black
smith's forgo is kept busily running. At
the summit A. W. McDonald keeps his
blooded horses, >wo cows and everything
that will cater to his enjr.yment. It is
an ideal out door summer life.
Two contractor have the last 14 miles
of the road, and both are rushing ahead.
Breon & Butler have four miles of work
of 175,000' cubic yards, and keep 100 men
employed. At the Butler end the Fergu
son Contracting Company has 10 miles,
with 500,000 y ards of excavation. Over
500 men are at work, and the place is
more than half done. Every employment
is at hand. Although cut up by trestles
and tills, it is now looking as if this strip
would be finished first.
The scenery along tho route was grand.
The loaves were ju»t turning yesterday,
and the wild country added beauty. I saw
but few places suitable for village sites
This will probably be just to Chairman
Reed's liking. He wants freight exclusive
ly. Tho lino was either above 01* below
grade for the first 14 miles, but at the
summit the location is admirable. The
country is flat and rooling, and the land
rich. It was tho prettiest place on the
entire line.
The grade is wonderfully low for the
hilly country. It will doubtless startla
those who have claimed success for the
road impossible, It can scarce be sur
passed lor last, through freight service
and Pittsburg may expect a revolution iu
Ireight rates on its completion.

ahsr
tU MJ
It's a point iu you "i to buy'
your c ethes at a fair puce. We
bavc the right goods and make
them lip in the best of style and
ask a price for them which will
astonish you. We don't want to
startle von, but just think of the
excellent tilings we are selling at
nominal prices.
Between Man and Man. There
is a feeling of confidence in a
merchant who has always dealt
fairly with his patrons. We
have the reputation of treating
our customers fairly; that is wliy
people come to us. Our prices
are right, our goods excellent.
Fits is what you get.
A Convincing Argument. When
you give a man golden promises
each promised backed up by your
reputation and that reputation
sustained by every transaction,
you are working a more telling
argument for future business _ than
in any other way. The point is
to talk honesty and represent the
goods as they are. Our best tailor
made goods are cheap at the price
sold but are not cheap goods, call
and see fall styles.
